I use my fridge all the time but have only ever used the microwave once. That space is so small that I'm not contemplating using it. I run the genset every week or so only to keep the fuel fresh and to keep it running. Someday I'll do the inside passage and I'll use it then. Thanks for...

You have to like that clean hull. I had to bottom coat mine, but if I ever buy another I want a clean hull to inspect. Fair winds and dream of large fish. Randy

Waterproof cover eh? Thanks for the followup information. Looks like I'd better order one too.

The prior owner had a semi-circle of starboard installed to handle some of the flare. I don't use the light much so I can't really say if it works all that well. I'll post a photo of I have one.

I'll have to be extra careful when I change mine. I didn't realize that was a plastic part. Randy

I have the replacement wiper arms/blades but have yet to do the replacement. I know you can get the arm with the water wash, but it was very expensive. From my looking, here is the info on buying parts at one location: The wiper arm is a 20" and sells for $35.55 each. The arm is the style...

I have the same gen set in my 300 Marlin. I replaced the impeller on mine and I'll never do that myself again. I had to use a board on which to slide my overweight self into the bilge opening, reach behind the genset (after have removed the housing) and blindly, one handed remove four wing...

I don't think having a boat look like a porcupine is a good thing but I hated all the rods banging around in the cuddy. I took off the stock rocket launchers and made a buyer very happy. I had a local shop make up a double row of rocket launchers so I think I can handle running out over the...

My 2007 is 7 or 8 turns lock to lock. I did find the number online once but it depends on your helm and cylinders, one or two station. I think Google may be able to find the expected turns.

Sounds too simple, but check the faucet near the stern. Mine was jamming the thumb button and I emptied an entire tank of bleach shock treatment before I found the simple solution. Randy in Oregon

Thanks for posting this issue, zincs arriving today. Randy

Color me jealous. Good luck on the sale.

But how does one delete a photo that is months old?

Thanks for the tip on the shape of the holes. Randy

So I need some suggestions on how to repair this hole so a screw can get a bite. My first thought is to use some West systems with a stiffening filler to level out the out old hole, then use a 2" wide piece of glass cloth on the bottom and top of this corner, then follow that with a 1" strip...

How does one delete an uploaded photo? My permissions tell me I'm not allowed to do that. I like to upload photos for a question, and then delete it if it is no longer useful. Randy

I had one of the metal zippers stuck, with a broken off pull. I used Corrosion Block on it for a week, kept applying it every couple of days. I used the thin product, not the HD. At last I was able to move it a bit using pliers, and then it broke free. I'm having to use the same method on...

I've had a small Furuno 1715 unit on a 22' aluminum boat for fog issues. I liked the idea of the two units in case my plotter quit. It worked great. I could pivot the large RAM holder so the screen faced me or assign radar duty to my mate and I could focus on the water in front of me. I...

Off The Hook, did you mean to ask the number of beers to change the impeller? I tried to change it today, and now I understand. I'm not yet finished. I did have to run and buy more wing nuts, and need to locate a flash light to find the now missing wing nut. They are M4 by the way. I'll get...

I used Iridium up in a water shed. Their satellite constellation is on a polar orbit. The watershed had valleys running east/west, and there were several minutes when the satellite had dipped below the treeline, and you had to wait for the next satellite. As with all communications, know what...
