    Head space accessories

    Generally, my colon hits me with an exclamation point! I use my head all season. Most of the boys go over the side for #1, when no girls are aboard. The girls always use the head. (yes, I am using boys/girls to distinguish between the sexes.) The head is really convenient at the dock (no...

    07 330 Express Bow Thruster

    Aw, damn it! I wish you had posted this last week. I would have loved to have started an April Fool's thread on THT for "help me pick the best prop for my bow thruster".

    Tie off line with a windlass?

    I don't think I would use the safety cable, because I don't think the eye bolt has a backing plate. I like DennisG01's suggestion. Alternatively, you could make a short cable/line with a clevis hook to go from the cleat to the chain. All it takes is one boat wake or an errant wave to cause you...

    Tie off line with a windlass?

    Choice A: cleat it off every time and know you did the right and it's not your fault, should you ever have an issue with the windlass. Choice B: don't cleat it off every time, then have an issue with the windlass (could be costly) that might have been caused by not cleating it off, then regret...

    Tie off line with a windlass?

    ^^it could be said that there is no good reason to not cleat it off. (laziness is not a good reason ;) )

    Name placement - transom or side?

    Hi, I think on the transom is best. It avoids ghosting on the sides, if/when you want to sell the boat. This is especially true on new boats and boats with colored hulls. It also reduces the possibility of damage to the graphic from docking and fishing tackle.

    Tie off line with a windlass?

    Yes. Also, when it comes time to haul the anchor, you should s-l-o-w-l-y ride up on it by bumping the boat in/out of gear, while running the windlass. You need to be careful to not run over the line.

    First ride....magnificent!

    Hi, I believe a pump is available for homes with low water pressure. Perhaps putting one on the dock might be a solution.

    New Suzukis

    Hi, "250 Suzukis"... I don't think you need 250 of them. Two should be sufficient. ;) Seriously though, I don't know anything about them, but I would suggest making sure whichever batteries you have are compatible (i.e. correct size, etc.). I recall my Yamaha tech telling me that many new...
