    That is why I went electric, push a button and it goes down, push a button and it comes up.:)

    Stern Anchor?

    To obtain maximum holding power of your anchor, the total anchor rode should be 4 to 7 times the depth of the water you will be anchoring in. No matter what you drop down, if it is not taking a bite you will drag it along the bottom when there is wind and waves. If you pull a fluke style from...

    2007 Sunesta 254 Anchor Hatch

    Probably was the right thing to do. It will look nicer than a repair, and help to keep the value up

    Mercruiser Cone Clutch

    I am cresting 2,000 hrs. and have never had an issue with my 1985 alpha 1 slipping. You have to engage them quickly, or they will chatter.

    It is an exit for something, my guess is the bilge pump, mine and Dan's are close to the water line.

    Lost my instrument panel lighting while instruments still working

    Sorry about the color choice, I knew it was either blue or purple. the black wire you seen was a ground wire. If wired to neg. ground, the wire will be black on cars and boats, at least this is what I have always found. Sounds like there is loose connection somewhere. maybe the fuse or a broken...

    Lost my instrument panel lighting while instruments still working

    I believe the purple wire is for the lights. And they are pig tailed together. So there is only one wire that feeds all of them.

    Lost my instrument panel lighting while instruments still working

    Dan you and I basically have the same outfit. Many years ago I had a the same situation with my trim gauges. First mark (take a photo) of the settings on the trim gauges, then take them apart and clean them, get all the old grease out, you may even see a little water in them, if so this may be...

    Did you know ....

    It sure did, now we carry the mini version in our pocket. And people can't take their eyes off of it. It seems no one knows how to carry on a conversation, because they are looking down at that little bube tube. In years to come they will wonder why they have trouble trying to lift their heads...

    Can you imagine the a guy standing there and saying I think I will put a road on this wall. Or to be politically correct it could have been a gal.:)

    My girl brand new in 85 listed for 27K . The original owner paid 21K. I got it from him 7 yrs later for 13.5 That was a lot of money back then. But the wages and the cost of living were in balance and the Average Joe could could afford to buy a few toys. Bayliner put a lot of people on the water...

    12v Power Plugs Not Working

    First rule of thumb, look for fuzes, sometimes they hid them. Try a circuit tester to see if you are getting power to the plugs.

    Cuddy size

    The other thing to consider is cabin height. Small boats are not made for tall people, and some big boats are not either. Except for mine. My one friend was the measuring stick for the bottom of my radair arch, he is 6'7. When I put up my camper top, I have a room that is 6' x 10' by 6'7. Plus I...

    Sunesta Dock Light Bulb Retension Spring
