In the East Coast (not sure of other places) we have yacht clubs. These clubs are listed "not for profit". What I mean is that they are member owned. A big price difference. If there are clubs that you can join you may want to look into them. Right now I am paying 2/3 less than the Marina next...

Thats how I carry mine! It goes on the upper deck.

Boating is not cheap! But my wife and I consider it our vacation home on the water.

Oh! I would look at Cutwater boats. There can be trailered, with outboard and diesel engines. Some have gensets, solar systems and thrusters.

I understand! My last Chap was a 2011 Sig 29 with twin 4.5L engines. I was getting a flow rate of 22 to 23GPH at 28 to 30MPH. Your flow rate sounds too high or you have older engines and drives. But thats why I went to a diesel engine. Many pluses over gasoline

I use diesel. Anyways?? I have said this before, gas the the cheapest thing about boating! We spend thousands on slip fees, Insurance, taxes, upgrades and more. I spent $600 on fuel last year. If it doubles, that goes to $1200. Not happy over it. Again, its small compared to everything else...

I would look at Sailrite.com They have everything on this. From sewing machines, snaps, hardware, straps, tools, UV thread and more. I made window covers for my boat that blocks 80% sunlight and you can see though it. Great for when the boat is in its slip. Point is, its one stop shopping...

welcome!!

Did water get in there? The shaft is really rusted.

No room for me!

A good story on how it all happened! Don't get me wrong, nothing against sterndrives. I feel there is more maintenance with them. We all know what its like to own one. With a full inboard, you may have one or two cutlass bearings and a drip or dripless seal. Both need to be changed every 5 to...

Another season I went with full in-board unit. I hate to say that , but true. You should replace the bellows since the drive is off. Even if it does not need it due to all the work just to get the drive off. Good luck with it!!

Like at the boat! Its a Donzi so the guy has money but no smarts.

So did you install the AP?

Sailrite is very helpful too. I did some of my canvus over and they had some great suggestions.

Sorry its Sailrite.com

Look at Sailrate.com A lot of good stuff there!!

New England Boat Show is coming up. It gives us something to do and sometimes you see something new that you could use.

The more I am thinking about it, both meters should have separate naturals. if I am seeing the panel right, one meter is for cord #1 and the other cord #2. Yes? But I don't know how its really wired. My boat, both cords are total separate.

Have you opened it up and checked the wiring? I could be wrong, but I would check the neutral wire to the gauges first. Due to the fact, that both 120V meters are not working. If you want to upgrade, Blue Sea System has some very nice digital gauges.
