Hi to all you new members.
Please note that this Forum heading is "Meets and Greets" . This is where you introduce yourself. Please take your time to look around the rest of the forum before posting anything other than your introduction here. You should find a topic heading that will meet any question you have to pose (boating related that is). Please post questions in those particular related forums. If you ask a question in this forum heading, you may find your question is never fully answered.
Thanks, have a great time here, we look forward to seeing your posts.

A further note, to improve the “answerability” and “searchability’ of your queries:
Compose thread titles with care.
Ie: A new thread titled, “What is the right size propeller?” will attract much more, and more appropriate attention, than one containing the same question, but titled; “Hi - new member from Tahiti”, or “What size”.
Correct speeling also helpz.

Our Forum “Search” function isn’t really all that functional; however there is an EXCELLENT “Custom” Google Search, for subjects in the CruisersForum at:
