Re: Tent/RV AC units as replacements for marine ac units...(No more water cooling nee

So for the Ecoflow 2 I think the error 39 is signifying that the water reservoir is full. It's a bit confusing since it's not supposed to need an external water outlet, though it does say in a low...

Rubio Monocoat for the Interior and Exterior

Does anyone have any experience using Rubio Monocoat either on the exterior or the interior as a finish for teak? While I expect it should be fine on the inside, I am wondering how it wears outside,...

Re: 40ft sloop refit questions

A similar Morgan in fair to decent condition that runs and sails will probably run 50-60k. You could easily exceed this just getting and installing an engine and all the needed components for it to...

Re: Mac vs PC in marine environment

It's hard to beat the Mac M1/M2 models and the base units are probably good enough for most people. Mine m1 mini sips power compared to my previous intel laptop.

Your decision though probably...

Re: Which Starlink receiver?

You can get a maritime plan with the standard dish. Though it still has the same limitation on supporting in motion as the other roam plans.

Re: Anchors for the PNW/BC: San Juan and Gulf Islands

Anchoring in the San Juan's usually isn't to difficult, so most any anchor if properly sized should work if you use the correct amount of scope. With that said any modern anchors such as a Spade,...

Re: Keeping the water off your Lifepo4 installation

Connecting lower lifeline, when using Dyneema?

It sounds like your planning to make your own stanchions. It might be worth costing out pre made ones that have all the holes drilled with stainless grommets. Stainless tubing and end caps will be...

Re: Raymarine / B&G / or...Help..!!

Re: abandoning a beneteau cyclede 50.5

The boats are plenty seaworthy, they just aren't designed to deal with extreme conditions for long extended periods of time. Few yachts will ever leave well protected coastal areas, and most sailors...

Re: Fiber optic for boat data networks

Hookah System?

Guessing that might be a scam is it's basically the kickstarter one where they even copied the web design. Not that it couldn't be built for $40 the kickstarter one which seems more legit is $300.

Re: How do you ever get those Lifepo batteries charged?

If simple works for you and your sailing plans then that's what you should go with. Don't simply change for change.

LiPo batteries start making more sense if your out for weeks at a time, and...

Re: Can someone please please help me

It's unlikely they will be able to afford the monthly fees, or pay the back due rent. For a marina to chain a boat and put a red letter on it means that the slip probably hasn't been paid for in over...

Re: I need some basic no nonsense information about my first yacht please

Your best bet is to look for a boat about 10 years old, it will be in good shape and require reasonable maintenance. An older boat that is in good shape is also an option but you could start seeing...

Re: Gas to Electric Outboard for dinghy

One of the reasons you might be having problems is the gas your using likely has ethanol in it. Ethanol will gum up your carb, and is problematic on small engines, so you might try finding gas...
