Re: Heat exchanger in an old boat

Thanks all! I feel much better and will go with it as is (except for new anodes). The low time of the engine makes me want to save it and pile a bunch of hours on it running around and having fun!

Re: AIS different brands any good??

Re: AIS different brands any good??

I have a Matsutec and absolutely love it! I have a GROL, so programming it was legal for me, but you are supposed to have a licensed person do it. You won’t be sorry with this unit . It does...

Re: Will Sailboats Still Be Made in 30 Years?
