Re: Eddie Miller from New Mexico

As posted in a San Carlos forum, Eddie fell off either a dinghy or a kayak, hit his head and drowned. Someone will be caring for his dog.

Re: Which marina in Southern California for 6 to 8 months?

Re: Frigibar evaporator unit won't stay running

I simply ran a jumper wire from the power connection at the compressor to the battery bank. Since that worked I ran an independent wire from a 12v distribution lug with a fuse in the line. I haven't...

What year is the boat? Is it a Landfall? My '79 (not a Landfall) does not have a splice. Guess if a surveyor or rigger doesn't see a problem the splice was done well enough. Rod rigging?
