Re: Warning - DOCUMENT YOUR BOAT! and request for advice

It is even easier to lien a documented vessel, print out the form on line and send it in to the Coast Guard. That is it.

Re: Cruising the USA

I had the opportunity to meet a German couple in Bodega Bay, California and asked them about the U.S. Customs. They said that our policies are very hard to deal with, that they had to notify customs...

Re: Advice

My point in bringing up the cruisers helping cruisers was not to suggest you or anyone else is looking for charity, just that having those skill does not always make you money. Now writing could be a...

Re: Engine life expectancy

There is no set amount of hours a marine diesel will last. It depends a lot on how they were run, the maintenance, and how well they were built in the first place. Hours are ambiguous, the best...

Re: Dirty Filthy Flimsey Dickinson Heater

cburger,

Re: Electric Sailboat . . . On The Cheap ?

Bob,

The switch and pot are only used to control the inverter drive so no real current needs to be carried by either to perform their function. I have installed dozen of these drives on machine...

Re: Electric Sailboat . . . On The Cheap ?

Why not go with something like a Baldor "Washdown" motor and an off the shelf inverter drive? One would need to figure out how to power the inverter (I know they all convert the input AC to DC and...

Re: Family Planning to Move Aboard

Hello Kevin,

Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you have a good list of fine boats you are looking at. You do gain some benefits from giving up a little speed, after all is going fast isn't why we...

Re: Montana to Sailboat

I wouldn't worry about it too much. You will find that everyone on the forum has an opinion. Some on here just get a bit testy when you don't share theirs.

Oh well,

Re: Montana to Sailboat

Hey,

We made a similar life change last year; Eastern Washington State farming to Pacific Ocean in two months. It has been quite the experience and over all we are glad we did it. I think next...

Re: A True End to the Multi vs Mono Debate

Re: What Makes a Seaworthy Boat ?

I am going to go ahead and open the proverbial can of worms here, so be warned.

Most modern boats are designed for racing and going fast to windward. They are not designed to heave to and most...

Re: Kids aboard VS wait... WHEN?

Grandpa is over 90. (We've lost count of the actual number; he's in the bracket that you celebrate birthdays but forget the number.) He's not able to sit for long distances as it really hurts him,...

Re: Kids aboard VS wait... WHEN?

Ultimately the reason for going & knowing how your kids would handle it are something only you would know. Reading and learning from others that have done it does give better perspective and the...

Re: Best LED bulbs for the buck

To answer your question regarding if anyone had actually bought the cheap ones off e-bay; yes I have. To be honest I have had zero problems with them and the color is as described. The ones...

Re: Downsizing from House to Sailboat

We just went through and are finishing up the process. We lived on a farm so some of the things we were keeping as spares and just in case items went to the dump. Some went to the thrift...

Re: Marinized Engine With Which Transmission ?????

I could be wrong here so someone correct me if I am. From what I have seen people start getting nervous when they see one of these newer engines with 3-5k hrs on them. While I know some have given...

Re: Marinized Engine With Which Transmission ?????

The Detroits are usually ambidextrous; you can mount things on either side. You can also get them with the blower on either side which means the dip stick can be on either side. You can also easily...

Re: Marinized Engine With Which Transmission ?????
