Re: 1988 Norseman 400 Excellent Cruiser

Also, you have the only other Norseman 400 that I've seen that has three chainplates per side. Super sturdy rigs!

Re: Is "diesel efficient" fuel suitable for a small marine engine?

Fleet guy here. It similar to Chevron's Techroline. It will still burn (work) and won't hurt anything. I'd only buy it if was cheaper than regular diesel.

The site for Exxon Efficient doesn't...

Re: Stocking up the Firstaid Kit - Mexico or Panama?

No. Mexico used this early on country-wide. Plenty of information online. Please don't make this political. This is a medical thread.

Re: Stocking up the Firstaid Kit - Mexico or Panama?

Our experience is re-stocking our med kit in Mexico.

You can buy most medication "over the counter" at the Mexican pharmacies (farmacia/far-mah-see-a) like YZA, Chedrauri grocery, and even...

Re: Buying a boat that was an inheritance

We have been witness to several boat sales after the passing of the captain. Albeit in Mexico , so international rules sort-of apply. (It is Mexico.)

Re: Allcraft Water Heater - A real longshot question

And if they are still blowing off, and they are tied to the engine, you may have an engine cooling issue. Take a look at your engine temperature gauge. If it's running above 190, you likely have an...

Re: Allcraft Water Heater - A real longshot question

It is just a standard "pop off" valve. Go to any hardware store and buy one that has the same pressure. They are fairly low pressure. There should be an aluminum tag on the original that states the...

Re: Allcraft Water Heater - A real longshot question

Change the relief valve. We found that ours (30 years in use) was constantly leaking (blowing off) and changing it solved the problem. We discovered it was leaking by first noticing the lazarette...

Re: Teak decks. Should I run away????

Our 1988 Norseman 400 had factory installed teak decks on it when we bought it in 2013. The teak was still 3/8" thick (original was 1/2'), so we opted to re-caulk the whole thing. Total cost was...

Re: Is this blistering “bad”?

Our boat had the same type of blistering at the waterline.

Re: What Pink Fluid Tastes Sweet

Why would you add that stuff to water tanks instead of just draining the tanks, lines, and pumps? Honest question.

When we winterize the travel trailer, the antifreeze is only added to pea traps...

Re: Please talk me out of buying a sailboat in San Diego/Los Angeles

Re: "Evicted": Marina Won't Renew Contract for Next Year to maximize Profit

Will you post a current picture of your boat? I've seen a lot of do-it-yourself work that I wouldn't want in my marina even if you manage to get it insured.

Just a thought.
