Re: Ok To Skip Bottom Paint For 1 Season?

I am another one of those four year haul out guys. I usually put 3 coats of Trinidad on and have a diver clean the bottom about 4-5 times a year. The diver uses a glove made of shag carpet so there...

Re: Can 2 people live aboard and just be friends?

I cannot understand why anyone would even consider living on a small boat ( or even a big house ) with someone they don't like. It's really not all that hard to go out and find someone you like and...

Re: The Reason People Are Moving Away From Monohulls

I don't see much mentioned about slips available for Multi-hulls.
Maybe it is not an issue elsewhere, but here on the San Francisco Bay (and most of the California Coast) it is not very easy to find...

Re: Heartbreaking first launch

I do feel sorry for the guy. And I can't help but wonder whether the guy operating the crane or the people at the marina had a sense of what was likely to happen?

Re: Please talk me out of it..

sailing on boats is more fun than working on boats. spend the money to get a boat that is ready to go rather than spending what will add up to the same dollars and working on a boat for a year or two.

Re: Please talk me out of it..

The list you are showing could cost $50-$75K or more to do right.
Add that to the "unbelievable price" the boat is being offered for and is it still such a good deal?

Re: Wet Exhaust - Is This Mixing Elbow Right?

This is the new style mixing elbow for Yanmar.
Looks kind of like the one you are asking about.
I have this elbow on my 3gm30f with 1100 hours and no problems.

Re: Yanmar Impeller Change Frequency Question

I change my impeller about every 200 hours. They usually come out looking pretty good although one time I found a couple of broken ( but still attached ) vanes.
My original pump started leaking at...

Re: Taiwan Made Boats

Actually the pier that you refer to is in Rio Del Mar (just a few miles from Santa Cruz) and is now a twisted rotting hulk that is broken into several pieces and closed to the public.

Re: Documentation renewal

Thank you very much for posting this topic.
I received this letter last week and was just about to go to the website and "process" my USCG DOC renewal when I saw your post.

Re: l dont like my miserable sugar scoop stern!

Not being able to sleep in the aft cabin in the rare event that a current turns your stern to the wind is a without question bourgeois tragedy of enormous proportion!

Re: Purchased yacht, but can't document. Broker unresponsive. Any advice?

I would also contact the state board for broker licensing.
The broker has a clear responsibility to facilitate the transfer of title.
A failure to do this could put his license to do business in...

Re: Yanmar 3GMF 20 coolant flush has rusty metal flakes

Engines with aluminum blocks require special antifreeze/coolant.
Get coolant that is specified for Asian cars.
Zerex 675130 Asian Vehicle Antifreeze / Coolant is a good choice.

Re: SF Bay Area: Newbie looking for experienced sailor

Go to West Marine or go on-line and join the Boat US tow-boat service. Doesn't cost all that much and will give you some insurance in case there is a problem. Make sure the VHF radio works.

Re: 2016 Catalina 385 with self tending headsail Now at dealer costs

I really hope that this is not a trend and half of the posts become advertising!
IMHO that kind of trend would devalue the website.
Is this what everyone wants from Cruisers Forum?

Re: What's your take on this Vega?

Yeah, it's probably best just to do as you are told and/or just stay home!
