Re: Marking your anchor location

Re: Yanmar 4JH4-TE Catastrophic failure

I’ve seen it before... you hit something with your prop and it James, that caused your engine to instantly stop and the rod gave way... at least you have a new engine.

Re: Comparing design of Delta and Sarca Excel anchors

It did hold last summer in 70 knots during hurricane Loraina but I wasn’t on the boat. If it’s going to blow 80 I’m going to set my big fortress out there as well. I would never rely on just one...

Re: Comparing design of Delta and Sarca Excel anchors

Ok I used a Bruce (claw) on several boats for 15 years and although they seem to set a little slow (drag for about 20’ while setting) they always held me. 5 years ago I tried the Delta on a friends...

Re: Passport 43 water in the gutter

UNCIVILIZED,

That is a great idea about extending the tube on a bevel to send the water off the topsides and I will defiantly take your advise. I am not sure if I can post a picture here but I...

Re: Passport 43 water in the gutter

I am in the process of drilling a 1" hole from the aft end of the gutter to outside of the hull. The nuisance water should flow out easily. I know the compromise is there will be a "watermark" down...

Re: Rutland 914i Problems

Re: Watermaker comparison worksheet

Let me be more clear for you. The essence of my comment is that a water maker is expensive and it's not just the up front cost. My Catalina 300 has a sea strainer, a 50 micron, a 20 micron and a 5...
