Re: Rewring and Wire size

Totally understand! I've been doing 12v for many years and thought I knew a fair amount. I didn't know what I didn't know. We are in the midst of doing an upgrade to our 12v and have used a Marine...

Re: Jeanneau 410 or Catalina 425

We looked at both of those boats a lot while searching for our next boat several years ago. I liked the looks of both. I think you would be good to go with either. My personal opinion was the...

Re: Starlink for video

The only time I've had issues with Starlink at anchor were not from the rain, but the wind. High winds, 25+, at anchor has me kiting around and the signal was becoming problematic for my Zoom and...

Re: Old "bluewater" cruiser VS. new Beneteau, Jeanneau etc.

These conversations are all over the forum. The OP could simply scan back to them and read the hundreds of replies and save time.

Re: What's The Strangest Thing Your Anchor Picked Up?

This past weekend I was slicing off fishing line like it was my job. Even as the anchor settled in I could see even more line at a 50 degree angle down into the water. :facepalm:

Re: Is my dinghy all done? Destroyed?

Our WM PVC dink also did not make it through a single summer before the glue made it tacky/sticky to sit on. Making chaps is a bigger job than we have time for with full-time regular jobs. We're...

Re: B&G WS320 Bluetooth Wind Sensor The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Re: Chesapeake City Maryland depths

We were there 2 years ago this time, and we were pushing through 'mud' at 5'6" draft on the way out the following morning (low tide). We timed the current correctly but did not know we'd touch bottom...

Re: Looking for a $10k liveable Sailboat

There is no such thing as a maximum amount to spend on your boat. The good news is if you get the right one at least it probably won't all need to be at the same time. The bad news is you have to be...

Re: Restoring Perkins 4.108 after years of disuse

We had a 4.108 on our 84 Endeavour 40 CC and it sounded very, very similar to that. Had the boat for about 7 years. As far as I know we had it running quite well, it leaked a bit of oil and we had to...

Re: 2 month itinerary from Chesapeake north?

This has been an educational thread! While we aren't planning on Maine any time soon, we do want to head up to NY and maybe RI where I have a cousin to visit perhaps.

Re: UPDATE: Reduce Offer After Survey?
