Rope around sail drive prop.

These are fixed blade Volvo sail drive props. They are not spun out. You can remove yours and compare. But- be really careful removing as you could lose a little collar sleeve, or the hex head bolt,...

What cape Ann? If you passed Cape Ann in Massachusetts Cape May in New Jersey seems irrelevant- where are you?

Re: OC Tender Owners - would you buy again?

I’ve been on quite a few OC tenders and they are nice- but my complaints are they are much more tippy than a standard rib- not that they will go over, just very much side roll. And the proprietary...

Re: Tandem Anchoring

Good thread. We have a 40 ft catamaran with a 55 pound Rocna on an all-chain rode. When we have a storm coming, I have played with putting out a second anchor, a 55 pound Mantus, on its own rode...

Re: Trying To Get To Alaska

Cool, interesting that happened although I've seen Canadian customs officers who gave us a really hard time and others an easy one, and vice versa too.

Re: Need help configuring Outback charger/mate/mppt to new ReLion Lithium batteries

We have three panels at 300w each, plus a wind generator. While working through this we are keeping our usage way down from what we did with 6 year old agms. I will try the lower settings today even...

Re: Need help configuring Outback charger/mate/mppt to new ReLion Lithium batteries

Thanks Jon,
I have disabled the temp sensor and yes, understand about not charging that high. For now, that's the opposite problem as we can't get the charge above 13.2 V. I don't know what the...

Re: Need help configuring Outback charger/mate/mppt to new ReLion Lithium batteries

Re: Is teaching boat skills on my boat illegal without a 6-pack?

Not sure about illegal, but it would be wrong to not provide at least a twelve pack. Hopefully IPA or something interesting.

Re: What would you do for a mast?

There are two Hunters on my dock here in Florida. I can walk out to verify, but I could swear I had seen joints in the masts recently, and assumed they were sleeved to begin with. If that's the case,...

Re: Plumbing with 5200?
