It's pretty amazing these countries worry about boater porta potties and let a whole cities dump all it's crap via straight pipe right into the water. I was reading a cruising guide for Cuba and they don't have boat pump outs there either. They say that your not supposed to discharge in the...

We were in B.C. late this past summer. I noticed that a lot of marinas did not have any pump out stations available. We did pay to use them when they were available. It seems funny that they would ban porta potties when all of that boats that cruise up into Desolation sound have very limited or...

It was Leading Edge and now it's Bleeding edge; Wow! I have a 12" Garmin multifunction chart plotter to display fuel use age and gallons left on board, Radar, sonar, and a backup nav chart for redundancy. The boat came with a complete Garmin suit of electronics. I too use Coastal Explorer on a...

DeLorme inReach operates on the Iridium satellite network - the only network that spans the entire globe, offering 100% coverage anywhere on earth. These communicators are strictly limited to the stock on hand. When they are gone, they are gone! Check out all the specifications and get...

The old saying is the customer is always right says it all. But from the business owners perspective they think the customer is always right but not always right for them. I think face time indicates real seriousness. In your case I would try to find a dealer that sells Mercury's along with...

I slid this type on to the forward half of our 2 X 4 bunks right over the carpet. Just sent screws in on the sides on the wooden bunks though the plastic slides. They had a boat on them from coast to coast and back. Work well still in good shape. D.D...

We carry both types so Coasties can't pin that on us. That's our deal. D.D.

>>> Defender 1st >>> This week's Defender 1st special is an AMAZING deal on inflatable PFDs. These are all of the Crewfit 35 vests currently left in the US. They come with all the standard features and provide 35 lbs of buoyancy when inflated. Defender is offering a choice of manual and...

A boat cover would seem to be an option. Keeps the sun from doing damage to the finishes and keeps everything dry. Just a thought. D.D.

We have used the same electric heater on our boats since 2009. Our boat spends most of the winter in the driveway covered before we slide down to the Fl. keys in Feb. We keep power to the boat via shore power while running the battery charger. We just keep the heater plugged into an outlet...

Just go to your ad and post a reply to it that states what the new price you want it to be. D.D.

I took the fuel line that runs to the engine to the engine off of the and blew air through the fuel valve taking notice of the switch positions and the air coming out of the port or starboard tank to crack the code. Our boat would only pull fuel from one tank from new as the lines were...

In the past the factory glued up some plywood strips and screwed the material on to them. D.D.

We used two dual purpose Deep Cycle group 27 Interstate Acid flooded batteries on our 23' Venture as setup by Wefings.. We had a manual four position battery switch as I wanted simple. On 1, On two, both, and off. We used those batteries for close to five years. We later changed to Cabela's AGM...

I like Klein tools and their screw drivers. The right sized screw driver depends on the blade thickness and width. Using something that sort of fits usually is the cause of the problem. I think a decent screw driver that will fit correctly and hold up for years you might not find the right one...

When we updated to the Smart Plug setup on our our previous boat we broke something on the plug end. They replaced it quickly without question. I have used the cord year round for about three years since then with no issues. The boat is in our driveway plugged in to shore power with a small...

In cases with running inlets use enough power to stay up on the back side of a waves but not too much as you don't want to go over the top and don't go slow enough to allow the wave following you to break on you and your boat. Throttle control plays a big part IMHO. Sometimes people will wait it...
