Clara Mae

Do you keep your boat in water or on a trailer most of the time? Personally, I like the traditional marine type unit, however, one disadvantage is the boat must be in the water for it to work.

Hi Scott. You are going to have to educate me some. Is the molded interior you are referring to, on a CD-25 for example, be the dash and berth area? What would be the alternative?

After a nearly seven-year love affair, beloved working girl Clara Mae has been properly decommissioned and sold. She has towed disabled yachts many times her size, completed countless offshore expeditions, and, has carried us thousands of miles up and down the eastern seaboard, throughout the...

New Owners Craig and Jan

You said it Mike. What were we thinking!

Thanks to all that called to inquire about the sale, but, we just can't do it. Guess we will hang on to her for now... maybe next year.

Sunrise at Morris Island Light House, Charleston SC

Hi Nick. I am sure I'll be going to the boat show if I am here. Are you bringing your boat? Lots of good water between here and St Helena Island.

Thanks Larry. I was unaware of this and our post is a big help.

I would certianly go with the life jacket but would not leave the boat until it was headed to the bottom or was on the shore.

You would think after five years of successfully drilling, cutting, mounting and the like I would know how thick every panel from stem to stern is. So, of course, while replacing a simple light fixture over the galley that came with slightly longer screws, I drilled right on through to God's...

Cool! I am sure we will run into each other soon.

Byrdman, If you plan to spend most of your time site seeing Charleston, then the Charleston Maritime Center would be your best location. City, Ashley, and Cooper River Marina's are but a short cab ride to the outer peninsula where the market, battery, and other historical attractions are. If...

What would you like to know?

Leather Back about 6 miles off of Charleston

I read that Bob and if I were putting together a new boat, a combiner is likely what I would use. But the Clara Mae has done great getting 5 years out of her original four 2-year batteries and always with power to spare. I have routinely run the fridge off of the two-battery bank for four...

Mine is indeed bad and I have a replacement on order. Thanks for your help Joe. Michael

I know a battery isolator contains diodes that permit current to flow in one direction only. Power from an alternator and/or shore charger supplied to the power-in stud of the battery isolator flows to each of the power-out studs connected to each battery bank. Current cannot flow back from one...
