Hey folks, quick question regarding solar panels etc. I bought a 5W SunForce trickle charger solar panel and the instructions (yes, I read them!) say to disconnect from the battery before starting engine. I did not buy the 7W charging monitor etc. I am assuming that this is to prevent damage...

Hi all, as a background I replaced the plexi in my Bomar hatch when I bought the boat as it was cracked. I also installed a solar vent (not the issue here). I have had to re-bed the plexi 3(?) times now as the sealant hasn't seemed to take. I have tried a variety of sealants and/or glues (this...

Hey folks, need to replace my prop on my Yamaha 130 hp engine serial: L1L314427R. Anyone have any suggestions? I have a stainless "19K" on it now but the bushing is going.... I have emailed getaprop.com in Anacortes WA and Wholesale Marine but would rather deal with a "known" supplier...

Hey folks, I am going to apologize in advance-I searched the site for info but there is SO much info (too much??) for me to sift through! I saw a post some time ago about an opening center window for a 22' Cruiser and someone found a cheaper/better supplier than Diamond Seaglaze......just can't...

I am contemplating moving my bilge to the area infront of the door. Luna Sea doesn't have enough weight in the stern to get the water back there..... Does anyone know how much space is under the deck infront of the door? thinking about 'glassing in a sump there with a cover for the pump...

Hey all, I have an old 22' Cruiser with the original anchor and nav light mast; looking to replace the old bulbs with LEDs. Has anyone done this already and happen to know what the replacement bulb spec would be? I was going to replace the whole shebang but can't find a suitable LED replacement...

Hi All, I am looking for a Navigation Lighting Mast to accommodate my navigation lights, anchor lights and a spotlight (GoLite), anyone have such a beast or seen one anywhere? I want to get the GoLite up a little higher than cabin height...... I don't have a radar arch nor do I need or want...

Hey all, after the first season of boating with my 22' I am surprised at how things have turned out; what I spent a lot of time on and never use and what I really need. For example, I spent a lot of time sorting out the dinette table and have used it once! I find I like it better down and use...

Hey all, This is directed to my fellow 22 cruisers; I am trying to get some guidance on trimming my boat properly with engine and Bennett trim tabs. I understand every boat is different and I have to experiment a bit. So, the general question is do I use both engine and trim tabs or one over...

So, I finally got everything sorted at the boat yard on Friday; new thruhull fittings and fresh coat of bottom paint and go back out of the camber and my steering was seized! The ONE thing that I hadn't checked when I bought the boat or when I was refurbing it. Luckily there was a guy at the...

So, I have been getting a lot of suggestions from folks regarding removing my flushing marine toilet on my boat. Personally I don't like having thru-hull fittings and seacocks but have had them on other (larger) boats with no issues. My question is IF I remove it, what to replace it with? I...

Hey all, Just installed my spanky Bennett 120 sport trim tabs today and when fixing the reservoir to the transom, it is not vertical at all....(obviously sitting at the same angle as the transom). Is this OK or do I need to shim it to be more vertical???? Thanks! Peter

I've seen a number of great posts here on my search for info on this topic. I don't have clam shell drains in my anchor locker (yet) but I think I was suffering from water intrusion through some unsealed deck hardware. Just seems to be so much of it!! As the boat is "new to me" I am also...

Hi folks, Has anyone successfully done away with the dinette leg in favor of a hinge mounted support bolted onto the side of the boat between the table clips? Seriously considering an attempt (have a few ideas), but I don't feel like reinventing the wheel with so many savvy C-Brats out...

Hey all, Got some great LED lights from these folks: http://www.easternmarineoutlet.com 4 of these: http://www.easternmarineoutlet.com/Whit ... -50023850/ Can`t beat the price and they are BRIGHT! Putting one over the galley, one over the helm, one over the dinette and one in the v-berth...
