I know some of you guys know things so I'm going to ask your opinion. Would you be scared of a Yamaha 115hp motor, on a 2012 boat, that has been stored since new in a high and dry in SW Florida? It's only had the 100 hour service. I'm sure that was about 7 years ago. It currently has 212 hours...

My God-daughter just called and said she'll be in Key West, in December, and asked me to bring my boat and meet her there. I've put in in Ft Lauderdale and gone down to Key West, and back, before but this time I want to put in much closer to Key West. Any ideas? Thanks!

I’ve usually just relied on the MPG the computer tells me (always about 2.75ish average) but this time I filled up, did 220 miles, and then filled up. The computer said I burned 77 gallons but I was only able to put 65 gallons in it at the end of the trip. If it’s correct I’m getting 3.23...

I just back from a nice 18 day cruise of SW Florida. I put in in St Petersburg and went down to Ft Myers and back. I really do love it down there. The first morning as I was leaving St Pete I was boarded by the Coast Guard for an inspection. I had an inspection done at my marina and had a 2019...

About 3 year ago my fridge quit working on my 25 Cruiser. I was on vacation and I came here and asked for advice. Immediately I got a simple answer on how to fix the problem. Take ALL power off the fridge including battery and let it sit for 60 seconds and then power it back on. I unplugged it...

Very impressed. https://www.cheknews.ca/jeanne-socrates ... ElOvAHu01I

One of my oldest friends just called me. He just bought a 36 foot sailboat in Ft Lauderdale and moved it to a mooring ball, in Miami, this past weekend. He didn't have time to replace all the lines. Tropical Storm Gordon paid them a visit and the boat broke free from the mooring. No one was on...

I'm heading back from Pensacola Beach, FL to Blue Water Bay Marina about 50ish miles and I notice my fuel gauge showing empty. I added enough fuel to make it there and back, I thought. I'm still getting used to the boat. Fuel gauge shows empty but computer shows 32.9 gallons. The computer has...

Is it just me or is Active Captain not as user friendly? It won't show me the but one review even when I click on "show all".

The father-in-law of a lady I work with apparently drown yesterday (on a local lake) at 3:30 pm but they have not recovered the body yet. He was on a float with his girlfriend and swam for shore but may have had a heart attack (or something) as she saw him struggle then go under. She was unable...

Fridge is only a year and a half old. Light is on but it's not cold. Any ideas on a quick fix? I'm 100 miles from my home port, in Destin, on Mobile Bay. I'll be leaving in 2 days to head back home.

1,720 foot tall wave in 1958. Biggest wave every recorded. Just don't think about this when you're up there :shock: :D lol https://geology.com/records/biggest-tsunami.shtml

The 200 Yamaha pairs very nicely with the 25 C-Dory Cruiser. 21 mph (I usually have it on kts but switched over for the pic) at 7 gph is 3 mph. That is a very beautiful thing! This pic was heading west.

Is this stuff real? https://youtu.be/888wQhRcmjQ

I got a good deal on my GPS/Radar so I bought it online w/o realizing I wanted it to be bigger. Any ideas on what I can do now? My eyes are too old for this size screen! lol

I love cruising in the summer but it can be HOT in the south. Fall and winter cruising to me now is much more enjoyable than summer. If all goes right I'll be able to do another month or so this December in South Florida. Not sure if I'll tow the boat from Destin or just jump in and see how far...

So I just got down to Fort Myers, for two weeks on my first big trip with the new boat, and I noticed the pressured cold water to the cabin sink is leaking. It looks like the plastic piece is stripped as you can see from the photo and the odd angle. I took it off and put new plumbers tape and...

I just had a tint guy look at my 25 Cruiser. He said that he would not be able to do a good job and declined. He's been tinting for 25 years. Worried about the soft rubber around the windows and the tight grove on the side sliding windows. He said he'd have to cut the tint short and short around...

My next-door neighbor is a furniture builder and he built two really nice shelves for my 25. One for the cabinet under the sink and the other in the cabinet on the port side. Now, he's scared about mounting them. He thought about glue but does not think the glue will hold because of the...
