    How to post a boat for sale on home page

    My buddy has listed his 25 on the “For sale by owner” forum, but it doesn’t show up on the for sale section on the home page. Any advice on how to make this happen?

    Onboard dual bank charger and VSR issue

    Around a month ago installed a Noco Genius 2 bank charger, and it charged both house and start banks just fine. This morning I installed a new BEP VSR cluster, because the old one wasn’t paralleling, and now it is. Now only one bank is lit up on the Noco charger, the other has no lights...

    Victron 700 BMS troubleshooting help

    Just replaced my house batteries, and finally got around to trying to address the issue of faulty voltage readings on the display (3-4v). Every other function works perfectly. Victron has no factory service hotline, so I’ve googled it, and did everything suggested to no avail. What I’ve one so...

    Hurricane Isaias story from Southport NC

    I thought I had it bad when the storm sent my boat adrift from the lift which was set at 5’ above high tide. This guy’s story takes the cake: https://news.google.com/articles/CBMiam ... id=US%3Aen

    Hudson River Cruise, looking for advice

    My wife and I typically cruise the ICW. We’ve been as far up as Baltimore, and down as far as St. Augustine, and we’re thinking of hitting up some new grounds. We watched a dated show called “On The Waterways” narrated by Jason Robards, where they cruised over 25,000 miles. (Google it, it’s...

    I’m thinking of replacing my plotter w/ an 12.9“ IPad

    I like a bunch of apps that are available, and I think that I can get most of the things that my plotter gives me...like Navionics and NOAA’s radar, and view them simultaneously on a big split screen. At $1200 it costs less, with more functionality (on land and sea) The only thing I think I...

    Wish us luck

    At this time, we’re ground zero for Hurricane Florence, here in Oak Island NC. Our house is 200 yards from the beach. We are heading to our long anticipated European River Cruise on Wednesday, with the storm expected on Friday. Our boat is on the trailer in front of the house. Like I said, wish...

    Advice-Replacing trailer bunks

    I’ve replaced my bunks with new boards and attaching hardware, and plan to load the boats back on tomorrow. Although the height looks spot on, the bunk angle doesn’t seem right. I matched the angle to what I replaced, but it doesn’t look quite right. I’m thinking of slightly loosening the...

    Starbrite hull cleaner for car wheels?

    Just for the heck of it, after scrubbing till my knuckles were bleeding, I sprayed hull cleaner on the grimey aluminum wheels of my car. It was like magic it did so well. So well, in fact, that I’m wondering about the down side of using this routinely. Thoughts and advice appreciated

    Question:Relationshi between clock time & longitude/lati

    Calling Dr. Bob I noticed that the days are now getting longer by ~1 minute/day, and wondered why clocks and longitude/latitude both use minutes and seconds. I’m @ 38 degrees north, and we’re slightly longer than one minute I’m guessing that at the equator, it’s exactly one minute Am I...

    Strange overheating alarm on 2008 Honda 135

    If I suddenly take the RPMs down from cruising speed (4400rpm for me) to idle speed, I get an immediate overheat alarm. I shut down and restart, and go on my merry way. It's happened twice now. Engine has been flushed with Salt-Terminator after each use, new thermostats, newish impeller...

    Hurricane Irma prep questions

    We're in the potential landfall path of Irma with our 25 on the trailer. It's loaded and ready to take us inland if required. My wife is worried that 100mph winds will flip the boat and trailer over with us inside. I don't think it's likely, but would like your thoughts

    CO monitor issues

    I'm getting an alarm from my monitor when it's out of the water at home on the trailer. My batteries are fully charged, so I don't think that's the issue. I thought it could be the butane canister leaking, so I removed it, I know that butane isn't CO, but anyway. The alarm still goes off...

    Prop suggestions for a CD25 with a Honda 135

    I don't think I'm getting the economy I see others getting, and would like opinions from the group. I'm currently running a 14*14 (at the suggestion of a local CD dealer). With two people aboard, fully fueled and watered, I'm weighing in at ~8,400 pounds. Most of my time is running the ICW I...

    Is anyone familiar with Charleston SC?

    We're trailering down for a few days, and already have a slip reserved at City Dock. Can't seem to find any info on Google. Does anyone know where there's a ramp that allows a few nights of trailer/truck parking?

    What am I forgetting about? Raw/Fresh water washdown

    I'm thinking about putting a 3-way valve (with a check valve) on the suction side of my existing wash down pump, and be able to draw fresh or raw as desired. It seems too easy, what am I missing? I know it will draw a lot of fresh, but I won't use it that much

    Raymarine EV-100 and need for rudder position indicator

    I've had my AP for over a year, and it's just not trustworthy. The boat will occasionally head hard off to port (10-15 degrees) and finally respond and come back on track. The indicator on the display shows a hard turn to starboard, but there's no movement at the engine. My initial...
