I think I used Sikaflex 291.

NY?

Or Maryland.....

I don't know enough about the composite backing plates, but a 'solid' backing plate isn't advisable for a thru-hull. You want it to give. You want it to conform to the shape of the two surfaces. The marine ply will last for 35 years. That's probably long enough......

Heat gun and leverage..... Gigantic aluminum pipe wrench(s). Two person job, with one in the boat and one underneath. You might have to pull the deck if the access hatches aren't big enough.Replace with FULL FLOW flanged seacocks. Bed in 3M 4200 (not 5200) or Sikaflex 291. If it was my boat, I would...

I bet JP Dalik knows that boat. Let me see if I can get hold of him.

Add a diesel bunk heater. I have the D2. In fact, I have one in my camper and another on the boat.

Folks, Over the last couple of months, the website has been inundated with membership requests from bad actors. Most of the requests are easy for me to spot and I just delete them. Occasionally, one will be slightly more clever and manage to get through. I ban them as quickly as I can and delete the...

No special operators license needed (in the US). Just don't use those frequencies unless you're an airplane or having an emergency.

mike ohlstein

If you're off shore and find yourself in the water, it's also not a terrible idea to carry a handheld that can tune to frequencies used by aircraft. If you're anywhere near an airport and you keep the local approach and departure frequencies stored in the radio, you'll have a pretty good chance of b...

How far are you from an executive airport? I want to have a boat there and be able to fly down for weekends.

It is with great sadness that I must report the passing of Doc Ely...... aka the happiest man on planet earth. Those who knew Doc know that he was truly one of the good guys. A regular at the UVI's, and two B31 owner, who loved fine shotguns and a good martini. Tight lines and fair seas, Doc. https:...

I've been thinking about a condo in the Carolinas, but maybe this makes more sense.

Guess I'll go look at it.

Come on now..... At least I give people one chance. Bruce just tosses guys. Bottom line is that everyone here is here to help. A little trash talk is encouraged, but make it personal and you're gone.

Judging by 1. how fast it happened 2. that one engine died and 3. the fact that it took them by surprise, I'd guess that hard backing down caused an exhaust hose connection to come undone....right after it hydrolocked the engine.

A 5 or 6 inch diameter hole can let a shit ton of water in in no time.

I don't like the sound of that..........

Wow. What a hack, and by that I obviously mean crook.

Other than a little road rash......VERY COOL!!!!

It was in use. Something had rolled under the couch and the flashlight was on. Very scary.

Two of those black stripes are seams which are screwed down to the stringers and then covered with Lifecaulk and sanded flush. So obviously they'll line up with the appropriate stringers. Probably the ones just on either side of the fuel tank. You need to dig out the black caulk and disassemble. Pro...

I had one go nuclear in a flashlight. 3.2 volts, I think. Totally filled the house with acrid smoke and was probably 800 degrees.

I believe that a number of us got a ride on a 51 with the stabilizer at the boat show a few years ago. Spectacular ride. Personally, if I was going to spend that kind of money, I might be inclined to find an old 54 and redo it stem to stern (and use the saved $1,000,000 for fuel)....but it's hard to...

$750,000 ?

mike ohlstein

I believe that you should have a separate return for each engine.

Your genset might need a fuel pump (or maybe not). Remember not to pump fuel though a filter. Always use suction to pass fuel through a filter. Pumping tends to emulsify fuel and water, making the separator less efficient.
