I recommend u run right out and treat yourself to the current edition of Nigel Calders Boatowners Mechanical and Electrical Manual.

Second best resource is the search feature of this forum. Enjoy ur new boat!

You can buy the manual for your boat from Beacon. Highly recommended.

Re: Post Clever Boat Names

My wife likes to tool around in the 10' Apex rigid inflatable boat (RIB) that is mounted on the back of our tricab, says it adds a lot to the boating experience. Yet curiously, she nixed the name "Ribbed For Her Pleasure."

Re: 10.8M International Shore Power Question

Volt meters can break.

An easy check is to apply 120VAC directly to the suspect meter terminals.

Re: Thru Hull SV valves ( check )

Wow! I just moved my boat from fresh to saltwater. Any idea when the last time a human laid eyes inside that valve?

I'm guessing a routine exercising of the valves to ensure they work in an emergency was not part of the oil-checking exercise.....

Re: Hello - F36 Tri-Cabin owners in specific

Best benefit is the Captain now has company during the cruise and isn't abandoned by all the passengers, who are enjoying the cruise from the lounge area on the bow. I find that this area provides a separate circulation area for guests. At a party, do you always want everyone in ur face all the tim...

Re: New Lithium House Bank

Recommended. My fridge is 120V only. Having an inverter means that I can keep the fridge cold while underway without running the generator. Also useful for coffee in the a.m. as noted, without waking others on the boat or in the anchorage.

Re: Replacing Frost Plugs

They really are casting plugs or in my link core plugs. But they may save you in cold weather. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_plug Prowlersfish also hates it when people call the flat plate above an outboard prop an "anticavitation plate." Back to your plug. How rusted is it? Is it le...
