I'm damned jealous of both the trip and the party. Have a lot of fun for all of us workin' stiffs!!

An ol' timer told me to put a salt shaker sized dose of cayenne pepper in a pint of marine paint and put it on the gear. Apparently, those lil' bastards don't like sucking on a chili pepper all day long. But it doesn't stick very well when you run the boat....nothing does. If she's going to sit for ...

We're all pretty smart and frugal peeps - that's how we ended up with ol' Trojans in the first place. Y'all know I toyed with the idea of repowering and found remans here and there for good prices. With new fuel tanks and other things installed when I renovated my F-36, and a few knowledgable friend...

Short in a 5 year old wiring harness?
So, I'm running along the ICW on Sunday. Nice afternoon, got her at 3000 rpm and about 19mph. All of a sudden the starboard engine just totally quits. No cough, no deceleration....just off completely. When that happens it almost feels like you hit something because it slows so fast. Anyway, I checke...

I did the holes from the bottom because: 1. It leaves the upper layers (the part you will see) intact. 2. The upper layers are thicker and will hold the contour better once the balsa is removed. The bottom layer is very thin and almost floppy once you dig the balsa out. I would drill, dig out, let ...

My CO2 detectors go off at 1/3 of the times I go out. The cabin door is always open and they tend to go off in those pesky manatee/go slow zones. I should open a hatch or window but always forget. I read somewhere that if you put a screw in your exhaust flapper at 2 o'clock on the port side and 10 o...

This is potentially a dumb comment...but on a previous boat the engines were starving for fuel and wouldn't go to a high RPM. I spent hours trying to figure it out from the fuel filters forward. I finally called my mechanic who found the vent, which was twisted into a loop, had water in the loop so ...

I'd rather deal with rot than a cracked 671 head anyday. The best tool for coring rot, IMHO, is a coin! (besides all us tools who've had to fix it before) I know it sounds imprecise, but if you tap all over the cored area and one area sounds much different than the rest, you can pretty much guarante...

half-inch teak and holly plywood glued down on the original plywood floor. Pretty easy - just don't mess up the lines! Pick is before I added 5 coats of poly which you have to do so it won't get ruined. http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg120/juiceclark/Salon.jpg Galley is a box of Bellawood teak L...
