This is a full scale airplane - you won't believe your eyes! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRCbkBfdBrQ

I guess it depends on the application, but I assure you there are hundreds of boats in Florida with Romex wiring. Mostly older boats. The reason is, on older boats the owners can't afford to re-wire the whole boat with stranded tinned wire, so Romex is widely used for re-wiring and adding...

Ok, Joe looks you're gonna be one of those few boat owners who does not need an Alarm system, it appears you have the matter in hand! By the way, do you hire out for charters? :smiled

There ain't much that will last on a boat in 10-30 years, so the wire job will just be one of many, many, other problems that arrive with time The only thing I'm really worried about breaking in the next 10-30 years is me! :lol:

Nancy I was just thinking the other day about doing a few door panels - I know Loew's sells the Poly in spray cans as well but was not sure how the final product would look. How did your come out OK? Thanks

Well, I knew I would get beat up on this Post - but no matter how you twist it, bend it, or distort it, the fact remains that there is absolutely nothing wrong with “Generic Posting” on different Forum. If anything, this practice might be best represented as a lack of understanding, of the...

Generic Posting on this Forum! Look, I understand I’m a Newbie here, and shouldn’t make waves, but I feel I have to speak up about a problem I have with the Moderators deleting posts. I’m not a spammer – and I’m selling anything, I’m only here to learn, make friends, and contribute to the...

I'm sure a few of the 21 owners will answer your question - however, both semi and full displacement hulls as a rule do not handle very well in a following seas. Depending on your speed with regard to the following sea, it will require moderate to all out work to keep her on track.

As I mentioned, I got two different answers regarding if the wood was teak oiled or stained. I also did the small teak trips that support the curtains and on both sides I could not get the Poly to work at all. I had to sand them down and re-stain them to get them right again. Does anyone know...

I know it's not for everyone, but I like the high gloss look of woodwork. It's simple, cheap and for the most part, pretty rewarding to see the final product. All it takes is a quart of Polyurethane a good brush, sandpaper and some time. I'm not sure if Ranger uses a stain on the wood or some...

Warren, Please don't let my comments distract you from visiting the Florida Keys, it a super place to visit and of course one of the best boating locations in the US. However, but if you get around Miami you on your own - Miami is a sewer of low-life's, and one of the many reasons I moved out...

Transceiver Alarm System for your Sea Dory I posted recently this alarm thread on the Ranger forum and thought it would be equally interesting to Sea Dory owners as well since you guys trailer your boats more than we do and park them in remote locations. No matter where your boat is, at home...

I don't think you'll have any problem at that distance - as I mentioned, I park my bike outside malls and hotels etc. and never had any problems yet. Where it really pays off is when your bike (or boat) is parked outside the hotel room where seldom you can see it. The remote will tell you at...

Joe, I feel the way you do however, keep in mind, the alarm system is bullet-proof, if someone doesn't get in the boat, it won't go off. I've been using them for years on my bikes. The system is a deterrent more than anything else. The alarm is at such a pitch that it almost immobilizes you if...

Both the alarms offer a built in programmable 125dB Programmable Multi-Tone siren. The alarm does not trigger from noise it uses a 3-Stage Perimeter Sensor. The perimeter sensor provides a remote activated microwave sensor that detects motion in mass around the the sensor unit. The sensor is...

Transceiver Alarm System for your boat No matter where your boat is, at home, at the dock, if your like me you worry every time you lose direct sight of your pride and joy. With this in mind, I started looking at security systems for my boat. After I exhausted myself looking, I came up with a...

Don't get me wrong I'm a firm believer in the ABYC guidelines and even have their electrical PDF on my computer. I'm just saying this isn't a perfect world, and neither is our boats or the components within. The ABYC is a guideline, many captains choose to do things the way they have in the...

So everyone is aware - the A.B.Y.C. (American Boat & Yacht Council) writes standards based on a consensus of government, industry and private sectors. Standards compliance is voluntary and has no enforcement powers or mechanism of enforcement.

What do you really think is going to happen to the wire, there’s one piece of Romex wire that is sheathed with a jacket and secured to the panel, the wires are wrapped around a screw head. The other end goes directly to a fireproof sealed receptacle box and the wires are wrapped around screw...

Well, all I can say is; myself and thousands of other guys, are using Romex wiring in boats with plenty of success. I’ve installed Heart 2-4K inverters with full wiring in almost every one of my boats when I lived in Florida, and never had a cable fail – or a connection open up in the past 30...
