    Single Vs. Twin Engine Pro/Com

    It happens when you are trying to troll and even one motor at idle is .5 mph to fast and you are not catching a dam thing. If you dont troll then no problem. The other time is when you hit something in the water and take out both props or lower units. Now you are dead in the water. If you have...

    Wallas stove replacement options

    The wallas and the chines versions are identical... they just ripped off the wallas/espar heaters. ( not talking about the stove top heater but the same applies) Both are mostly built for inclosed motor vehicles. That is why the instructions state to use out side air for combustion. NOT because...

    Wallas stove replacement options

    Why? I will tell you why all the instructions sa to do so. These units are built for car and trucks that have far better sealing then a boat. Its to not remove all the oxygen from an inclosed space. Our boats are far to porous for that to be a concern. You gain far more benefit of removing...

    Wallas stove replacement options

    another great thing about the espar style heater is they remove moister from the cabin. There are two air intakes. One for air you will heat and one for the burner. If you draw the burner air from the floor of the cab and not from the out side as the instructions say to, You will pick up all the...

    A Professional Maritime Trainer's Rant

    While we are talking about it the test should be more boat or boat type specific. I have not and most likely will never own or run a sail boat. Spending time learning about what line goes where is a waste of my time. In a motor boat going 40mph thier is no use for paper chart as a in time...

    A Professional Maritime Trainer's Rant

    Do you know how to set a MOB point on your MFD and know how to read the lat and long of that to tell CC? Can you enter a lat/long into your MFD when coast guard repeats a Mayday???

    A Professional Maritime Trainer's Rant

    Well he is right about most of it if not all of it. No one used paper charts unless they also own sundial, sextant and a lead and line for depth. Hey its cool to know how but useless on a day to day basics. How many of you can plot a track on you MFD? Change the depth alarms from 2 ft to 20 ft...
