    Question about poss. "foreign matter" in fuel tank

    I am with Jay. Don't worry about it. If it was indeed the size of a grain of rice, it will likely be in the filter when you change it. For reference, you likely have a 10-micron filter in your Racor: I don't think a grain of rice will have any chance of getting through there. Running a...

    12 Volt Water Heater

    Nominal capacity is measured at a 20-hr discharge rate - that's only about 5A for a 100Ah battery. If you take 30-40A out of this battery, it will not supply it for 100/40 hours, it will probably be less than 50% of that. Not to mention the damage if done often to such a small capacity...

    12 Volt Water Heater

    There's that pesky "physics" thing rearing its head again. Dangit! It just isn't going to happen. Heating a water tank at 12V is just not practical no matter how many different ways you carve up the thermodynamics problem. If you don't have a diesel with a heat exchanger, then the next...

    Raymarine ECI-100

    Looks like I'll be getting a new plotter :( :( :( :( :( Anyone every hook up a Raymarine ECI-100 to one of their plotters? Says it works with the Honda BF150. Would be neat not to have to buy the fuel monitor I was planning to install over the winter..... Experiences? Early-adopters?

    09/19 - 09/21 - 8th Annual NC gathering

    Thank you Erma and Ernie both for setting up the gathering and for the invitation!! We wished we could have stayed longer (and probably should have)! Getting down to Beaufort was no problem. The skies portended the remainder of our vacation/cruise, however.... We're back at Pamlico Beach...

    Moving back down in size - lets hear from you.

    I have had at least 12 boats from 12ft to 34ft, both power and sail. I agree with George - the size of the boat was absolutely inversely proportional to how much it got used.

    How install flush mounted threads into the cockpit sole

    Let me join in with the "all over the map" ideas! (no offense to anyone) How about some recessed pad eyes that you can use to tie it down to (and maybe a cooler, too)? http://www.fisheriessupply.com/accon-flush-mounted-tie-down Or here is one with removable threads that may make the...

    Elco Electric Outboards

    This seems really odd to me as an engineer. With electric motor propulsion and battery storage, efficiency is EVERYTHING. Why in the world would you design something that needs gears or other transmission methods to get from the motor to the prop? The Torqeedos have the motor at the prop...
