I have a "Zodi" instant hot water shower that can use lake water on the swim platform or in the cockpit. A relatively cheap, simple and portable solution. Rob

The op did say he was wet sanding so I will assume he is looking for a solution to catching the runoff. A tarp might work if you raised the edges to make a dyke then a wet vac to clean out the pool. Not sure if he is looking to remove material down to the gel coat - or just to clean and rough up...

Congratulations - you have passed the first test! :mrgreen: You should fit in well as this site is home to the greatest group of well mannered, kind and generous guys and gals on the internet. I believe a post or 2 in my early years may have ruffled a few feathers but a long time member was...

I agree with ssobol - check another shop. These guys have ways of measuring and calculating angles, etc. that are very precise and quick. An experienced canvass worker should be able to do it. They could even mock up a frame from cheap electrical conduit(or) to get the geometry nailed down then...

Not just words in a sales brochure - simply put - what it is. A beautiful example of a seaworthy double ender. Hopefully somebody will appreciate and use it. Rob

Nice boat albeit larger than either the CD25 or the RF246. With its beam of over 10' you would have to give towing some consideration. Rob

Sorry to hear this. An amazing couple that were an inspiration to many on this site and I'm sure to many who met them on their travels as well. Rob

Happy New Year Pat, Patty, and all :hot :hot Rob

Not me - not enough hair left to dry :mrgreen: - but the way I read pcg's comment was that it could be used to "dry things out" - perhaps even electronic equipment. Most of us small boat owners have experienced things getting wet at inopportune times - at anchor or on a cruise. Here's to...

I suspect this is one of the reasons that a "Class T" - fast blow fuse is recommended for an inverter - especially on a 12v system where the amps are much higher than with a higher voltage - 24, 36, 48, etc. Most of the off grid systems that I am more familiar with use the higher voltage...

Bob, Marie and all - Merry Christmas and best wishes for a safe and prosperous New Year. Regards, Rob

For coffee I used a SS camp style perc on a butane burner for years but the grounds are a bit of a pain on a boat. Have switched to a single serve Keurig machine which works good on my 750 watt inverter. A bit more expensive per cup but it keeps the grounds contained and you only heat the exact...

Colby, I agree with Thataway - quality is best. You don't need another anchor - guys have said that here re. cheap generators which is why you see most using the honda exclusively. His setup using an invertor/charger is ideal if starting from scratch but I imagine you already have a charger...

Welcome aboard Rob

Hi Tug, Never had my plug get loose but got tired of water getting in so started wrapping it with teflon tape and bilge now stays dry. If it is quality bronze it may be ok but a brass plug in a brass fitting with roughly machined threads will feel tight before the pipe threads insert far enough...

Some doesn't sound like a lot and added sounds like you just did this so I doubt it is the problem but too much dielectric grease(being an insulator) can lead to an increase in resistance. Ideally a bare metal to metal connection is best then sealed with grease or heat shrink with the glue that...

Looks like a Ranger Tug. I have an album of the R23 here - http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_ ... _album.php Rob

Thanks John for putting together this excellent instructive guide to locking. It should be archived here somewhere for members to find easily in the future. Don't think there is a forum specifically for locking. I live near the Trent Severn and have spent about 6 weeks on it but I always go...

Thanks Colby for all the beautiful pictures! Rob
