In my opinion, the Irish Queen is the most well-equipped Marinaut 215 built at the point of her manufacture

The storage capacity of our Marinaut is considerable. Keep in mind that we did not cut into the floor span for utilizing that space for storage. So everything you see here was neatly stowed in the standard spaces available. We emptied our boat for the season, and were stunned at how much...

Leatherback turtle spotted in Long Island Sound near Plum Gut

I look at this a little differently. The cost for boating goes under the budgetary category of discretionary income. Think about all the money we would save if in our lifetimes we never played golf, saw baseball games, watched movies or television, listened to the radio, read fiction novels...

I agree with you having used vinegar for over 6 years to remove mold. Chlorine can be too harsh.

Our boat is stored in a boat valet, inside storage facility. Here is what I do: 1) Gasoline treated with storage level blue stabil 2) Main engine is fogged. Oil, oil and gas filters changed. 3) Full canvasback left up, but zippers are left half zipped to promote air circulation 4) Tarp placed...

Overflow bottle -- who is it manufactured by? On my boat, I have to fill the fuel tanks very slowly and know what you are talking about regarding sound. As soon as the pitch changes, I stop filling the tank. If the tank is filled too rapidly, or to the top, the gas will slosh out of the vent...

Roger, While I don't know about whether or not the Marinaut fuel tanks are baffled, I do run into trouble if I overfill the tanks. Fuel pours out of the tank when or if it expands. I suspect that is true for most boats with vented fuel tanks. Rich

No, it does not. A common misconception is that a GFCI offers overload protection; it does not, unless it specifically offers overload protection along with ground fault capabilities. You are taking a chance without using appropriate overload protection. Also, the GFCI is better placed at the...

If the electrical cord is 15 amps, then you need a waterproof 15 amp breaker; 20 amp cords require a 20 amp breaker. The breaker, or waterproof fused link (on the hot side ) should be as close as possible to the 30 amp power source. I know some people may put breakers at the end of the cord...

I hear you, and there may be a way to efix an "L" brace that can be slid out of the way. Currently, the weight of the motor keeps my PVC pipe in place. I'm thinking about replacing the PVC with iron such that a rubberized yoke is braced against the engine, and the other end attaches to the...

Thank you! I'll be sure to let my wife Betty know, because she picked out the color. Betty was not interested in boating to the extent that I was, and now she is, because she made all the decisions on interior and exterior colors. She also gave a lot of feedback to Les Lampman on things such...

The Tohatsu 9.8 kicker is a sweet engine. With her push start, she starts first time, every time. And she got me home after I stupidly ran my lower unit over rocks. But a major problem with her occurred this year: her tilt stopper bracket bent on two occasions, preventing us from keeping the...
