Thanks much Ripple. How long should I allow for the circle? Is one day too ambitious in these short daylight hours? And as far as safety goes, I wasn't worried about the water, but on taking small arm fire from the shore.

I'm planning a trip to New York Harbor over the Halloween weekend to see the sights by boat. Putting-in and staying on the Jersey side at Liberty Landing Marina. I'm planning on circumnavigating Manhattan Island on Saturday. Has anyone done this trip? Are the Harlem and East Rivers safe? Anyone...

My Chevy has a separate fuse for the trailer signal lights. Same for Ford?

Here's a link to the outfit I get foam from. They have many different densities and qualities. http://www.rochfordsupply.com/product_l ... dID_E_3310 Also read through the foam buyers guide. It explains what the numbers mean.

Sorry about being off topic, but the fuel tank picture shows it well. What say you-all about the practice of using brass fittings in an aluminum tank? I've read that this is a big no-no from a galvanic standpoint.

Motorboating magazine this month had a mention about the new Ranger 29 coming soon. Anyone else heard anything about it? My guess is it would be $200 large?

I'm sorry to say that we won't be able to attend as planned. Have a great time everyone, and we'll try again next year. Brady & Nanci

Yes Bob, you're right. The tops are not cored, and the brow is not cored, but the little flat spot between them, right above the windshield, is.

Just when you think you have all the core penetrations under control, another one pops up. Last week I was replacing the horn, which had failed after a long road trip in winter slush/salt conditions. The existing horn wiring and mounting required that I remove the all-around anchor light...

This is the one I used. http://www.outdoorsuperstore.com/product.asp?prod=456187&456187 It's a split boot that overlaps, but doesn't actually seal at the split. I guess you could glue it if you felt the need. The size and screw hole locations are the same as OEM.

There's one big problem leaving it in the fill position. With a scoop thru-hull fitting, water will be forced through the toilet at cruise speed, filling the holding tank, then overflowing the toilet. I've done this many times by forgetting to close the toilet valve. That's why there is a...

Are you sure that you have the voltage sensing wire on the "primary" battery? It would seem that if it were backwards, that it would respond as you describe.

I just did a little surfing to find if I could get new pilot light bulbs for the switches. The switches are made by Carling switch. They are the Contura IV switches in my boat. They make about a bazillion different configurations of the Contura switches, but it looks like the different...

Matt, you can see the tracks I made in the picture above. They are made of Azek plastic lumber, cheap and easy to work. Just takes several passes on a table saw. Caulked to the hull with hot melt glue in spots to hold it till the caulk sets. Don't forget the masking tape. There's a few more...

SeaKits makes a damage control kit that sounds like what you're looking for. http://www.seakits.com/pressrelease_11012006.php

The way I fixed this problem was to install a loop in the hose between the pump and the a/c unit. At the top of the loop, I installed a 3-way valve. In the "bleed" position, the pump was connected to a 3 foot piece of clear hose that I could suck water through the pump. Once I see water...

Hi Tom. No, that's not me. I'm on the Crosswicks Creek in Bordentown, but if you're heading North on I-295 and look to the right from the bridge, you can see me.

Count us "in" for the gathering again this year. Always a great time. Look for the Minnow, it'll be the one with the "For Sale" sign on it.

Not sure how that emo got in the post and I can't edit it. The Formica is 932-58.

I had thought about other materials, like granite, (too heavy and expensive) corian (too ugly and expensive), decragard (too hard to get and fragile for a countertop), so went with Formica. Antique white (932-58) is a real good match. I had thought about going with a different color, maybe...
