What the throwables are really for, is to have a beverage platform while swimming near the boat. The typical life jacket is much more comfortable if worn upside-down, like a diaper. This makes the reach to the brewski much easier. I hope this helps.

When Nanci and I made the curtains, we wanted to be able to leave them in place, for a homier feel. We used the snap tape made by Recmar, (from WM), and made tracks to fit the CD. Very happy with the results.

Hey Pat, how is the composting head working out? Does your boat also have the holding tank under the cockpit, and if so, have you found a use for it?

There is an old Japanese proverb that goes; "A man whose house is finished, dies." I think the same thing goes for boats.

The biggest problem is that you are connecting the batteries all the time by having the emergency parellel switch on. It is there for an emergency, ie:when the start battery is dead. Leave it off, and the vsr will connect the batteries when the start battery is fully charged and allow the...

The first prop that I wanted to try was the propulse. What stopped me was the recommendation on the box that it not be used for boats over, I think, 3000 pounds. That didn't make sense to me, as they had fitment to 300 HP. I thought I was done testing, but now I see a new prop in my future...

Fred, what problems in particilar, are you having? Have you had the problem of vibration, in gear, at idle? I'm also on my 4th prop, having tried; Solas 14x19 3 blade SS-- Way overpropped, moderate vibration at idle. Power Tech 15x15 4blade SS-- Great performance across the RPM's, but also...

Big ? for me, what's the headroom and bunk length? It would seem to me that the headroom would have to be much less than the CD25(?)

Which boat do you have? I've done like most of the others and have thrown out the factory icebox that came under the helm seat. Unlike others, I replaced it with a norcold refrigerator. It beats the heck out of soggy food mixed in with your choice of beverages. When on the hook, I'll use 30...

There are 2 vents as well on the 25. This past weekend when I filled-up, ($2.59/g) the opposite side vent spit out at about 30 gal from full. Slowed the delivery down and got the rest in.

Here's the write-up about the gathering from "The Mariner" June 24th issue. Sorry about the quality, I don't have a scanner.

Here's a link to a 12 volt Air cond. http://www.dcbreeze.com/ Jeff from the factory was asked to consider it and dismissed it for all the right reasons. It pulls 48 Amps running, and the site admits that it would take 6 group 31's to power it for 8 hours. That and the fact that 5000 btu's...

THis is the charger that the factory uses. http://www.foreandaftmarine.com/85-2611.htm I also installed this unit on my last boat, and it worked flawlessly, even throughout winter lay-up, when I didn't bother to remove the batteries. Just keep it plugged in, and forget about it, the batteries...

The enclosure in the photo is made of Azek plastic lumber and mounted under the starboard aft seat just forward of the house battery. All of the wiring enters from the top left corner (in pic), so that I can pull a couple of screws and swing the whole box out of the way for battery access. The...

Pete, keep an eye on that Sterlite box from WallyWorld. I have a bunch of those on my service truck for storage, and also a bunch made by Rubbermaid. They look like the same kind of plastic, but almost all of the Sterlite have cracked or shattered and almost none of the Rubbermaid. They're all...

This is the auto charge relay that I have installed. http://www.honda-marine.com/acc.aspx# (scroll down to Misc. parts & accesories). It's about $130 and includes the battery distribution cluster. Using it is a no-brainer as it eliminates thinking about switch positions. The only problem is...
