A guy I work with is a part-time commercial boat owner. He keeps his boat down on the Oregon coast at Depo Bay. He told me about this site. Pretty useful site for learning some useful things.

Mark, Thanks for passing that along. It looks like a very useful place to spend some time.

good site and also sell the highly recommended butyl tape that Sunbeam states is better than other types

 

[AK Angler]

I concur ... that Bed-It butyl tape is great stuff.

Ran across that site when I was building the IB Bartender, and gut checked his recommendations with experienced boat builders. All concurred: reliable, up to date advice. I never found anything to dispute that. Very well illustrated, and revised as needed.

A real gem.

Glad someone else likes it. I starting reading it at work and realized I was "wasting" time...

LOL, same here, I clicked on the link this afternoon while at work, and next thing I knew I had spent an hour reading about deep cycle batteries, not getting any work done. Good stuff!

I believe that this is a site that Sunbeam has plugged in the past.

One of the best features of the website is his sobering photo essay on mooring failures:

Andy, you are right. That should be required reading. I was just going to peek but couldn't quit.

I did that, before Sunbeam's warning. Aaaagh! Eyes need replacement!
