Thanks. I am getting ready to pull mine to bring it to the shop and was brainstorming how to lift it out of there. That sounds like the plan.

What do you all do to keep your cabins clean and fresh? What techniques? What products? What do you use for the eisenglass? What do you use for the combing pads? I am trying to learn some new stuff to keep my rig looking new.

See, the people of THT told you that those Etechs would cause problems! All kidding aside, I hope no one was hurt and that it is fixable.

That's awesome. I have never fished for marlin, but it is on my to-do list for this season. We get sailfish in close (10-20 miles) mid-summer, but usually you have to ride out 65 or so miles from Wilmington to really target sails and white marlin. Going after the blues is gonna tack on an extra...

That's awesome. How far out do you have to run for them down there?

Hah! I already told him it may come to that if they don't let the barbers open on May 1. He'd much rather me buzz it than try my hand at a haircut! He was already overdue for one when this started, and his hair grows like a weed!

I took the boys out for some essential recreation yesterday evening. You can see by looking at the boat in the background that we observed social distancing! We fished for about an hour and got these two on a doubleheader. It was the little one's first saltwater fish! Side note: looking at...

Man, that looks awesome. It's amazing what a new enclosure like that will do to make a boat look years newer. That is on the short list of things I am going to do to mine.

Congrats! Catch 'em up and enjoy the new rig!

Oh man, if I could get out that much, I would be all over that. Unfortunately, if I get out once a month, I am pretty happy. Skunk- you are fishing my home waters. Before the Army brought me to Carolina, I was a born and raised Monmouth County, Jersey boy!

I towed a 222 from South of Tampa to North Carolina with my GMC Canyon without issue (from the truck at least). Your Tundra will have no problem at all.

Took the Splash out of the slip at zero-dark hundred on Sunday to let her eat. This was the first time I had her out in less than ideal conditions. We had some indication that things were not all good when we saw white water in the inlet, but she rolled on through. It was hard to tell how...

You are one of the rare guys who feels nervous about going "down" to a 330 Express! I was nervous about going to such a beast when I bought mine! Sounds like the same result for both of us though, it's a great boat! Fair winds, following seas, and tight lines. Welcome to the forum and enjoy...

I see your point. However, it happens when it is tied up to the dock.

I can't get anyone to answer the phone at Farryman. Nor have I gotten a response to my email. Anyone know why that might be?

I thought about the beat-your-head-against-the-wall factor with the mechanic fixing the wrong problem. He can, however, get it running under load at his shop, so we should be able to run it for a few hours to be sure. If Farryman doesn't have an easier answer, I think derigging and removing...

I tried Farryman yesterday, but there was no answer all day. Probably storm-related. I will try them again on Monday. I hadn't thought to call them. The mechanic and I had the Fischer rep down in Florida on the phone, and he couldn't give us an answer. Hopefully Farryman has something...

I posted earlier about an oil pressure issue with the Fischer Panda 4200 in my 2006 330 Express. My mechanic - who seems like a good guy - just sent me the following: Estimated labor to remove generator from boat and bring to shop. 8.0 Hrs. @ $ 95.00 = $ 760.00 Estimated labor to dissemble...

Yes, i changed the oil and the oil pressure sending unit to no avail before I called the mechanic. He confirmed the oil level was good and there was nothing in the oil.

The Fischer Panda 4200 4kw on my 2006 330 has been trouble since I got it a few months back. Long and short is that it starts up, runs for 15-20 minutes, the oil pressure light starts flickering, it runs for another 15-20 minutes, and then it shuts itself down. If you wait 20-30 minutes, you...
