For what sounds like a small scrape or gouge, you could fill with some white tinted epoxy and then finish as I noted

I am a fairly skilled amateur furniture and auto paint refinisher. Strictly amatuer so take my ideas with a grain of salt. But anyway, couple ideas. I have very successfully used plastic scratch remover on all sorts of scuffs. One brand name is PlastiX, or something similar. You can use it...

I do not want to post a name here on the public forum, but if you have an possible names I will tell if 'my guy' shows up. My experience in the area (Cape Cod) a few years ago with the guy I used was not good. Essentially a waste of money. About all he did was check compression on a 340 hr...

My 2 cents....... I am on my 4th year in a 2013 Seafarer, 22 ft. We don't venture too far so its works for us. But here are a couple of things I would evaluate were I buying something else. The 226 is a so called walk around, the cabin is sufficient for storing my fishing gear and somehow...

FWIW......In my circle Yami's seem to be first choice, with everything else second.

Just an observation. I guess if you want to go boating with a 'docked' boat, you just got to decide it costs a lot. We have lots of time, retired, so we go out whenever the weather and seas cooperate on Cape Cod, Nantucket side. Last summer we put on about 125 hrs in 35 odd trips over the...

I think I got different, older (2013) display. Its got lots of options but to me the set up is not intuitive and not a touch screen, but arrows and select buttons

I have changed the generic forms of readouts but I haven't been able to find if the oil pressure can swap for the water pressure. I guess playing with it will wiat 'til spring. Wrapped up and put to bed now

I hope I can be concise...let's see. At the end of the season here on Cape Cod, one morning as we headed out I noticed the lower left indicator on my Command screen was not responding. My first thought was I thought it was the oil pressure. Not low, just the gauge with no pressure read out...

Seasick comments……as well as the hull shrinkage, there is always the issue of the Captain ‘bulking up’…….not saying that happens to everyone but I have experienced that phenomenon.

Thanks for the info, that will get into periodic checks

This morning when we went out the boat had been at a mooring over night with the motor up. The water in the harbor was smooth as a baby’s butt and no oil. (Not so much once we got to open water) But I suppose having sat overnight, the motor having been tilted up last night, any minor leaking...

Hows about a simple answer? Low fluid. But no one can find any sign of a leak. Ran the motor up-down half a dozen times, in the water, out of the water. No leaks on land, no visible oily film on water. Go figure. Seems the fliud had to have gone somewhere. I do not understand why the...

Well, the rash spread a bit and I don't think the diameter was close to two inches. But if you want another good story we can go back about 30 years when I chainsawed some not-yet-leafed-out poison ivy vines on a dead tree and not thinking. My rash got onto my wife's leg, doctor gave her...

Who wudda thought a question about rails could be soooooooo interesting? Here's an unrelated tid bit. My wife got a rash, had problems with it being brought under control, ended up with the zillion dot things on her back to test for allergies. Turns out she gets a pretty strong reaction to...

I remember grade school when we had to memorize those fractions and decimals. Not so much these days.

The pump and electrics always engage, but it took the jiggling to sort of free up a stuck something

The switch immediately engages the pump motor. No odd sounds, nice and smooth like it was working properly. Once the motor starts to tilt, smooth as a babys bottom. Up is never an issue. And once it moves, down, back up…..then down is immediate and no issue. This afternoon when we came...

Thanks for the replies. Got another input thinking the issue is valves in the 10 yr old system perhaps gunked up and sticking. Boats at a marina so not having maintenance access, asked them to looked at it. They’ve been accurate and fair with a couple other repairs. I’ll note what the...

When the motor is down, only observation is with motor running, yesterday for example. Out for 3-4 hours, shut down at a mooring, hit switch for ‘up’, immediate response. Only delay seems to be ‘down’ after its been up and off for more than ……….. a while….by that I mean an hour , maybe...
