    Hurricane Harvey

    Good Luck to all who are in the path of this storm. Hopefully all our Texas members have made things secure and are in a safe place to wait out the storm. We have a friend in Port A near Corpus who evacuated Thursday. She drove to Pleasanton which normally would take 2 hours and took 6! Stay Safe!

    Photobucket

    Looks like if you want to use them for third party hosting (use them to post pics here), you must now pay a monthly subscription fee. I don't use it often enough to justify. That's the end of that...

    Furuno GPS Antenna

    I had problems losing satellite signal intermittently which worsened this week. I poked around checking connections and such but suspected the puck antenna. My AP then gave up and would not even power up. I did not know if the 2 issues were related or not but I bit the bullet and bought a new...

    Iosso Cleaner

    Just a heads up and shout out to Iosso mold and mildew cleaner. It was recommended to me by a local canvas guy I had re-sew some zippers on my drop canvas. No chlorine or bleach so it wont harm fabric or stitching. It's a powder you mix with water and soak the area you wish to clean. I haven't...

    Ain't that a kick in the pants!

    I waited until March 12th after some glorious days in the 70's and the long range forecast never once mentioning the "S" word to unwrap the boat thinking to myself, "Finally, this year I can get a jump on spring commissioning." BUT NO! Here we go... 6" to 12" of heavy, wet crap coming Sunday...

    New England Boat Show... Who's going?

    I will most likely go on Tuesday evening. I'm told it is a lot less crowded than on the second Saturday which I normally go. Not in the market but it's nice to get a chance to be around that "new boat smell" during mid winter especially as it's snowing out right now. 2 months til splash day...

    Outrigger rigging upgrade

    Now that the holidays are behind, I can get down to my list of things to do when we start to thaw around here in a few months. This boat is my first boat with Outriggers, Lee Sidewinders with fixed poles. I only got to experiment with them twice and saw there needs to be some improvements. They...

    Bennett Trim Tab Help

    Before the boat gets splashed in the spring, I think I will need some troubleshooting help from Bennett on this one so I need to know what size I have on My Marlin. No literature came with the boat. I've heard Bennett has top notch tech support. I need to know: Are they sized by the actual...

    Hardtop Drop Curtains

    I sometimes like to remove the 3 drop curtains from the boat rather than roll them up and it's a chore getting the first one off. It was the same on my last boat. If any of you do the same, is there a trick or sequence of removal that makes it easier? The gap in the middle of the center curtain...

    Ship's Bell

    Massachusetts boat law still says Notice the "AND" pertaining to boats 26 feet and longer requiring a bell. I just dropped 125 bucks at West Marine for a damn bell! Really? Talk about an antiquated law! I know that I may never be asked if boarded but you never know...

    Marlin V-Berth Table

    I want to remove this table base to access the area underneath and my boat is about 100 miles away. What tools will I need? Is it screwed, bolted? I think the teak floor is screwed to the access panel but not sure about the table base. Thanks.

    Coast Guard Documentation Regs

    The Coast Guard regs say . The area on the transom in front of the Motors isn't exactly "clearly visible". Also, I know some separate the name and hailing port lettering. The name on the hull sides and the hailing port on the transom. Any thoughts or first hand experience with this? Has anyone...
