I think I may have given away my 30 amp adapters with my last boat, but a 125V 30 amp male to a 20 amp female household plug would have partially solved my problem last weekend at a neighboring Club. Not ideal, I know, nobody likes household cords going to boats. A 125V 30 amp Male to 125/250V F

Stus-List Insurance

Just got this in a newsletter from the local broker, it does a little more Plain 'Splainin on the subject of boat insurance. << At the YBAAU, we had an excellent presentation by Bob Peck of Triton Marine Insurance. If you currently own a boat, you almost certainly noticed a sizable increase in you

No, but I am about to replace my blower, B/C it is too noisy - People can hear it from the dock. In this case, I found an axial fan, like a large computer muffin fan, and I am going to put it in the place of the existing one somehow, with some hose adapters from Supplyhouse.com. Then I am just goin

My mast drains out a half inch tube from the mast. In the winter I have a vinyl hose that goes out through a transducer hole and keeps the bilge dry. I have a felt wick inside that tube to pull it uphill where need be. In the summer it drains into a plastic pan, and I try to get down there after h

I always save from one year to the next. Some store better than others, but this Odyssey Triton holds up well, and does not settle out very fast. Also, BTW, this is the best antifouling I have ever used. A fact not lost on Pettit, as they are pretty proud of it.($400 a gallon!) Defender put it on

Second the Hose extension. I bought one for my 39, and never put it on. Sorry Rich. I did leave it with the boat. Every time I thought of doing it, it was in the water, and I would freak out when I thought of crossthreading that hose all the way into that convoluted space, which I couldn't even se

AwlGrip I believe is a polyisocyanate. Awlcraft is a polyurethane. Think diamonds vs. Granite. I also need to do some touch up on AwlGrip, and I intend to just touch it up with Awlgrip and wet-sand and buff. If I can ever figure out which color it is. Bill Coleman On Thu, Apr 20, 2023 at 11:38
