thing I really like about the Universal with the electric fuel pump in my current boat is those air bubbles will be purged by the system if the fuel pump is left on with the engine not running. Dave S/V Aries 1990 C&C 34+ New London, CT On Sep 28, 2021, at 8:47 AM, Matthew via

Is your friend certain of the cause? My Westerbeke also does not like to start after bouncing around in the big waves (especially following a knock-down). My diesel mechanic (Andy H) has been thinking about the cause for years. It is not a clogged filter problem in our case. Fortunately, I h

When I switched to Progressive this year, I was told that the underwriting department would review the application and decide if a survey was needed. After reviewing the application, they decided a survey was not needed. Matt Wolford 1976 C&C 42 Custom From: Glenn Henderson via CnC-List

That is not how my Progressive policy reads according to the agent. I specifically reviewed with her what happens if I’m dismasted and a replacement mast costs $30K. I have an agreed upon value of $50K on the boat. According to the agent, the mast will be replaced (minus the deductible, of co

That was why I left Boat US / GEICO in the first place - that whole reduced value to 20% baloney. I switched to Travelers, which had a good policy but dramatically increased its annual premium the last three years. As a result, I'm now with Progressive. I'm the kind of person who likes to fin

A friend of mine owns a 41 two slips down from me. We went out sailing at the same time a couple weeks ago, and he walked right by (to leeward). My 42 Custom is rated 84 (with R/F), and I believe the 41 is rated about 10 seconds faster. He was easily sailing that much faster with very little

I'm happy with my Nexus 2 masthead transducer. It is wired, although a wireless version is available. It is now a Garmin unit, as Garmin acquired Nexus several years ago. My original transducer was damaged during a knock-down, and Garmin had a replacement program that allowed me to turn in the d

That is not a safe assumption. We did extensive repairs to the core below the waterline on my Custom 42, including from the keel back and the keel forward. Arguably, water in these areas resulted from failing to isolate thru-hulls and the prop shaft strut. Two areas we did not consider, becau
