    34 PC Canvas pieces

    For sale. Entertaining any reasonable offers. Not looking for a home run on selling these, just don't want to throw them out given their condition, and the fact that someone could possibly use some or all of them. Prefer to sell as a set. We have a new custom enclosure, and the Admiral...

    34 PC A/C Question

    Any late model PC owners notice the bus voltage drop when your air-conditioning compressor engages? Mine is dropping about 15 V. I don't remember seeing it drop that much in the past, although I haven't watched all that closely. My air-conditioning is cooling fine, but I am having a minor...

    Joaquin!

    According to the latest spaghetti models, things aren't looking too good for the Virginia Beach team. Watching carefully, as the Mid-Atlantic and northward are potentially in for quite a bad ride.

    Labor Day weekend Fun. NOT....

    So we blast off this morning for a planned 4 day Labor Day w/e trip, and here's how it went.... Early start, Admiral still in the rack. She gets up as were leaving. Water was flat, so I cast off, with intent on just going at hull speed until she got ready for the day. Ran the genset for her...

    Air conditioning

    A few months back, someone posted a link to a video of a new and improved replacement air conditioning unit, promising the use of less electricity, quieter operation, corrosion proof pan, swivel blower duct, ect.... I can't seem to find it....here, or on the internet at large. Anybody have...

    Thunderbird factory from the air

    Well, my iPad doesn't make much of a long distance camera, but still, I thought it was cool to have the factory in sight from above. We were about 20 miles north, looking south towards the town of Decatur. The highway between Fort Wayne and Decatur is visible, and the factory is the big white...

    Arch Mounted Raymarine GPS issue

    Just saved myself about $400, and thought I would pass on this "trick"...... My Raymarine classic E-series plotter started taking 20 minutes or so to find its current location when initially powered up. So I called Raymarine tech support, who told me that my Raystar 125 arch mounted GPS was...

    Router question

    Can I get some intel from someone in the know about a router for the boat? I'm getting tired of my wifi hotspot performance. It's fine in the middle of the day, but during rush hour, or at night, it's pretty slow due to the bandwidth being consumed. That said, I'm curious how a router would...

    Lead-Acid vs. AGM Battery Info

    Lots of info on this forum concerning batteries, and after reading some of the threads, the process merely opened more questions. So I set out this morning to get some closure on some of the options by going right to the source(s). Here's the story: The beginning of this season brought failure...

    If any of you guys are feelin' the spirit, you can pitch in for one of these for me this Christmas. ;) The second link puts it to use in the boating world. Should one show up in my Christmas stocking, I promise I would put it to good use next boating season, and post the videos here. ;D...

    The Best Formula Advertising/Marketing Move Ever

    How cool would it be if Formula, and/or the local Formula dealer, delivered the guy who got his boat shot up last week in Boston a brand new 240SS on a trailer to replace his multiple bullet ridden 22 foot Seahawk? Imagine the press this move would get. Wouldn't those advertising budget dollars...

    Anybody use Spotify?

    You guys probably have never heard about this, but I'm a musician. That said, the tunes on the boat are high on the list for me. In saying this, I recently was turned on to the music service "Spotify", and I absolutely LOVE it. I figure that it, and services like it, will make the CD akin to...

    I have been dealing with an issue with my canvas lately, which led me to talking with the manufacturers. There are two companies involved, Haartz Inc, and Glen Raven Inc. One is the Sunbrella manufacturer, and one is the Seamark (inside vinyl lining) producer and bonder/extruder of the two...

    Tighten those screws guys.....and gals.

    Well, I learned a valuable lesson yesterday. I went to fill up with fuel, and one of the gas caps broke loose, and went in the water. :o If you have never taken the time to look closely, the cap (two pieces...an inner and outer) is held onto the cable-spring retainer with a single screw. It...

    Scott 7268, after reading your commentary in another thread about the "hanger rash" you obtained at your new facility, I thought I would share what I had to deal with last week.... There was some painting going on at the marina I was at a week ago, and on a windy day, the painter decided to...
