I have a Side Power Thruster SE100, 8HP, 209Lbs on my 38. It works great but sure uses a ton of amps. A relay in the joy stick burned out after 3 years and...
Andy, No comment from you on thrusters!? :-) OK...I have thick skin, so here goes... Money down the old drain! Especially in this economy. Now I'll need to...
Well this is coming from a two screw guy but here in Southern California, many marinas are converting to double loaded slips. So, instead of maybe rubbing...
Rick, With 29 years in a single screw 30' power boat and nine years in this boat, I haven't hit anything yet. (Knock on wood!) With this boat it was either...
I'm laying low on this one. The problem is, that since I'm now working as a charter skipper with ABC Charters in Anacortes, WA., I've had the opportunity to...
Ok, I'm still a diesel newbe after a year but I have been trying to learn. In going through the owners manual on my Lehman SP275's it states that if the...
I have been having a bad feeling that my Port engine starts losing power after heating up. Mostly I cruise at 8 - 10 knots around the harbor. So last weekend...
Well I've been driving this boat for only a year. I guess 28 years from now I'll be sawdust and no longer contributing to global warming so I don't ever ...
I believe that the article you read is correct in that diesel engines do not require (nor do they appreciate) being run at less than optimum temperature. A...
we run a single screw after having had a double screw and am much happier with the single. The reason is that I have a lot less windage on this boat and thus...

Peter, Interesting solution... I get a similar effect when single handing the boat, by tying the cleat ends of the bow and stern lines on both sides of the...
At the expense of beating a dead horse; some may wish to delete this and go on with life. Upon my last arrival at our slip, I had aboard the owner of the...
Peter: Thanks so much for your comment on the "midship line". I think you just moved me ahead light years in my docking dilemma! Clarence De Barrows ...
Van: Thanks for that. I think I'll give your system a try also as I keep my long lines aboard when away from the dock too. Clarence ... From: Jim Van...
Clarence, One more thought on working the boat in tight quarters... I purchased a Brady knob at a Pep Boys auto store for less than $10 some years ago after I...
Uhhh...we used to call them "Brodie" knobs. As in "lets spin the steering wheel real fast, jump on the gas and do a brodie". <G> I never did that, of course,...
