Our local liquidator was selling these Salton Ice Makers cheap...and they use less than 1000 watts so they are perfect for the boat.
Is there a real good ice bucket?
And....can I keep the thing plugged in even while I'm underway?
Does anyone have any knowledge about this. I am hoping to use it to check the fuel consumption between the port and starboard engines.
As I have mentioned before, the port used twice the fuel as the port and after much work, valve job etc., it remained. Then I swapped carbs and it got a lot...
I have a Carver with twin 4.3 Mercruisers and my port engine uses more gas than the starboard one.
Last year I switched carbs and that made them a little closer, but I don't now if it meant that the starboard was using more than it was previous. I also had a valve job done on the port engine and...
I've been thinking about various places to keep my Honda Generator, and one of the spots is on my swim platform. It sits about 6" above the water line so I don't think it would get wet.
And could I leave it there running while at dock?
What do you think?
My ex-brother-in-law, who is a dear friend is fighting Lyme disease. This has been going on for over 10 years now and he's losing the battle. He is in what is called third stage.
He lives in BC and the government is not helping him at all, in fact they dispute the fact that he has this...
I am trying to find out exactly where Yamaha boats, like the 212ss, are made. Are they are stamped "Made in USA", or are they assembled in the USA.
The difference comes only if I try to import one into Canada. Not only will I pay 13% HST, but I could also be liable for a 6% Japanese trade duty...
How do you test your VHF radio?
I always wonder if mine is working and what strength signal I am sending. I can hear lots of chatter, but who can hear me and where is a mystery.
Both the Canadian & US Coast Guards will not do radio checks, they say it uses up too much air time, which I agree...
Last summer I had an explosion from excess fumes entering the bilge from a leaky fuel sensor and have decided to install one this spring.
Are there any recommended brands or other recommendations about where to install it or settings etc.
Thanks
I just had a long conversation with the lady that "cleans" our house every 2 weeks. I have put it in quotes because she does an awful job, but my wife will not fire her.
She is in her mid 60's, on a government pension and her husband is in a nursing home with Alzheimer's. She goes every day to...
I can't seem to get the bench seat from the bridge in my 1990 2767 Santego to come free. I've found 2 bolts in the top of the aft cabin, but still the seat is as though it is still bolted down, and I can't see any other bolts.
Any idea why it is still secure, or is there another bolt which I...
I've been looking into this method of hot water. There is just the 2 of use living here and I don't see the economy of keeping 40 gallons of hot water at the ready. In checking about it seems that the best way is natural gas, but we don't have it. The electric will only raise the temperature...
I have 2 daughters and my wife has 2 daughters. They are in the same age group, 2 at 24 and 2 at 27/28. In the last year we've been asked for a $50,000 loan, to co-sign on a bank loan to buy a house, plus the never ending borrowing...............ARGH!!!
We just gave my wife's youngest one of our...
Since I injured my back in 2000 I've done nothing but get fat. I've put on over 40 lbs and have tried all kinds of diets to see if I could start losing, but nothing has worked. I went to the doctor's before Christmas and asked him for his opinion.
I have 3 damaged discs and on top of that I had...
So far twice this winter we have had a forecast for a few flurries. The first ended at 6" and now today the same forecast and so far it's about 6" and still coming down at a good rate.
Does anyone one know where to find the hour meter on a 1990 Carver Santego 2767. I looked and looked, but I can't see them anywhere.
Someone at a Christmas dinner said there are always hour meters on Carvers and they are usually in the bilge.
It is twin 4.3l Mercs...
I don't know if this is the correct place to post my question, but here goes.
What is the smallest diesel engine you can get in a 30-35 foot cruiser. Because of the size, I am guessing that there would need to be twins.
This is an option I'm looking into for when the time comes to move up to a...
Okay, who still has to go do some shopping, or did some today.
I had to go out and get 2 more little things, because when I put the stocking stuffers into my wife's stocking, it didn't look full.
Nothing worse than a half full stocking.....:(
TODAYS SMILE.
Why do we love children? ......
1) NUDITY
I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat...
Anyone have experience with this type of building?
I bought a 20' x 24' one last summer and plan to put it up this spring. The package I bought has a closed back and the front has a cut out for a standard garage door.
They sent me an instruction book, but I just looking to see if there's any...
