As macerators are generally optional equipment, I still think that the intended destination of the boat determines whether or not the manufacturer installs that equipment. None of my boats, including my current one - 1995 vintage - have ever had any

My parents purchased a new 1972 VW Westfalia with the pop-top. The pop-top bunk was my bed. They sold it before I got my license... I saw the VW pop-top camper by Winnebago at the Moscone Car Show the last year that they made it. I wanted one

Graham, Saturday morning I lubricated both the upper and lower pivot points with silicone like you suggested. It didn't seem to help much. I went ahead and launched as usual figuring I would just live with the squeak until off season. Well, by t

C4W, I added 150' of chain to my all chain rode and used the kind of splice link that you posted the link to. If you buy the repair link in the same size as your regular chain links it goes through the windlass just like a regular chain link. I sug

Thanks guys! I'm familiar with Castrol products, I have them all--at work, I forgot to bring them to try them... I'm also familiar with Shark hide... This boat is an albatross around my neck at the moment, my friend is supposed to buy it, but some

That 2bbl should work fine, might even be a direct replacment or at least it 'should fit' since you already have a Holley. Most Ford 2bbls are Autolite, and I'm sure Holley made their marine carb in '77 to fit Ford's existing manifold...

I own a stringer drive. It's not all that bad... One thing you must do with the stringer drive is know it's limitations and how to operate it properly. OMC made the Stringer drive for 30 years...so parts are available...and they are capable of giving

It does, you can't see it, but you can feel it. It slipped when I was putting it back on and is MIA at the moment.

You may not have room or not, but if you have a spare cupholder that can be removed, you might make a plate (I used Corian) to fit over the cupholder for a no-hole-drilled installation. I did that on my last boat: Front: Rear: Drawing o

Panbo is the other blog I read frequently. But JackRabbitMarine was really getting into stocking NMEA2000 gear. Unfortunate, as that was probably the best resource.
