I am re-doing my head setup and decided to go with one Y-value on output of tank with one side going up to deck discharge and other side through a Jabsco Diaphram waste pump leading to a vented loop and then overboard. The reason I choose a Diaphram pump (this one happens to be electric) was that it...

Thanks Tim. No, the hazed area can be seen from about 20ft when boat is on water, especially if sun shines on hull. It is not bad, it is just a contrast to surrounding glossy paint. I hope to maintain 10ft test. To date, I have only washed boat with water (carefully) and once a year in the spring cl...

AWLGRIP Polish / Painting project
I have a 2x3 ft section on hull of my AWLGRIP'ed boat that has very very fine scraches on top surface of paint - fine enough you can just feel them with your hand and see them if you look very very closely - but the main symptom is the area is visibily dull - as compared to gloss of rest of hull. (T...

Yes, Thats her! Thanks! Nice picture! I have to tell you, I always get compliments on this royal blue / lime green combination - it is alittle bit different than most others - people admire it and remember it - especically with the lime green horse head decals, I put on both sides of hull on the fow...

Bob, The answer is no. The use of proprietray cartography - chart cartidges / CDs by GPS chartplotter vendors is a significant aspect of thier business model. It is very similiar to PC Printers - most of $ is made from sales of printer ink cartridges - you have to buy them from the printer manufactu...

Losing to the colts was bad enough - They should have kept it on the ground and not force the passing game - 5 turn overs - 7 point spread - they could have won the game. I think Belichek was out coached for the the first time I can remember. But to the Jets last weekend was pitiful - no excuse. But...

Robert, Thanks for your fine comments. My boat is now completely empty. I think I will seal areas that I am not currently working on with plastic sheeting. OK, on vaccum attachment on sander and benefits of hand sanding. I'll experiment and see what works out best for me. I was thinking of hand (blo...

Refinishing Interior Wood in Winter?
Greetings, One of my (many) outstanding projects is to refinish my interior Wood. I would like to do this over winter - altleast the preparation part - while all the stuff is off boat - and to get head start on spring. The wood is a typical mix of Teak and Veneered plywood. It is currently oiled wit...
