Wait a minute the service company told me the paper were better than the K&N cause too many times the washable K&N would clog due to too much oil sprayed on them after washing. What type of gauges on the Racor? I've been told that the paper air filters would make it for a season is that not ...

Cockpit panel replacement

I have taken out the 3 lower cover panels in the back of the cockpit. New blower motor for the generator and rebuild new tackle storage compartments etc. But my question is about the panel material that was used for the covers. The doors are attached to the panel and over the years the panels have c...

I had issues with being able to pee which is what brought the issue to be diagnosed. My surgeon told me that when I get over the surgery that my issues with flow would be solved. In his words you'll be able to pee like a 20 yr old and dribble like a 2 yr old. I feel very fortunate to have had the su...

I'm sure there are worse things to hear but the words " you have Cancer" is a phrase that still makes your whole life stop for a moment!! I was diagnosed with a PSA of 2 which is very low but still I heard that word. The Dr. told me that the biopsy was 12 small snips and would be over in a...

My spray shields were cracked and one corner broken off. I had them cut by a company in Corpus he charged me 180.00 a piece. I purchased a 1 foot section of 1" round starboard from him and made new supports as the original ones were cracked and discolored.

Thanks for the help guys I am not as concerned with it now but I will still follow it up and hook them up just for my own satisfaction. Asher have you been out much I haven't seen another of your fishing reports. I was watching for some do's and don'ts and the Port A way!

So Asher you don't run the blower for the generator either, I would have thought having the blowers running would help keep the warm air moving especially while you are sitting still fishing?

Thanks Bill where are the main engine blowers mounted? I have vent hose hanging by the engines but it appears they may have been removed when the Cummins were installed! When I turn on the blower switch on the right breaker panel the unit blows out of the vent on the stbrd at the stern. So the vent ...

So someone as referred to earlier may have altered the wiring and or switches in my boat?? Wow I bet that's a first for you guys to hear. Joe you say that both ...
