Re: Why would I want an underwater light ?

Those hot tub lights aren't made to stand up against life on the water. They are made for set conditions, namely...hot water. I've installed that same light into my hottub to replace the incandescence that were there before. They lasted longer than that particular tub did. Its Simple enough to make ...

Re: Why would I want an underwater light ?

I'm considering installing these onto my boat in two different locations. http://tinyurl.com/326vwqf . I want them for a couple reasons. The light while at anchor around the boat and the fish they attract ; although I don't fish...I do enjoy to see them in the wild. I like this model because it is L...

Re: What Might YOU think is important to have on board ..

when I'm working on the boat, which has been a lot lately, I take note of the most used tools. Above the required coast guard requirements I suggest the following. wire, duct tape, a bottle of 5200, hammer and nails. :D On a more serious note. I have always needed pliers, common sockets sizes, stiff...

My blue hull moves so quick it seems slow to the untrained eye. :D

Re: BWY

Name any company and it wouldn't be complete without someone that complains...unfortunately, I'm not that guy. I do look for reasons. I guess if I had to pick something, I'd have to say that BWY's doesn't have entire hulls on their parts list. There... I said it. :D

Re: WHITE OR BLUE?

I'm just saying that white is the color of the virgin, the less experienced of the female species...so it is with the hull of the :macm: . It's a matter of the hull not coming into it's own..fully developing and lacking the seasoned appetite required to produce a smoother and more settled motion. Mo...

It's time to get a new trailer when driving down I-95, the wheels on the trailer are going faster down the road than you are. :D

Re: Final Jeopardy

This last weekend, AT&T failed to inform me that my Blackberry bold was unable to swim, much less tread water or even float. Even with all the options...shame on them. I was impressed with the option it has to jump off my belt, taking the holder along with it. Already on a new phone, used online...

Re: WHITE OR BLUE?

Unbeknownst to the general population of :macm: owners, mostly because of the ensuing rioting by the white hull owners, is the fact that the blue pigmentation is heavier and forces the hull of the boat to sit more calm and even keeled in the water. Notice the blue :macm: in the Gale Force videos use...

Re: Clogged rear drain hole

So I'll agree with "kmclemore"...but my active mind leads to the next thought: The through hull drain leads to a "T" connector. This connects the drain from the galley and from the engine well. Should the galley drain hole be always plugged? Seems to me that that pipe could produ...
