Sounds great... I may make a trip down the sound before then as well. Are transient moorings at your marina available usually?

Hi, Your rendezvous sounds fun!!! :egrin::egrin: When were you thinking?

Congrats!!! Hi Marcus, Congats on the next step of your process. If you haven't already lined up a surveyor, there is a great one I have used that is Ericson/Olson knowledgable. His name is Mark Corke and his number is: 860 304 4654. Are you keeping your new boat at Dutch Harbor for the...

SD Diver Hi, When I had my boat in SD until last year, I used a guy named Jose for almost 2 years. He is reliable, professional and does a great job. He is very knowledgable; even recommended and changed zincs when needed. Good price point, too. His number is +1-858-483-0767 Good luck...

Mason's.....Nice Boats with a "Nice" price tag These boats are known to be great cruising boats. The original 43's were a little tender but I think they improved upon that on the 44. Built in Taiwan. I think they displace around 28,000 lbs and are definitely blue water boats with decent...

Norcold Unit Hi Keith, I recently installed the Norcold Norcolder SCQTT-4407 unit in my E34T. It is the perfect size for the smaller iceboxes in the original 70's boats. It is a great unit that runs both on 12vdc and 110vac and the switch over is automatic when the system senses a change in...

Awlgrip Shine Hi David, Thanks for your reply and take on Awlgrip. You confirmed what I had always heard. My shine is not that faded nor oxidized. I'll give the Allcare a shot. Thanks again,

Awlgrip?? Hi Everyone, Lot's of great info on non Awlgrip paint posted here.... interesting to hear of all the different products and techniques. Does anyone have any info/experience on bringing Awlgrip finish back??? I do know Awlgrip sells their own brand of cleaner/polish but wanted to know...

cables Bob, Glad you found some info in your paperwork. Yes, it does seem that with new batteries and one that is not charging fully, cables would be a great place to start. Don't you love these ongoing boat mysteries??? Good luck...:egrin:

Check out the posts from Maine Sail and Stu Jackson...... Hi Bob, I posted an inquiry about batteries a couple weeks ago and got some great advice and links to more great advice from Maine Sail and Stu Jackson on this site. Here is a clip from Lifeline about some battery stuff which may...

Great folks at Waterside Hi Frank,Thanks for the great lead!!! Great folks there. Looks like I've found a place for a few weeks. Best Regards,

Hamoron or Newport news... Hi Craig,Thanks for your reply. Your info about timing is really close to what I planned. Finding a transient slip near Hampton or Newport News is what I am seeking as I will be in town for a few weeks most likely. Any suggestions? I'll definitely let you know as my...

Charging Hi Stu, Thanks for your reply. I re read my original post and I guess I wasn't clear. I always begin with a fully charged bank. I am also diligent about recharging. Understanding longer life and load capacity at its best, my question was when..... this forum is always so helpful...

Interstate AGM's Hi, Thanks for your reply. I replaced the West Marine AGM's I had with Interstate Marine series 27's. Your info is useful.

Hello Everyone, I recently replaced my 2 house batteries on my E34T with Series 27 AGM's. My starting battery which is always isolated or if needed, joined to the house bank is also a series 27 AGM. For those of you who have had success in using AGM's, how far do you allow the voltage to...
