Thanks John, it is a great group, maybe no other like it!

My boat has been sold. c

This has been sold

Turns out I had a lightening strike last fall while on the hard and it took out my electronics. It took awhile to sort out what was not working and get insurance to pony up but I've reduced the price to $45,000. Looking for offers before I end up buying electronics that a buyer doesn't want...

I'm offering my Hydrovane for sale apart from my boat for $3,500 - new it would be $5917+Shipping. I put an ad on cruisersforum, but I used it on my Morgan 383 so it is set up correctly for the 382-4 models and only needs some pads built and holes drilled...

I have an old hydraulic AutoNav under the seat and it works pretty well but will get overwhelmed by rudder pressure in out of balance conditions. So will my Hydrovane. I have been on boats where that did not occur, but I think those boats were balanced well. I also had a Raymarine on another...

I have an interstate group 27 starting battery and have never had a problem starting. I rewired a few years ago so all my charge sources (dockside, solar, balmer from engine) are hardwired for charging through an automatic charging relay and my engine starter is wired only to the starting...

Does the linseed oil keep it slightly tacky for the grip?

John (and Lee, and everyone)- Lots of things in the works for us, moving to Pensacola Florida, retirement. I'm not done sailing and am not working very hard to sell the boat, it just hasn't been something I've gotten to for over a year and half. So, rather than let it sit I've listed it for...

I have the plywood floor version of what I think is the 210 model from w marine, inflatable. It fits upside down just forward of the mast pointing forward, leaving just enough room to walk past it on the side decks and room at the mast to work hslyards and winches.

I will sell the Hyrovane separately unless it becomes an issue in the sale of the boat.

After much wavering back and forth, I've listed my boat for sale with a broker. It can be found on Yachtworld here: Sjokolade

Best of luck Jeff,and thanks for all your help on my trip. My boat is now listed, too.

Yes all is well, I'm happy with the sensor.

Mine is on a platform aft of the port lazarette opening and just port of centerline. Very hard to get to, but totally out of the way.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, Jim and Bonnie, and everyone else on this site! Make 2018 a banner year for sailing!

Hahaha. Great question and I don't know the answer really, but my guess would be that if you left the brackets on deck after mounting the pole on the mast after a while you would either be glad you did or very annoyed by the stubbed toes. I will say I've never wished I could put my pole on...

Darn, I'm currently in the cold tundra of Minnesota. Back in FL on the 5th. Let me know when you come back.

We used two light weight mummy bags. Or one when I'm alone. When not zipped up they form a Vee. We used a queen fitted on the bottom with the extra tucked in. And no top sheet. Each person has their own top, so no fighting over blankets. We have medium weight for cold. Wash as needed...

It should come out easily so no silicone or other goo required. It could be a bad o-ring, a replacement that was a different manufacturer but old thru-hull". I know, this is not helpful ☺️. Lee, I never heard of changing it out each trip,but it makes a lot of sense in Florida. In MN we never...
