Post Eisenglass


Recently had the rear bridge window replaced using strataglass. Installer said window could be cleaned with a weak vinegar & water mixture. Does a great job. Just wondering if there's a long term effect from the vinegar.



Also wondering if I can use it on the eisenglass panels I recently had replaced (Different installer - he gave me the fish look when I asked). I currently use Klear to See which works fine.



What do you think about the vinegar solution and what do you use on your glass?

Post One of those dockings


Hi. Ever have one of those dockings that you hope no one filming? Coming back from a great leisure day on the water , coming back into our slip, the wind keep changing direction. Not a pretty sight, 2nd attempt was a success. I have to learn to be more aggressive when the wind wants to take you. Fly Bridges are great but are wind catchers for sure, they can make you look like an newbie in a hurry. Embarrassing, but, not damage, no foul.

Post Help for slip buddy


Hello All, I know nothing about diesel engines. This may be nothing. A friend of mine took his sailboat out yesterday for the first time this season. Small diesel started up fine, ran for 30 min. getting out of marina and into the bay. Then, just like that, the engine revved up to a high RPM. He could not use throttle to reduce RPM, could not get on/off switch to stop the engine, no reaction to anything he tried. He finally disconnected the battery to get it to stop. Any thoughts? It is pr ...

Post Camper Canvas


Well the camper canvas is back on our Carver. Took two days to reinstall. Started yesterday in real nice weather was going to finish it in the morning but it was pouring rain and blowing like an SOB. Finished it this afternoon. Might still be a little tweaking for fit. We had removed it five years ago to trailer the boat home. Will mark things this time so we'll know where things go. One step closer to getting on the water. Jim

Post Bonding Wire


I was in the bilge on my 390CPMY and saw the green bonding wire from the starboard shaft collar broken off, and a wire to the plate with 2 studs also broken from the wire that comes down the hull heading for the stern. Am I correct in that I neeed to reconnect the shaft collar wire back to the main. Line and also one to that plate? The plate has 2 studs, but only had one terminal used for a green bonding wire.

Post How can I go digital on A/C that doesn’t cost half as much as a new A/C?


I currently have a 2006 marinair 18K running off my old 3 knobs. My original marinair 16K a/c died and this was included with the boat. But it didn’t come with any of the I/O stuff. Quick google hits looks like almost $750 for the kit. I refuse to pay almost half the cost of a brand new 16K...there’s got to be something cheaper..can anyone help?

Post Vacuflush switch on power board


Hey all! having an issue...I've been trying to diagnose vacuflush not functioning...realized today the switch on power center for turning system circuit on is shutting itself off...is that equivalent to blowing a breaker? The vacuflush works while switch is on, but the switch will only stay in the on position for between 20 seconds to a minute (time varies). Trying to figure out if there is likely a problem with toilet, or if a warn out switch is possible? Am I correct in thinking these switche ...
