Hi Mark, I used a chemical paint remover and it worked well. I don’t recall which product I used. Practical Sailor has done thorough comparison tests of the various products. There are

Soda blasting is available in the Chesapeake, if not urgent and if you are heading south in the near future. I had a previous boat soda blasted a few years ago in Deale Maryland. Thanks, Doug

Danny, That is just what I suggested to Diane this morning when I realized they are too big to fit a suitcase. Just roll them in,with a rope handle. Can you still check something thru the size of a

Charles, Based on pics Bill sent they appear too big to fit in a large suitcase. I may contact the airline and see if we rolled them into the ticket counter if we could check them thru. Years ago, I

Hi Gary and Pat, You don't have to put your baggage in suitcases. Just wrap it well and if necessary for handling create a handle. Saves weight too. How many surf boards have you seen as baggage.

Hello Patrick, I am refitting and Annapolis MD and need new rub rails as well... I could help defray the cost of your trip if you can handle another suitcase. Not joking... :) At this rate, we should

On this issue. Had a long conversation with Rob at Costal CLimate. As usual, a very knowledgeable guy. His thoughts. Flojets are super reliable, AS long as they aren't drawing a lot of current, i.e.

You can buy a soda blaster attachment cheaply enough & soda. I got mine for under 300. Aras 1988 Sharki #163

I have owned my Super Maramu since she was launched in 2003. Amel applied a hard bottom paint before launch in 2003 but since then I have only used ablative paint. The layer is now thick and a bit

Pat, I'll rummage through my paperwork and see if I can find the way-bill for the scupper shipment and see if it has a weight (standby). My guess is it would take two large suitcases for the scupper

Hi Pat, I took my davits as baggage on a flight from NZ to Ft Lauderdale so I wouldn't think the bumper would be a problem. It doesn't need to be in a suitcase, I just wrapped the dismantled

Thanks, Joerg, another viable option. I see they are not waterproof. I guess that isn't a problem? More expensive than the two Sena headsets that are wAter resistant. Kent

Thanks Jamie. Yes I have been following this thread about alternatives and wait in anticipation! I have not heard about anyone successfully refurbishing the flowjet. Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi -

I have had the Eartec headsets for one season and they work great - no issues. A friend of mine has had them for 3 years - again, no issues. The only draw back is that you have to remove the

Lots of anticipation for this. Thanks Jamie. Porter A54-152 IBIS Excuse the errors. Sent from my IPhone Www.fouribis.com

Paul, as you have probably read in another long thread about this very subject, you are not alone. Several of us are trying to come with a viable solution that we can all use to deal with these

Danny, I was only sort of joking when I wrote back to Gary,a couple of hours ago, but since then we are really considering a vacation to France . We could save enough on shipping to pay for airfare

Thanks Davi, +1 for Sena! Kent Robertson S/V Kristy karkauai@... USA cell: 828-234-6819 Hey there, I don't use a headset, but did for a decade while motorbiking. Sena never let me down. I used the

Hey there, I don't use a headset, but did for a decade while motorbiking. Sena never let me down. I used the SMH10s for nonstop music and talking and phone calls for most of that decade, the same

In my experience, there has to be nothing wrong to create this condition. I’ve had this happen on my boat when I get back after many months away. Or if the tank was run very low. Pump up the
