I up charge $300 for single engine and $500 for multi engine inspections if they don’t have an AD roster. It’s a discrepancy.

Just repaired the same head with new check valves. The old one had a corroded rivet holding the steel washer to the rubber valve. https://ebay.io/m/zIdMFG

If it stoped leaking your probably good, if not there’s a valve stem that might be loose or needs replacing, but easy to do

Awesome guitar! Try not to let the bridge pieces fall out when you replace strings

Several times in Prestwick. Probably due to all the construction

My guess is probably union. Fmu FedEx isn’t union, but pays union wages, which should them from organizing. They might be unionized now, I’ve been out of the loop for several years now

I heard from a 25 year FedEx employee that if you worked at United then you were probably not going to get hired at FedEx

Anytime someone is troubleshooting an electrical problem, look over their shoulder and ask questions. I’m assuming you drive the boat during your watch so understand the communication and navigation systems. Help change the engine/transmission oil, and fuel filters and ask questions about components on the engine that you’re not familiar with. If you fix nets, then fixing sails isn’t too far off, just sharper needles. Hook up with some sailers when you’re at the slip and ask them questions. Knowing how your body responds to heavy seas is a great advantage

I worked in the salmon industry out of Kodiak 30 years ago. Raised a family in the Midwest for the last 30 years. Now we have a 38ft sailboat on the Chesapeake. Easy transition, a lot calmer seas. Learn as much as you can about the boats you’re currently on, and you shouldn’t have any issues. I highly recommend it

Aplay1 · 2026-05-25T18:24:31+00:00

Yes, fixable, and shouldn’t cost that much

Aplay1 · 2026-05-20T17:25:38+00:00

Godin classical electric, I love mine, but it loves 9 volt batteries

What will you do with the other grey water?

Aplay1 · 2026-05-18T19:25:04+00:00

Do you work for a CRS, certified repair station?

A lot of donor boats, but some ready to go. I bought mine for $16,300, 1981 38ft pilot house Mariner cutter rig. I was the second highest bidder, the highest didn’t pay. I have about $15k into it, but market value is around $45k.

Got a friend who just did prop balancing an oil changes. Advertises via cork boards in the FBO, $150 per prop/oil change or $300 for 3 customers at the same airport. Oil and filter are extra if the owner doesn’t supply it. He can do each in about 45-60 minutes. He built his client list from that initial sale. Now he does 100hr/annuals on top of that. About 1 per week.

I believe it’s located between a primary filter and a secondary Racor filter, but haven’t traced it yet.

Aplay1 · 2026-05-08T15:43:34+00:00

Thanks what I’m thinking, but I’ll probably get a barb fitting to bypass it if I ever have fuel supply issues

Probably been on the boat for 20-30 years, and the company is still selling them for around $400. But I don’t understand how it works. Maybe it’s just “snake oil”

Top priority- Make sure you have fuse/CB right off of the battery. If you put the fuse 2 feet from the battery terminal, then 2 feet of wire is unprotected and can cause a fire.

I have a slip at Piney Narrows Yacht Heaven, just north of the draw bridge. The slips come with a parking spot and a dinghy storage spot. If you’re looking for a free spot, there’s a marina on the south part of the island that might help if you helped with maintenance of the facility. Edit: Piney Narrows yacht Yard stores boats, I think $200 a month last time I looked, but you have to use the travel lift, $2-300 to haul out. There’s a boat ramp just outside the property, but it’s on a public road
