Boats & Boating

My understanding is that salvage rights may earned through maritine law by who throws and accepts the rope when a boat is in distress. Am not sure whether the boat in distress should throw the rope or accept the rope to avoid the possibility of loosing their vessel after rescue. Which way around is it??

Could it be the the thing to tie up prisoners? Like the hands would go through and get shackles. Assuming off of a boat.

why do boat owners hate boats? it seems like they always attempt to discourage people interested in buying a boat. I know owning a boat is a huge financial deal but is owning a boat "that bad"? doesn't anyone enjoy their boats? or do the costs of owning far outweigh the pleasure of having one?

Why do some boat owners engage their engines "in gear" while they are in a berth or on a mooring?

Hi- My fiancee has an old boat handed down from his father who passed away. It has sentimental values so I thought I would fix it up for him for x-mas.

I know I want to clean it up, re-paint, and make new seat covers. But I don't really know what else I can do or should do. Does anyone have any suggestions on products to use or tips?

I have a 19' SeaRay that for the last 2 years I've been trailering it everytime we use it. My step-dad (a self proclaimed no it all) claims this is bad on the engine mounts and such because of all the bumps in the road and that over time if I keep trailering it, its going to eventually ruin it. I was just wondering if there is any validity to this or is he just talking nonsense? And we're just talking about 5-6 blocks of city driving to the river and the bumps would be mostly from a set of railroad tracks that cross the street.

Im interested in about a 16-19 ft. skiing boat. Surprisingly there is not too much difference in price between the two. At least from what I have seen.

I have successfully winterized my Mercruiser 5.7L Inboard Ski engine and follwed the service manual for each step - fuel stblz; fogged; water block drain; ect...

I have two questions:

1. Online, I have read alot about filling the open-cooling water system with antifreeze to avoid block cracks. The service manual has no instruction for this step. Has/does anyone do/have experience with this?

2. When I drained the engines lowest water block valves, I notices a bit of rust on the tip of the plug, the first bit of water appeared rusty when drained...should I be concerned? Is this a sign for problems, or is dirty water and a bit of rust normal for an open water cooling Mercruiser engine?



The boat is ouside on trailer, covered, and is a direct drive (engine in the middle of the boat). Currently, winterized with gas stblz, fogged, and block water drained.

Also I live in California's central valley, so the cooldest winter temps will be in the low 20's at worst perhaps 2-5x

I pulled some stings with some collegue bankers, and I was advised the bank that had the boat no longer owns it. Thus I conclude the dealer does.

I am thinking that I could put gasket material on the covers, but then they would be uneven with the deck.

Build a 20,000+ sqft floating platform to put a small pre-fab home on and then boat/float a few miles (international waters) off the coast of California.
This would be perhaps a floating disc with a radius of 80ft or a floating rectangle 108X185ft...
Do not concern yourself with how I would get fresh water or food...
Thank You!

I currently use a 370 amp deep-cycle battery to run an electric trolling motor for docking. I'd like to run holiday lights up the stays of the mast. Can I use the same battery? How would I go about the wiring from scratch. Any suggestions are where to start?
Thanks and have a great Holiday Season.
