dbenoit Report post Posted August 4, 2020 Taylor's Point.We are directly across the street from the Maritime Academy. Canal to the left, bay to the right and the marina very close. When in the canal during tide changes it can be creepy and pack spare shorts. I've been out there plenty of times and thought this was it. One of the reasons for a Boston Whaler.

dbenoit Report post Posted August 8, 2020 Anyone know a good Mercury Outboard techie? Want to replace 2002 smart craft gauges. Can’t see thru the lens anymore. Thanks, David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted August 8, 2020 Yes but he is in Plano, Texas. His name is Buck and works at Plano Marine. One of the best I have ever seen. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbenoit Report post Posted August 12, 2020 My Merc gauges are in bad condition. They monitor almost everything. They work fine but you can barely see thru the lens now. I was going to try and change them out with new but didn't know if I could just plug em in. I finally found a place that will replace the lens a lot cheaper than new. No DIY for those units.

wildebill308 Report post Posted August 12, 2020 David that's good news. I was wondering if polishing them with the same kit that they use on headlights might work. Replacements sound like a better deal. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dbenoit Report post Posted August 26, 2020 We are looking to get one of those carport thingies for the MH to put down the cape. It will be coastal and needs to withstand that type of weather. I see a lot advertised. Any recommendations for all who have one? Thanks. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jleamont Report post Posted August 26, 2020 David, I see them in the FMCA magazine all the time at the back of the book in the advertisement section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted August 26, 2020 David, what type of thingies are you looking to get. Down in the southwest you can see the small type of metal carport with signs on them to build on site. Are you looking for an enclosed type building or just a carport type just to cover the RV? The cost can run from a couple of thousand to however you are willing to spend. If I see one of those add on the side of the road I will get the number and you can call them to see if there is someone in New Hampshire that will build one for you.

dbenoit Report post Posted August 26, 2020 I just got the FMCA mag so I will check it out. Just looking for a metal type carport cover. Oh and withstand NE winters. It would be nice to stuff the boat in there but that would make it like 70' long. I think just 40' would be good for 38' MH. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
