What Dinghy

So, we have a 8 foot west marine dinghy w/ 4hp mercury. I cant seem to make it work on the original davits. No matter how I rig it, it's too low. I tried without the motor, and still no joy. Sick of taking of the motor and putting the dinghy on deck every time. Does anyone have a dinghy solution tha...

Re: Charging from Portable Generator

Ill check out zero to cruising. We are at the Merri-Mar yacht basin. Very reasonable price for a mooring, and a lovely new facility. We copied your graphic layout for our boat, w/ the name on the side of the stern, and logos on the bows. Ill try untwisting. Do the lines need to be certain lengths? S...

Raising motors, are I dumb.

New owner, working on getting the boat splashed.
