Re: Achoring in the Bahamas with a MV 34
hi, we've beenanchoring in the bahamas for 6 years, almost all in abacos. we've used a 20kg spade and now a 20kg rocna. we have 40' chain. both have done well for us. rocna's lower profile helps when there is sand over limestone. in abacos you get a lot of grass and anchor needs to get down through ...

Re: Shaft vibration
hi dave,
you say you added "half cutlass bearings". is it half length? if so, why didn't you use a full cutlass bearing?

Re: Prop anti-fouling
we've used petit barnicle barrier for the past 2 seasons in bahamas and florida. it has worked very well. it lists at $44 @ west. 1 spray can will do both props 2-3 coats.

Re: davit block and tackle
hi,
originals on our boat were from rmo (aust). since then we have replaced with a combo of ronstan (8 part stern) and harken (3 part bow). we have an ab 9'8" rib with 15 hp 2 stroke. we use the originals to secure the bow/stern to prevent swinging side to side.
not sure you can get rmo parts.

Re: Water Heater Check Valve

Re: transmission oil cooler?
hi dick,
thanks for the reply. after getting into the engine compartment, i found that the rubber boots on the cooler have "bowman" on them, so i assume they are bowman coolers. i'm sending pictures with dimensions to bowman to see if they are bowman coolers. i'll post what they say.

hi john,
we've got 2700+ hrs on boat. we go to bahamas all winter, so i would rather err on the side of caution as opposed to mixing atf and saltwater.
