When you're looking at buying a boat, use THE ULTIMATE SMELL Test - your nose. If it smells funky, it is funky. Trust your senses when assessing a potential sailboat to buy! This video highlights how your sense of smell can help detect issues like fuel leaks or problems with the blackwater system. Use your nose to identify potential problems in the dry bilge! Use your sense of smell to troubleshoot potential issues on your boat, such as fuel leaks or a faulty marine toilet. A gas smell or a fuel vapor could indicate a leak, while other smells might signal problems with the holding tank. Keeping a dry bilge is essential for a healthy boat! Real boats, real people, real fun! Sailboats for the Rest of Us! We showcase affordable, well-loved classics that won’t break the bank. Join us for full boat tours, expert insights, and sailing adventures—all with a touch of humor.

STOP PRESS. Max Cruise Marine are launching a new aluminum exploration catamaran called the ALU-EXP15. Heavily influenced by the proven Max 48 design and their new ALU-EXP17, this new yacht comes with aluminum hulls/bridge deck with crash bows, sacrificial mini keels,  shaft drive and a carbon fiber reinforced coachroof/salon that makes for a strong, reliable and safe world cruiser.  ▫️ All options are available from semi custom layouts to fully tested parallel hybrid using Yanamar/Hybrid Marine and Lithium/Solar.  ▫️ The first 3 hulls are being offered at an attractive discount. Check the prices out on the final slide. 👆 DM us for more information or comment "MAX". ▫️ Max Cruise Marine is developing this model with proven data and feedback in contrast to many of the newer experimental aluminium exploration designs coming onto the market. Their hybrid propulsion/generation has been proven crossing oceans for 5 years- the yachts will be built to the same standards at the factory where over 200 vessels leave each year. Expedition ALU-EX17 build slots will also be offered soon.  ▫️ #proven #yacht #design

Had my fuel polished today and got a quick look at the fuel sender unit inside the diesel tank — how the float reads fuel level, and why you don’t want it getting stuck in tank gunk.Ever wonder how your fuel gauge works? This simple float mechanism shows full when up, empty when down. No gunk, thankfully. #FuelGauge #CarTips #Mechanics #HowItWorks
