PDQ OWNERS FORUM

Good morning, I concur with all Duetto has mentioned....except the life of the batteries....If we are lucky we get 4 years out of the house bank and only three years out of the eng. start batteries. Last year we tried a different brand for the house (interstate) and they lasted 2 years...never again...

The pick up tubes in the forward tank were cut at a depth to prevent more than about 50 of the 70 gal to be transferred aft. The practicality of the information however is questionable as we all know our fuel gages are not very accurate. My rule of thumb is that I never take the forward tank down to...

A comment to owners….high water bilge alarms are easy to install, not expensive and a very practical insurance to avoid a major problem. I know of several real experiences where a high water alarm could have saved the owner thousands…not to mention the headaches.

This is an important and troublesome issue on our boats as they grow older and I thought it might be helpful to summarize all the lessons learned with the Nova Kool units. First and foremost they are good and reliable units but there have been many issues, most related to installation. Many hulls ha...

We were one of the first PDQ’s to get the Bourgerv and have used it extensively over the last year. Our first unit stoped working after about 5 hours and upon notifying the company we had a new unit in hand three days later….outstanding service. Since then the unit has been absolutely 100%. Low amp ...

As our engines grow older the starter relay is failing on many engines. It is a simple and not very expensive ($179 to $350 depending on where you shop) part that you should have on board as a spare. Replacing it is not easy due to its difficult to access location just under the starter motor. Many ...

Happy to report that the flotilla made it to Block Island safe and sound with no problems other than weather delays. Taryn Away, Easy Riders, Clementine and Heron celebrated the arrival with a great dinner at Deadeye Dick’s overlooking our boats in the harbor.

Rudder alignment frequency is a function of two things..1. How much the rams are leaking and 2. How often you turn the rudders. As a result, no two boats are identical in their need to align the rudders and even on the same boat the frequency can vary based on sea conditions where lots of rudder act...

Well...the solution has been found...we all suffer from ceiling vinyl that gets sticky and dirty over the years. We, like most owners have tried to find a cleaning product that would works....and we finally did...ALCOHOL.... just that simple. I had an old towel that I cut up into 4x8 inch pads and u...

Hello to all, All of our boats have Bomar windows that use a unique black rubber gasket material on the outside. Like all rubber material exposed to the weather it does deteriorate over time unless very well maintained. Any good protectant material like 303 protectant or inflatable boat protectant w...

Hi Folks, For those of us with 2006 and 2007 model year boats we have SS ports offered by Bowmar. They are excellent ports but as they age some may encounter leaking problems that can lead to a more significant failure of the port. Bear with me as this is a long story..... The way the ports are manu...
