PDQ OWNERS FORUM

charter company that i was thinking of was sunsail out of annapolis.

unfortunately, i don't have my boating magazines here. there used to be a company based in annapolis which had mv34 for charter. they moved the boats to punta gorda, fl for the winter. also, i thought that i read someone would have a new one for charter out of hopetown, abacos, bahamas. hope this he...

hi sandy, based on our experience the answer to prop size will depend on how much you load the boat. according to chris, the 16x14 is the std prop pdq uses on 75 hp boats. we had 16x14 since we bought the boat but after doing 2 roundtrips to fl and bahamas it became obvious we were overloading the e...

hi sandy,

we have used the colored ties from west for 2 trips to florida & back plus ne summer and they have lasted adequately.

hi, ours failed soon after we bought the boat...used, but it only had about 2 years of actual use. tank corroded out. replaced in with an all satinless isotemp based on passagemaker tech editor's reco. 6 gallon basic fits in same space with room to spare. so far we're very pleased. they're aren't ch...

just saw the new 41 pass thru fernindina, fl on her way south. she looks beautiful!

briefly spoke to owner on vhf. they're headed to naples, fl.

i have posted this earlier in this thread, but i'll post it again because i think it's very important. on our boat (#23) the charger is mounted in a closed locker. when the charger is in bulk charge mode that locker becomes HOT. i mounted a 12V pc cooling fan from radio shack. it drops the temperatu...

ask about where you can anchor vs have to get a mooring. moorings tend to fill up quickly.

hi all, just wanted to let you know that we've replaced our 100A combiner with the 250A version. in a little over a year we've had 2 of the 100A version fail in the boat and one was bad from the factory. the problem seems to be that the solenoids on the 100A model aren't up to the task. i believe th...

hi,

i believe that you'll find that your rudders will get out of alignment periodically based on your miles traveled.

hi, did you do the alignment both ways? i've made a practice of doing correction for both toe-in and out. we just checked alignment out of water lastweek and procedure worked. rudders came out dead on. btw, we do it every 2 weeks when were travelling a lot. i think it gets out of alignment more than...

hi guys,

could you give a product name for a dry lubricant. we have the same problem.

thanks salwa,

unfortunately the option is at the forum level so you have to select it for each forum you enter AND it's not persistent.

hi all,

does anyone know if it is possible to have most recent reply appear first rather than at the bottom? if so, what is the trick?

hi, we have a 34 and just went on a 32 this summer. main difference appears to be approx 1' extension in bow and approx 1' in stern. also things like transmission might be different, flybridge is different, but so are many early 34's. don't know if pdq monitors this, but i'm sure they could tell you...
