PDQ OWNERS FORUM

Hi Bruce,
How did you make out? Did you get a surveyor and conclude a purchase? We just bought a PDQ on the Gulf Coast and the surveyor saved us much more than his fee.

I have a PowerSuvivor watermaker rated at 1.4 GPH that needs servicing. Previous owner did not preserve the membrane properly when he stopped using it for a year or more. Have not found any service on the East Coast. Katadyn in Minneapolis MN will check it out, but I'm guessing it'll cost me $500 to...

To install the 8 T-105s, I had to trim the wooden mounting block for the fuel vent. I put 3/4" marine plywood as a base which extended back to within 4" of the stern. There are 4 batteries on the port side running longways, and 4 batteries running beam-ways. I had less than 1 inch to spare...

I'm looking to install an icemaker - - perhaps on the flybridge deck, under the L-shaped seat to port. If this is something you'd tackle, give me a call to discuss.

We'll be at the power boat show Thurs and Fri.
Arriving by boat, I'd like some anchoring suggestions that will give us dingy access to the show area or a water taxi connection.
We'd be happy to conrtibute to a cookout - - just let us know.

We just upgraded the house bank. Went from four 12v that would suffice for a day at best before we noticed the freezer was getting warmer. Replaced with 8 of the 6v Trojan T-105s - - just b-a-r-e-l-y fit in the housebank compartment. I haven't had a chance to really test them under load for days at ...

We used Velcro strips (one side glued to deck and the other glued to the underside of the hatch cover - - at the corners and in the middle.
Enjoy the quiet!

That's only half the story! The western leg from Okeechobee was closed at Moore Haven from May 6 to about Aug 20. The route across FL is effectively closed for the months of May, June, July, and August !!! I planned to take the PDQ 34 I bought in mid-June across this route to get accustomed to her. ...

I'd be interested.

I just purchased a PDQ 34 MV29 about 2 weeks ago. One issue I need help solving is a differential DC reading on the engine block and the shaft on both engines of about 650mv when using an Ag/Ag-Cl cell as a common reference. The props needed to be replaced because they had been de-zincified - - noth...

Mr. Sawyer is correct. The reason for the rule is that the 360 visibility of the anchor light does not cause serious confusion..

41 amps for 20 hours !! Does that mean you can run the stateroom AC all night without running the genset?
I just purchased MV34029 and think I will need a new housebank before the next 12 mos.
