Autopilots are great, but they do require electricity to power the motor that moves the rudder – that's how the autopilot keeps the boat on course. But Herby of Rigging Doctor found that his Garmin autopilot drew too much power. So he uses wind vane steering instead of the Garmin autopilot he installed.

This was sadly the worst thing I ever bought!

Shaft alignment is an essential – but sometimes miserable – task. SigmaDrive makes quick and easy work of this sometimes onerous task.

Many people have dogs on their boat. If your dog is not a good swimmer, consider getting a safety suit for your dog. Because some times, your dog’s doggy paddle is not enough.

Our dog is not a good swimmer, so we got him some help

There's a reason marine paints are so expensive: because they are worth it. In the long run, you are better off spending the money on the correct marine paint, rather than trying to save money on paints that were not designed for marine applications.

If you don't have time to do it right, you’ll need time do it over

Rocna owners love their anchors. But there are at least two cruisers who created videos to show why they replaced their Rocnas with Ultra anchors. See why I will replace my Rocna with an Ultra:

No one thinks less about their anchor chain, but it may be the most important thing on your boat. If you chain fails, you lose your anchor and maybe your boat.

Why you should buy Ketten Wålder Cromox chain for your anchor

Rainman’s watermaker puts out 36 gallons per hour, using 115v power. In most cases, you’ll need a generator. But if you’re 100% reliant on your generator for 115V power, you are out of water if your generator fails.

Plan B would be a 2000W-4000W inverter and a large bank of efficient batteries. Traditional wet-cell batteries may not be up to the task. But is a bank of five 100W AMGs sufficient?

Let’s do the math.
