Hello, I just rewired my boat and installed a new circuit panel. The black are ground like you said, the blue are house lights, the rest (except grey) all go...
Ah yes, the ole' fridge emptying routine! Lol Johnnie remembers that one. I was going to put a lock on it, but never had time, or chose to just sail instead....

Glad to know I have company. LOL... Couple questions: Does that hex bolt on top of the fuel filter release the bowl underneath? Also, when you said to put a an...
I retire from retiring and go buy your boat!!! Lol! the way I look at it, if I keep busy enough to not have time to go sailing, then I will not have time to go...
If I may, I will be honest. Take the genny and put it in the bag and keep it there. The boat sails better with the jib. I have raced, and I might add, beaten...
Conrad, When I was young and foolish I met a girl who said she loved sailing. After we were married she discovered she hated boats and sailing. In due...

Welcome to our Watkins family! A 29' is a wonderful size boat. We owned a 28 foot, not a Watkins(didn't know about them), from '88 to '05 and had wonderful...
I kid thee not...(knot?) Unless the GPS is prone to fishing tales, which would be a cruel blow to both my ego and youthful idealism, I was indeed doing 6.6...
Welcome Annie's Cap'n- I'd like to extend this laurel...and hearty handshake to our new....Member. (Can anybody name that movie?) I've been a Watkins owner for...
Conrad- You can take her out anytime you want. And I mean that. Call me and I'll hook you up with a hatch key. I look forward to catching a sail together...
I have no problem believing 6.6. I have seen 7 with a little more air. Trust me I've done nothing to lighten my 27, she has all the cabinetry Watkins put in...
Lol! Good point. Ours is a retirement/money issue. Now, Obama might include me in his "bailout" plan too! I believe he is going to be helping Paul with his...
Actually Captain, if I may, Dylan and I got a 6.6 on her, but that was the top we could ever achieve. Now, my depth/GPS that I have on the boat could very...
Greetings, Annie's Cap'n! I've been a Watkins owner for all of two weeks and two days and I have to tell you, you've found one of the best user groups on the...
That's right, Jim. I never wanted more than a 15 - 20 heel. Weather helm, plus, I don't like the feeling that I am fixing to go swimming! Keep it as flat as...
Hello, My name is Jim and I am new to this group. After doing a lot of boat searching, I have decided that a Watkins 27 may be the boat that might best suit...
Never owned one, but I hear they are great boats. From what I understand, there is a guy named Jim on here, that is an amazing encyclopedia of knowledge, when...

Howdy All- Had a marvelous afternoon sailing yesterday with a buddy of mine who owns a '93 Hunter 28. We also had our 13 year old sons with us. The breeze was...
I have a 1980. My prop is left handed. You'll probably have to have one built; they're not like outboard motor props. But the size,etc. should be stamped on...
