I came into possession of a Newport 28 MkII recently. As I start going through the boat, to see what works and what doesn’t, my first priority is to put some batteries back into the boat. I see what looks like a spot for 2 batteries on the port side. My first question is, what size batteries fit...

Hi, my newport 28 had a bad winter with high humidity (esp due to backed up drain + over dripping stuffing box + no shore power/heat) in the engine compartment which has led to some pretty serious corrosion across much of the lower half of the Universal M18 - just looking at the cost of...

Man, its difficult to find a bimini and get the placement right on this boat.
The backstays, or the winches are seemingly always in the way.
Ive purchased two and couldnt get either to work.
Has anybody had any luck?
Bonus points for posting the exact one you have.

Hi, I have a dripping stuffing box (1 every 5 seconds, even when i arrive at the boat, more when running). I'd love to have a dry boat and so a PSS seems attractive. Has anyone had any experience selecting one for this boat? The shaft looks to be 7/8ths according to the calipers but hard to...

I get the impression my boat cruises slower than those around me so I'd be keen to hear from other N28 owners who have the M18 what sort of speed they get at upper cruising revs. I'm generally around 4.2kts. (My boat doesnt have a tach but the throttle is at around 80%) Perhaps I'm being too...

Hi I'm fitting an anchor light to my masthead- a friend sent up his drone to take pics and seems the best option is to mount a right angle bracket screwed into the side of the masthead. I can see two sets of screw holes (one already taken with a similar bracket used for the windex). From rough...
