I was not proud of that display and shared so others could learn from me

Ah crap I hate dumb mistakes. Port reverse, stern starboard. Starboard reverse, stern port. Thank you for the comment.

I had that happen when I did not save part way through. Should have stressed saving partway. The whole site is maddening.

@ gotcha so I just have to start all over again and follow through. Right?

​@@OffshoreBullies Sadly, yes. I think you do a save after the first page is completed. Then can go back. After my first failure, I power through and save out of fear of losing the progress. Good luck. Jealous you are heading over!

It is why we have the boat!

Thanks for the tip. I have enjoyed talking with other Jeanneau owners about their experience on other models. And, seeing how people set them up and modify makes me think of how I can do the same.

Absolutely, this was the weather that presented that day. I will seek out a mid-tide sometime to dock, since that can present more challenge. When I left the fuel dock in this, it was one the easiest departures of my life.

I do not know. If it is a a Springfield sliding base, it is likely the same mount. If you do replace it, report back to let us know. It likely has an even larger impact on a 795 in terms of seating.

Slow slow slow.

@@AndrewWoodhouse Be chill, channel "The Dude" from the Big Lebowski when docking.

Really appreciate the encouragement. Showing that maintenance is just part of ownership is major goal of the channel. A boat, no matter what kind, new or old, will have small things break - the natural state of a boat is on the bottom. Our job is to keep it on top.

Thank you. Trying to be helpful and honest about owning a boat.

Great visualization.

No it is not.

They did send a replacement floors. But, have heard of several people with problems.

Thank you for the encouragement. Handling above 3’ gets bumpy. Hard to keep on a plane. We have crossed to the Bahamas on 5’ seas and had to keep off a plane, which really increases fuel consumption. It is weatherly with the cabin, but does not perform like a similar sized deeper vee boat. If mostly off shore use, there are more stable vessels for bigger seas. Would weigh how much time you would spend off shore versus near shore and overnights. We love the boat after almost 3 years and will still cross in those type of seas, but it is a slog.

@@echozulucruising Thank you! The water I boat is half of time 2-4 ft - my deep V 22 degree handles well...

@@crgeorge1 so, the judgement call is how much over 3, we can plane in most 3' seas of not too tight. 2' is easy. 4' we notice a the slap most and need to pull back. if you are getting somewhere to hang out on board, it would be fine, if it is longer runs off shore to fish in that, it will be rougher, with the trade off of the cabin. Good luck!

Thank you. The goal is to use our knowledge to show what is possible.

Ha. I do not want them in the boat!

An addiction I know, but, especially on a cold day, one I enjoy.

Thank you. Really appreciate the encouragement.

That brings me joy. Good luck finding that next boat. A major motivation for starting a channel is to help make being on the water more accessible by showing what it is like to own an express cruiser and answering people’s questions about them without being a dick.

Thank you for the feedback. The vast majority of my experience is on diesel and outboards - allowing me to overlook that imperative of running the blower on inboard/outboard gas boats. I will add the water way guide link. We have hard copy, but check the app for gas prices when traveling, at least as reference.

I have not been on the 1295 in rough seas. Our 1095, which has a fairly low dead rise of 16 degrees at the transom, does not cut through tight waves smoothly over 3.5 feet/ about 1 meter. Meaning, on our 1095, we start to slow down significantly in larger waves. The 1295 is heavier, so may provide a slightly better ride, but, has a similar lower dead rise. Not sure what size waves would start feeling the waves, but, it is not a deep v wave cutter.

Fair. Though, it is shocking the number of people who leave it open leaving the dock.

It will be at the top of the list!

Sugar

I admit my addiction and have not been motivated to change as of yet.

Thank you for the encouragement. We do not have a noticeable list to port. However, we often use the port trim tab when underway - depending on load. Our boat is a little bow forward at dock (a can will roll through the salon aft to bow), though slight.

Appreciate the comment, trying to make boating accessible as possible.

One of those things i did not realize the variation on.

That is Cumberland Island GA. So, Atlantic Coast, it is gorgeous sand, but the water is nothing like S. FL.

@ thanks looked like the gulf

@@Aqua305Mia the basic point of S. FL being better still holds.

Thank you. Having fun is always the goal. May your 2025 be delightful.

It is worth a try. One of my dock mates offered, I will take them up on it.

Ouch.

I ASSume you can, with the caveat that you would needed different screws to connect them. I believe someone tried that and was not satisfied with how securely it matched. What was satisfying about this was not additional screws or hardware is needed. If you try just the swivel, share how it works!

@ thank you. I’m in Seattle, not a lot of cruising around this time. I’ll get it done before spring season starts. Cheers

Well, you have a preseason project to look forward to.

Yes, I did. I am not proud of it.

I've been there myself...😂😂

Good call. I will do that when I replace the next. Thank you.

I did not know how much wire there was, but, when I do the next one will point it out. I would still likely remove the old just to see what was damaged, but, cutting the wire would have saved me a few hours in this case.

You are a better person than me. I should know better. But still forget.

Thank you. Tried to make it clear and show some of what I struggled with in trouble shooting and the install.

Great suggestions. I debated about 5200 vs silicone, with another boat owner observing that 5200 may make it harder to remove the next time should I need to replace again. In hindsight, I night have gone with the SMARTPLUG, I was going with the direct swap out that required no change to the hull hole. On the second receptacle, your tape recommendations on the hull to remove it makes a lot of sense. My New Years resolution is to clean my old cord (and water hose) on the next warmer day. Appreciate the constructive recommendations and the words of encouragement. Tried to codify what I did to help others either replicate or avoid what it did.

@@echozulucruising@echozulucruising FYI for others, SMARTPLUG fits the existing hole. Before reinstalling the same receptacle I would suggest investigating the fire problems with the standard power cord plugs.

@@echozulucruising@echozulucruising BTW, we own an 895 Sport :)

@@echozulucruising Weird. I did reply, but it is missing. FYI, for others, the SMARTPLUG uses the original hole.

Just toured one and loved the use of interior and exterior space.

Thank you. This is a particularly confusing case. The receptacle on the boat is equivalent to a version of a some EU 32 amp ,230 volt, 50 hz plug, HOWEVER as it is a US spec'd boat, it all goes to 120 60hz equipment. I focused on the "32 amp" vs "30 amp" because that was more the plug distinction (one has a curve inward, one a curve outward I have found). I did cut a few minutes from the video on that, mostly because i was paraphrasing someone else. My plan is to replace the other, only slightly damaged plug, and go into those connections more.

And, I need to research and be able to explain CEE vs NEMA, about which my ignorance is clearly evident.

Thank you. I clearly do not know my submarines. They are awesome to see coming in though.

@@echozulucruising very much so...huge and silent.

@@echozulucruising Very much so....huge and silent.

Great question. I held a 100-Ton Master Near Coastal Coast Guard license. I worked on a 100’ live aboard dive boat, the Sea Fever, in the Bahamas, and 55’ day boat dive boats in the Keys. My experience running boats is mostly under 60 feet and all power. I short hand “former captain” most of the time in videos. Key point is “former” as it was a long time ago and I forgot more than I used to know. But, I often come across things now on our boat recognizing it is something that is knowable, learnable and teachable.

Thank you

The maximization of the cockpit and bow space is really well laid out, without compromising the interior.
