There was an article in one of the fishing/boating magazine High lighting someone in N.E. Fla. (St. Augustine or Jacksonville)that specialized in Bertram rebuilds. Does any one have the contact info? Thanks, Dan

Unfortunatley my generator quit running when at anchor twelve miles west of KeyWest My tank gauge was reading 1/4 I removed the gauge and found it had been hung up in the tank somewhere and was truly reading empty. We canceled that days fishing trip and ran back in to Key West. After fueling boat 30...

Peter I did not file a claim. When they installed the second generator the mechanic circled the section of the work order that said the generator would not be covered for water intrusuion. At that time I felt my water problem was from the bilge up, after that unit died from water intrusion we covere...

Update to old post. I have put 305 gals in my 1980 the generator had quit running (could not lift fuel)

This is a problem on all Bertrams, My boss has a 46' and had the same problem. But I disagree a little We think the problem is water driping down out of hatch, Replaced two gen units in first two years. Had a gen set cover made And have not had any more problems in past four years (knock on wood) We...

It is my understanding that the first year designation is when the keel is laid and the second number would be the model year. My hull number is 79 but Bertram has confirmed it is indeed 1980. thanxs for letting me add my two cents Cpt. Dan

I beleive Bertram new what they were doing with the small tabs and the only problem on my boat is the addidtion of a new 7.5 kw 3c...

George: Check with Dave at Sailorman on state road 84 just west of us 1 they have an unbelivable collection of used stuff. Dan

Symeon, I store my 5 hp out board between the engines on my s.f. model, easy to acsess thru hatch and out of the way. built a small cradle that holds the shaft end up so prop doesent touch and enginge rests on cowling. Dan

Yes, That is what I have done and it has added trim control (more trim possible) with no down side that I can tell. Dan

No Sean You add the angle to the outside edge of each tab extending down into the water. Dan

Hello All I know no one has posted on this in a while. Wanted to let you know my solution or I should say the solution given to me by a very experienced charter captain in Key West (Capt. Mike Weinhofer) He has run my boat many times and advised that to add more trim to the current tabs all that nee...
