I have a 1999 Dodge Cummins and have had the same issues. I am not sure if the 2000 still used the VP44 injection pump? If you check the diesel forums you will find a lot of interesting reading on...

I don't have any soundproofing on the doghouse of my inboard. The box is 3/8" ply with a layer of CSM inside and out. The old mercruiser I6 sure makes a lot of noise. Can anyone suggest a...

I am making a transom platform ( like a swim grid) that I plan on putting my anchor set up in. I have a plastic storage box that the anchor and rode will go in and would like to be able to remove it...

Did you run your radar and all other wires thru the same clamshell? As long as the "plugging with silicone" works and no drips..... sounds good.

Thanks for the reply Statler, the Blue Seas device looks good. I do have my allround light and horn wiring to run as well. Are the Blue Seas cable clams suitable for that as well?

Just bolted my radar dome to the hardtop and need to run wires into the hardtop to connect it all up. What is the best strategy for getting wiring through the hardtop without getting drips on my...

GLG , would like to have a look. I tried to PM you, but your mail box is full.

Which ones did you get? The bunk or post style? I would imagine the bunk style would do a better job of "guiding you in", but the post style at the rear corners would be a lot easier to fab up.

Not sure exactly what the proper term for them is, but I would like to make up a set of guides to help load the boat on the trailer. I have seen some that are just posts at the rear of trailer and...

What's the program for herring? Do you jig for them?

Heading to Nanaimo Mon morning to catch the ferry. I wanted to stop in at Pac Net and Twine on the way down. I can't seem to find the hours on the web site. Does any one know when they open in the...

Nice pics! Thanks for sharing.

i would like to get into prawning this winter too. I have been looking around, and it seems like Ladner traps are a bit tough to find on the Island. Trotac and Pac net both stock Black Diamond...

How about closed containment fish farms with fibreglass pens rather than nets? Have a look at Agrimarine and what they are doing.

I ran into someone here in Comox that built one, can't recall if it was a standard or a widebody. He used to own a double eagle and raved about the handling of the Tolman compared to the DE. He...

I will be driving up island on Sunday morning and hope to hit the Stamp for a few hours. Any one fished it this week? I imagine the river should be still be in good shape, I don't think it has rained...

I think I can put the radar mount on the hardtop... seems to be sturdy enough and the dome is not all that heavy. John, is there any issue with having your allround light mast that close to the dome?...

I have recovered from the mad scramble trying to get my Sangster project into the water in time for a late August Winter Harbour trip. I still have lots to do on this project including mounting the...

Just tried, but video seems to have been removed.

Looks like it should be a good fishing rig. What are your plans for the swim grid? I want to make up a swim grid for my Sangster project boat as well. I moved my fuel tanks forward under the seats...

Managed to get the boat into the water just before the intended departure for our Winter Harbour trip in late August. Wow what a lot of work. Pretty happy with how the boat worked out and managed to...

I don't know if they are closed for the season, but I was able to buy 150quart coolers of flake ice from Qualicum Rivers resort in Winter Harbour for 20$ a cooler. Way easier than having to bring it...

Thanks GLG. I'll give them a call tomorrow.

I believe it is the San Juan system, it is 4" dia and mounted vertically to the starboard side of engine. I am going to call San Juan in Bellingham on Monday and see what I can do, perhaps they have...

I am doing final assembly on my Sangster project boat. I notice one of the rubber caps for the heat exchanger looks a little suspect. Any one know where I would find such an item? A rad shop?
