    Evinrude Gasket Sealing Compound Alternatives

    This stuff is the cat’s butt in my opinion, especially for sealing threads on stainless bolts in aluminum castings. I pretty much use it like I would use anti-seize compound in non-marine applications, that is, on pretty much every single bolt. I was advised to use this stuff by the guys at...

    Harvesting Shellfish around Stuart Channel

    So I’m looking at this map, and I want to double check if it’s accurate. I’m in an area close to a “green” zone, so I am wondering if I can actually harvest shellfish. https://gisp.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/Html5Viewer/Index.html?viewer=CSSP_Public_En_Site&locale=en Does anyone on the south island...

    Running 1989 Ford 5.0 motor core

    I will have a running 5.0 (302 Windsor) from a Ford truck for sale soon. Has 279k km, and consider it a core as it has a intermittent knock that goes away when the engine warms up. I don’t think it’s a rod, my guess is piston slap from a bad wrist pin, but I have not confirmed diagnosis. I...

    Fishing Salt Spring Island

    I am going to be house sitting on SSI for a number of days in the next few weeks, and I am wondering if it’s worth bringing my boat over. I’ll be staying on the west side of the island, and it looks like both the public boat ramps are on the east side. Is there any fishing on the east side? I...

    Auto PFDs

    I should probably get a PFD I’ll actually wear, especially winter fishing in a small boat where taking a dunk in 4°C water will probably be unpleasant, especially if my muscles cramp up and I can’t swim. Anyone have any experience with this model...

    Anyone launch at Sewell’s recently?

    Their site says they have 3 parking spots. Anyone know how much it costs, and how busy it is this time of year? Their site does seem to show rates for launching.

    Mac’s River Runner Prop Guard

    Not sure what size it is, got it used for my old boat and ended up not using. Unfortunately the Mac’s site doesn’t have dimensions, and the unit has no markings identifying the size. Check the measurements in photos to see if it would work with your motor. Sold

    Deal on vacuum sealer bags

    Wells Can in Burnaby has a 2 for 1 deal on vac bags. I got 2 double packs of 8” x 20’ long rolls for $32. That’s a little over half of what the comparable food saver bags sell for. They also had some pretty impressive vac sealers in their show room. I went there to get hot sauce bottles...

    Fermenting Peppers for Hot Sauce

    Since someone in the gardening hacks post asked me to post my process for fermenting peppers, I figured I’d create a new post explaining it. This is my third year of making hot sauce, so I’m by no means an expert. I do have some experience home brewing, and there are some techniques that carry...
