    Battery Numbers

    Have you determined if they are all doing starting duty or is one or more being used to run other loads? Is this a day use only boat or overnight/ vacation boat. Have a frig? Fresh water pumps? Electric head? Interior lights? All of these would be considered your house loads and would...

    trolling too fast

    If you can afford it, installing a trolling valve is the ticket. It will allow you to go as slow as you want but not lug down the engine. Not even sure if it can be installed as a DIY project. Here is a link...

    I some times fix them by boiling in beer with some pickling spices and some salt. About 2 minutes does it.

    Towing a fishing boat behind cruiser....

    Andrew; I have been towing a small boat up and down the inside passage for the past 5 years. First few years with a 19.5 aluminum boat and now with a 15 foot Arima. I use a 100' length of Amsteel line for the main tow line as it will float and is very strong. Only problem with it is it has...

    I've lost another friend to the ocean

    In my post earlier about the shrimp fisherman, that boat was also a Trophy, a outboard model, about twenty feet. It was probably less than 5 seconds from the time the first wave came aboard till that guys were underwater. Not even enough time to jump overboard. Absolutely no time to put on a...

    I've lost another friend to the ocean

    My friend Charlie and two other guys were out shrimping one day. All three were wearing life jackets. When the wind picked up they decided they should pick up their gear, but they waited a little to long. As they started to pull the first pot, it caused the stern of the boat to turn into the...

I wrapped each frozen package in newspaper, and then packed as many as would fit in a Styrofoam cooler, leaving just enough room on top for some dry ice. I then taped all the seams...

    1st Trip: Bella Bella or Rivers Inlet (with guests)?

    Mary; It would be approx. a 9 hr. cruise from Dawsons Landing in Rivers Inlet to Shearwater or Bella Bela ( their right next to each other) at 8 kts. Dawsons would be the best place in Rivers Inlet for you to tie up and the float planes come right to your dock. The Chinook fishing will be...

    Aluminium Fuel tank pitting

    If the pin holes where the sender sits do no go all the way through, JB Weld should be fine. There will a gasket under the sender and fuel should not reach your repair. The prep work is key here. Can you get to the area with a drill motor with a wire brush installed? If not how about a Dremel...

    Boat trailer Speedi sleeves

    You might try and bearing supply house. You would probably need to give them the size you need as I doubt they would have a catalog to look that up in. I have had some success in repairing a surface like this by using a epoxy like JB Weld. Clean it up real good by using a wire brush and...

    I'm surprised the business that did the work for you did not recommend what products to use for the type of clear vinyl they used.
