I just had new twin 150 Yamahas installed but they are sitting too low in the water. I’m in Victoria and bought the motors in Port Alberni. I have access to an overhead crane at work but need the Yamaha Engine Lifting Eye Assembly. Is there anyone in Victoria I could rent it from ad save the...
Can anyone tell me the current price of marked gas and grade in Campbell River and Port Hardy? Heading to Port Hardy on Monday and the plan was to fill the tank in CR. Nice big station to pull the boat through.
I'm planning a June trip to Port Hardy for 3 boats and 9 or 10 guys. Google has us thinking we will stay at the Quarterdeck Inn, eat at the pub and keep the boats at the Marina. Alternatively, does anyone have a recommendation for cabins? Not looking for luxury just somewhere clean and dry. A...
I'm considering purchasing a Fridge/Freezer Combi Unit to keep my bait frozen and my lunch cold. These units will freeze water to -18C and operate on a 30 degree incline and they claim to have a relatively low power draw. It would run off shore power and just have to maintain the temperature...
My past 3 halibut trips we've brought 6 oversize (ranging from 125cm-170cm) to the boat. We had great success removing the circle hooks with the exception of the 90lb+ fish. It wasn't hooked through the lip but deeper in the mouth so we decided to cut the leader and abandon the hook. Sure hope...
Next weekend I will be listing my 2004 Northern Lite 8'5" Classic camper on UsedVic.com but I thought I would give everyone on this site an early chance. Built for a 6'6" truck bed (with tailgate removed) and weighing 844kg these campers are hard to find and hold their value. The layout is the...
I am planning on launching at Tulista boat launch this weekend and I see that it's a 2' tide. Can anyone give me a heads up if I might have difficulty launching or loading at this level? It's a 24' Skagit.
I have to replace the float switch for my bilge pump due to the wires corroding. The old Rule-A-Matic Plus 40 lasted for 20+ years so I thought I would just replace like for like however I see the reviews for the new mercury free switch are pretty concerning. It appears that they are not sealed...
Last fall I lost my steering and had to kicker home.
The issue is with SeaStar hydraulic steering and the Volvo Penta Inboard power steering actuator cylinder. The SeaStar puts an undue force on the hollow shaft and causes it to break. You cannot rebuild the power steering cylinder so...
Time to build a X-mas list and I'm looking at Ram mounts for my Ipad. I have room on my dash but I'm unable to access underneath to install backup washers and nuts. So I would need to screw and epoxy the mount to the dash. It would be ideal to use the suction mount style on the inside of my...
I was out on the water yesterday and the Navionics app on my Ipad wouldn't pair with my Garmin Glo. I found out that when I updated the Ipad with Ios 8.3 Apple has made it so no external GPS devices will pair. I went to the Garmin website and downloaded a software update for the Glo and now it...
