I just discovered mildew in my cuddy (first pic) and a corresponding pattern of damage to the fiberglass on the deck above (second pic). My first thought was that something had fallen on the deck and made a pattern of punctures, and that water was getting in through the punctures and causing the...

Looking for denatured alcohol as fuel for an Origo stove. Guy at Poco Marine says it is banned in Canada now. I can find it online at Amazon, but at about $50 a quart. Does anyone know of a local supplier? Thanks. -Brad

I bought a boat last summer. The pre-purchase mechanical inspection on the Merc 496 MAG came back all-good. This May, Inlet Marine found that "PORT EXHAUST MANIFOLD AT THE BOTTOM OF WATER SUPPLY FOUND EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED WHERE FITTING GOES IN .LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE IN THE PAST - OVER...

I passed through second narrows yesterday at a few minutes before low slack. I was surprised by what looked like tidal rapids, complete with standing waves (a couple of which I took over the bow). The charts say you can expect cross currents from the Seymour river on the ebb, but what I saw...

Need some work done on a Yamaha 9.9 kicker. Boat is in the water at Reed Pt in Port Moody. TIA -Brad

The deck hatch on my boat is leaking. I'm pretty sure it is through cracks in the caulking around the hatch, not the rubber seal. There hasn't been much rain since I bought the boat, and before me it was stored in a boat house. I think it's just the rains from the last couple of weeks that has...

I prefer this to the store-bought. As close as I can get to my Japanese mother-in-law's recipe. (Can never get a detailed recipe out of her. "Just add ingredients X, Y, Z until it tastes like mine ...") Ingredients: - 2 tsp sesame or vegetable oil - 2 cloves of garlic, minced - 1 medium yellow...

I'm looking for a hotel in Comox for mid-August for a family of 5. We usually get by with a room with 2 queen beds. Just one night. Any recommendations? Searching priceline.com suggests the Port Augusta Inn would be a good bet. Thanks, Brad

Not mine. http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/bnc/boa/5622542655.html I wonder if that single axle trailer is up to the job?

Someone is selling a C-King Marauder on UsedVic http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/New-26-Ft-Welded-Aluminum-Boat_16378991 I read some good impressions of the C-Kings on this forum (from a long time ago), and the manufacturer claims a comfortable ride. The video at...

A bit too big for me, but someone else might be interested in taking a look: http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/boa/5134639224.html

Can anyone with a Campion 542, Campion 185 or Malibu 182 tell me if their boat is less than 7' in height when on the trailer (and if so, whether the trailer is bunk or roller)? Trying to figure out if I can fit such a boat into a garage with a 6'10" door and Google is failing me. Thanks in...

Hi everyone, I'm essentially a complete newbie to fishing and boating, having done neither since I owned a car-top aluminum boat as a teenager many years ago. I'm trying to get back in. Size-wise I think an 18' is about ideal. Small enough for me to tow/store, big enough to fit the family for...
