Thanks, I’ll check that out

I understand that the Honda has a 30amp receptacle but that it is only to connect to a second generator. I assume that you can also connect a shore power cable to it as well?

Thanks. The engine is a Volvo D4. I’ll check out the alternator and see if I can determine if it is sufficient. I’ll also do some research on solar.

My 3.5KW diesel generator died last year and I’m debating on whether to replace it. My primary use was to run AC underway and at anchor when it was located on the Chesapeake Bay. Now the boat is in the Thousand Islands and I’m planning to make an extended cruise up the Trent Severn to Georgian...

Is a yellow flag required to be displayed when entering Canada prior to checking in with customs? Also, is there a Canadian tow boat operator equivalent to Sea Tow or Tow Boat US that serves Ontario and Quebec?

I remember those days and living not far from DC at the time it was taken pretty seriously. I thought those days were long gone in the 21st century but madmen are obviously timeless. I’m willing to pay the price and hope that economic power can bring Putin to his knees. If the Ukrainians can do...

Camano Generator I have a 2005 with a Mastervolt 3.5 KW generator. This was installed new at the builder. Mastervolt no longer makes generators but a company called Whisper Power now makes these generators and they look identical but are supposedly an improved model with variable speed...

Exploring the possibility of relocating my Camano 31 from the Chesapeake Bay to Lake Champlain sometime in the future. Currently I do full winterization in water with a Flybridge cover and electricity to 5 AGM batteries. Marina also has bubblers for occasional ice. What is the normal procedure...

I’ll take AP I have a newer Garmin HD radar and in over 700 hours of operation I’ve only really needed it two or three times and in those instances the chart plotter with AIS was more helpful. In one case on the ICW in SC the fog was thick but due to the narrowness of the channel other vessels...

Thank you for the links. Good information!

On a late fall trip down the Eastern shore and I will be going to Crisfield, Md and Pocomoke, City, Md. Two interesting routes are the Daugherty canal from the Big Annemessex down to Crisfield and Broad Creek down to Pocomoke Sound. I draw 3’4”. Anyone been through either of these?

The mechanic claimed that he checked the connections but it’s worth checking again. Thanks!

I have a Maxwell 500 windlass on a 2005 model Camano that has been giving me problems for awhile. I use the remote control at the helm to operate it and it always worked well then it increasingly struggled to raise the anchor even when it was off the bottom. The breaker would kick out if it was...

Camano 31 My Camano has the Volvo D4 210 HP electronic engine from 2004. Most came with the 200HP TAMD 41, For my boat the EVC gives a fairly accurate real time view of fuel burn and in favorable conditions with trim tabs at about 3/4 down it does between 8-9 knots at 3.25 GPH. 10 knots is is...
