One of my favorite places, but then it’s one of many peoples favorite places. It is fairly protected, but don’t believe that I’ve not seen some strong gusts in there from time to time causing unexpected chaos. Stay away from the head of the bay near the stream, too much silt and not great...

On the windows, not sure how you misinterpreted what I wrote, but I think we agree. New Bounty windows are gorgeous but won’t match the old identically. You do all at once if you do them. I’ve not found windows terribly difficult to remove, it does require a bit of patience, but they come...

A ruling? Not sure where we would see that. Have we seen Canadian LE routinely enforce the no anchoring in the past year, absolutely here on the West coast. They were even trying to prohibit those who did not anchor but merely “cut the corner” but never landed or anchored. The fish...

Couple small points… You can get windows from Bounty, but not really window. If you break one, the new ones won’t perfectly match. Not a problem when replacing all. By then once the window is out, I did not understand the comment that you might hit the remaining frame and need to buy a new...

Kudos to the OP for having a large fender ready. What if you just let out all your rode and stop? Create some more room for the guy to work. Then get prepared to drop it completely next. I like any option I’ve already prepared for, like having the bitter end of my chain already set up to...

This thread is going to continue until it has been milked for all it’s worth.

I’m not sure how to express it without being silly, but somewhere deep down I actually share your disdain, irony and all.

Wait. One more time. Explain why Canadians don’t think they live on an American continent? :) To the OP, at first glance I though you were going to be like some of my other friend across the pond. “We’re coming to visit next year.” “We want to see New York, Florida, the Grand Canyon and...

I’ve never once seen the Q flag flown out here on the west coast. I just checked my courtesy flags, well what do you know, I have one correct, one incorrect. In my defense, both were purchased in Canada.

Once upon a time, my boat would get new zincs at the same interval. You could almost set your watch by it. I used a silver cell when I first got her and adjusted the number of zincs until I hit the ideal range. About two years later, all of a sudden my zincs were gone in 4-5 months, gone. The...

Is that a Lucas valve?

At three million I would not expect spelling issues, “Cummings”, “Algripe”, just right out of the gate. Call me old fashioned, and I may be, but I expect the copy to be proofread on something like this. I guess that’s tough for product names being spelled phonetically. She sure is checkbook...

So in summary you have a sizable amount of oil coming from the breather condensing on the air intake screen? Could be a number of things. Could be normal, hard to quantify from a description. Some amount of blow by is perfectly normal, especially if the engines have been run cold and not...

Ummm, too long ago, can hardly remember breakfast. That said, turn the knob until the rpm’s match what you know to be true. I’ve got a really inexpensive photo tach that will accurately confirm the actual rpm.

Go get a preval sprayer, they cost about $12. First, go ahead and fill as you have been doing, til just shy of level. Next, put a drop of the uncured gel on the surface somewhere and put a piece of clear scotch tape over it. It will make it easier to see if the color is a close match. If a...
