FOR SALE: Used but good condition Weaver Industries parts that I removed from a dinghy that came to us with a boat about five years ago, and stored in garage since then. There is some minor surface rust but they appear to be completely serviceable. Depending on your use, there may be additional...

This PT11 nesting dinghy was professionally built from a Port Townsend Watercraft kit in 2020. It has had very light summer use since then and is in excellent condition. Included is: Complete sailing rig and storage bag Complete foils kit and carry case Removable rear seat Custom...

I couldn't find the answer on the web, so here goes. When reading ATF/oil level in a ZF 63A gearbox, do I thread the dipstick all the way down, or do I rest it on the case just prior to engaging the threads? Should the fluid be cold or warm? Is "mid-level" the appropriate amount? Is there a...

Hello All; Ive inadvertently set my OpenCPN 5.6.0 display to show only 1/4 of the available chart area. I feel like Ive painted myself into a corner and cant get out. Does anyone recall how/where to restore the full screen view? Thanks.

Sitting in Pender Harbour tonight this forecast caught my attention. I've never seen a waterspout watch in these waters. Maybe I've lead a sheltered life.

We just witnessed (2100 PDT) a fascinating light show in the sky. It started as a bright white light about 20 degrees above the horizon, in the southern sky. At first I thought it was a CG helicopter over the Strait. It soon broke up into a collection of 20 or so separate lights, with trails...

I know this is a long shot, but if I dont ask....... We heard and felt another big boom Sunday night around 10pm. It was felt over a large area of the SW side of San Juan Island. Many residents around the island stepped outside to see what it may have been. Most concur that is was not a sonic...

For you bigger anchor afficianados, you might find these interesting. I came across them a few summers ago in a boneyard north of Kenai. For perspective, thats a stack of portable fence panels in the lower right. I presume these are used for platforms in Cook Inlet, known for its EPIC tidal...

Hello All; Ive recently sold my 15 year old Raymarine electronics on eBay, with one exception, the radome. I hesitated to list it because Im not certain it would ship without damage. Is there anything to worry about? Is there a way to protect the inner workings before shipping? Ive already sold...

Ive got two Navionics compact flash cards I used with the C80 and C120 previously on our boat. One is "Vancouver Island" from 2005. Other is Navionics+ "US & Canada" I bought in 2018. I dont know what these are worth, but how about: $25 for the first, $50 for the second, plus $5 postage...

Ive got to replace my 3 gallon OB fuel tank due to cracking. In the past, Ive removed it from the dinghy before tilting up the RIB on Weaver davits. Are there any portable tanks out there that seal well enough to leave it in the vented forward locker while tilted? Is this as bad an idea as I...

Im need to get smart WRT our Hynautics steering system. Ive got to cut into the copper tubing to install a Shadow Drive valve and to tie in the new Garmin autopilot pump. Ive got no direct experience with pressurized hydraulics, but have a little mechanical aptitude (ie I successfully repowered...

Hello All; Ive been lurking here for a couple of years, from about the time we sold our last sailboat and bought a new to us North Pacific 34. This site has been an enormous help to me as Ive learned about, fixed, and modified systems and components on the boat. So first of all, THANK YOU to...
