Nice cars! I have always liked those.

FYI if anyone else is interested, I am looking at changing CAV filters to spin on for my FL 120 and will order two of these...

Great! I am just getting ready to do the same upgrade, my flybridge radio is dying and I have been shopping the GX1850. What did you do for an antenna?

FYI they work great for killing moles, just find their tunnel and stuff one in there... two birds with one stone.

Keith, thanks. I was worried rope would back up in the pipe and not work. That link should take you to 8-10 pictures, not sure why it is not working on your end, maybe try scrolling down? thank you

Ahh OK well thank you! that saves me beating my head against the wall. I look at a VDO solution, do you don't happen to have the part numbers handy? I bough this temp gauge over a year ago and I don't even remember where I got it, luckily I only have to eat ~$30 or so. thanks again

I have 30ft or so of chain then line after that. What angle of pictures would help better?

Hi All, My windlass setup is driving me nuts! The chain locker hole (port?) is to the right and behind of the windlass so it takes two people to pull the anchor. One to run the windlass and one to push the rope down the hole. Does anyone have a better setup? I have 1980 34 CHB. See the pictures...

Hi All, I am having an issue with my upper help temperature gauge. The boat is 1980 34 CHB with a 120 Ford Lehman. For the past number of years the upper help gauge hasn't worked so I picked up a Sierra 80590P and finally installed it see...

thanks for the links, Orca is just down the street! that will come in handy when I need to replace my coolers

If you want something a bit different, watch this bloke fix up an old 14ft rib and drive it around England with zero boating knowledge https://youtu.be/E8ECm7k1jzY

Hi Jim and Rosy, I love your videos! keep on cruising and posting.

Ask for a disabled spot, Friday harbor will give you one right on the loading dock next to shore! my grandparents use to do that

I agree, but the issue with algal fuels was also getting the right species to grow. Basically a few companies had great success at the beaker stage, but when you move to open ponds other species take over the pond and you get very little product. A few companies have used this tech to create...

I know that kelp bed off Indian cove! I have never anchored overnight in Indian Cove, now is it? Have been ashore at the county park? We have 1980 CHB 34 and keep her in Anacortes

yup I would drive it up!

We have a live aboard next to us and we love it! He keeps a clean boat and uses it. I am super happy to have someone next to my boat 24 x 7

If you watch Cruising Sea Venture, they just went from Washington to Alaska, seems fine for just a pass through cruise. At the same time I know folks in Bella Bella that are watching every bay in the area to watch for Americans and Canadians in their territory

the button is where the stop lever connection to the fuel injection pump. In my experience, yes you move the throttle forward, then I normally push the stop lever forward, then push the cold start button. Let go of the stop lever, pull the throttle back down to ~10-20% and fire it up.

Not the best image but see if this works one more

Nice about the same at Cap Sante

We just run a battery powered bluetooth speaker, the battery last something like 12 hours and I can charge it easily. The boat came with an old tape desk and huge mounted radio shack speaker that I pulled off the wall. This is a good unit for the $$...

What yard is that? We are next to Anacortes Marine Services and I think they are more than that.

Hi All, thanks for the feedback. We don't have a genset and typically stay at anchor or powerless dock for two days max. With no BMS it is hard to tell how far we run the batteries down. But our power draw is mostly the freshwater pump and nor cold below counter fridge. All of our lights are LED...

I rebuilt mine this winter, it is pretty easy with the factory kits. Not sure what the Syten H-10 system is though, I have a Wagner helm pumps. For my helms the factory rebuilt kits include a gasket and all the o-rings for $50, so $100 for both helms, beats thousands to replace with new units...
