    Dinghy boarding from a C-22

    I would suggest securing the dinghy to the grab handle on the side of the cabin and to the aft cleat. Fenders along side, as well. To enter the dinghy you can then either put a short ladder with gunnel hooks over the side into the dinghy. Or you can sit on the gunnel and then move and sit down...

    Moving battery bank to galley

    This a great informational thread. I am seriously thinking of putting LiFePO4 in my 25 Cruiser. I would be installing 2 100 ah batteries or a single 230 ah. What would be helpful, to me at least, is a wiring diagram that includes: -Fuses and where they should be located -Fuse amperage at each...

    Lifting 23' off trailer to paint.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE8l7o-c8lY When I repainted the bottom of our 25 I did it the hard way. Borrowed 3 bottle jacks and placed 2 under aft corners on blocks to raise them off ground. Made a cradle for bow and placed 3rd jack under that and jacked up. Made sure I spread the load...

    Westport Wa.

    Think about joining SnoKing Puget Sound Anglers. Ron Garner, mentioned above, just did a presentation at their June meeting on fishing Westport for salmon. I was not in attendance. He's at every meeting, so you could introduce yourself and join and gain a lot of knowledge. Several members there...

    Marine head repair

    I don't know sh*t about it. :) It may be time to go with a composting head. We put an Airhead in our boat and it is wonderful. Upfront cost, yes, but simplicity and convenience. No more planning for a pump out or looking for one. Also, no parts to buy.

    2024 SE Alaska cruise with 13 year old granddaughter

    Wrenny, You'll look at that book years from now and remember exactly the time, place and circumstances surrounding what happened to it. That is really priceless, in my opinion. Did you realize that some of the best ideas and memories come from the times that we are not in our normal routine...

    New (used) lower unit, a new noise, an other variables

    There's also a thing called "prop sing." Google it and you'll learn a bunch. Might be what you have with that noisy prop. On a another boat I had, changed to a different prop and it made noise at a certain rpm. No noise under and above that rpm range.

    Oh Boy, getting excited here! Just brought home the boat from Sportcraft Marina in Portland with a brand new Suzuki 175! Old Honda 150 gave it up out at Sekiu fishing so we got her a new motor a couple years early! Happy that Jay and Jolee are out at Sucia already. Super excited that the...
