We have not cut out our bulkhead, but I did install these seats with a swivel and they are so much more comfortable than the original seats. Both traveling and while anchored. More pics in my album if you are interested.

When we bought are Yamaha 90 the dealer said to drive it like you stole every once in a while to keep the engine running clean and we also use Yamaha ring free all the time. We have had no problems.

There is a wood panel product (Called cabinet backer when I purchased it) that is a ply wood panel that comes with a white laminate covering both sides and is used for the inside of cabinets mostly. I used this when I remodeled the kitchen of our house. The left over pieces worked great for...

We have had our 22 Cruiser for 9 years now. Had a Honda 90HP originally and re powered with a 90HP Yamaha a few years ago. We travel fully loaded from Sequim to Desolation Sound and the Discovery Islands and also use it for fishing in the Strait of Juan De Fuca as well as off shore when...

We also use the Pivoting Self-Launch Roller. It works really well. The other thing about this type of roller is that the anchor rides a lot lower When it is up, allowing for better viability while running.

After a long trip in the salt or mooring our boat in salt for a few weeks, I flush the motor through the flush port for half hour and then I run the motor in a 100 gallon stock tank with salt away. I let it run for about a half hour and then let it soak in the salt away tank over night. The next...

I took those panels out of ours when we first got it 7 or 8 yeqrs ago. Just seems like excess weight to me. I like being able to see my fuel level clearly and provides easy access to change fuel filter and a little extra storage room for soft items on top of the tanks. The poly tanks are pretty...

I have a Solas 4 blade prop that I ran on our Honda BF90A on our 22 cruiser. SOLAS 1413-128-17 Aluminum 4-Blade Propeller - RH, 12.75" Diameter x 17" Pitch It ran very nicely on our 22. Could be a good spare. We repowered with Yamaha and no longer need it. Located in Sequim.

Not too long ago someone was looking for entry/Exit steps for their cockpit. While I have no leads on a store bought set of steps I thought I would share the steps that I made for our boat. They hang on the gunnel and lift off easily. they are never in the way but always there when you need them...

We have the same windlass and use the same 1/2 inch three strand and 1/4 inch chain and it works great.

We took at trip to princess Louisa and desolation sound a few years ago and after three weeks in the water I was shocked to find barnacle growth completely covering the bottom and quite a bit up the sides and transom too. Areas and marinas that have low exchange rate and high temperatures can...

I love the Dexter easy lube axles on my land trailers. Just jack the wheel off the ground and spin the wheel while you pump new grease in to it. I have never had them on a boat trailer and don't think I would ever want them as there is too much potential for water intrusion. If I had a boat...

I've worked worked on a few trailers too. I don't like grease leaking out or water leaking in, so I installed them all the way around on ours.
