If your spindle is worn you may need one of these repair sleeves to make it fit tight again. https://www.trailerpartsdepot.com/shop/ ... 0600#attr= This one may not be the right size for your spindle but they make them in all sizes and they press on over the existing spindle.

Standard pipe thread Teflon pipe sealant is often used on barbed fittings. It does two things. It acts as a lubricant to help a tight hose slide over the barb and it also helps to seal the fitting once it is clamped tight.

My electric wash down pump does 5.5 gallons a minute. This dual action diaphragm foot pump does 4 gal per minute and fits in the same place as the original rubber pump. It is not comparable to the standard rubber foot pump in performance.

A few weeks ago someone was looking for a way to flush their motor using fresh water tank. This is the set up that we use. I installed a Whale brand foot water pump a few years ago https://www.whalepumps.com/marine/produ ... t-operated It is a double diagram pump and pumps on both the down...

I just got this the other day and haven't used it on the water. I seem to be able to zoom OK, good enough to see what it is showing. Entire date shows clearly on bottom left and if you tap it calendar appears to select different date. Time shows clearly on bottom right and if you click on it you...

So, I just came across this current chart app for San Juans and Gulf Islands. It is the same info that is in the Waggoneer current tables in a phone app. Cost $20 and gives you Current data with or without internet and the one time fee covers you forever. Or at least as long as their in...

Another possible solution could be to adjust the steering trim tab located on bottom side of cavitation plate just above the prop. This can make a big difference in how a boat steers. If it is adjusted to far to one side it could be overloading the pump. Make very small adjustments to this...

Was your Gal. jug US or Imperial? A US gal. measures 3.78 liters and an Imperial gal. measures 4.54 liters. I was using gallon milk jugs filled to the top, and that would be US Gallons. I would think any vehicle/vessel that was made / sold in US would have all liquid capacities measured in US...

A few years ago I completely drained our water Tank on our 2004 C-Dory 22 cruiser. I then filled it one gallon at a time using one gallon jugs for the purpose of marking graduation lines on the clear vent tube so that we would be able to have an idea of the water tank level while on longer...

Here is an interesting article on travel to Princess Louisa. There are many experienced hands signed up for this trip but others that have not been there might find this helpful. https://salishseapilot.com/princess-lou ... 2023-04-07 We went there in 2019 and it was well worth the trip. Wish we...

I installed a fresh water wash down on our 22. Nice to have but it is amazing how fast it emptied the water tank. for the purpose of cleaning boat after fishing it didn't work out well for us since no access to refill water tank where we fish. I ended up taking it off and it is sitting on a...

I can tell you that we have been running 100' of chain on our 22 cruiser for quite a few years as well as 175' of three strand. The boat handles quit well with the weight. We have permatrim and trim tabs. and we have encountered very rough seas crossing the Juan De Fuca Strait, the Georgia...

I had to take my 2200 in for both recalls. Ive never had a problem with it other than that. the extra 200 watts gives the extra bit it needs to run the AC on my Travel Trailer after I installed a soft start on the AC. Never used it on the boat. It is obvious that these aren't intended for use on...

Just run and new + wire (red) from the hot side of the wiper switch on the DC panel to the + side of the wiper except interrupt that new wire with a push button placed in a convenient place. I have also done this. Original on/off wiper switches are left in place and I spliced in what is known...

First time Bottom Paint from Bitter End Boat Works

The Red boat is doing great. Just brought it home from Bitter End Boatworks with first time bottom paint, so no more scraping barnacles. Any regrets should be relieved, knowing that we were allowed one of the best investments of our lives. Sounds like you just made another great investment...
