Welcome Juanasi Labrador is incredible. I have fly fished on the upper Eagle River when my Dad was a founding member of Camp 1155 there. Beautiful! Sorry I don't have any answer to your prop question but I'm sure someone here will. Cheers Tom

Hello Bob, I am including a link to a fishing guide here in CR. His name is Fred. He has been a friend of mine and my next door neighbour for many years. He is also a very productive fishing guide. The only drawback may be that he books up quickly. He has two large welded aluminum boats (not...

This is on behalf of my then sixteen year old son.......not saying I haven't had any bloopers. I have but...... I am going out of town to a boat show. My sixteen year old son, with his new drivers license and freedom asks if he can take the 12' lake boat and motor and my truck to a lake to go...

Here's an update. Martin, as per Stuart's recomendation, I detached the overheat sensor from the stove body (two little screws)and let it hang freely away from the unit. After that I started up the unit and it ran continously until I shut it down an hour and a half later. Conclusion: Faulty...

Ron: You seem to be in the minority of those who have never had "Wallas Woes". I like the machine too but wish it was simpler. We have had a few occasions over the years where we did not know if the thing would work or not. We did manage a quick trip to PL last summer between our two work skeds...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. :thup Steve: Thanks for the info. I had read others say that Mike was good to talk to. A Fishin C: I remember Martin saying that too. I think they are neighbours or something. Bob: I'll try the air bubble trick. Ron: Thanks for the Victoria number. Good idea...

Hi everyone, I know this has been bashed around forever but.....I've read as much as I can about Wallas problems and I still can't find anyone providing a solution to my problem. The specific problem is this......my 85DU Wallas stove starts up fine and heats up fine and runs fine for about 10...

Thanks everyone......and Dave, I don't know how I missed that one. Thank you for posting the link. My question has been answered....I think. Cheers, :beer Tom

Thanks for your replies. This leads me to another question. :?: Is it redundent and overkill to add Stabil Red to the fuel since it has already been treated with Stabil Blue or do they do totally different jobs? Cheers, :beer Tom

Does anyone know how long it takes for gasoline to go bad if it has been treated with ethanol stabilizer? I have 300 litres (80 us gallons) left in the fuel tank since August. I am worried that I may not get to use it up before it goes off. I use mid-grade gasoline too if that makes a...

I have the "Bulldog" attachment for the Ace Hauler. I love it. :thup So glad Ace came out with that as it is now truely hands free. Cheers, :beer Tom

I agree with most of the replies. You do not necessarily need 4x4 but it sure is nice. I think that the automatic transmission is working very hard when pulling up from a steep ramp. To mitigate this I put my pickup in 4WD-LOW RANGE and there is so much low end torque that the truck just walks...

Thanks for the replies. Sunbeam: It has a hot dipped galvanized steel finish to it so I am guessing that it is a clone. I will look closely at it today to see if there is any name on it. A true Bruce probably has the name on it...right? Harvey: he anchor came with the boat and I never gave it...

I just noticed that one of the wings on my Bruce anchor is not shaped the same as the other. It is flared out a bit more than the other. Is that by design or has mine been bent? Can't imagine how it was bent or even if it is possible , given the thickness of the steel. Cheers :beer Tom

Hi again Glen, We just did that trip earlier in July and, as everyone says, it is spectacular and not to be missed. We had fantastic weather. We crossed the gulf diagonally from CR, past Sentry Shoal with nary a ripple on the water. We did 252 NM and all but about 3 NM was as flat as it gets...

Once again thanks to everyone for all the help and advise. I'll go buy some nice wood today. Cheers, Tom

Thank you for the replies. I did not know that it would not adhere well to starboard. Good thing I asked the question instead of charging ahead. Back to the drawing board, I guess, using wood. Cheers, Tom

Hi Brats, I was fooling around with some Starboard and made a nice little fishing rod holder that is to be mounted on cabin ceiling. I don't really want to drill any holes in the roof and was wondering if it would hold the weight of up 4 or 5 rods and reels if I just used 4200 or 5200. If I am...

Thank you all for your responces. Once again I have to say how much I appreciate the knowledge and advise brats are willing to share. You are a great resource. Sunbeam......you hit it right on. That is exactly what I thought of doing. I will also consider the other possibilities too as you guys...

Some time ago I saw someone's photo on this site where they had raised the helm seatback so it could fold down flat making the flat seatback a useable addition to the galley. I cannot find it now and I want to do something like that to our boat. The factory seat just doesn't fold very much but...
