22 Cruiser = floating VW camper.

Just a thought, my Honda developed a "clicking/rattle" only at higher RPMs & turned out to be play in the rear cowling latch.

I have & use both Navionics & Garmin on my iPad. Use Garmin the most for the Active Captain info on marinas & anchorages. Have the iPad on a Ram suction mount, works great.

Knot Flying Check in with KingfisherII, I sent him an email. Did the TS & Georgian Bay last summer with a launch & storage in Port Severn at the Driftwood Cove Marine Resort.

Cattlejack, you can go to the RF-246 owners group on Yahoo & get the other side of the story. There are several there that were previously C-Brats.

I always thought the reason to wire the Wallas directly(fused) to any battery was to prevent an interruption of the shut-down(cool-down) sequence.

I fully agree with Rick's observations on a fine cursing adventure. Canadians have high priced booze, beer & gas. Still, I'm ready to do some more cursing in Canada (St John River, Bra Dor, 10000 Islands).

El & Bill, We've never met but would be honored to "share a lobster" (or two) with fellow C-Brats. We have a cottage near Winter Harbor, about 90 minutes southwest of Eastport & plan to be there 6/29-7/4. Dun & Becky of Crescent Girl, whom you've met have a place in Trenton & might be available...

My v-berth foam was saturated from a leak due to the notorious screws on the brass strip on the bow. With the bow down on the trailer water was actually dripping from one of the lower screws. After removing the 2 adjacent screws water also dripped from one of these. You might remove a couple to...

No buses or campers but a '68 squareback while stationed in Germany, then a '72 notchback in USA then a '84 Beetle "heco in Mexico" while stationed back in Germany. Enjoyed all of them & they were the first to start on cold German AMs vs the neighbors' BMW or Mercedes.

When I added my stern bilge pump I just ran the discharge up & out through the boot with the rest of the control cables and over the edge of the splash well so no hole through the hull.

I have the same remote control and find it very useful for my type of anchoring & going ashore, along with clearing the occasional windlass jamb while single handing. I too was concerned about accidental launching so I have a off/on switch in the power supply to the receiver unit mounted next to...

For thirteen years I've used no additives in the fuel. I've parked Widget for the winter with tanks full, tanks empty and in between. Every spring the Honda 90 starts with no issues. Thats just me to quote DD. I believe the additives are snake oil (or some other petroleum product that makes no...

I launch singlehanded all the time & frequently at ramps that have no float alongside here in Maine. Never get my feet wet either. Would be almost impossible without guide posts unless you have the long side bunks. I also added side guides/mini bunks at 1/4 back of the bow. See the first page in...

Changed from manually pulling 1/2" 3 strand to Lewmar V700 & 8 plait & chain. Does fine with the 8 plait, occasionally the professionally done splice jambs, but a quick reversal & good to go. No need to assist other than occasionally spreading the 8 plait pile in the locker.

Blake, Checkout Valkryie's album for his porthole installation.

I installed a hinged style bow roller as referenced above, but had a local machinist drill for a ball detent lock pin to be installed to lock it in the up position in case the tilt ability was not needed for my particular anchor (which it was not needed). Can be pulled out, is on a SS cable so...

May be not much of a deterrent, but at least proof to file a claim for stolen goods.

Scott, As Rick said, nice to have another Brat in Maine. That was a pretty long cruise to Bar Harbor. We have a mooring across Frenchman Bay from Bar Harbor, but like to do a lot of our cruising around North Haven & Vinalhaven. There are pictures in Widget's album of enlarged steps copied from...
