Here's how I did it. You can be a lot neater with the application of 5200, of course. And then I secure them thusly.

I just saw a green C-Dory CC on the 56th Street overpass in Tacoma headed West. Probably the same one in the original post. That's probably the third one I've seen around in in the last 10 years.

Thanks, Bob. I have a schematic from Diamond Sea Glaze showing how the glass is laid into the door, and that's why I was curious who to take it to that could remove and replace it. If the sealant is that strong between the frame and cabin, I might just leave it in place and paint. I was...

I have some corrosion around the hinges, lockset and latch on both the door and frame. So I plan to remove them this winter and have them re-powder coated. Has anyone ever removed an all glass door? I'm curious how hard it is to remove the frame, given whatever sealant was used. And where...

Ensure the downrigger says Scotty on it. 8)

And don't forget the backing plate under the gunnel.

If you're using Scottys (preferred) with 60" booms, go with position #2. If you're using the shorter 24" booms, then go with position #1. What Saxe Point said about kickers and turns and such is spot on. With that said, using a pot puller in position #1 would be a pain in the backside, so I'd...

Thanks for the replies and help. I'm connecting them to the battery selector switch, and I'll put the inline fuse near the switch.

I'm wiring in some new downriggers. The manual says to put an inline fuse no more than 7" from the battery. Does it matter if the fuse is closest to the battery or the downrigger plug? If so, why? In the old wiring I had the fuse close to the downrigger. I'm wondering if I was wrong all...

Yup.

I had four onboard, fished 3 pots, and got all of ours on the first pull. It was a nice day for shrimping for a change, this year. Tomorrow is going to be even better.

The people using the Ladner-style make a great point about being stackable. Although we're allowed 4 pots per boat, I only use 2 when just my wife and I go. We easily get our limits with just one pot each. If we take another person or 2, we'll throw in a third pot. I have a cooler rack in...

I don't what you call them, but those little rice things wrapped with Spam are awesome! I bought a few from the Shoppette while at Schofield Barracks, and if they're good at a place like that, they gotta be super good from a native Hawaiian.

Go with McKay pots. Add weight if you're fishing the San Juans. You don't see McKay pots on commercial boats, perhaps, because McKay doesn't build the volume of pots to support a commercial fleet, or they don't want/need that scope of business. I fish out of Westport all summer where there...

Harvey, What is the shelf life when packaged that way?

Does the 23 have the same hull design as the other tugs? I've never seen a Ranger out in the ocean, but one of the reps at the show told me there's a guy in Portland that takes his out for tuna. I couldn't imagine all the tuna blood in the cockpit of a Ranger. I'm curious to hear how they...

Like the Doc said, you need a gyro compass. My guess if you're using a Raymarine AP that uses the GPS for maintaining the heading. That means you have to maintain a fast enough speed over ground (SOG) for the computer to make its calculations. I have the Garmin GHC 10 AP that uses a gyro...

If you do enough of that, the v-berth won't be an issue. :beer :cocktail

A little more fish porn. The white salmon was pretty interesting. That's a vacuum sealed portion of the others we caught sitting next to it. We were told that they are truly wild fish from some river near Gold River, but I can't find anything to corroborate that story, so I ain't buying it. I...

White Spring from Nootka
