I have the Icom. Very happy with it, functionally as well as ergonomically.

Sometimes you’ll find a check valve in the elbow at the top of the pickup tube on top of the tanks. . These valves have a tendency to freeze, because they c9mbine aluminum with a stainless steel ball. I suggest replacing the elbow.

Thank You guys for the great advise. I will go to Cathlamet and explore the sights and sounds from there. If things go according to plan, we should be i the area August 23 or 24

Hello guys, I have searched but haven't found any clear information on a location to launch and keep the truck and trailer for a couple of days in Astoria. I’m assuming the East end marina is the preferred place to dock, while afloat????. We like colorful restaurants... Am I better off...

Eileen and I are planning to be there on C-Casa. We’ll be able to solidify plans as the date gets closer.

Happy for you. Keep on exploring !!!!

I have one of the newer Honda 90’s , it does have the NMEA 200 capability, and can be used with either Digital or Analog gauges. It is a very nice engine, too fast for my taste....

Jim: I’ll call Pete today to find out if there will be space for us. I’ll let you know as soon as I know.

For me, I would forego Petaluma and add a 2-hour “fishing and release tournament” on the way to Napa from John’s club. Go from Napa to Vallejo, and then on to San Francisco. Having offered all those suggestions, I’ll be happy to go anywhere you wish to go as long as I can find a good...

My recommendation is to get a unit that matches the chart plotter, just like Bob suggested. In my boat I have a Raymarine instruments coupled to the Baystar system. The pump is located in the starboard lazzarete, next to one of the batteries, because I wanted the shortest possible distance for...

Hi Jim Please sign-up C-Casa. Let me know if we want to hand out at the yacht club in San Francisco, I think we can get Peter to host us again Looking forward to the trip. Pedro

Slocum also boiled his chronometer to keep it accurate 😉

My 2017 Honda 90 puts out all sorts of engine info to the Raymarine display. I have it configured to display: water temp, alternator voltage, fuel average flow, fuel actual flow, oil pressure and RPM. It uses the Raymarine compatible NMEA 2000 interface.

Colby, many thanks for the updates. If you guys go tomorrow, I’d suggest going past The Dalles and dock at Hood River. The yacht Club folks are great, and the town is good fun. Say hello to my friends in the group, and try to keep Bernie away from the tequila. Keep writing,,,!!!

Bob: I was 6 years-old in 1952, had not hear a word in English and only knew wooden boats and cotton sails... During the last 50 years or so, I never been able to match gelcoat.

The Baystar system does not have the power to reliably operate two motors, according to the factory tech.

Two years ago, we spent 4 days searching for a good weather window between The Dalles and the Cascades locks. The wind and rough water conditions made for a very uncomfortable causing our return to Dalles on three consecutive days. We ended-up going following behind a barge full of grain at 6...

Great work Floyd...!!! Thank You for the memories
