Thank You guys...!!!

I'm planning to cruise up river. Does anyone know of a good place to leave the truck and trailer for 10 days or so near a launching location in the vicinity of Portland?.

Harvey, I join the others in thanking you for the "report". It made me wish I was 40 years younger... Bob, I'm with you the those tri's will be tough to beat, but the Proas are my sentimental favorites. Fair winds to the fleet...!!

Good work. Thank You for sharing. Say hello to Bernie for me Cheers, Pedro

A good friend of mine who is very experience sailor/skipper named Lee Creekmore lost a crew member during the squall. Lee is devastated , to say the least. The man fell over the side, and was being towed by the boat while hanging onto a line, but the crew couldn't bring him aboard. My personal...

Colby; The EV pump does not take its direction from a flux gate or earth magnetic field, but from the Gyros feeding information to the controller. When the boat is in the water you will find the rudder/motor will function in direct relation to the motion at the time, and in accordance to mode...

Colby; Send me a private message, and i'll send you pictures of what I did, for whatever it's worth. Stay out of the cold... Pedro

I was able to install the pump , its plumbing and the electrical breaker in the Starboard lazzarette. Hydraulic lines actually fit quite nicelly. The third hydraulic line is a low pressure return line. By the way, the compression fittings supplied with the kit are very good, just make sure you...

Colby; I have had an EV 100 for a couple of years, it works well. I suggest you buy the kit recommended by the raymarine service person, it will save you a lot of time and frustration. I would also suggest you place all the components on the bulkhead where the helm is located. Make sure all...

Please include C-Casa. We look forward to seeing you again Cheers, Pedro

Beautifully written. I will have to follow you narrative . Thank You Very Much Pedro

Hello Cheers. I saw you yesterday afternoon cruising around Channel Islands Harbor, good looking boat. Addressing your battery question; I'm going to assume you have three batteries aboard. One dedicated to the refrigerator and the other two for starting and other miscellaneous electrical...

There are a number of places, both in the water or out of the water. Start with Miami Beach Marina, then try a couple of places in Crandon Park ( near Key Biscayne), there is also Dinner Key and Matheson Hammock. Enjoy the bay...!!!

Bob; Happy to hear you are safe, hopefully sleeping soundly now. My Best to you for the rest of the trip Pedro

Coincidental post... When I returned from a short cruise yesterday, I noticed the battery power cable deformed where it exits the rubber grommet at the motor and the upper part of the hydraulic ram in my 90HP Honda. Closer inspection revealed the negative wire had frayed at least 90% and was...

Hello Jim, Kath, et-al; Please sign-up C-Casa, I might end-up single-handling it, bringing the cheese and crackers and perhaps other goodies. Eileen is having back problems and doesn't want to push it, but has given me permission to go... At this point I haven't decided to travel along with...

Good points Thataway... The suggestion to increase the volume by increasing the diameter of the lines was given to me by the factory tech support people. While I can't scientifically verify the information, it made a noticeable difference in my Baystar with 90hp Honda. By the way, I decided on...

It would be good to know what brand and model of hydraulic steering you have. I suggest the following: 1. Make sure the fluid in the system IS NOT automotive transmission fluid, but instead a good quality hydraulic fluid, designed for this purpose. 2. Confirm that the fluid level is correct. If...

Hi Bob; I agree with you...It is going to take time a lot of solvents, rags, respirators, patience and will power. Cheers, Pedro

Yes the paint requires a brushing catalyst... "Brush/Roll: Mix by volume two parts Awlgrip Topcoat Base Component with one part Awlcat #3/H3002 Brushing Converter until one smooth, homogenous mixture is obtained. Reduce 10–33% with T0031. Overall mix is 2:1:1⁄3–1 by volume. Example: 8 oz. Base...
