Who knows a handy inflatable dinghy to fit on the 22 Cruiser? How do you anchor and get to shore?

I am a retired firefighter. We used a thermal imagine camera both for building search and for locating hidden hotspots. Or spotting intense heat accumulating at the ceiling. Playing around between calls, we could spot footprints where someone had walked across the parking lot on a cold (Alaska)...

How does the FLIR identify moisture? How does one use it?

I thought Garmin's literature said I can download and use free NOAA charts in my Echomap UHD 74sv. Perhaps I misunderstood, because I can find nothing in the manual or menus about doing it. Has anyone discovered how?

Tyboo set up my photo album and I posted pics from the move to Alaska. The link is under my name at left. Thanks Tyboo! Yesterday I removed the old Humminbird fishfinder, transducer and speed wheel and installed the mount for a new Garmin Echomap 74sv chartplotter. This morning I drilled out...

Awesome, thanks!

Now I am hesitating because the one I got goes on with two-part epoxy. I see some go on with double-stick adhesive pads? I have a 90 HP Suzuki mounted mid-transom plus trim tabs. It's 18" from the centerline to the inside edge of the trim tab. The Hummingbird was mounted with the transducer...

I have a Stern Pad to use. Hopefully that will serve.

I have moved on to replacing the Hummingbird fishfinder with a Garmin chartplotter. That means replacing the transducer and a speedometer sensor screwed into the transom. Four screws in a more sensitive spot. Those I will fill with epoxy. I have a Dremel tool, but 14 hours drive from here...

Thanks for the good info! I will put expoxing holes on my long-term to-do list.

I took it all the way off and cleaned it up with acetone. It was obvious that the original construction was a dab of caulking under each screw; it was never drilled and filled with epoxy. Meanwhile the forward side of the tank is convex, maybe bulged with 16 years of pressure from the fuel. It...

The epic journey is over, and my new C-Dory is parked in Homer, AK. I feel lucky to have survived Interstate 5 in Washington. Towing the boat from Shelton, WA to the freight terminal in Tacoma, a tractor-trailer and I both tried to change lanes to the same hole in traffic. Happily, he...
