Plastic cover is how mine is set up. If you use the hose conection beware that it is just a flush conection and the engine is not to be run when being flushed. If you use ear muffs and flush you can run the engine. This is the information I was given from the repair shop when I asked about...

To all "brats", I enjoyed the time I spent in Masett this July the fishing was fun with no weather related problems. The Kings did not cooperate but limits of large for the time of season silvers kept us busy. I was unable to get a slip and had to put the boat in and out every day at a marginal...

Brats, Does anyone have an old 1 gb Navionics sd4/13Xg card they no longer need or use? It covers Northern B.C. and Southeast Alaska I am told from a representative of Navionics. I would be interested in buying it if you do. I have an LCX104C chart plotter that came with the boat when I...

What is your source in this matter, it may be helpful to me as I am looking for a 1 gig card for my lowrance unit. I bought what I thought was going to give me the charts needed only to find that the files are too big for my lcx104c to read. It blows my chart plotter up when I put the chip in...

Have only had to use an eight horse one time to limp home on after the main lost steering ability. I would never go off shore as I do with out a back up.

My house battery is located between the fuel tanks an I like that location. I wish the other battery was located there instead of in the starboard gunnel hatch. Dan

Great advise New Moon, this trip will be an adventure without big water crossings. I will do it in small building block steps, the first step is to get familiar with the local area.

Leon, I thought about doing the run from Prince Rupert to Masset in the boat but some in the party raised concerns about an eighty plus mile run in open water. I am sure I will be back in future years and most likely will start my trip from Prince Rupert.

Booked the campsite at Hidden Island today. We will be there starting the 3rd of July. Still working on getting a slip to keep the boat at, it would seem that you have two options other then launching every day, first be lucky enough to find a private slip, or combat moor at the government dock.

Boris, I have a LCX-104C fish-finding sonar & mapping gps, it had a LGC-12W gps receiver that functions as a antenna for the unit. I replaced the antenna that had failed with a Evermore SA-320 NMEA 0183 Smart gps antenna from spares marine, yes they are in the UK and that was not an issue at...

Lowrance gps antenna replacement has been completed and is now functioning as it is supposed to. It took a few emails to Sparesmarine to get it working but they were most helpful. I would recommend them with out any reservations.

Still waiting to hear from Lowrance but have purchased a replacement gps antenna. It should take care of the issues I was having. I will update after I make the install with the replacement part information. So that others can get one if needed. From my research this issue is very common and...

Feeling your pain on this one, I am presently stuck in the loop of gps module not responding on my Lcx-104c. It has failed to lock on to satellites before and I just reboot it with a "auto search" and it would be fine for a day or a year or an hour. It was frustrating but manageable. Saturday it...

The transducer I replaced works just fine, I went crabbing yesterday and it worked like brand new. The screen could be set so that the crab pot and line could be seen as you lowered the pot and place it with confidence. Three limits (15) crab in several hours. The day was not all roses...

I have been looking to find information regarding clearing customs when boating. I have found that there is a service called svrs for clearing customs for entering the U.S. at Port Angles and another service called Canpass for entry in to Canada. My question to you is are they helpful? Is it...

Wapiti, I will try that next, you would think that the port authority would have there act together. I have tried their e-mail address and by phone with no success at this point. Dan

Wandering Sagebrush, I have spoke with Ken before on the subject and e-mailed him earlier this week but have not heard back from him as of yet. We have traded information on fishing areas for Ucluelet. Dan

I will be taking the ferry from Prince Rupert to skidgate. I could do it from Prince Rupert but the group decided to forgo the 80 mile trip having not traveled that kind of distance solo before. If we were buddy boating with someone else it would have been a nice cruise. Dan
