Ballot sent. And all you WA residents dont forget you can check your ballot status online to make sure it was not rejected! Nigel

Hah! Modern rifle season just wrapped up here. Next year I’m considering taking the cdory to hunt black powder in a very remote and largely inaccessible place in the hopes of avoiding fellow hunters and the crazy behavior I saw this year. Covid really brought out the intensity! 2020 marches...

I have an ‘18 expedition with the ecoboost. Zero problems with power, 4x4 is adequate for ramps so far and driving in unplowed mountain snow. Having the covered rear seats is nice for keeping kids from having to ride to town in the bed like it’s 1972 and as an added bonus it rides better than...

A shovel for a day or two and a bucket? We have thousands of gallons of water above ground. Neighbors have handlines with pumps that could blow a hole through a c dory and shoot water into the next county. These are not campfires creeping through the damp Florida undergrowth, they are raging...

I know the news likes to use footage of large ranch houses burning and interview people as they are trying to relocate cattle or fleeing burning neighborhoods of large and expensive homes, but many of the people displaced locally probably don’t own their homes. They certainly cant swing 1000$ a...

We had a REALLY bad day last week in Okanogan county. I was relaying information on hotspots to people up on sawtooth ridge, Chelan, loup loup pass, and around the Methow as reports came off the McClure HAM repeater. No lightning that day, just high winds and extreme conditions combined with...

Does not answer your question Harvey, but as a variation on ye ole bucket we are using a 5 gallon with a gamma seal lid and keep a small jug of sawdust on board. Do the business, top with sawdust, screw lid back on (loose enough to let pressure out). It lives in the cockpit and moves to the...

I was a Cathodic protection tech for awhile. Worked on pipelines, water towers, and also did a lot of work underneath Seattles waterfront. (It’s surprisingly cozy under the piers). I agree with Bob’s wisdom and experience. Any metal not immersed in a medium (soil, water, etc.) will receive...

Y’all keep gun racks on your boat!? Dang Texans...😂 (Sorry couldn’t help myself) Hope you are safe and hauled out for any weather with the storms comin in !

Howdy Zepp, Where is the fuel leaking? Does the motor fire up easily after sitting for a night? Could be a lot of things but before tearing into anything major I’d start with an inspection of the cheapest and most accessible parts that can stall a motor or leak: gas cap, fuel lines, filters...

That also makes perfect sense to me!

When i’m doing 15kts I feel like I’m hauling butt and seems like I could spin a prop on a deadhead at any time. 80hp on a 22’ and I hope to never need to go 20+ because that means something nasty is chasing me and i’m out of things to throw at it. Seems like theres always something floating...

Hah! Yes that occurred to me shortly after posting. Thank you all for the replies.

Alright thanks sir! Is it normal For the prop to be a little stiffer at first after what i’ve done?

So I pulled my lower unit to swap out an impeller and decided to pull the prop and inspect the seals. The outer seal looked terrible. I am a long way from any marine mechanic and do not have the proper tool to remove the prop shaft so I did the 5th or 6th best thing: i picked the worn seal out...

Thank you all for the details. Nigel
