    Fishing and crossing the border is about to get easier.

    Basically the WDFW does not want you to catch a limit in Canada and then catch a limit in the US on the same day. On any day that you have reported to have fished in Canada you are not allowed to fish in the US. Of course if it isn't even open for fishing in the US it doesn't make much...

    fishing for Atlantic salmon

    Reports say they have been catching them off the beach at Port Townsend and in Sekiu/Clallam Bay and Neah Bay as well as some of the rivers. They are moving fast and in all directions, so they are probably heading to Canadian waters too. I was marking a lot of fish on my sonar while tending our...

    Can I use the main hydraulic system to steer a kicker?

    We use a tie rod the same as the one Pat is showing is bent and have had no problems with it. We have a 90hp Honda and tie it to a 8hp Honda and both motors are left in the down position while tied together.. We have many hours fishing in very nice to very rough waters. I would think that there...

    Lady Washington, Tall Ship Aground in Sequim Bay

    We were on our way out of Sequim Bay on Monday morning about 8:30 AM for a week in the San Juans and the lady Washington went aground right in front of us. They were actually in the marked channel but on the wrong side of it for a ship that size. At 11:30 AM there was a predicted low tide of...

    Vberth Storage Project-(bilge access)

    Bob You certainly could leave the screws and be OK. The reasons I would remove them and fill with epoxy are 1: this will provide complete encapsulation of the wood 2: It will leave a flush service on the V berth. The strength of a properly prepared epoxy bond will by far override the strength...

    Vberth Storage Project-(bilge access)

    Sounds like a really nice project you have going. I may do something similar myself if I ever get time. For your lip consider doing this. Use the wood not PVC, (Kiln dried Doug Fir is a good choice-Oak is not so good) as the epoxy will adhere to the wood much better. Dry fit the wood lip by...

    Interor Modifications

    Over the winter I worked on a couple of interior modifications. The first was converting the passenger seat to one that is identical to the helm seat. It is more comfortable than the dinette conversion seat. It is mounted on a swivel and the seat has been raised to sit at the same height as the...

    Mini-jacker with Lenco trim tabs question

    Just looked closer at my photos, and will look at my boat later tomorrow, but I just don't think there is anyway you could mount the kicker directly to the transom with 12" Lenco Trim tabs, and clear them, unless you have the kicker trimmed up pretty hi. At least not with the kicker and boat I...

    Mini-jacker with Lenco trim tabs question

    I Should add that mounted directly to the transom we always run our kicker tied to the main motor. If untied the housing of the kicker will make contact with the housing of the main motor before it reaches full lock to starboard. The only time I would possibly use the kicker untied would be in...

    Installing Honda 2000 or similar

    That looks like it was a nice install Bill. Where did you get those mounting brackets? I can think of a few things those could be used for.
