I also have a 25 Cruiser (2007) and we love it. We also have the Lewmar windlass on the bow. I couldn't venture a guess as to how the stringer got moisture in it other than rain water and water that comes in with the rode. If your surveyor said not to worry about it then I wouldn't. That's...

I will be most interested to hear how that works out for you. I saw about the same set up in the Jackery for the same price. I will definitely give Bluetti a look and make some comparisons.

Thank you Tom, this is very useful information that you have compiled. By the sounds of it 2 200 w panels may be what is needed. Now to figure out how to configure everything in limited space.

Tom, I'm not exactly sure what this flame defuser is but if you could post a picture or the drawing maybe I or somebody could make one for you.

Thanks Rob. That looks like quite a system that would keep you out for as long as you want to be. I'm going to make the assumption that you power all your electrical needs with this system ie house lights, refrigerator, etc, as well as your freezer and that it is a built in system with solar...

I pretty much agree with Salmon Fisher. I'm afraid that the crack must be really close to the seal surface area and will be leaking seawater into the gear case. Which begs the question as to "What caused the crack"? Someone may want to harvest the parts even tho there isn't much there. I...

We presently use a 100 AH liFepo4 battery to run our portable ICECO freezer. The battery is charged by a Honda eu2000i generator when at the dock (if no electricity available) or plugged in to boat 12V when underway. It seems to me that it used a lot of battery overnight when keeping thing...

Yes, interesting that this topic just came up, as I was just trying to find the location of a member and had no luck. One used to be able to go to the profile of an individual and find their home town etc. I'm hoping that this feature will return. Still feeling my way around this new format...

Thank you for that. I would think that there might be a market for your step design. Probably wouldn't take long to assemble is you had a pattern and built 5 or 6 units at a time and sell them to needy Cdory owners. Again, nice job.

Very nice workmanship and practical design. How thick is the plywood? Did you use two sheets on the bottom step? Are those dowl pins and glued together? Could you provide dimensions if someone were interested? Thanks.

My first thoughts were; Thats a great idea, and Those corners need to be rounded out a bit. Maybe take a quarter and trace out the radius on those corners and cut them accordingly then round the sharp edges off. I agree with Tom, it may not be for everybody but if you are agile enough then...

Another proven method is to put a sheet of bounce fabric softener on any possible entry hole. I've been using this method for years in the 5th wheel trailer. For some reason mice do not like the smell of bounce and will not go near it. Haven't had a mouse in the trailer for many years since I...

We've got a 20 quart version. We go out usually for about 2 weeks at a time. When out on anchor I charge the 100ah Lipo4 battery using a honda EU 2000i generator . We use the cooler as a freezer for shrimp and salmon that is vacuum sealed. I works pretty well but it does uses a lot of...

The best product I've come across for removing fender dirt, grime, and anything a dock can throw at it is Starbrite RIB and INFLATABLE cleaner and UV protectant. Spray it on, let it sit for 30 seconds or so and wipe it off. It works amazingly well. Good luck

Thanks for posting the cleaner comparison video. I had heard that toilet bowl cleaner works for removing stains on a hull but have never actually seen the results. The video pretty much seals the deal for Lysol and at about 25% of the cost of everything else out there 'I"M IN".

Looking in the Raven photo album I only noticed 3 pictures of the the 2025 trip. I was wondering how you transitioned from Nootka Sound to Esperanza Sound. I once stayed with a friend at his condo in Tahsis and we fished in and outside of Esperanza Sound. The trip from Tahsis to the mouth...

Donald, I don't think you'll have to remove the tanks. That fuel transfer pump will almost suck it dry. It's a lot like a bilge pump whereas the spinning impeller is right at the end of the run of the tubing its mounted on. Just lower it into the tank like you would a siphon hose, hit the on...

Donald wrote: "Schuster, If I am on top of it it is because of this group. Thanks for the testimonial. Did you remove your tanks to empty them?' My tank is a 100 gal tank under the cockpit floor , so no I did not have to remove it. I entered the tank via the fuel sending unit. Remove three...

When I purchased my boat in 2021 it had been sitting for a couple of years. It had the Honda BF150 engine and was the fuel injected model. One of the problems that I immediately encountered was bad fuel, about 50 gallons of it. It apparently was a not treated. It caused the high pressure...

Donald, glad to see that you're getting things figured out electrically on your boat. Part of the fun of new boat ownership is figuring out what you have while in the process of enjoying yourself. As far as the water intrusion issue goes ----- anyone who has owned a trailer boat for any amount...
