I love the 22 anglers, I look at this boat and I can't help but think of how I could turn this boat into a sweet ride. I know it won't go for anywhere near the present bid of $3,200 but if it were to go cheap it would make a great project for some energetic person. My heart says "Let's have a...

SoBelle, On my last boat, a 25' Atlas Acadia, I used a stainless steel snap hook the was fixed to plastic encased SS cable which was run thru the forward cleat and crimped in place. The bitter ends were encased in shrink wrap tube so as to not cause any chaffing or bow lines being wrapped...

Clay, I have considered just putting a squeeze bulb in line, but the tank holds near a gallon of fuel so that's a lot of pumping from the bulb. I figured if it doesn't work I'll just carry a gallon with me to refill with. The vented cap brings up another question. If the replacement cap...

Thanks John and Bob. I believe if I tap into the the fuel line near the racor filter that I may be able to keep the rise near 12". If I find a 90 degree hose barb to cap adapter it would help to minimize the rise also. I'm considering a quick disconnect rather than a valve to reduce fittings...

Donald, if you are buying a new dingy then the foot pump is made for the dingy and should be quite adequate. If you have some sort of physical limitations then maybe the electric pump may help. I have a 9' boat that i pump with the foot pump. It takes a few minutes to do but I've usually go...

John, or anyone with experience with the hose cap for the Honda generators. How would i get the fuel from the tank under the floor to the generator? It would seem to me that it would require a fuel pump to push the fuel up to the cap. I have the eu2000i generator on a platform similar to the...

Waypoint, Is that 30amp socket putting lout 30 amps with the 2200 companion or is there another eu2200I in line? Also, do the engines tilt all the way out of the water with this arrangement? Nice work, looks professional.

Colby there are lots of choices, here are a few that you can pick and choose from. Start at Port Orchard marina, with foot ferry to Bremerton, then to Paulsbo, Kingston, Edmonds, Bell Harbor on Seattle waterfront, then Blake island, Gig Harbor, Anderson Is or Johnsons point or Boston Harbor...

SSBOL, you're correct. It is my understanding that if the belt breaks while running that the cam shaft stops turning but the crankshaft will continue to turn. As a result timing is thrown off and as a result valves and push rods get bent by the piston pushing up into the valve and any number...

Looking on Utube for the answer as to whether the BF90 has a belt or chain. The best i could find is that the change over between belt to chain was somewhere around 2006 when they reconfigured the entire engine. One video I saw was for a 2005 BF 90 timing belt change out. so they still had a...

If this were my project I would be more inclined to cut out a rectangular area to 1, be able to assess the entire problem as to weather you have rot and how extensive it is and 2, it will give you good access to dry it out and replace any balsa if required. I'm not a fan of drilling holes and...

JamesTXSD Another option is that the Swinomish Casino and Lodge now has a new Rv Park at the top of the Swinomish Channel on Padilla Bay. Look nice from what you can see driving by. There is also a boat launch on the other side of the Bridge crossing Swinomish Channel. It's located under the...

We've all been there, searching for the right C-dory to fit our wants and needs. Searching near and far and using various search mechanisms. I always considered the hunt part of the package, when you go hunting you don't always bag what you went after but had fun doing it. Something that has...

Thanks Gary, good info for planning a transit thru the rapids. So basically, add a 1/2 hour to the tide chart at Pt Atkinson to get the slack current at Malibu. It appears that the chart is in Pacific Standard Time and I suspect that we will be on Day Light Savings Time by them so spring ahead...

I've been following the conversation on the after cruise (cruises) that folks have mentioned, Chatterbox Falls, Inside Passage going north and am interested in making some sort of trip. Gary, you posted info on the tide chart at Malibu rapids. Just wondering if there is a current chart for the...

Salmon Fisher, you mentioned launching at Coronet Bay, I was wondering if you had to have a special state parks pass to use this facility. I've stayed there several times by boat using my state parks boating pass but I'm uncertain in you have to have a Discover Pass to use the facility if...

We had a pretty good blow up on Vancouver Island over the Christmas holiday. A few ferry runs were cancelled from Nanaimo to Vancouver but we managed to get on a later boat when they started running again. Made for a long day coming home to Port Orchard. I don't believe I would have been...

Bob I can relate to how this may have happened on I-10. I towed a 21' Atlas Pompano from Ram Rod Key Florida to Washington state. I had arranged to Tom at Atlas Boat Works to purchase a tandem axle trailer and have fitted to accept the 21' and he arranged that for me. We loaded the empty (no...
