The previous owner had a live bait tank on a little table on the splash well & a thru hull in the transom for the pump. I took all that off & put in a new thru hull in the same hole. My wash down pump is mounted to the inside of the transom, just above & to the left of the bilge sump between the...

Read a post recently about the spots on the windows. Tried a commercial glass cleaner.. Nothin! Tried CLR..nothin. Bought the boat in 2008 & always had problems with spots.Used bartenders friend & 2 coats of rain x, absolutely wonderful!! They have never been this clean & clear. It looks like...

I only use my boat for fishing & consider my anchor a last ditch tool to keep me off the beach in case of some sort of engine or electrical failure. My commercial fishing friends suggested a rock anchor for fishing ling & rockfish as here I fish mostly on the St. George reef. I made a rock...

Declination is set on my compass so I'm going with magnetic, but that's just me! Vern

After puzzling for some time, posting a few times, searching the net & working the formula a few times, the 19a Ari sent the info I was looking for. Still having questions about boat capacities, I happened by the Crescent City coast guard station while enjoying a beautiful day at whaler island &...

Ya gotta admit though, she's a cute little thing ,roomy too. Vern

Kinda looks like those stanchions were an attempt to make the boat a walkaround. Sure makes it hard to fish from but maybe that's what the stern pulpits are for! Kinda spooky though! I too hope he's not reading this stuff!! Vern

That's one homely addition!!! Can't imagine that doesn't put some unwanted stresses on the transom not allowed for in the original boat design let alone all the attachment points that would be required. Vern

Hi kids. I noticed a few months back that the national weather service forecasting office in Eureka, calif has decided to be the only noaa forcaster between Canada and Mexico to discontinue including wind waves in their marine weather forecasts. They used to predict wind waves & swell heights...

Good advise Geo. 35 on a 14? OMG!!! Vern

Thank you gentleme for the replies. I had 5 guys & 5 crab pots in the boat once! Never do that again!! Anyway, I feel better now. I have an email to the factory requesting a capacity plate so I can be legal. Dr Bob, as for how you stack that many people. I guess it's like the old joke, how many...

That's the same calculation I used. If their example of 10, x 30, divided by 15 equals 20 people, can you still stack 20 people on the boat if the boat had 3 200hp motors & don't forget the 300 gallons of fuel to feed them. There's something that doesn't compute here! This 15 watt bulb is still...

Hi kids. When I bought my 2004 19a the only capacity sticker on it was the remnants of a hp maximum of 100 hp. Law requires any boat under 20' to have a load capacity plate. Using the formula, I can Carry 9 people but I can't figure how to stack them. If my motors,batteries,brackets & controls...

Congrats on the new boat. She's a fine lookin ride, but then I'm kinda partial to 19s. I first tried the mini jacker but didn't see how in was going to work so sold it & went with garlick adjustable. I never swim in the ocean so I'd take off the swim platform & install on the port side. I have a...

I also switched from teleflex to Baystar hydraulic steering. I really like it. Vern

When I first got my 19 I had problems with excess water sloshing around on the deck that made rubber boots a requirement. I briefly considered the addition of floorboards. I could pump out most of the water but it would soon be back. I finally found the source of the problem in the bilge pump...

I put mine on the transom. The previous owner already had a thru hull fitting there about 4" higher & about 6 or 7 " to the left of the drain plug. He had his pump for a live bait tank there. It's up off the deck & out of the way there & I ran the sprayer hose up into the port lazerette. Works...
