I was just looking at the depths on a chart. No problem. He was looking for a way in this seemed like it would work. D.D.

Look for St Vincent Island and go thru West Pass which is just east of St Vincent Island seems pretty straight forward. Looks like you hang a right after you get through the pass and then a left following the cable area up on the chart to the buoyed entrance. You might have to zoom in a little...

In our travels to B.C. this year I could not help but notice the lack of pump out stations up in that area. Given the amount of boats that frequent the area, I would think a lot of waste just gets pumped out into their waters. Pump outs up there were 10 dollars and change. I can imagine how the...

Make sure you have all the charts of the area in your chart portfolio. Florida is much different than the northwest in terms of water depth. Make sure you depth finder is accurate figuring in your proper keel off set and that the shallow water alarm is set so t does not go off constantly! You do...

Larry, I would try shooting some spray penetrating oil in the oil where the set screw/s that you removed. If you get them off I would make sure to use marine rated never seize on the shafts for the next time. I would also lube the pivot points on the wiper arm. If they are stiff they will make...

Just a couple comments. I think the idea of composting toilets are great. But it still leaves you with having to deal with liquid waste. I they have a holding tank for liquids. The other problem as some users have noted that the diverter valve must be switched when doing the liquid thing. Some...

Well if you have not thought of a good reason to marry; a hitch spotter is not a good reason on it's own. Buy the rear view camera. But if you already are in the situation, putting them to useful purposes serves to enhance the over all investment. D.D.

Even cheaper yet. Have your wife stand back there and use basic hand signals. Use money saved towards your next set of tires. In Pa there was talk of fining folks who did not remove trailer tongues from the receivers if you where not towing anything. I would not want to have to deal with that...

We have bought two new boats both sight unseen in person. Just internet pictures and smoking deals. Everything he said about both of them came true. He is a busy guy. He sold the first boat I bought from him before I could get it down to him on a consignment deal. He will sell my current boat...

It looks like a pretty pricey setup to switch over on a tandem axle trailer. It looks like you have to use their hubs. Ill just stick with replacing the grease and wheel seals once in a while. They are readily available just about anywhere. Good luck with the new hot setup. We shall see if they...

The replaceable tin cups that are driven into the hubs have rubber dust caps that are removable. That's so you can add grease they are tight enough to seal out water seal out the water and hold the grease in. I think they would let any excess pressure be relieved before blowing a wheel seal. We...

We have axles that are drilled in such a way that they have a grease zerk fitting on the end of the axle and the grease when pumped in comes out behind the bearings. The hubs have a tin cup that you drive on to the hub and that has a rubber cap that allows you to remove it for inspection or to...

Ferg, I enjoyed your post. I hope your place is spared. I also hope the storm does not make a u turn and come back to whack Florida a second time. D.D.

I would look at Oak Orchard river area just north of Albion NY. Nice ramp, there, the Oak Orchard marina I think its called. and decent tackle shops in the area. The river has a T shaped break water as you enter the lake. Good brown trout, steelhead and salmon area. Quick access to deep water...

We had our C-Dory for five years. I never left the boat in the water for more than a month at a time. That was usually in the Florida keys usually February. I would thoroughly clean the bottom and wax the whole bottom with Turtle wax paste car wax before leaving for the keys. I always worried...

Jeez looks like quite an upgrade. We could have next Powell River gathering on this monster. D.D.
