Fascinating...the same thing happened to me pulling out of Port Townsend Boat Basin today just beforenoon. I have the same GPS (a 125 with a C120), but didn't do anything to reset it. A few seconds later it came back. I figured it was the breakwater blocking the signal or something.... Mac...

Hooray! Took Island Ranger out yesterday from Sandy Hook (Cultus Bay, Whidbey), and cruised over to Edmonds to pick up our granddaughter for her first over night cruise. Ran into a large pod of Orcas on the way (just south of Foul Weather Bluff), first ever for us in Puget Sound. Spent the...

Humm...great minds..... I already tried it with boards, and bent a pole in the process when I was trying to get the boards back out while still underway. Sure is a lot of force on 'em! I tried it when the idle was high, and the boards were not quite big enough to have enough effect. They would...

Thanks for the ideas. I'd love to find the removable / quick release mounting bracket. That would be perfect. I've searched - and searched.... I tried dragging buckets - too big a pain - in the way. I had a trolling brake on an earlier boat so I am familiar with 'em. The prop is pretty deep...

I already checked with Ranger Jeff - and no - the trolling valve isn't available. I'm probably going to go with a small kicker mounted on the swim step, but can't find a motor mount that will fit and not interfere with the dinghy when it is mounted on the weaver davits I already installed. I...

Well...we tried trolling today and.... The good news -our crab traps had a good harvest - I'm boiling up the 8 crabs we collected today. And...with the idle down at 600 - 650, we can troll at 2.5 kts or so.... it sure is thumpy though. The speed was perfect for silvers - maybe a little quick...

yep - checked that. It is set on nm. Mac

I don't have a paddle wheel - so all my measurements are using the GPS. What I find really interesting...sitting at the dock, in completely calm water, you can watch the log count away - in increments of 6 ft (or is it 8?, I can't remember) - every second or two. That would have led me to...

Just had the engine serviced (350 hours) and Jerry adjusted the idle down to 600-650 rpm. I think it has been idling up around 800. Could be it is a little too slow - it rattles things about. But it sure does make a difference! I think there is a chance it will troll slow enough now - maybe not...

Don't know about the rest of Alaska, but you can easily do the Inside Passge from Seattle with the 75 gallon tank - depending on how you cruise. I won't list each stop (unless you want them), but we covered the follwoing distances between fuel stops: 129 miles 83 miles 75 miles 96 miles 97...

The paddle wheel on our CD22 wasn't very accurate - except at the one speed we calibrated it at - the calibration factor is in the Fishfinder menu. Unfortuately, there is no way to adjust the curve (speed vs paddle wheel turns) and since the paddle wheel is in disturbed water, it reads different...

Don't know if this affects anyone else, but on my system (C-120/GPS 125), the log function is terribly inaccurate. I verified it many times against another GPS, and against measured distances on the chart. The log function always reads less than the actual distance travelled. On average, the...
