Pat on C-Farer, quick links/split links, "gotcha". Thank you, Chica

Several months ago there was a post on prawning/crabbing. A responder mentioned a connector for joining together several lengths of rope. I remember he said that it was as easy as clapping your hands together. I think he said he obtained the connecter at Longs Marine in Valdez in Alaska. I am...

Does any one have any experience with the circular, double tube, self inflating, canopied life rafts? I mostly fish off the northwest corner of Vancouver Island and with salmon season approaching my thoughts go back to one day last season when the mate and I were 10 miles off the canal bouy, in...

Thanks for the thread, Roger. I've been 'in communicado" for awhile, and now realize I could have pulled all this up on the "search engine ". Thanks, Chica

Sorry, should have realized the regs would not be the same in all areas. I will be fishing and prawn trapping in the northwest section of Vancouver Island during the summer months. Chica

I would like to acquire any information available ( books, previous posts, internet sources, personal preferences etc.) on prawn trapping. Thanks, Chica

I too have had to use the Dremel tool behind the strike plate, the door slam routine, and the knee to the door for alittle inward push. I did call the lock company, but they did not return my call. Chica

Valkyrie, I have the same exact problem with my cabin door lock. Sometimes I an unable to get the door to lock. I likewise have had to take the door off twice, and I am always afraid I will sometimes get caught without the correct fitting head for my screwdriver. I am always careful to check...

Just returned from a hunting trip and could not put the "mouse" down once I started this thread. Mr. Struberg's motives for his persistence in this article are questionable, and he is confrontational to say the least, acting like a novice at times, seeking boating information, and as a expert on...

Just a reminder to all C-Dory owners that have a washdown system onboard. Don't forget to blow out the water from the pump and hose as you prepare your boat for winter or next spring you may find fractures of the pump housing and hose. Unfortunately I speak fro experience. Chica

On the third day of use my motor started to vibrate, stopping and raising the motor showed one of the blades had broken in the middle. I was two miles off shore, but was lucky to have a trolling motor and the original aluminum prop. Found an island with a sandy beach and replaced the damaged...

INGREDIENTS 1 stick of butter (or squeeze of margarine) 1 large yellow onion 4-6 medium potatoes (more or less based on # of people) Clean water A good amount of black pepper A good amount of dill A few shakes of seasoned salt 6-10 slices of cooked bacon 1...

For a real treat, try Carmen Macdonald's salmon chowder found on page 38 of September's issue of Salmon Trout and Steelheader. Easy and very good. Chica

Just returned from Vancouver Island where I encountered a problem when my GPS module failed to respond when near boats using their radars knocked my antenna out. ("GPS module not responding") shows up on your screen. If this happens, disconnect the GPS antenna cord, the center one on the back of...

Last year I had a problem with caviatation or ventilation, I'm not clear on the difference, but thought I had this improved with raising my two transducers which were mounted too low in the water. After doing alittle reading I though I might help my remaining caviatation/ ventilation with a...

I used Jenny B's link to the FCC and got my forms filled out on line. Thanks to a very helpful lady at the FCC the procedure was almost painless. Licenses will arrive in two weeks by mail. Many thanks to you Jenny B for the link. Ignorance is bliss, I apparently have been illegal for twelve...

I finally got my forms from the FCC to make me legal in Canadian waters to use my VHF radio and radar, when I get one. Is there anyone who can give me a "heads up" on filling out the forms? An e-mail address or phone number would be appreciated Chica

Getting ready for the summer fishing, I thought it would be a good idea to have an extra fuel line connector. Being in the area of the nearest Honda dealer (60 miles from home), I stopped to get the connector. I was told that they would need the serial number and model number of my 2003, 90HP in...

I'm looking for a permatrim for a Honda 90. I called John Jensen but he is out until his next shipment arrives in 6-8 weeks, if there is no problem with customs. He has ones for Johnson's and Mercury's but no Honda's. My problem is that I'm leaving for Vancouver Island in 8 weeks. Chica

Ola from the Baja. I wanted to shorten the cable on my Lowrance fish-finding/mapping GPS and the technical guy there said,"No". that it would change the impedance and therby affect the quality of the picture. Radars and GPS are horses of a different color, but cousins so to speak. Chica
