I would say put it on the Stbd. side. Mainly because the cabin door secures to the port side bulkhead. I recommend docking your boat to port because the boat backs to port, making it easier docking on the port side. Using propeller walk in your favor (pro-tip) for boat handling.

I wanted to give everybody a heads up heading to Hontoon Island. We arrived yesterday and planed to Fill our water tanks up at Hontoon Island. The water coming out of the Spicket from the dock there are muddier than the river itself. I would not put that water in your boat tanks. We ended up...

We have two ENGEL powered 24 qt. freezer/ fridges on our boat. We power them for 16 hours (one in freezer mode, one in fridge mode) with the EF ECOFLOW Portable Power Station RIVER 2 Pro, 768Wh LiFePO4 Battery, 70 Min Fast Charging, off generator at 850 watts, or slow charge at 150 watts from...

A low pressure fuel pump might be the missing link when used in line with the modified generator fuel cap. As the generator tank empties the pump will keep positive pressure on the line. The pump will stop running when it reaches 6 psi.. No need for a switch because this is a diaphragm pump...

Dr. Bob brought up a good point with money transactions for boat rides. If you find a license captain that owns a boat that your interested in, then you can pay for the ride. Coastguard even states that payment includes any form of fuel, food, beverages, and money. :wink: It would be rude to...

Thanks! This is the original fuel tank that came with the boat. It is two tanks in one. Each side holds 27 gallons, I can hold a total of 54 gallons. I got lucky with this boat, having such a large fuel cap. When I re-powered, the tank had to come out. I had the opportunity to clean the outside...

Thanks John! We’ll see you guys at Hontoon Island this year.

Thanks Noro Lim! This is actually my 3rd attempt at making a generator shelf. As you know how difficult this can be. I checked out the shelf you made for your boat, great idea with the aluminum bracket clips. The brace underneath of your shelf looks almost identical as the one underneath mine...

The 30 amp socket is putting out 1850watts consistent load. I have one generator, I bought the Companion model only for the 30amp plug. I found using the 20 amp plug it tends to pull out easily from the weight of the shore power cord. For me, I wanted a clean installation that’s why I am using...

Looks like $132,000 for a 2025 22' Cruiser. https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2025-c- ... r-9638146/

Thanks! It’s the Honda EU2200 Companion (with 30amp socket).

I wanted to share my final version of a fiberglass generator/ utility platform I made for my boat. I am able to use this underway at cruising speed also.

Supported underneath and aluminum angle on the ends

Honda EU2200 Generator rubber feet lock in the halfmoon areas on shelf.

White gel coating w/ aluminum fiddley rails.

Made a canvas spray fly to keep the salt spray off of it when underway

Generator/ Utility fiberglass platform Cedar anchor locker for aft anchor.

This is how we did our window curtains. I mounted aluminum slider tracks (sailrite.com) using the existing screws that hold the window frames. My wife plated some Sunbrella canvas and sewed the slider ribbon snaps (comes in lengths) to the back of the curtains. We love this set up, because it...

This is very complicated to explain in a blog post. But here goes. It happens strictly with propeller walk. Most marine gear boxes (reduction gears) turn to the right in forward and turn to the left in reverse. This is why outboards have a trim tab under the cavitation plate. It counters the...

The Midsize Hondas don't offer counter rotating screws. It would be nice for sure. I've learned to use this to my advantage when maneuvering in tight spaces. I found that my boat is highly maneuverable docking and twisting to Port. It will fight me when I try to dock Stbd. side to or twist to...
