    Venting heat

    I am confused, cracking the windows on a car does what I want to accomplish and the is passive venting. Am I missing something here??? I am not trying to air condition the boat with a solar fan, just keep the inside temp equal to or as close as possible to the outside temperature. Preferably...

    high wind: anchoring aches

    I was trying to inflate and set out the lines from the cockpit. I have switched back to the bow. Reverse at 1100-1300 rpms depending on the wind speed and the vessle slowing snakes back and forth upwind in "auto pilot". Used this for years off my skiff. OK time to try another anchor and all...

    Permatrims: My 2 cents

    can someone with permatrims and trim tabs chime in here as well. Even though the permas made a HUGE difference there is still alot of "gentle bumps" charging into it upwind, at a shallow angle to boot. The more I am using this boat for work the more I like it! I am wondering how much more I...

    Permatrims: My 2 cents

    I have read most of the stuff and was lucky my vessle can with permatrims on the twin 40's. Man that was sweet, not only could I smooth it out by stuffing the nose in but also level things out when I had an uneven load. Now after a repower I am down to a single 115 and put about 50 hrs on...

    Venting heat

    I am wanting to keep the temperature down inside the cabin when locked up and not in use. Mainly as I am hoping to minimize degradation to the power station that runs my mini a/c. If I can keep the inside below 104 I could even charge but that is not critical. I am considering putting in a...

    Rub Rail Blues

    Alright stainless bolts seem to be the preferred weapons for this mission. I am now looking for good trim option to hide hardware on the inside. I don't want to be looking at a line of fasteners running all around the inside. That will remind me forever of the rubrail failure project. If I...
