    Salt Away

    Anyone ever use a product called "Salt Away" ? I have always flushed my motors with fresh water after use in the salt. This time the boat will be in the salt all summer and fall. Wonder if I should tilt it up and hook up the ear muffs and flush with fresh water ? Can you even run the motor when...

    Raw Water Washdown

    Thank you all for the information and feed back. Does anyone know where they install the system when it is done at the factory ? (old factory) Raven Dancer is a 22' High Top Cruiser.

    Raw Water Washdown

    Hello all; I am thinking about installing a raw water wash down system on Raven Dancer. I really don't want to drill any holes for the intake water and was thinking about just putting the intake hose over the transom. Not sure if that would work or not. So I'm looking for some input on what...

    Fish Processing in Canada

    I have fished up their for the last 14 years, and couldn't begin to tell you the number of salmon & halibut and bottom fish that I have caught. I hardly bother with salmon fishing in the states. You will want a downrigger to get the big springs. I process my own fish, make sure you read the...

    PVC KAYAK RACK

    Warren; The black blocks in the center of the rack is nothing more then small foam blocks that you can get at any kayak or canoe store. I bought this one and just cut it in half. They come with the slots for attaching to any type of rack. Also what is not shown in the photos is the foam cradle...

If you looked at a cross section of the tee it...
