Greg, both the nut and handle on my valve were mild steel and looks like you have the same. The handle shaft in the valve is stainless so if you can get the nut off it should clean up and be ok. I struggled to find a replacement handle and ended up having a friend make me a new one out of SS...

Anyone ever remove the outside rubber seal/trim from the center opening window? Had no problem getting it out of the port side window but the center window trim is much tighter and I am trying not to go the strong arm route just yet. Thanks stevej

Good deal Don, going to be pulling the boat to Newport hopefully around the 10th. South Beach slip E5 if you are in the neighbor hood. T.R. 150' of water must be nice. Deep water fishing can be a real (reel) workout but you have lots of time to get the net ready when you catch one. I try to...

Don, I have been doing deep water halibut fishing out of Newport for 8 years on Shearwater. A crew of 3 and fishing 2 rods is perfect in my mind. Unless its dead calm running 3 rods off the back when fishing 500 to 700 feet deep is a pain . 3 people aboard lets 2 fish while the third baits...

I get about four years out of the optima blue top combo batteries. To me there is value in the jell cell/AMG design over traditional lead acid. Smaller footprint, low storage discharge rate, no venting mount any direction, no acid corrosion in the battery compartment . Need to replace this...

Reading through the list of make and models really bring back some memories. Got my first real motorcycle at 10 a used 1965? Honda 50 Trail (picture a smaller trail 90). Progressed from it to a bunch of different bikes over time Kawasaki 90 enduro 68 Honda 125 scrambler 68 Sachs 125 - first race...

Can't speak for the 90 e-tec but the exhaust smell from my 200 is not much of an issue. Under the right conditions some exhaust will get into the cockpit and while not my favorite smell the intensity is not much worse than 4-stroke under the same conditions. If you are going to go through the...

Nice work Mike, so great to see you giving these kids a chance to enjoy the excitement. Our old 25's are just fish magnets, been great Coho fishing out of Newport this year we managed to limit out on our salmon trips last weekend. Will post some pics tonight of the salmon and tuna event at...

Thanks Rick, always a lot of fun to get out. You are right on about Newport area plus the bar has to be one of the most benign in Oregon. The "serious gear" is 80 pound 5'6" lamiglass pole with roller tip, stripper eye and Penn International 50. I have three of these on the boat spooled with 80...

Not a lot of success with Halibut this year with only four small one to the boat. Did have some fun over the 4th though Swell was 7 feet at 8 seconds with 15 knot winds at the rockpile when we headed out, every once in a while a set of 9 to 10 footers would roll through. Normally we would...
