It just seems to be on the surface. I think what caused it is my wife spilled some DampRid into the sink. It probably sat in there for a few days. When I wiped it up I noticed some rust where the DampRid was. I believe we have some Bar Keepers Friend so I'll try that. If it doesn't work, I'll...

I've developed small rust spots all over my sink (size of a dime and smaller). Also seems to be some starting on my stove. Any idea what could be causing these? Just the humidity? I keep windows cracked and DampRid in the cabin but it's Maryland in July so the humidity is what it is. Any idea...

SnapperBlues, We're really close to you, Curious Traveler is in the water, and I'm always looking for an excuse to go out. Let me know if you want a sea trial to see how you like her. May give you an idea for how she handles compared to your deep V Grady and how you're family will fit aboard...

If anyone is interested, here is the model that fits. The other Arctic King 5000 BTU is too tall, at least according to the online specs. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Arctic-King- ... /222806043

Found an air king in stock at Walmart and it fits. They have 2 models but the one I found is just a little if 12” tall. Sitting here in a transient slip in Annapolis Harbor for the 4th, I have to tell you, AC is a game changer.

I picked up a 5000 BTU unit from walmart (GE) and to my surprise, it doesn't fit in the front window. It's just a tad too tall. I'm looking online at all the other 5000 BTU units I can find, even the Arctic King, and they all say they need a window height of 14". I didn't have my tape measure...

I'd like to think C-Sharp stole my idea with his Poor Man's Bimini but I'm sure that's not the case. Here's my "completed" project. If I can find a deal on canvas I'll use that but for now, this 6x8 tarp should do the trick. Hopefully over the winter I can have an actual bimini installed. [/img]

We picked up a 22 Cruiser this Spring here in Annapolis. We absolutely love her. But we knew what we were getting and chose her for those reasons. As long as you know you're going to slow down in chop (which, for us at least, means whenever the weather buoys are saying .75+ feet waves) you'll...

C-Sharp, That's excellent. I made a prototype this weekend of almost the exact same thing. Used some 3/4" electrical conduit instead of boat hooks in the rod holders and I don't have a radar arch so I'm planning to fasten to the grab rails. I used an old bed sheet for the prototype...my...

Thanks all. I think I'll give the double sided tape a try until we figure out where we permanently want to mount items. I'm planning a little trip for our anniversary and need to rig up some extra storage with gear hammocks and the like.

Resurrecting this....is VHB still considered a good option for mounting items (gear hammock, etc?) Is it removable? I use gorrilla's double sided tape at home to install security cameras and it works great but haven't seen what's left if I try to remove them.

Welcome Tony. I'm a new C-Brat myself on the Chesapeake up in Annapolis. Loving my new little boat. Already had some great times on her this season.

Defender is having a Memorial Day Sale. Think I'll get 25 feet of 1/4 inch G4 high test. From another post, I believe you said get 5/16 shackles. I know more chain would be better but I think this will work for our conditions. Growing up on Lake Michigan, with a significantly bigger boat we...

Chesapeake Bay C-Brats, Curious Traveler came with a #8 Danforth and maybe 6 feet of chain. Obviously not enough. I need to buy more chain but I don't want to go overboard and add way too much weight to the bow. What have you found sufficient for our conditions? Generally muddy and very...

Ok, how about the Yamaha 2000? Found a basically new one for a decent price. Still under warranty.

Thataway, Looking into some of the comparisons, I think the Craftsman is too big for my intended use. Physically bigger and significantly heavier. I'll look into the 1000’s. Thanks
