With calipers that go underwater, will you have corrosion that is too deep to just polish up? Let's assume the seal is still intact. Dave.

Hi Warren How long is the sale and do you know any prices? I find I most use the 20-150 ft/# wrench. I just bought a cheap new one to replace the previous cheap one which failed, and the cheap new one was even cheaper but has failed already. Fortunately it failed at 135 ft/# which is my...

If you haven't read Lynne Cox, check out: http://www.lynnecox.org/booktour.htm http://www.lynnecox.org/Lecture.htm She has to be an exception among us, but as an example, she swam 30 minutes in 31 degree water in Prudhoe Bay. She swam the Bering Strait. From my own limited experience, I can't...

I can't help you. All the ones that came to me were spopken for. If you could get together the need for 5 sets, maybe Joel would be willing to ship more. From my own situation, I can say these replacement lazerette covers are terrific. No more leakage, and significantly better access because...

Thanks for the details, Bob. If I change my mind and want to raise it, that looks like an excellent solution. What do you consider the advantages of raising the unit by a foot? Why do that instead of just a roof mount? Dave

Did you shorten wires or just leave them coiled? My boat is already feeling like a wire storage warehouse. I see there is a provision for shortening the data wiring. Shortening the electric wires is simple. Dave

>As much as the things cost, you would think it could support itself Laughed out loud! I didn't consider mounting on the roof as an option. RETREIVER... Did you make a mounting block or something to put under it, or just bolt it to the roof? I am not concerned about maximum range, and I want...

I bought a Garmin 18HT and would like to hear what the best choices are for mounting it on a 22 Cruiser. Unless someone has a great buy on a used arch, I think I just want to put it above the front of the cabin. What to do? Also, what is desireable angle from the cabin top? Dave

I use one of the fans on my woodstove at home. Has worked well 2 years. The two blade fan is fine. I have used it on the boat, which allows stove/heater operation without running the current sucking stove fan. It worked nicely, but is only a bit awkward to carry about. I think I got it from...

>The noise problem could also be that the spark plug generated noise >interferes with the operation of the ignition/injection computer. That is what I am concerned about, Larry. If it was as little as some ticking on the radio, I might not worry about it. Thanks, Matt. Mine have gone 200...

I lost a partly finished post... maybe be some duplication. I called boats.net to check the price. Turns out their price on the website is incorrect and they are changing it. Retail is $21.44 each plug and their price is 18.22. Roger, I thank you (and probably boats.net does, too) for the...

Thanks. They may not be the best choice in this case... I looked at the boats.net site. 9807B-5617C S/PLG (IZFR6K-11E) $34.98 $27.98 4 The $27.98 is the discounted price! I'm just curious what the "electrical noise" issue is. Is it within the engine, or related to VHF or GPS? Dave

It's quite a shock to find that plugs for the new Honda 90's are in the range of $20 each, times four. The plugs, IZFR6K 11E, are a Honda specific plug, and priced accordingly. The IZFR6K 11 plug costs 12.00, retail. I contacted NGK with the question, "What is the difference?" This is the...

I had a starboard wiper motor replaced on warranty. It's blade was corroded on and the shaft needed to be sawed. Which means sometime in the future I might need another wiper. Does anyone have a brand other than these noisy clumbsy wiper motors that the factory installed? Are there some...

We are all of us just one bad decision away from a scary experience on the water. Ironically, I am sitting out a head cold reading "Come Hell and High Water", a gift from my wife last Christmas. Subtitle is "Extraordinary Stories of Wreck, Terror, and Triumph on the Sea". The author used to...

Larry, it is great to have you post back to C-Brats every so often, as a reminder to check the blog. I've really been enjoying your account - the only way better than to see it through your eyes would to be there ourselves. I really appreciate your taking the effort to write it up. Your...

Joel will be shipping the covers to my address and I will reship from here (WA). The covers should arrive sometime next week. Please get in touch with me directly (4nhand@gmail.com) with your names and addresses - and will have your direct email addresses that way too. I'll get back to you...

And I would like a pair. This looks like a caseful now. Joel, I am in Washington, too, not Alaska. Dave

With Warren, that's 6 covers. Who else? Dave

I'm prepared to take at least two pairs of covers, if there are not 5 people. What about the rest of you? I can do it today, or it's 2 weeks for me also, so I don't mind waiting. Dave
