    Trash ideas

    I use a large sized trash bag in a half size Rubbermaid tote. See the light blue tote under the wire shelves here: The interim trash bin is the sink - eg while underway, etc.

    Looking to catch anything in the DesMoines Wa area for Fun

    The post is real (http://auburnsportsmarineinc.com/sys-tmpl/pollackspointers/message.nhtml?profile=pollackspointers&UID=10009 (Scroll down to the bottom of the page.) Tom Pollack would not put anything on this web page that wasn't straight up. But since I wasn't there I can't be certain and...

    Looking to catch anything in the DesMoines Wa area for Fun

    Argh! Don't turn the child off to fishin. Spoil her. Make her want the big fish. She could end up having her own show on ESPN and setting you up for life. Get her a tuna off Pt. Robinson (Vashon Isl): From Pollack's Corner, Aug 2005: "Subject: Tuna at Pt. Robinson. Date: Fri Aug 20 11:00...

    Auto-inflatable PFD choices

    Long thread so I hope I haven't missed anything. 1. I have owned two of the Mustang MD3184s for a year. I would not wear anything else. The cost is nothing compared to the fact you _will_ wear these. http://www.mustangsurvival.com/products/product.php?id=506. I looked at every other auto...

    Frozen Bolt!

    I have another suggestion. Two actually. No guarantees of course. 1. Heat is often needed, but be sure and check/replace all soft (eg rubber) components near the gear case where heat is applied after you get that bad boy open. This may include drive shaft seals that are in the water pump...

    Battery problems, c-80, and radar

    My 2kw scanner is always on (in scanning not transmitting mode) whenever I switch on my C80. It does not matter what page views are displayed. In scan mode it eats up 0.75 amps. This not much. (BTW, on a C80 the only way you can power up the scanner to transmit is to physically push the...

    Suzuki Service Center Recos - Seattle

    Can folks with Suzukis on their C-Dorys recommend a service outfit in the Seattle area? I have all the Suzuki dealer service center names from the Suzuki web site, but would be interested in hearing people's experience(s) with any of them, especially: I-90 Marine (Issaquah), Performance Marine...

    12 volt monitor

    I think "battery-talk" is the most common subject on this site. A couple of observations: 1. Consider separating house from cranking batteries. Ideally you should use a dedicated battery for cranking and a dedicated battery for house. Granted this adds weight and expense, but generates a lot...

    Electric Adapters

    I bought one of the Marinco adapters someone posted a Worst Marine link to (though I think I got it at Fisheries Supply). Here's what I like about it (and why I would not make a "pigtail" myself (or buy one)): when you go to plug into a shorepower box at a marina, this adapter and standard 3...

    Antenna extensions

    Here's an article that will give you a headache re: (high intensity) radar and GPS antennae: http://mg.gpsworld.com/gpsmg/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=320030&pageID=1. Interesting to note that getting within 1000 feet of a military vessel can fry commercial GPS antenna. The effect on...

    depression in floor, starboard side, between cabin & coc

    Could well be, Joe. I wonder why the factory would install engines (inlcuding my twin 40 Suzi's) if they exceed capacities.

    Fuel Tax Refund Info for Boaters

    BTW, the WA state form I believe you want is entitled: "Application for Fuel Tax Refund Permit Account". Download it here: http://www.dol.wa.gov/forms/442071.htm Thanks Ann Leigh, this will help out the beer fund.

    depression in floor, starboard side, between cabin & coc

    Run of the mill 3M clear silicone. I wanted something I could remove if what I was doing proved wrong. After 2 years it leaks a little (I'm talking drops). Another, slightly less removable, but better sealing option, would be 3M 5200. In either case, run a strip of blue painter's tape over...

    Smokin!

    I freeze my smoked salmon all the time, so long as it is foodSavered (vac packed). It lasts up to a year. Granted not quite as good as fresh off the smoker, but ... Also, I use my natural gas grill for this operation - The UpTown Smoker. It has 4 burners. I light only one (on one far side)...

    depression in floor, starboard side, between cabin & coc

    Since the day I first put my 22 in the water (then essentially unloaded) this has never been the case. Most water in the cockpit collects in the aft bilge, next to the plug. For this "amidships" bilge pump to work on my boat, there had to be 3-4 inches of water in the cockpit. I also found...

    Antenna extensions

    For what it's worth, I have mine mounted about 1" above the roof railing on a stndard 1" swivel attached to the rail. I positioned the antennea below the radar beam. You can determine where this is if you know the angle of output for your radome. Mine was 11% (as I recall) and my Dad and I...
