Thanks Mike! bmc

Thanks Bob, I'll look at the link. Long story on the nav lights, but basically the first owner put them on quarterboards on the roof; I added newer/brighter ones near the original location, then found glare on the deck in front of me at night. So I'm likely putting the new LEDs on the...

Hi all, I've been searching/perusing the topics on hole repair, and they seem to address holes into the core only. That is some good reading, and a good winter project for my tabs and transducer. Please redirect me if I've missed it, but I'm looking for an article or information on repairing...

Hi Potter Water, thanks for the thoughts. I most definitely have butane, even read the can to the Kenyon people. It has the metal tab with cutout and all that as well. As an aside, a direct quote from Kenyon: "You aren't limited to just our brand of butane--they are all the same and you can...

Spoke to Frank again, and he was once again very accommodating. I asked to keep the portable butane, return the alcohol/electric combo, and have him rebuild the Kiss. I also asked for a stainless cover for the KISS hole, in case I remove it later. He agreed to all of that, and is sending me a...

Received the two replacements as promised by Kenyon. One is a single-burner alcohol/electric combo, and the other is a portable (camping) single-burner butane, in a plastic carry case. I used my kettle from the boat, and heated my usual quantity of water (about 12 ounces) from 70F to 200F...

Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about the replacement. I'm glad they're trying to make it right, but also not sure the alcohol one is worth it--I've had one on a previous boat, and it took forever to heat. I'm intrigued by the idea of using the portable instead and using the cabinet top for...

OK, just got off the stove with Frank at Kenyon, 860-664-4906. He was super nice and helpful. He mentioned that they've had a lot of calls of the flare-up mentioned by others, and that basic maintenance they recommend is to always remove the butane cartridge from the stove when not in use, and...

Howdy all, hope you are enjoying the great weather. Had three days on the Columbia chasing sturgeon, lots of fish but no keepers this time out. While there, we were making morning coffee. You may recall that I recently had to clean out my regulator to get the Kiss to light, but all has been...

BTW Matt, they also state the following: "Full Synthetic, TC-W3 rated. For use in BRP E-TEC programmed for XD-100. Can be used in place of either Direct-Injection or Premium Blend. Ashless formulation. Provides superior protection and lubrication to ALL two-cycle outboard engines. Red dye added...

Hey Matt! Good to see you! Sierra specifically calls out their following product as "replaces BRP XD-100": TC-W3 Full Synthetic 18-9540-x* (See the full version in the .pdf here:) www.teleflexmarine.com/wp-content/uploa ... il_Ref.pdf Is this one of the ones you are saying can't/shouldn't...

Day 4: After morning coffee on the boat (with purchased water, thank you very much...), we wandered up to the mansion at Rosario to have breakfast. Afterwards, we went upstairs and walked through the mansion--it is nothing short of stunning. The craftsmanship is that of a bygone era, and hard...

So far I have been very impressed with the motors (dual 50's). They are responsive, and very torquey. My two complaints so far are: --They idle like crap, i.e. very rough and shake a lot. Since there's no easy spot for a kicker motor for trolling, this is a big deal. --The oil tank cap is...

Day 3: cruised over to West Sound Marina, bought three gallons of xd100 (1 for this trip, one for running at home, one so I don't ever run out again...), then to east sound. While in West Sound Marina, we had the unexpected pleasure of seeing "Natural Blue," our first c-dory. Sorta sloppy and...

Not a bad idea. Les at EQ found a marina for me in West Sound that had it. We're back in business! b

Re-reading my post this morning, it occurs to me that it sounds like we were flagrantly violating the whale rules. Not the case--what I was trying to say was that as we headed from one group to another, both at far distances, a third group surfaced nearby. Wanting to be sure we didn't hit them...

Just found the labels, thanks. They are hang tags and tucked in below the wiring. I'll call around tomorrow--maybe I can find it on Orcas. Thanks again, bmc

Had good fun today. Conditions were glassy all day, with a fair bit of sun also. Did a loop over to Lummi and Cypress, but no whale love. Back to Friday Harbor for fuel, then followed whale boats around to the west side of SJ Island to see some orcas. We saw many from a distance, and then...

Forgot one fun tidbit from yesterday (dripping sarcasm here). Around Partridge Point, there had been a Trophy gaining on us for a few miles and he finally caught us. He passed to starboard, about 100 yards to our side. He started edging over, closer and closer, until he was only 40-50 feet to...

Apologies for posting in the wrong forum, but hoping to reach more people this way. Running twin e-tec 50's, and running low on oil. Went to buy more, and only Yamalube is available. PO gave me a gallon of Evinrude xd100, which is what I've been running. I don't know, however, whether the...
