My Lewmar 600 just arrived at the Offshore Store in Seattle this Monday from Alaska for warranty repair also. It would let line out, but would lock up tight and pop the breaker on retrieval. The owner's manual was well written, so following the recommendations I removed the 4 screws that...

Cool, I never thought to look at Cabela's for LED Dome lights. It says these are 18 bulb LED lights and they are one of the best prices I've seen at $29.99. Here's the image I came up with. (I couldn't get the image to link from Cabela's so I put it in my album.) I'm not near my boat right...

Thanks for the ideas and thoughts guys. It sounds like not many have actually replaced the dome lights, (except for the untested Dr. LED's) I like the idea of the swivel directional and reading lights (thanks for the photos) but I really need something to replace these high amperage dome...

I was just wondering if anyone has replaced the original dome lights with the new LED dome lights? I was on a friends custom made boat the other day and he had LED Dome Lights that worked great and gave off plenty of light. I remember reading a post quite a while back where someone had tried...

Joe, Thanks for the thoughts. I REALLY need to get some interior photos posted. The TC24 is the "open" floor plan of boats. There is no V-berth door. There's just one huge queen sized mattress in the forward area of the boat, but it's all open. No overhead to mount anything on. My helm...

Byrdman, Thanks for the response. Appreciate your thoughts. The standard wiper is already on it's way with an 18" wiper blade. So I could keep it as a spare later when replacing it with a panthographic. We're having a new forward windshield canvas being made right now, with a wear strip...

I forgot to post again after I called the Canadian Customs people. I called and they told me that I can go in and out of Canada with the registered gun for 60 days for the same $25 fee. Now I just need to fill out the paperwork in triplicate for the border. John

Wouldn't there be issues with the clam shell getting smashed into the boat on a dock??? Otherwise I'm intersted in trying this. Scan Marine (the wallas dealer) has recommended installing some kind of a wind diverter previously. John Oh yeah, might be worth mentioning that when my Wallas...

Update The stove is headed back to me in AK. The shipping cost is $60 by mail. I called back and talked to Doug and he asked if I had tried the hair dryer trick. I hadn't been told previously of this one. You heat the pump with a hair dryer and it helps loosen the gum in the pump. He said...

Mike' (the technician's) banging seems to be preventative. I've called them while having problems installing a friends new Wallas 30D and 95D. Their answer then when we couldn't get the 30D to start was whacking the pump, didn't work for us. They sent a new pump for him and it worked great...

Update I talked to Mike today (the technician) at Scan Marine. He said there was NOTHING wrong with my stove. Started up and ran fine. I don't get it and am concerned. He said it was one of the cleanest stoves he has seen. He says, he thinks it isn't getting run enough. (Even thought it...

Well the Canadian website was helpful and thorough. I will have the paperwork ready in case it's asked for (in triplicate). Hopefully I don't need it, but......I've never passed thru Canadian Customs without being asked if I had firearms with me. My wife recommended hiding the shotgun in the...

Sorry I brought it up, really, I appreciate this site too. Unfortunately I don't have time to read all the posts that are put on the forum. I just liked the old post that said that the expenses were all covered by the voyeurs who didn't register. I was really impressed by that way of...

Maybe I missed discussion on this already. But what's up with all the ads. I thought that ads were only shown to non-members or people not logged in. Previously I read that it was enough to support the site financially. Will we be expecting membership fees in the future?? :(

I didn't want to hijack the 12 gauge selection thread going right now, so I thought I'd start this new one. I read that you have to pay a fee to bring your shotgun into Canada. We are trailiering our boat from Anchorage to Haines, Alaska transiting Canada both out and back. Could anyone give...

Joe, I like the pantographic wiper and have a couple on my first boat. A Harbercraft that I still own. My concern was that this window is very long and I'm not sure how much coverage I could get. So far I was just opting for the largest wiper blade I could fit making a 110 degree sweep...

Warren I had one of the FEW boats that came from the factory with the front windows tinted. Imagine the fun I had cruising thru glacier ice at dusk! My center window ALWAYS leaked and never opened. The window manufacturer told me about how they pleaded with C-Dory NOT to install an aft...

Sarge, We use RainX, but we only get around a half days protection from it. It just doesn't seem to work as well on salt water, in my opinion. It is incredible on the car windows though. We're totally committed to the whole third wiper thing. $$$100's have been spent already and the...
