    Cabin heater vent tube construction

    Thanks thataway - yes, I should have better clarified, I'm looking to direct heated air, rather than exhaust (my exhaust pipe system's stock, and works just fine). I'll check out some of the flexible hose you mentioned, and see if I can get it in hand to get a feel for rigidity; though I prefer...

    Cabin heater vent tube construction

    Hello all, We have a Toyo NS2800 cabin heater on our 22. It's wonderful; lots of heat and low fuel consumption. With a two-year-old on board, this really extends our season (which in the Yukon can otherwise be rather short). I've been doing some maintenance on it (dealt with a small exhaust...

    Keeping critters out

    That ended being the mystery portal through which mosquitoes got at us at night - I was up at 2am with a flashlight plugging every hole I could (hawse pipe, below-door bilge hatch, etc.) and getting nowhere until I figured this out. Strategically place tea towel gained us the rest of that...

    Fuel tank water removal for nervous types

    I've certainly been putting my thoughts to water source, an ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure, after all. On further inspection, fuel fill cap o-rings are in good shape; I don't see them admitting any water. A good check, though, and I'll continue to give them a look at each fill...

    Fuel tank water removal for nervous types

    Hello all, Having recently solved (hopefully?) a water-in-fuel-tank problem, I thought I’d document here in case it’d help others. Quick background: during spring prep this weekend, I replaced my Racor filter. On filling the dry filter from my starboard tank, I collected lots of water (50:50)...

    Fuel Prices

    In a relatively down-in-the-mouth thread, this autocorrection provided me a much-needed chuckle. Believe I'll try to get my hands on some Dangerous Grabs myself this summer.

    What's your favorite fish for the table ?

    I will forever preach the gospel of grilled halibut heads. 1. Split them, remove gills and give a good rinse/scrub 2. Marinate (whatever you're into - I like a soy/mirin/citrus mix) 3. Grill until crispy with a bit of char There's a surprising amount of meat in a halibut head (even apart...

    CA/US land border to reopen to nonessential travel

    I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say I'm excited to start reconnecting. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/us-canad ... -1.6208838

    Potting screws - gauging balsa thickness?

    Super useful information (and great to know I may be dealing with up to 1.5" of balsa, though I'll proceed carefully nonetheless). Thanks all!

    Potting screws - gauging balsa thickness?

    Hello all, 22 Cruiser preventative maintenance. I'm beginning the process of removing a number of items screwed into the hull and epoxy potting screws to avert dreaded water intrusion. I'm starting with brackets holding up the rear seat (containing the water tank) and under the sink/stove...

    Plastimo P270SH RAID inflatable - reviews?

    I have an appeal to the hive mind. Having had enough of futzing around with a Packraft as a tender, I'm looking to upgrade. I'm considering the Plastimo P270SH RAID - a 9ft slat-floor inflatable...

    Oldest Son free diving in Cook Inlet

    Great video! 0ne of the things I'm hoping to use my new Cruiser for is a base for freediving/spearfishing in SE AK (once the dust settles re: cross-border travel). Spearfishers in Alaska look few and far between - I'm always happy to find more of them.

    Gross tonnage - 22 Cruiser

    That will definitely be my formula, too. Having just returned home from overseas (my family and I had an unexpectedly extended stay in New Zealand), I'm currently in quarantine, with nothing to do but sweat the small stuff.

    Gross tonnage - 22 Cruiser

    Whew - a bunch of different answers. I knew there was a reason I couldn't search up a straightforward number. I wasn't looking forward to choosing who I thought was correct. Turns out, though, I don't have to, because for very bureaucratic reasons no one is. This is on me - I wasn't explicit...

    Gross tonnage - 22 Cruiser

    Hello all, This is my transition from wannabe to something like a brat - my 2004 22 Cruiser was dropped off last week, and I'm happily puttering away at it in prep for hitting the water. Thanks, all, for being such a knowledgeable and pleasant crew - I don't know if I would have bought the...

    Canucks on the Brat Map

    Howdy all, As my boat was delivered this week, it seems I'm now eligible for a map pin. I've got Whitehorse down as the closest town, but my postal code centroid is closer to 60°35'57"N 134°52'42"W. Cheers, Ctarmigan
