I would echo the fact that 1100 hours seems like an early demise, I would definitly get a second opinion, It's strange that both went at the same time. I hope to get more life than that out of my suzuki. Were they running poorly? Sark

The Cdory makes a great fishing/crabbing boat for up here in the northwest, its very stable at trolling speeds, has a decent sized cockpit, with high enough sides you don't feel like you are going overboard. Economical to run which is more important with the price of fuel these days. And it has...

There is also a check valve in the outlet hose, You might want to check and make sure it wasn't put on backwards. Seems that was a problem for someone? Anyway worth a shot. Sark

Roger- I like the way you think :shock: I forgot that was there. But no, it is Duke's, I've only eaten there 3-4 times but it has always been good. Actually it was the first place we took the Cdory when it was new to get some break in time on the motors. Andrews bay does sound good- Pat has got...

Now I've never docked at fishermans terminal, so I can't comment on the dock itself, but I know Chinooks restaurant is right there and has pretty good seafood and a fantastic view. As far as shopping, there isn't much right there other than a couple restaurants. There are also a couple...

Lots of good points here. Im not totally against commercial fishing, but to wipe out a resource so a "few" can keep their jobs is irresponsible in my opinion. I understand alot of the fish are bred to be caught ( hatchery) in Alaska, we do that here too. But nets catch wild fish along with all...

Yeah I'm not a fan of gillnetting, my uncle by marriage is a gillnetter and we get into freindly debates every few holiday's about it. I'm a member of PSA ( puget sound anglers) and also think gill netting should be dumped, longlining seems more eco freindly at least. We sportys have to release...

Saw this online and thought it was an interesting video, being a sporty I'm not much of a commercial fishing fan anyway but, I definitly don't like seeing this. I think it's great that some people are trying to do something about it, especially the guy who was a gillnetter. Its nice to see some...

Is Dogon ever serious? Maybe when it comes to prop selection :lol: Sark

E~fishin~C and crew will be in attendance for this one. We actually stayed at friday harbor last year while everyone was at lopez (they were full) Looking forward to maybe doing some shrimping and bottom fishing, last year we got a decent ling and rockfish out that way. Mellow tides will help...

Well, I run a 115 suzuki and love it. The suzuki 115 is the same weight as the 90 I believe. I can get up to 35-36 depending on wind, current etc... I find the boat handles good at around 30, it does get a little squirelly above that but you just have to be gentle with the wheel. I run wot...

Well, I've got most of the added components on this project mounted and have decided to go ahead and use an 80 amp fuse between the buss and switch. I still dont get the fuse within seven inches of the battery though. If you have a battery switch which most of us do, the cable from the battery...

Does anyone have an switched always hot, buss terminal near the battery? I want to clean up the posts on the house battery and I am adding a positive /negative buss right there in the lazarette( along with VSR etc...). I'm trying to decide weather to fuse or breaker the hot side, all the house...

Well, Its kind of unfair since I have met your son possibly more than alot of people here. But I'll take you up on fishing. It's been too long anyway obviuosly if I didn't know about this. Big :thup to James!! Sark

7th from the left, top row! I had no idea James was at Boot camp. Taking after his dad , huh? Sark

Don't worry Pat, I goofed today too. While putting on my new brake actuating coupler, I got a little rough with the brake line and it now is a two piece brake line. So no trailer brakes at the moment. We were going to head out for the evening too. Must be the new years eve curse or something. Oh...

Hoping to get out on Lake Washington for some fireworks, it's a zoo out there but a fun one. Can you see the fireworks from Andrews bay? I know its on the other side but just curious. After that we'll either anchor out somewhere or head back to the launch or maybe even just go tie up at home. Sark

Ok Got the battery switch with VSR for Christmas and I am ready to install. I am dizzy from reading Nigel Calders book and would appreciate some help. First off let me say at this point Im not adding any other electrical components or loads, I am just adding a second battery to handle house...

E~fishin~C got a new battery switch with VSR by Blue Seas, and will also receive belatedly the two new batteries to go with it, and she is getting a new brake actuating coupler for her trailer( to replace the broken piece O junk supplied from EZloader) :xseek She is pretty satisfied(for now). Sark

Thanks for all the info, thats exactly what I was looking for. Got to love this place. Sark
