    Impact (?) of low sulphur fuel on diesel engines.

    That is TOOO FUNNY! I definitely prefer the exhaust fumes from running BIO. Especially if I'm hooking up the boat and have it sitting idling while I check the alignment of the trailer!

    Impact (?) of low sulphur fuel on diesel engines.

    Bill, I don't have B100 but B99. Same thing with my truck. It runs way better on the B99 but is a little harder to start in the morning. Also much quieter on the engine and I have noticed a slight loss (About 1mpg) in fuel mileage over the older #2 diesel (I haven't checked it with the ULSD)...

    Curtains for our new C-dory

    We had curtains using the SnapTrack system on my mom's RV. The track was on both top and bottom. They were great! The curtains didn't flop around yet worked great at keeping out the light. Great system!

    Honda with EFI

    I would guess it'll probably be OK if you put some fuel stabilizer in before leaving it. On the other hand, I Never use fuel stabilizer on my sled and often leave it for a couple months between uses. The old Chev 350 always fires up and runs fine :) The kicker on the other hand always needs to...

    Impact (?) of low sulphur fuel on diesel engines.

    Casey thanks for posting the link. It looks like I'll have to try to run more Bio in my truck and maybe get some fuel additive to boot. Since it sits a lot I'm going to have to get something to combat moisture in the fuel. The truck runs much quieter on the Bio (Issaquah Grange sells 99% Bio)...

    Magellen GPS

    Caty, I dealt with Dell 2 years ago, and while they were slow to answer the phone (about 35 minutes) they quickly sent me a new monitor with no questions asked and a box to return the faulty one. I will gladly deal with Dell again on my next monitor/computer purchase. I don't typically use them...

    Where's Joe (Sea Wolf)?

    I hope all is well with Joe. He is definitely missed!

    Impact (?) of low sulphur fuel on diesel engines.

    I have a '93 F250 with the Navistar 7.3l. I've been alternating back and forth between BioDiesel and the new junk. I only alternate as the BioDiesel is a little hard to get. Otherwise the truck runs better on the Bio. I'm hoping the Bio will take care of the lubrication missing from the junk...

    Out of Everett

    Bummer Pat! BTW: Here is the best site with picture of a Cabezon I could find. http://www.oceanlight.com/lightbox.php?sp=scorpaenichthys_marmoratus Cabbys are a very tasty bottom fish that frequent simlar places as Ling Cod. They are a member of the sculpin family

    cameras

    I've been thinking about a Pentax Optio W30 for use while boating and fishing. I've seen decent pictures taken with them. It is the only water resistant digital I know of.

    cameras

    When I got my Elan's I went with Canon instead of Nikon because I was doing a lot of work from a tripod. Canon made it very easy to adjust the F-Stop by the thumb wheel on the back of the camera. But Nikon still used the ring at the base of the lens. Unfortunately the ring was nearly impossible...

    cameras

    I too had a few old lenses for the Canon Elan's I have. So I went with the Digital Rebel (Xmas present from the wife a couple years ago). I found that while the Canon lenses worked fine with it the Sigma 400mm will cause an error 99 and the camera has to be rebooted to get out of the error...

    GPS to VHF wiring for DSC?

    That radio isn't on the Standard Horizon site. But here is a link for the Owners manuals they have on line. Maybe the GX2355s manual would help you out with the wiring (I'm assuming the 2355 is the replacement).

    VHF Channel

    Bob, Great post! I will have to add 5A, 13 and 14 to my scans as I didn't even know about the tug traffic. However your thoughts on the "chatter" found on VHF is not even close in the Puget Sound. People chat on 68 almost the way they chat on the phone or CB. Sometimes WAY too much. 68 and 69...

    Boat seating

    While I haven't purchased one, I have sat in seats that had these. They were very comfortable and worked very well. On the CD though you would need to remove the box under the seat in order to use something like this as the end result is designed to be run from the "floor".

    Need Electronic help/suggestions

    This sounds like a bad transducer or a bad connection on the transducer. You can get a really nice Lowrance LCX-28C HD that will have the NauticPath charts built in, plus get the correct Navionics chart chip for your location for about $1500 from BOE. That would give you a 7" screen. Going to...

    C-dory 22/Trophy 2359 Hardtop/Bayliner Discovery 192

    The 2359 will likely be much harder on fuel (even with the diesel). It's living area is not as comforable IMHO due to the highly raised dinette area. To me fishing out of them would be about the same. I think you would find that after a day in rough water in each boat you will be more relaxed...

    Humminbird Fish Finders

    Warren, The Lowrance units have dual frequency transducers. You could run 1 on 50mhz while running the Raymarine on 200mhz or vise versa. The two frequencies have different uses and different cone angles so depending on what you are doing you might want to use over the other. Also, you might be...

    Has anyone been fishing salmon in the lower Snohomish River?

    Yes, the 50% chrome/ 50% brass. The drop shot is rigged to keep the line just off the bottom. We are fishing in frog water so you want to fish slow enough to keep the weight on the bottom and yet fast enough to just keep the lure suspended and wobbling. Too slow and the lure will sink to the...

    Has anyone been fishing salmon in the lower Snohomish River?

    Beartrack, a friend and I went today in my sled. We hooked about 20 fish and landed about 14 keeping 8. We let a few go as we didn't want to keep any that had the start of a hump! We started about 6am and finished up at 2:45 pm. The fishing is far better on the incoming tide. And fishing while...
