I used the starboard window frame for a antenna and ran cable to the antenna plug on the am/fm radio. I was interested in good am signals and I got what I wanted. Interference from the plotter,radar and depth sounder is another story. Some stations have signals from the C80 but the worst one...

A note about Fisheries Supply. The online web page has a catalog option and it comes post paid and this is a big one with everything having to do with a boat in it. Price is right too! Bob Heselberg Eatonville Wa

Clarkston to Warrenton Nine days and 425 water miles later I arrived at Warrenton Oregon. Little problems yes, but got a lot of knowledge on how the boat operated, how the operator of the boat operated and how rusty some of my skills have gotten. Went through eight sets of locks. I managed...

Well its over for another six months or so. Hope everyone that attended got what they were looking for. Seems like two hundred people with flashlights at 4:45 and myself I was hauling goodies back to the pickup before 5am. Pretty much over by 8am. Prize of the day was a 12volt fan for...

Boaters world came up with pretty close and I went for it on the spot. Their size was correct for the five inches and length was 19 and only a inch shorter than the locker. They had three for forty bucks but no singles. And their new wish books are out. I did notice one thing in the store...

Down in Richmond near Vancouver BC is a manufacturer of liferafts and when I bought mine 15 years ago they had the best deal going. I took it back several time for re pack. You can watch them being built and they have total quality control. Beaufort I believe was the name. What ever you end up...

Try a ebay search for Delorme and I think the usb jobby is less than a hundred bucks and think GI JOES has them as well. In my vehicle it will sit up near the defroster vent of the windshield and have enough signals to operate ok without the car roof messing things up. My laptop plugs right...

Dave it may have been a while since you were there but Tacoma City Light has done a nice job on the ramp and is two lanes with a dock in between. Has a rest area and shower and lot of room for boat parking but on nice weekends in the summer forget it and no parking seems to be the order of the...

I guess my last message did not come thru. I noted that I took out the boat today for a few hours and all went well and was a nice day up here in the Cascade mountains. I commented on the hemp fenders and yes I do like them but am pretty cheap sometimes. I will wait and see what shows up at...

I copied the url for k7mxe-7 www2.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?call=k7mxe-7 and hopefully I copied it down correctly. Shows a red car that I need to change to a boat at the launch ramp.. Fun toy eh! All done on ham radio Bob H

If I remember things correctly You sealed up your boat and put it in a swimming pool. Sank the boat underwater and weighted the water that splashed out of the pool that would be what the boats displacement would be. No water could enter the boat and all the water would need to be gathered. It...

I did check out Gi Joes today and they were 5.5x20 but I see a flier for West Marine that has 5x16 on sale so will check them out as well. What the world needs is fenders made out of fender material like Polyfoam makes only with the shape of a tire just for tugs. I like the tire theme but the...

They would look real good I would admit. It would be nice that I would not have to rig and un rig every time I get underway. The rash from lock walls would not show either. I do have a neighbor who has cattle and generates bale twine that is a real bright green color but is very strong and...

The ones I will use on deck are way too big so they will never see the lockers at all. I did get one in and had a devil of a time getting it out. I may be able to gain a quarter of a inch with a router. The lockers are open on the bottom so storing much else there is out. If they were two...

Thanks Nam I think I had looked over theirs and forgot now why I passed on them I am thinking they must have been 5.5x20. The fenders that came with the boat new were way oversize and did not fit at all. The deal in town was from Walmart but they were too big as well, close however. I was out...

Has any one found fenders that fit the fender locker. I measure it at 5x20 and can not find that size anywhere. So where did you find yours at? Bob Heselberg Eatonville Wa

Usually held twice a year and next one is April 7th at Fishermans Supply on Lake Union. Try 48 north swapmeet in Google for info. Good way to get rid of unwanted stuff and get fresh stuff to replace it with. Rain or Shine. And yes it does start early with flashlights. Enjoy Bob Heselberg...

I wonder if the factory has already designed a logo that would be suitable. Wheres the factory guys on this? Bob H

What about the Tug Thugs? Kinda leaves them out! I had thought of this and the capital letter C would also work and be more simple. Food for thought I guess Bob Heselberg Eatonville Wa

Your local radio club in Anchorage will be able to set you up with ham radio classes for getting your first "ticket". Normal entry level license is the Technician. It does have some below 30mhz bandwidth. Voice operation is in the 28.3 to 28.5 band plus several morse code bands. This is...
