AFI has a website with wiper info for the AFI 1000 if you need to change the direction of the park or the sweep of the motor. Sweep can be changed to several positions. And two motors on one switch can be done with a diode and that information is also online. I changed from the...

I elected to do it by mail to get my number and I am still waiting. Go figure. I sent it to boat US. Bob Heselberg Eatonville Wa[/b]

Just another note on this. I am speaking from the inboard motor point of view but think its the same with a outboard. Never turn the motor with the prop. Use neutral if you have to move the prop or pull the impeller first. You can damage the fins of the impeller real fast if they get...

I see in the state of Washington they will require you to have a placard in your boat warning of carbon monoxide. You will get a free one when you buy new stickers. Nice handout at the license office as well. Don't know about other states but I got my sticker today in Tacoma, Auditors office...

Good show on the new boat, I am sure you will have a great time on it. Just one note however, knowing no one can read all the books and manuals that come with a new boat. I was reading the Yanmar 30hp book that came with the Ranger 21 tug and noticed there is quite a service checkup at 50...

Don I never had read the article before and enjoyed it after reading it just now. Was easy to find and had great pictures. I got the boat home and in put it in the shed yesterday. Decided to try out my front mounted trailer hitch and forgot about providing power for the disc brakes but...

Yep me too. My C80 Raymarine setup has a nice bridy signal on 22 American and Coast Guard broadcasts well don't sound so nice. I think I am stuck with it as all the systems are tied together in one box. Too much stuff in too a little of space. Bob Heselberg Eatonville Wa

Well Dave I had planned on getting down your way on Friday but got my plans changed one more time with a phone call from Kathy at EQ harbor service and guess I will be on the road to the north picking up the boat and bringing it home. I will give it a try next week and have some pictures by...

I did subscribe to it on a deal that all can take advantage of. I got two years of Heartland Boating and a left over Quimbys guide for less than the cost of the Quimbys which means I got two years for free. Well made magazine and they will send anyone interested a copy to check it...

Well to answer the questions, What my plan for 07 was to check out Cumberland river and maybe the Tenn Tom down to salt water and on way back to Washington I thought about checking out Powell Lake in Az. I put good use to the tides that were available yesterday and went up the inside making use...

Today I picked up my slightly used 2006 Ranger 21ec Tug. Took it up to EQ Harbor Service at Oak Harbor Wa. They had sold it new and first owner changed directions in his life and well only problem was it did not have a trailer so EQ is fixing me up with a new EZ Loader. Boat ran the...

The float planes have bladder tanks to haul 275 gal of fuel but you will need a fuel depot where someone will not help themselves to your fuel. Make sure you check out and take pictures of the High School in Hay River and its rather pretty paint job. Purple eh! For navagation check out...

Ice in Wollochet bay near Tacoma was normal in winter when things got cold for several days. Odd at first when sleeping on my sailboat I heard this noise and took some brain work to figure out what it was. Fresh water on top of salt. But with global warming it should be a thing of the...

Well I was at the sellers office when it opened and none of the phone messages or emails had been looked at so I guess I was first however I was only interested in the cruising model and told the office person that I would pass it it was not the cruising model and she would ask her boss who...
