    Leaking wash down pump fitting

    Hello All: Last year was a total washout as far as boating was concerned. We became involved (entangled/entrapped?) in a substantial home re-model project that not only sucked up all available energy, but also severely depleted our financial resources. Accordingly, Sal Salis Vita...

    Replacement Lazarette Covers (Again)

    Hello All: I received a PM from a C-Brat asking about our replacement Lazarette covers. Jack was interested in the part number, and had questions about the installation. I replaced both covers in the Spring of 2012 and intended to post a note about the project along with pics then, but that...

    Splash Well Shelf

    The Splash Well Shelf We wanted a place where we could set the Honda EU 2000 generator, and BBQ, as well. For most of the summer, we’d been BBQing on the aft deck, but it presented both a tripping hazard, as well as the potential for a burned nose if one of the “crew” sniffed too...

    Homecoming-Back to Lake Barkley/Kentucky Lake Oct. 2011

    We took our boat to the Kentucky Lakes area for a visit in the fall of 2011. Following is an account: Friday 10/7 Buzzard Rock Marina (Approximately MM 39.3 Lake Barkley) Back in the late 90’s we kept our 37’ trawler here for three years. It was a very friendly laid-back spot...

    Gasoline Security (FYI)

    Hello All: In addition to Sal Salis Vita we also have a 19' Welcraft center console that we keep on a lift on our lake. It's very close to where we live, but we can't see the boat from our house because of the trees. The kids use this boat for tubing/skiing, while Lori and I have a...

    Hello All: Can someone provide the manufacturer, size, and model number for the replacement lazarette covers that Joel on Sea3PO formerly made available? I emailed him, but he no longer has any of the pertinent information. He believes they were made in New Zealand, and the...

    Best Anchorages/Restaurants lower Kentucky Lake/Lake Barkley

    Hello C-Brats: We are going to trailer Sal Salis Vita to lower Kentucky Lake the second week in October. One of our favorite activities aboard is to anchor out. Can the Brats suggest any great spot(s) to put down the hook in that part of Kentucky Lake, and/or lower Lake Barkley? It...

    Trailer Side Guide Height

    Hello All: We want to simplify loading the boat on the trailer. Lori doesn't like trailer maneuvering, so I handle that. She and the pups are, therefore in the boat. She'd like to simplify centering the boat on the trailer, especially when it's windy, or there's current, or other boat...

    A Tale of Two Heads (with apologies to Charles Dickens)

    A Tale of Two Heads Sal Salis Vita came with the standard “well known manufacturer” compact head, and holding tank combination. OK… we can deal with it (I told myself). Since our boat was a 2007 model that not been sold until we came along, some of the systems had yet to be used. It was...

    Lake Ouachita Adventure

    Lake Ouachita Adventure Oct. 10, 2010 We left our house near Branson, MO around 9:00 AM. The plan had been to leave at 8:00, but you know how that goes! Finally everything was aboard, and secured. We put the trailer on the truck, and off we went...

    Boat Letter Size

    Hello C-Brats: We bought the 26' Cape Cruiser Marinaut from Three Rivers Marine in Crystal River, FL. a couple months ago. We're having a ball with her, but need some advice on how big to have the vinyl letters made for her name. She is to be christened Sal Salis Vita (Salt Water...
