Revisiting a 14-year-old question from Dr. Bob (in another thread I've been unable to respond to, due to some kind of glitch): I’m researching a possible trip to SE Alaska this summer, and it appears as though the fastest and most economical way to get my boat there from Seattle will be to...

With the U.S.-Canadian border finally open (for northbound travelers), my brother Bill and I are planning a three-week exploration of one of my favorite places, the Great Bear Rainforest, starting Sept. 6. We plan to launch from Telegraph Cove, and cross Queen Charlotte Strait to Murray...

Folks, I will be hauling my CD-22 up Vancouver Island in early September, from Duke Point to Telegraph Cove. Does anyone have suggestions on where I can pull over and get some sleep, midway through that drive? My ferry from Tsawwassen doesn't get into Duke Point until 5:15 p.m., so I won't have...

Fellow Brats, I am taking my boat, Osprey, to Glacier Bay (and hopefully back), from the Seattle area. I’ve been on the water now since May 31, and have logged 652.6 NM. Hoping to be in Prince Rupert Tuesday, and in Ketchikan by the 13th—Dixon Entrance conditions permitting. You can see an...

I recently bought a long piece of Hypervent to (hopefully) rid my V-berth mattress of condensation. I bought more than I needed, and have 10 feet left over — just enough to do the V-berth on another CD-22. Including Washington state tax, I paid $10.99 a foot for the Hypervent; so the face value...

Can anyone tell me what the dimensions of a CD-22 v-berth are? At the widest part of the berth, narrowest, and down the centerline?

Apologies if this has already been covered, but I have been getting leaks at the points where my roof rails are attached to the cabin top. The leaks have been showing up at the corners of the wooden handrails inside the cabin. As a temporary fix, I have caulked around the mounting points on the...

My Horizon 600 is giving up the ghost, and I have been looking at both the Lewmar Pro-Series H700 and the Lewmar Pro Fish 700FF. But each gets some fairly dismal reviews. Like this one: There doesn’t seem to be any way of telling when the negative reviews were written. Maybe--is this wishful...

Folks, I recently happened upon an old discussion (http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=59&sid=95bde120bbb205b4ca4584d273f6730c) of battery wiring for twin Honda 40s, and now have a better understanding of why the charging coil in my starboard engine got fried (once for the boat's previous...

I've been keeping my boat in the uncovered trailer compound at the Everett Marina. I am looking for covered space--garage, carport, barn, abandoned bingo hall--as close to Kenmore, WA, as possible. Osprey has a very high radar arch, so I'll need about 11.5 feet of clearance. I will greatly...

I have removed, and then reinstalled, my Wallas stove five or six times this season, and have stripped the holes for the four screws that hold it to the cabinet. What is the most bombproof material for refilling (and then re-drilling) the holes? Also, I would like to glue my paper towel rack to...
