Anyone have a gut feel for when the season dates might be for this year? I've looked but I don't think they've been announced so far.

I'm going to have to replace my trailer. Now I have a King (and I live near their factory in Washington state). I've searched the forum for some current info but haven't yet found much that was helpful (I've searched the Inet too). At the moment I'm just trying to get a ballpark cost figure for...

I hinted in a previous post about an upcoming long trip. Well, I left Guemes Island (just north of Anacortes, WA) at 10am on July 6th. For safety and exploring, I wanted a slow trip....and I'm taking 10 weeks (be back mid September). I am doing the trip solo, so decision making is simple. I've...

I have a ProMariner "ProTournament 360 Elite Dual" model #52032 charger (36 amps with 2 outputs). It works great and I am very happy with it, EXCEPT...... Starting in the 3rd year or so that I've had it, the charger stops charging a couple of times a year for no apparent reason. Typically, the...

I'm about to install a new BEP 716-Sq-140A-Dvsr cluster of switches and VSR. The VSR has a special loop of wire that can be cut (see image below) so that one can install a toggle switch which disables the VSR totally. I want to do this so that when the boat is in storage, and on my dual output...

I've been analyzing the AC and DC configurations on my boat because I'm pretty sure I have some wiring errors (mostly surrounding how the batteries are configured and charged). Yesterday, I did perhaps a foolish thing. Can anyone explain it? While underway with both the starter and house...

Maybe it's just me, or maybe something's changed....... When I go on this site, I use the "View posts since last visit" link. This lists all threads that have a new post since my last visit. For each thread on that list, I click on the little orange square, and the system takes me directly to...

Yep. Normally I support the WDFW without complaint since I figure they are motivated to protect the health of the fishery. Everybody can make mistakes. But this year I have to admit that there has been a great deal of flip-flopping. So now I have to remove all my crusing gear and put the...

So that's it for the San Juans. I had a trip planned for the Waldron area this weekend too. NUTZ

I have 2 of these. Brand new, but several years old. They were for my old Honda 150 engine. Now that I've re-powered to a Yamaha 200, I have no need for them. If someone can use them, PM me with your address and I will mail them to you.

I decided to remove the heat element from the factory installed 6 gallon hot water heater in my CD25 (why is another story). I learned some things from doing this. First off, the tank drains into the shower sump (I always wondered why those "extra" hoses lead to the shower sump); makes sense...

I'm making modifications to my fresh water system. I will be installing several of these fittings. The ones currently on the boat seem to be made of some sort of black plastic (PVC?). I have found some similar on Amazon that say they are made from "high strength PPSU (polyphenylsulfone)" (sounds...

I have a mooring ball attached to a heavy concrete block in 5 feet of water at minus 3.0 foot tide; the highest tides we see are about plus 9.0 feet. I have 2 or 3 feet of chain through a U-shaped tube molded into the concrete block. That piece of chain attaches to 20 feet of 3/4" nylon rope via...

I have a hot water heater on my CD25. I never use it. I am at anchor 85% of the time so no shore power and water is precious. Indeed, it is that last value, conserving water, that is the primary reason I don't use the heater since one has to run over a quart of water into the sink (or saving...

I've attempted research on this, but I can't find anything other than how to flush your engine. If one is underway, and, for whatever reason, the hose (or other component) of the flush port breaks or disappears, can one safely continue to run the engine? My guess would be yes. A heavily...

My C80 just crapped out yesterday while crabbing. I can't believe how blind I felt (not even knowing depth!). I checked into new MFDs I could substitute, but they are all incompatible with my radar and probably depth sounder.....so I'd have to replace everything :crook. My best bet is likely...

A friend and I are planning a 6 to 8 week cruise from the Seattle area to somewhere north of the Queen Charlottes. My boat is adequately (just) equipped for such a journey, but his boat (an Osprey) is new and lightly equipped. I've been searching the C-Brat site for a list of recommended...

A friend of mine just published what is likely the definitive book on razor clamming. If you are into razors, this book might interest you: https://www.amazon.com/Razor-Clams-Trea ... +northwest

I've searched around the forum but can't seem to find an answer (what I did find, addressed interior surfaces). I would like to mount a couple snaps to the outside of the hull, well above water line maybe 12" below the top surface of gunnel where one steps into the cockpit of a CD25. I will...
