We're just back from 14 days on Lake Chelan, a great early season cruise before the crowds and fires begin. Before leaving I changed the primary racor filter, but since I'd done the high and low pressure fuel filters a year and only 50 hours ago I didn't change them. We launched and explored...

We picked up our new trailer this week- finished three weeks ahead of schedule. The construction details look very good to me, well thought out and clean. It's a lot longer and wider than the old EZ Loader which was a 4,700# capacity and this is 6,000#. We weigh 4,700# fully packed for cruising...

We've ordered a new Tuff Trailer which we'll get next month and for a shake down trip we're thinkng of a Northwest Lake circuit: Harrison Lake, BC Osoyoos Lake, BC Christina Lake, BC Lake Rooselvelt at Northport, WA Banks Lake (Steamboat Rock SP), WA Lake Chelan (Twenty-five Mile Creek SP), WA...

Hi all, It's time to buy a new flashlight as the last old expensive one has quit. It was pretty good but 9 AA batteries every season and $70 seems like it should have lasted forever. Does anyone have a recommendation for a flashlight they love? Looking for a large primary light for picking out...

Hi- We have Honda 40's on our 22, about 300 hours. I've just started doing the maintenance myself. Last oil change the starboard engine was milky and over-full. I put it down to condensation from lots of idling during crabbing, refilled and hoped for the best. I'm now having a small oil sheen on...

Hi Brats, During the engine flush after a couple of days out I noticed the starboard engine wasn't putting out charging voltage. I checked the internal engine fuses and found the alternator fuse was blown. Swapped it for the spare and it's working again. Does anyone have suggestions on what to...

We were looking at kicker options and layout and realized the best plan for us was repowering with twin 40's. The purchase and install was through Hein Marine here on South Whidbey and we're very happy with the job. They removed and drained the tank, installed seastar hydraulic steering, new...

Hi Brats, We have an EZ Loader torsion axle trailer. On the backside of the hubs there's a hole that let's grease leak out from the pressure of the bearing buddies. After every drive the bearing buddies are bottomed out and there's a grease drip form this hole. It's not threaded. Anyone know...

After a year of surveyors and tire kickers we sold our 38' ketch in September and today became the proud new owners of a 1989 22 cruiser! While we were working so hard and paying so much to sell our old boat, we'd take a break to walk the docks at Port Townsend and imagine this day. We're so...

Hi, all- Hoping we're in the "Welcome" section...? We're in the process of getting our Ingrid ketch ready to sell, and are thinking that a C-Dory will be our next boat. We wanted to join up and learn from y'all about the boats- looks like a good place to do that. Thanks,
