I have made metal fuel pick up lines out of an automotive brake line. :smiled A good automotive parts store will have a selection of steel brake lines. Just pick one long enough to suit your needs and cut it in half. Wallah! Now you have two pick up lines with a flared fitting on each end...

I had to replace the fuel lines for both my outboards this season. :sad The Gas only for the big engine had gotten brittle on the plastic end and the bulb was getting hard to compress. The 2 cycle kicker fuel line had the same problem and a few years ago one of the plastic lines on the big...

I use a 12VDC laptop with Coastal Navigator and a Lowrance depth sounder. For navigating in fog in the San Juan Islands, I use a Washington State Ferry Schedule. Ferries run at a reduced speed in fog and there is usually one going in your direction. :wink

I just put a wooden cap on the 80qt. ice chest/fish box/catch all. :wink

Glad to hear others are having success with this program, as it keeps locking up on me. I'll try again. :?

Has anyone tried to open an account in ArriveCan ? It says you can open an account, but you can't schedule a trip until 72 hours of reporting in. What a can of worms. :sad

:( :( Odd that there is no motor visible. A 22' C-Dory would have the motor bolted onto the transum.

Doesn't the upper part of your cabin hatch lock to the lower half ? As far as the shift lever. I found I had to reach behind me to put it into reverse. :smilep

Nice clean job. What is the purpose of the hatch cover in the port side bulkhead? Is is a storage compartment, or what? Also, how do you find the throttle placement? I had to make a bracket to move mine forward.
