It's the angle and location more than the size. Before replacing ours with ones bought locally from the "Coleman skiff" folks, I could sit at the helm and watch water come and go thru mine. Super easy fit up as well as an opportunity to correct some of that shoddy workmanship! Their a skosh...

sometimes I have to laugh, even though that's not humor coming out of that line. We are currently changing the thru hull fitting (poop dump fitting)to one with threads on the outside! It will accept 2 inch hose and is real easy to use. Under the trailer, attached to the inside frame of the...

If you've ever blown up a battery at close range, you'll appreciate the safety an AGM affords! Thus, when I needed a stand alone battery for the pot puller, a group 27 lifeline was mounted under the galley cabinet. It's 65 lbs offset the 65 lb weight of the line hauler mounted on the other side...

Gee Harvey, I'm sorry. Give me a couple days as I've got to climb under the tarp once I bat the snow off to retrieve the magazine from the boat library! I'm quite surprised at even the remotest interest, I thought this was beat thoroughly back then? Martin.

The article I refer to, is the cover story "Trailerable Trawlers" from the May / June 2007 issue! I guess I could scan it too, if anyone were really interested. Martin

If I remember correctly the only cdory featured in the Passagemaker atricle a few years back was Huda Thunkit! (my boat) They did a spread on "Trailerable Trawlers". Martin

wow, ve thought it was only us! Martin

I guess ve are a bit skeptical. What part of "and he was buried at sea within 2 hours" don't I understand? Martin

many poeple have no understanding about tapered fits. Their beauty over a standard key or spline fit is two fold. straight shafts with keys or splines can and do work loose over time and at some point must be replaced. none are as strong as tapers either. On the other hand we have turbines...

that's the way tapers work. however, don't be mislead and believe you need an equal force to put it or it's replacement back on! clean and dry are your friends, the nut will do the rest. Martin

Earlier ve tossed out some funnie (to me) stuff, not much of it relevant though. It's interesting how much press this subject gets both here and in lower 48 states. As most stories, there are elements of truth in most of what ve read here but my conclusion is this. If you are that nervous about...

when you look at statistics, comparing numbers of bear attacks verses number of tourist coming here every year you should be comforted. Ve would be more concerned that the pilot of the airliner bringing you here, was not high or drunk or both! :disgust Ve have anchorages chosen for their...

Here in Alaska , ve shoot seahawks off the buoy's and no one seems to mind. Martin

Phew :shock: Martin

batting 100% in my picks this week, i feel compelled to offer the following predictions for the very near future. Pittsburg, then Green Bay, then Pittsburg again. :cry And this is coming from someone who doesn't know which way they point that thing when they throw it down the field. Martin
