If the windlass is down I can haul my anchor from my pot puller in the cockpit. If I'm solo and without a motor to pull the anchor, I use the line running from my bow eye to my cockpit running through a regular 2" ring. I drop my anchor from the cockpit, tie it to the ring at the desired...

Just cool.

I have nothing to do with this boat, but was just browsing around and thought there might be someone on here who would have their ears pinned back with this one: http://alaskaboatbrokers.com/listings_detail.php?id=309

I do think a redundant MFD is going to be the ultimate goal, but for now, not in the budget. I need AP and Radar first. No sense building redundancy for gear you don't own yet!

Things that an AP can accomplish can also be accomplished other ways. The OP is looking for an AP that can hold a heading. Seems as though the thread isn't "do I need an AP" or "are there things I NEED and AP for". Forgive me if I'm off here, but maybe the comments about how you don't need AP...

you got good feedback. I'm a big fan of the gravity fed diesel drip variety, and there are several options. If you've ever been on a boat that needs batteries to make heat out of diesel fuel and not had the batteries, the frustrations are indelible. You can get passive results from a propane...

I responded to a boat adrift on an outgoing tide once. It was dark, we had communication with the boat but their lights were dead, and they used up all of their good flares before anyone even knew to look for them. If they hadn't had expired flares on board we would have had a heck of a time...

There is an infant insert for the young child suit. It's all crazy $$$. I wouldn't go for the double up. A good neck seal is important for the suit doing its job.

I am looking for an immersion suit for my toddler. The only thing I've found must be imported and costs over $800. This suit works for kids 26-51 lbs, and there is an insert that can be used with smaller kids/infants: https://www.scandiagear.com/products/li ... it-sc-aayc I cannot seem to find...

edited due to premature post! This is a very important point! You would ideally plan this trip to enter and exit the bay during neap tides at a slack high tide. In a CD22 you should be able to enter the bay easily enough, as you would enter a bar entrance, using the boat's speed and...

I don't really know much about these motors in particular, but in general the lower hp offerings from a given block tend to last longer (all other things equal) than the higher hp offerings. Perhaps that is not the case here, I don't know, but in many situations where longevity, or hard use are...

The standard plan would be to drop some fuel with a landing craft or an airplane prior to your trip. You gotta trust that nobody poached them, and that a bear didn't go chew on it!

No problem. I checked with them and they have frozen fillet portions from 2017 available now. You can get frozen salmon all over though. I'd hold out for the fresh stuff!

Plenty of direct market salmon fishermen out there who might see this. Here is one I know personally that sells a very very high quality product that is headed, gutted, and pressure bled Copper River Salmon, shipped out on a jet and you pick it up at the airport fresh fresh fresh...

It's nice. I'm going to add a spring line this year so it's a little less sharp a pull for the fish. I've tangled lines plenty, and no doubleheader needed. Because I have a subsistence card I regularly fish 4 lines all by myself. I often get tangled. I also put chum out on a manual...
