Thanks Noro, from the photo and description thats exactly the set up I had in mind.

For those running twins, who has throttle control at the main helm and a second set of throttle control? Either remote or at a aft station with a second hydraulic wheel? Looking at a 23 venture and was thinking twin 60 suzuki's. Wanting a aft helm in the cockpit with shift/throttle control...

I see I did say it twice... going to chalk that up to a phone/internet glitch.

I don't yet have a cdory, but in my boat I've a through hull for a raw water washdown, gets used in saltwater all the time, but I also make sure to flush it same as the motors. I use salt water all the time to wash down the cockpit. I've 2 1500 rules within 2' of the through hull and...

Saw the title post and came here to say something to this effect. It is not over fussing/fusing. I would strongly suggest fuses directly the battery posts. Personal favourite style, cube/block fuses. Compact. https://a.co/d/7YDVYCB Adequate if line side (between battery and this holder)...

Nice. Congrats on the new gear, always a fun time.

Yeah I think we're safe from the machines for a while yet 🙄😂 good for a laugh though

Just for fun, I asked Grok (AI on X) about shock absorption on a steel cable anchor rode. Adding shock absorption to a steel cable anchor rode is a great idea to reduce stress on your boat and its anchoring system, especially in heavy seas. Steel cable is strong but lacks elasticity, so it...

I'm going to be stopping in to the seller in north van this friday hopefully and take a more solid look at the 23 venture. Been waiting for them to bring in a 25/26 but with current political stuff who knows if/when that'll happen. I spoke with Cope (Bruce) via email, he's stopped doing custom...

Earlier, Thataway mentioned adding shock absorb to a drum winch. A solution for long term/overnight anchoring would be a couple of prusiks, run a snubber between them with slack of the mainline. Cons would having to tie on the prusiks on the bow and part of the purpose of the drum is to not...

For anyone else wondering what I was talking about re: quick release anchor system. https://www.riteanglefishing.com/produc ... ystem-6000 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=alnxr9itfVk Theres other videos explaining and some variation to them. One thing I'll add is that the slide ring I added hose...

Nice video. Where/when I anchor for hali, not sure, but most likely will continue to use my stern release system for safety but also avoid tangling with the rode playing the fish. I also like to attach chum bag to my anchor so leaving it down is best. The motor failure in video was certainly...

Some great discussion/information here certainly to consider. For me its ease of use anchoring multiple spots in a day between overnighting and various fishing locations. Often in cool, wet weather. For halibut fishing I currently use a set up with a quick release line from bow to the...

Given the anchor swivel topic going on, thought I'd necro this topic. Anyone with more to add on the subject of drums in the last couple seasons? Was a option I was considering myself. Sounds like its a tight fit on a 22, is the 23 venture any better or worse?
