Boat trip! Thisway chould make it around the country. Every port you hit, a c brat would share a boating experience with you to the next port. We would go thatway until you get completely down the west end,across the south side and up the east side to Maine. OHhh the memories. Glad to...

I use my compass for a general heading when not moving or at slow speed and then switch to my gps mapping display for running at speed.

Tabman I have the sport 120 tabs and the instructions say I may need a different sensor coil. I also have to cut the shafts. Do I need some additional parts? Thanks so much. I can not believe the great responses here. Jeff Did not get back to the store. They will be open tomorrow.

All righty then, its mine. Looks like it should not be to difficult to install. I will look and see if he has any more items and post them tomorrow. Thank you.

I have a chance to buy an indicator for my trim tabs for $50. The local dealer is getting rid of slow moving inventory. It is a bennett product that retails for $236. I have the bennett sport tabs on my hull. Would you do it? For those of you who have them is it informative and useful or...

Yikes who is going to get sideways to breaking waves. Not good at all. I most always run into or with. At all costs avoid going sideways in breaking swells. Larger ships can take some sideways as I saw our cutter take a pretty good one on the side while entering our harbor while towing a...

I kinda thought along the same line of light flat bottom boat without much nose rocker could be the issue for the bow steering. I checked the buoy reports to give a better report than seat of pants. When the wind freshened 25 kt gusting to 32 wave height 8.25 feet 5 to 6 sec As you can see...

HI T R Sorry I did not give you credit. I get overwhelmed with addressing all who responded. Your experience is right on as well. I re read and agree with your insight. I would not have been there except for oh well. So I was checking my boat on the trailer. Seems like port tab had...

Thanks for all the insight. I probably should have gone in when the wind freshened. Still over 10 miles from port so time wise not much difference for the run out another mile. I was comfortable in it and not worried. As to surfing the swells which I do all the time as I have done most my...

I took a high school friend and his buddy and my friend a pro camera guy out for some fishing and picture opts yesterday. Weather was a little breezy offshore but not to bad. Friend got sick, so I took him in and then went back out to fish. Bite was slow so we took off for reefs north of town...

With a current behind you, I think I would be especially observant of the towed dock to make sure it does not get stuck and cause you to get swamped by the following current. As Matt suggested have a knife ready and someone there to use it if needed.

If you fish commercially in Calif then your vessel is not subject to sales tax. Same rules apply to the commercial fishing gear. We need commercial boats as soon as the harbor gets fixed. What about the cost of bringing it home! I have some friends who have their 22 c dory for sale and are...

I keep mine on a trailer for day use but having it ready at the dock sure increases your boat usage. Many of the water kept boats are stored on hoists. This along with the house greatly reduces maintenance compared to a wet hull. Its also easier and more effective for flushing motors. Its...

Lucky guy. Your wife must fish but my wife would not be happy spending the nite with my hooker. javascript:emoticon(':lol:')

You really missed it! Great day at the beach. To see what you missed check out allan rouge studios.com\standup. Since this subject keeps popping up and so many have shown interest, the above website is an accumulation of 102 out of 6000 pictures of stand up surfing and paddling in our...

The Lake Shasta norm is more like drink 5 beers and get on the jet ski and go tearing off back to the marina at 45-65 mph to get the next several six packs before the crowd up in the hot tub on top of the houseboat roof runs out of brew. BBuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrppp!!! .......... ''cuse me!!! ...

Jouney on we do have a bar several infact but Everettes just got closed and the light house is called Point Saint George lighthouse. No big deal but boaters need to know the truth. Any time your in the area and would like a tour I would be happy to be your tour guide. Big swells...

The Crescent City entrance is one of the safer ones along the west coast. If it is not safe you most likely will recognize it and choose another day to go fishing. Associated with unsafe is Huge swell over 15 ft with short duration and waves crest outside the channel, high wind usually but...

Just got back from a 2500 mile road trip. Went to Ajo Az. I run a dodge pu with plus recommended. I paid around 3.60 per gallon in Crescent City, around 3.20 in So Oregon, prices went back up in Calif but lower in So Cal and in Az I was just over 3.00 for the same. That was pretty much the...

Thanks for the heads up on what I do. Full tanks could be empty here by the time you get back to the boat. Not only that but I prefer running fresh fuel. Maybe condensation is a regional thing. But I have not had a condensation problem and my water trap fuel filter seems to be clean. It...
