It’s funny that they are so close to each other but Ricka is right, it’s to hang your fender. Might have been to cleat both end of the fender so they are parallel to the water, as opposed to just hanging down.

I could be wrong, but it look to me that your spare tire might have help the boat go sideways. You might want to look for a better location for it.

Most compost marine head are self contained and could be keep in the cockpit and easily cary inside the cabin if more privacy is needed or for night time. That will work good on the 22. They are also much taller then the standard porta potty, much more comfortable to use.

Bob is right, and it is a bit misleading. Compost toilet (at least the one we are talking about here) do not produce a finish product. It start the process but will not be usable unless finish in a much bigger compost bin, or can be dispose of in other ways.

I have an Air Head composting toilet in my new to me boat and have used it for a full summer now, I can attest that it work very good for me and was pleasantly surprise as I was not expecting to like it very much. It does separate liquids and solids, I empty the liquid every day, the solids...

I’ll add one more vote for the v-berth, forward side of helm bulkhead, mine was under the actual berth. That location allow me to just move the hydraulic hose from the steering pump to the tee at the autopilot pump without having to adjust the length. I’m not very familiar with the layout of the...

In my opinion it is a very good stove, very simple and few thing to go wrong. Fuel is readily available and like I said before, safe fuel in a boat, if you spill some, just wipe it and clean your windows with it. If you are not happy with it, I can take it off your hand :D

You should have a gasket that need to be remove before use, if not present, the alcohol will evaporate quite fast. Even with the gasket, it will evaporate so unless you know it was filled up recently, it’s probably empty. If you have 2 burner, you can just fill one if you are not planning to use...

Congrats, enjoy your new boat, and yes, please show us some pictures.

Thanks Colby, I’ll try to minimize the chance of getting water inside the burner as much as I can.

Peter & Judy, thanks for your comment. Like you, it is a very rare occurrence but it does happens. right now I feel like I have an opportunity to improve on it with the added bonus of getting a bit of heat inside the head compartment. I’m running it through this site first to make sure I’m not...

I’ll be installing a forced air diesel heater inside the galley cabinet and debating about where to install the exhaust port. I have a Wallas stove with the exhaust port right below it, just above the waterline, very similar to my previous 22 cruiser. I had in a few rare occasions, in both the...

Donald, have you purchased a new boat? If so, tell us more about it. Or maybe you already did and I missed it.

I have experienced several times those temperature change affecting the air pressure on the dinghy. Happens mostly in the morning when at the "mother ship” but also a few times where I go to shore in the afternoon for a nice long walk, come back early evening just before sun set to find quite...

Colby, I have been boating here in Alaska for 20 years now, I always kept my dinghy in an unheated shed for the winter mounts, with temperatures reaching 40 below at times. I never touch it or move it around during below freezing temperatures. I haven’t seen any issues with doing it this way...

Yes, but I also sometimes put one dog bed under the v-berth (area for the porta potty) and that work very good as well.

Most dog are great on boat, I’m sure you’ll have not problems with yours. I never did long distance cursing like mention above, so was a lot simpler for me, I just take them to shore a few times a day. Like Bob said, they see the boat as living space and I never had to train them to not go in...
