    Switching off power to Garmin reactor 40 autopilot

    It may be less at idle but how much do you need. I run all of those items, radar and downriggers being the most power draw, plus a fridge on a different battery but charged by the same motors, and never had a low battery. Never not been able to start my 225 main after 8 hours of running just the...

    Switching off power to Garmin reactor 40 autopilot

    A honda 90 at idle puts out 35 amps to the battery. You or worrying about a none problems. many of the newer motors in this size range put out even more due to the high amount of electronic on boats today. bass and walleye fishing drive most of the tech requirements in these motors today...

    How heavy is your anchor on a CD25 or 26?

    yeah so, Chain is the bigger factor in anchor set then the weight of your anchor. a heavier anchor will set faster then a lighter one , but a lighter anchor with a lot of chain will set just as fast and better. its all about getting the angle of the rode as low as possible when you set the...

    Dingy launch

    I just do it by hand from the roof. Have a long lead rope tied to the bow of the dinghy. Turn the dinghy so the stern is hanging over the side edge of the roof. tilt the bow up until the stern is resting in the water. No lift the bow and the stern will float away from the boat as you lower the...

    Prince Rupert launching/parking

    I would just launch out of Washington and go on the hull. It only adds 2 to three days if you just push thru. Doubt you are saving a lot money wise going to PR but that just depends on where you are coming from.

    Sure glad we no longer have a C Dory

    Must just be me and my family. but a lighting storm coming is an excuse to sit out side and watch the show. Texas was great for that. House sat on a long ridge with a view north for 100 miles. If we heard a big storm coming we would have dinner on the back deck and watch the show roll by. When...

    Questionable Transom - seeking advice before purchase!

    Really? is a term I only use for friends and people I know. That must be a culture or age thing. Never heard it thought of as derogatory.
