I bought a 2005 22 that had the rounded floor. When the factory came out with the raised flat floor I bought just the floor piece and had a shop glass it in for me. Mine was the only boat to do it but you could ask the current factory if they would be willing to do that for you or sell you the...

Will the situation where you're watching the boat go by but the reporting is 3 days old is more likely due to the fact that they didn't turn it on. you have to have AIS in the boat and you have to turn it on. Like I said it was just a way to see if you like the system I've seen boats that are...

before buying AIS try using the " marine tracker App" on your phone while on the water. I run it all the time. It can be an hour or a second behind but its a good test bed for if you really need ais to began with, I dont but if I was going to get a new vhf for some reason I would get one with...

Zuum call your congress member and demand that all fishing charters require AIS, you know for safety. :lol: All the digital radars are pretty good now. hell in comparison to 20 years ago they are magic. I like to use mine as a over lay on my chart plotter. Not as a stand alone screen. Just...

Always radar first over AIS. Radar will show you what is close to you and that is what is going to hit you first. Why put your faith in others having AIS or radar when you can have radar that shows every thing with in a mile.? Ais is nice but only as a back up to radar or as a long distance...

But only if the other boats one has it. Still just an add on to having radar. I still see people commenting < not here< that they got radar and AIs so other boats can see them. That is not how radar works. and unless you have transmit, which most dont, thats not how AIS works either. Had to...

In the Puget sound I wound say most deadheads are old trees washed down river. Some are old pilings that have rotted off or washed out. After a good spring storm the Everett area is covered with logs laying horizontally, some 6 inches to a few feet under the water. We hit one like that once in...

You just gave me a reason to buy a cross bow. just put little flags on them.

I have do this twice. once in my 22 and again in my 27. I might be doing it again is a friends 22. Its not very hard Its just scary cutting out the hole the first time. The Electrical is the harder part. Tips: make sure you know where you want it before you cut. and it has nothing to do with...

Its an arima

notice they never mention the low range at a good speed or the low speed of the high range? just toys for the rich and not much good for anything else. The modern internal combustion engine is so clean and reliable I don't know why this electric engine fade is still pushed. zif you are on a no...

I would like to see that boat.

The owner of that boat took it, on its own hull, to alaska and turned it over to his family. He was a embassy security employee that did not het home very often. He blew the motor and had to install another one on the trip north, His brother joined him but broke his leg or cut it really bad and...

Well I have only used the lift 2 to 4 times in over 20 years. I prefer never to use one. boat ramps are best. but of the 3 boat lifts i know of in this area none will jack your boat up. You have to have slot in your bunk one way or another.

Trailer came that way but i would assume ( be careful ) that the factory could tell you. it would be a matter of center of mass, then equal distance from center of mass to divide the boat in thirds to place the two straps. I have only used a lift a few times and hate to watch when we do that.

had this problem with an older raymarine and it was the declutter button, which is self hiding and hard to find if you dont know but easy to hit by accident.

On my boat trailer the bunks are two layers high. One 2 by 6 over the top of another . where the straps go the bunk is only one board high. So it makes a notch wide enough for the straps.

If the water gets to temp your fine. Its just here at my house, and many others, my well water is very cold and the at idle the motor will not heat up. I have tested it. so if I want the thermostats to open i have to increase the RPM. If you have 70 degree water like i did in Sacramento your fine.

if this has not been done a lot or you think you have build up I would recommend using salt away. Also remember that you need the thermostats to open or your not getting a good flush. The water from my well is so cold it will never open the thermostats at idle. WITH THE MOTOR IN NEUTRAL. run up...
