You don't have to take the super lube system apart if you want to change grease. Just raise your trailer and rotate the hub while you pump in your new grease, continue until you see that your new grease has displaced the old. Heres a link to the owners manual for your hub...

Today the Mighty Chack Chack did an interesting thing, on July the 3rd we passed under the Verrazano Narrows Bridge into New York Harbor. Today the Chack Chack passed under the Astoria Bridge on our way down the Columbia. Whoo Hoo Eric

We figure about 2.7 mpg cruising with the Chack Chack overall. Our longest run on the loop was from Hoppies below St. Louis on the Mississippi to Kentucky Lake which is 230 miles, no fuel stops. Part is with the current - down the Mississippi, and part against the current - up the Ohio. We...

Pat, Heather is running Charts and Tides for the West Coast on her I phone now that we have Chack Chack back from our Great Loop trip. I think you would love it on an I Pad to use in conjunction with your chart plotter. On the loop we ran CMAP on our Standard Horizon CVP 350 usually with some...

Go to www.boatingflagpoles.com, he makes a nice flag pole that will fit in your rod holder and gives you a free American flag as well Eric

I think the real problem is the poor quality of the Chinese trailer tires that have been poured into the US. As far as I can tell there is no longer a domestic trailer tire made. The trailer tire with the best reputation is Maxxus made in Taiwan. Age of the tire obviously plays a role but I...

Tug, we really like the float-on aluminum trailer we bought from Mark while we were in Apalachicola, its a much better fit for our CD 25 then our Pacific trailer was and is super to power load on. Eric

The weather gods smiled on Chack Chack for our last off shore run from Manasaquan to New York. After exiting the inlet we had flat calm seas on the Atlantic and no wind all the way up to Sandy Hook, and then into New York Harbor. We could see the smog from the city over the ocean first, it...

Chack Chack made Manasaquan, NJ today coming up the NJICW. We saw one skinny spot where some of the bigger boats were churning up the mud but again had no problems. Today is off to the boardwalk with Hannah and Morgan and then some pool time. Tomorrow we are set to make the run to New York...

We have had a nice time on the NJICW. While most of the Great Loopers bypass most of New Jersey we have made stops in Cape May, Ocean City, Atlantic City, Beach Haven today and tomorrow we will take the NJICW to Point Pleasant, then make the run up to NYC. Each town has been pleasant, we...

Chack Chack had a pretty uneventful run down the Delaware Bay today, a little on the nose bashing halfway down but then that all seemed to settle down. We pulled into Ulrich's today (I didn't see Will-C's post until this afternoon), refueled and then went into to Cape May. Somewhat of a long...

We bummed around the Baltimore waterfront after I went on a early morning run, the inner harbour is just beautiful and nicely redone. We went to the Orioles games this afternoon at Camden Park which is a classic and was almost as much fun as the White Sox vs Cubs game we went to when we were...

We cruised Chack Chack from Solomons up to St Michaels on Thursday, then left on Friday morning for Annapolis, which is a great city for on foot sight seeing and a nice downtown within easy walking distance of our marina, as well as the US Naval Acadamy. From Annapolis we came up to...

Today we left Solomons around ten and made the run up to East Bay and then down to St. Michaels. Its another pretty town with lots of small shops and nice restaurants. Very interesting architecture as you walk through town. We will be off to Annapolis tomorrow then up to Balitmore to stay in...
