I agree Barry. About these twin winches........ Must be February :lol: M

For those rare (hopefully) cases I would simply extend the strap with one of my (heavy duty) dock lines. Double it up if in doubt. But then, I'm mean :-) M

I have read some posts on people using this http://www.amsteelblue.com/ instead of wire cable but cannot comment from own use. Merv

I have used both on the RF246 and would comment :- 1. Cable is very hard to rewind evenly, will kink and/or jam eventually and you WILL get nasty bits of very sharp, rusty steel in your fingers. 2. If you use an electric winch, it will NOT lock in the fully wound position like a manual winch...

Barry, They are now required in houses in WA, maybe that's what led you astray. (Or are you living on your boat now :lol: ) On the topic of CO detectors on boats be aware they do not last forever!! Mine were time expired so I went to the "Toy Shop" to get new ones and found that the one (and...

Happy Birthday Dusty, and many more :cake :cake :cake Merv & Kathy

Congrats: thup Glad it worked out for you. Finally y'all came out of the closet :-) Happens to us all and it doesn't exclude old (some old, some very old and some just plain old, Old OLd, OLD) friends from our future adventures. Life goes on. Now let's get real, serious questions:- How many...

Warren, You only need this kit. All instructions included and you don't even have to undo the lug nuts on your wheels :-) http://www.seaboundsupply.com/smartplug ... QgodIH0ASw Merv PS. Nice to see you back on here. You have been very quiet.

I keep looking at the Album of "Boats on Display" and am amazed to find that most of them have two legs and a big smile :-) Did anyone take any pictures of the aquatic version ?? I can quite understand not showing anything from the Tap room, what happens there, clearly stays there :wink: M

Mine was even easier than Roger's as the orginal receptacle had the same hole size(s) as the Smart Plug and the orginal rigger was even "smart" enough to allow enough slack wire to pull the whole assembly out and get at the rear end. Otherwise I would have been looking for a 1'6" Gnome with...

David, I changed the boat end plug and receptacle to the "Smart Plug" last year and found the instructions that came with the kit to be very complete and easy to follow. Hardest bit was physical access to the existing receptable(in my case). Well worth the money for peace of mind if your boat...

You might need to check if the Wallas can actually draw fuel from the tank up to the new height. It's been a while since I had one of these so I don't know what the max figure is. I do know that if you ever get air in the supply line it might take you a certain number of "tries" to get it...

I agree. I have found the Victron to be extremely easy to fit and it gives a much more detailed and correct indication of what is happening and how much charge you have left. Much better than simply reading voltage. M

Barry, Probably the Rum Runner Pub :-) :thup :beer Lots of good places within 1/2 mile M

Tom. I concur with Bill. I have never used a Raymarine reader and it worked just fine. Can't lay my hands on it right now or I would send one of the dogs over with it :-) On edit. Has anyone tried simply downloading it and dumping on a chip using the reader built into a laptop ??? Can't see why...

Tom, You could add the passenger ferry that got stuck in the Port Townsend canal yesterday apparently citing "confusion" about which side of a red Bouy he should have passed. Take a look at the chart...Seems to me that when there is a red one and a green one, then you go between them in the...

El & Bill, From the UK, My "Bro" suggests following:- My mate has sold his narrow boat so is no longer active in that world I would suggest your friends wll do just as well by looking at the web. Try www.waterwaysholidays.com for a pretty comprehensive selection of areas. If they want a really...
