So, this is a random thing, but we left our table down in bench-seat / sofa mode all winter, and now the sliding wood piece on the bottom of the table is stuck so it won't slide to allow the hinged part to drop down. I beat on it with a rubber mallet and got it to move, but it's still very...

It's this: https://www.interstatebatteries.com/products/srm-24 81 amp hours.

Thanks everybody. I ordered a cig lighter voltage monitor. We have 2 batteries, both marine. Both Group 24 size? The starter battery says cranking and 800CCA / 1000MCA, the house is deep cycle and 550CCA / 690MCA / 140 RC. Just been reading lots of summaries and... yeah. Math. But even if I'm...

Hi everybody. This subject seems too complicated and it kinda makes my head spin. We are about to go do our SJI trip for 10-15 days out. Never done anything like that before and not sure how charged our house battery will stay since it doesn't seem like we'll be traveling too far every day. We...

Columbia sunset

A year into owning our boat, we finally got our name put on. Say Hi to "Agostino", named after our best pal dog who died just before we bought the boat. He would have loved it.

Done.

The application.

Alan, if you are in the Portland area, I’m happy to take you out in our C22 Cruiser sometime and let you check it out. Just PM me and we can figure something out. This is our first real boat and I’ve learned a lot, but it’s very a great learning process and we are planning our first trip to the...

Thanks, but our trip will be done or on the last day or so for the gathering. We’ll need our dinghy by then for making the most of our trip. It’s fine, I’ve heard enough to kinda know what we are getting into with our available affordable options.

Anybody have any nice solutions to the issue of where to keep a garbage can or how to keep your trash out of the way and secure from spilling everywhere? Specifically on a 22 Cruiser.

Thanks for all the feedback everybody. Not that I've narrowed it down any. Budget + no davit + no way of really trying out the options = we'll just take a guess and see how it goes. I'll probably just watch CraigsList for a while and see if anything good pops up or maybe try and find a pal with...

Ok, we pretty have it down to 2 choices in our budget for a dingy for our upcoming San Juans trip on our C22 Cruiser. We won't be able to afford a motor at this time and will be paddling and hoping for good conditions: Kaboat 12': https://www.boatstogo.com/kayaks-sk396.asp or Zodiac Wave 9'...

Yeah, I'm just digging around on Navionics and really seeing how close everything is. I feel like we can take it very easy every day and see tons of stuff. Also, it's only looking like crossing Rosario will be the only potentially rougher part of the traveling?

Thanks everybody, I am very excited and May can't arrive soon enough. So, am I hearing that since the distances aren't big, the order of which islands to visit doesn't matter too much? What would you say the average cruising time is between destinations at a nice mellow cruising speed...

Not looking to spend much time at marinas. Mostly just looking for quiet time away from people and work.

Ok. It’s decided. Giving ourselves an easy 10 days (with a couple extra wiggle room days in case weather gets dumb) to explore the San Juan’s, starting and ending in Anacortes about May 7th. Doing it in our C-22 cruiser, no dinghy yet, but will probably get a WM PRU-3 before we leave with...

Hey everybody, looking for your opinions, I have a feeling you might have a few. We have had our boat for a year now, about 100 hours of experience, all of that being in the Columbia River. We are going to be able to get away in early May, and hoping to do 10 days out in either the San Juans...

Kevin, could you share a photo or further details?
