I should have looked more carefully at the picture. It's like an upside down p-trap!

I have a question about the looping/p-traps used on fuel vents. Having the loop above the vent seems fine since water entering the vent would tend to drain out. But a P-trap type device, or a loop hanging below the vent level would cause water to be trapped in the line. I was under the...

I forgot, I had a thread on this project: http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=18503

Those are PolyPlanar MA7500. They come with a metal bracket that allows for tilt adjustment. The part of the roof I attached them to has a small amount of core, enough that I could drill about 1/2" deep pilot holes for the screws I used (I think they were stainless #8 1/2" pan heads). Different...

Here's what I did, but I'm not sure if your speakers are box or if they need to be mounted in a box. These are out of the way enough that when sitting behind the wheel, they don't block visibility at all. I thought about the back corners of the cabin, but they were too easy to hit our heads...

If you want to have the same amount of ventilation as leaving a window cracked, maybe just leave the galley cabinets open. There's a fairly large pass through between the cockpit gunnel shelf and the galley cabinet for the steering/electrical cables. I was actually considering blocking this hole...

The lockset in our 2006 22 is made by Trioving of Norway. The keys we had copied did not work (would lock but not unlock), but when we took the original to a real locksmith, they worked great. Try to take the lockset out and bring it to a locksmith.

Our truck has 2H-4H-N-4L settings (not push button), and it doesn't have the manual locking hubs, so I don't see how to get 4L ratios without being in 4WD. I have some nice low gears (PRND321), but unfortunately no reverse low. I do like the idea of having a second hitch on the front, but on...

I was thinking about this too, and with all that sharp turning I may have to do, 4 low might not work, or may damage the truck. Turning on dry pavement in 4 low isn't good...

I was thinking that too. Backing up to the driveway means that when the boat is at a 45 degree angle to the driveway, it's going to be tilting less than 14 degrees. If I backed down the hill, the part where the driveway slopes from the sidewalk height to the street height will contribute to even...

Sorry for the delay -- these days it's dark when I leave for work and dark when I get home. But with the magic of Google and their roving fleet of camera cars, I can show my situation with street view pictures. (PS Tom: Thanks for the offer! Hopefully these pics will be helpful enough that...

So the bottoming out probably won't be the major problem. We've had a flat bed about the same length as the boat trailer (a lot lower CG, so no tipping worry). The driveway is almost completely level to the street, it just kind of twists like a helix to meet the street slope. It is definitely a...

We live on a street that has a 12 degree slope (measured with a smartphone app). Our driveway is perpendicular to the street and is flat in both directions, but at the point where the driveway meets the sidewalk, it's up to 14 degrees. I've always thought it would be a bad idea to try to park...

Ok, I emailed them and I'm waiting for a reply. Do you remember about how much it was? I'm ok with outdoor storage too as long as there aren't a lot of big old rickety trees around and not a lot of theft. Thanks!

We're looking into putting our boat on the trailer for the winter, but we don't have a place to put it yet. We have a long enough driveway for our boat but the road leading up to it is steep enough that we're concerned the whole boat/trailer would tip on the turn into the flat driveway. We can...
