Dock at Hot Springs Cove.

Tribune Bay, Hornby Island

Placed 3 pics showing overhead hatch installation: http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_ ... _photo.php Made one trip so far with it and I love it! Really opens up the cabin with light and ventilation when the camperback is sealed and offers a great view when I stick my head out.

Bow eye installed to provide attachment point for bitter end of anchor line.

Cushion in place on berth extension. Very comfy! Width is approx 39" (single bed size) across extended section. Length about 7 feet.

Instrument console: Ritchie Explorer compass, Garmin 545s GPS sounder, tach/ hour, tilt meter, horn button, intermittent wiper button, various electrical switches, 12 volt outlet facing downward under switch panel.

Boat name is an altered spelling for the Heltsiuk word "Gayasixa" which roughly translated means "Thanks." I worked in Klemtu for 3 years.

I am thinking of installing an overhead hatch centered in the cabin roof of my 16 Cruiser to let in more light and enable me to stick my head through for piloting (I am 6'4", so I would be able to see easily). I was going to use an 19" Bowmar identical to the forward hatch. Does anyone have any...

Heh, heh. No, I just want my boat to have a properly balanced load so that it climbs easily onto plane and travels "lightly" on the water. Obviously that is very difficult to judge underway as the boat's attitude changes with motor trim and speed (due to climbing the bow wave). If my boat is...

I would like to trim my boat at the dock, distributing my load evenly. It's easy to sense and adjust side-to-side, but fore-and-aft seems to be more subtle. I realize that the trim underway will vary according to conditions...

As I prepared to install a fore-and-aft trim indicator on my boat, I was faced with a little bit of a dilemma. What is the correct trim for a 16 Cruiser? Is it a level cockpit sole? Should the side windows be level? Is the table in front of the helm meant to be level? Is it the waterline on the...

The US base maps are fine but they only cover NOAA charts. For the Great Lakes on the Canadian side, this can be a problem. For example, the east side of Georgian Bay is only covered by the US passage chart and does not provide sufficient detail to navigate the Small Boat Waterway. You need the...

The previous owner of my boat had a fully-enclosed camperback made. It has large windows to port, starboard and stern. The window plastic is wrapped around all the way, including between the windows where there is Sunbrella and behind the support poles. In other words it forms an interior liner...
