Greg, If you are looking for a picture of the galley as it comes from the factory, this is a picture on the factory site. I would post it here for you but apparently I don't have the talent for that. Bill

Dan, Re:shrimp. Thanks for the heads up, maybe I'll give er a try. bill

Pat, Thanks for the info and that makes sense, the cost of pots I'd sure hate to lose any. Bill

I'd bet that if you were the one who caught the biggest, best or most, YOU get to decide what to call it. Bill

Rod, The map program I have puts the trip from Whittier to the east end of Mc Pherson Bay at about 52 miles, (45 nm). Hope this helps in your calculations. Space is tight for me too but I could probably carry an xtra 5 gallons for you if you like? Speaking of space, has anyone shrimped with...

PS. The grin never goes away. Welcome to the pub. Bill

2375 from Portland. If you start now.... Is there a Starbucks in Alaska?

If someone knows of a good place to meet up at the island, we probably ought to specify, otherwise a bunch of people could be running around Naked trying to hook up with the others and that might not sound quite right to our southern bretheren, (them being concerned about us prepositioning at...

I'm in for Saturday for sure and I'll see about Sunday.

If you're talkin Naked Is. I could make it out on Saturday. I'd have to be home Saturday night, but it sounds like this gathering is shaping up and I'd like to make it. Don't change it on my account but anywhere you decide to go that I can make in a day, count me in. Bill

Dan, the trip sounds great but I'm working that weekend. Best I could do is leave Anchorage on the 4th and you'll be comin home by then. Maybe next time. It's about time we did an Alaska gathering, good idea. Greg you're nuts. Put the Fox back and curl up by the fire with your sweetie. The...

Ditto what the others said. I have a 9.9 Yamaha and it's brought me home several times now at about 6 knots. It might do more but I haven't tried.

Like Willbe asea, I'm in Alaska too although I usually ply Prince William Sound or Resurection Bay rather than Cook Inlet. I've had similar anchor experiences as he and use similar slopes. Even though as yet I have not needed it, I carry a "sentinel" anchor that I intend to use in the event I...

Guys, I just changed over to a 90hp Yamaha from a 70 Johnson but I don't think the motor change had anything to do with the reduction in cavitation I used to get. I didn't have near the problems that Chica describes but following seas and "topping" out on some of the more pitched seas got the...

Wow, You guys are all lights years ahead of me in electronics and I thought I had it made! I live in Alaska and I have an Apelco radar, Garmin 240 depth sounder and a Garmin 182 Chart plotter with a local blue chip. None are linked. The radar, though a little difficult to interpret at first...

Jack, I've had the same problem and haven't actually done anything to correct it yet but I'm considering a box in the dingy. I'd have to pull in down off of the top and probably build some kind of box for it but I haven't had any other ideas. Any thoughts? Bill

Sea Wolf Joe, I'm going to steal your idea on the teak for sure,(beautiful installation, very dressy) but will credit you whenever asked. Thanks for the heads up on the exhaust length!!! I didn't see anything in the installation directions to that affect. I've not had any problems that I...

Sea Wolf, The total length of the heater exhaust is only about 16" and extends thru the top only about 1". The exhaust cap that comes with the Force 10 is about 3" and is hardly noticeable. Someone else on the site installed theirs with what looks like about 1" of teak under the exhaust cap and...

Rock-c, I removed my Wallace and replaced it with a propane cook top and propane Force 10 and I'm very happy. The stove heat is instantaneous and odor free and the heater is plenty for even the Alaskan waters I ply. The down sides are that a by product of propane combustion is water vapor and...
