    Fresh water tank leaking

    I have a 2011 25 cruiser with the water tank under the center of the splash well, it seems to have developed a leak, not a big one, maybe a pint a day or so.

    Anchor Rehash -- New Anchor – Vulcan

    I am very happy with the Vulcan 9 (20lb) fits nicely on the roller and sets fast. Great anchor. The only thing i need to be cautious about is to slow down with the windlass remote as the anchor comes close to the roller or it might swing widely as it lines itself up.

    bearing or axle failure

    I just removed my 1.25X1.175 spindle from my torsion axle arm, I backed up the castle nut flush with the end of the thread and hit it square with a 3lb short sledge, came out easy after a half dozen blows.

    Yes,Tom that would be great if you did pick an xtra one, i was joking when saying i was fresh out, I never owned one and would not know what they look like, I'm not much of a fisherman especially on lakes, I do have a pole and a Michigan permit though. Colby, road closure updates are appreciated.

    I finally found the National Parks Senior passes we got last year at Lake Powell! that's a relief. Lots to do before departure day and you have both been very helpful. I am not sure yet which way I will be coming up but Tucson to New Mexico and then cut across from Tucumcari to Kansas City...

    Lake Superior Beckons, Again

    Thank you Tom & Colby. I appreciate all the info. I assume fuel will be available in Grand Portage? Colby, you mention "no gray discharge' while in the Park waters, this means no use of the galley sink whatsoever?! sounds pretty drastic. Looking at the Grand Portage website I see there is a...
