    Small Gel Coat Repair

    Years ago I picked up a tube of "SeaFit Gelcoat Quick Fix" in Buff-White at West Marine and it was a perfect match for Adeline's 1989 Gelcoat in "Colonial Ivory". Easy and quick solution for a minor ding. I just checked and it looks like it is now called SEAFIT RESIN Gel Coat Scratch Patch...

    Couldn't find prior wisdom on fender count and size

    Adeline started out with "sausage" fenders and then I went to the round style size A-2. I finally upgraded to the largest round fenders that West Marine carried, way back when. Norfloat A-3. These big globules just BARELY fit through the sliding window. One hangs from the forward cleat and...

    Better Cable Ties

    I remember when I had to bleed my VRO2 System (on the water) and broke the ratchet-clamp, or "Snapper Clamp". I then used a zip-tie because that's all I had. Next time I saw my OMC (Johnson) Tech he spotted it immediately and gave me the whole nine yards on why the zip was a bad idea. He...

    Whats the aggregate wisdom on tenders

    You'll need to decide ...PVC-vs-Hypalon. Here's a nice 7'6" PVC Boat that I admire(click on the pic)... How about an 8'6" If you decide on Hypalon Achilles makes nice boats. The Alaska Series is Super-Premium, but spendy.

    Cell phone signal boosters

    I get spotty reception at home so I complained to Sprint and they gave me an Airave(femtocell). Now I′ve got full bars, clear calls, and fast data. Basically, it′s a repeater that connects to a router or cable-modem and sends/receives cellular signals throughout a home(up to 5000 sq. feet). If...

    Wallas issue - carbon monoxide

    This occasionally happens on Adeline. When clean my stove starts up silently and then a faint roar is heard as combustion starts. Over time the Wallas "cokes up" and the startup behavior changes. Click, click, click, click, and then, WHUMPF. Whenever my stove goes "WHUMPF" my...

    Raymarine frustration

    Hopefully Matt Gurnsey will see your plight and chime in. I believe he authored a marine electronics forum. As I recall, I selected my standard Horizon CP1000C largely based upon his input. He is knowledgeable, and, best of all, he's at Kitsap Marina in Port Orchard... I THINK . :roll:

    Replacing Morse Command 2 Steering

    Hi Karl‚ I‛m still running the Morse Command II on Adeline. Cable is part# 300622-228 (19 foot). When I looked into this upgrade a while back a brand called Uflex caught my eye. I'm away from my computer now (posting on handheld ppc) or I'd post links. However‚ this might be helpful...

    Sitka deer rescued by boat in AK

    My dad was a private pilot and when I was a kid we often flew up to British Columbia for trout fishing. One year we were trolling along on Tsacha Lake when we saw something bobbing in the water. It was a deer swimming across the lake, maybe a mile distance to cross. I remember dad saying that...

    Wallas Heaters

    There's alot of truth in this statement. I never turn my Wallas below 1/2. I normally leave it on full and adjust the temp by opening windows/door.

    Another Webasto furnace install

    This is the first I've ever heard of the Airhugger so I did a quick Google Search and results 1 and 2 were in Anchorage and Vancouver, my hometown (could be a Google Location Thing :disgust ). @ $750-$800 Thanks Brent Anyway, here's a couple of screen captures for those interested. This is...

    Wallas Heater Total Confusion

    With my older stove ('93 kerosene), on startup the fan whirrs and the fuel pump clicks for maybe thirty seconds and then, when it finally achieves ignition, there is sometimes a noticeable "whumpf" that emanates from the combustion chamber. Shortly thereafter, a slight odor may be apparent for...

    Another Webasto furnace install

    These are exciting projects. IMO, nothing adds more to these little cabin boats then dry, DEPENDABLE heat. Electronics, downriggers, you name it, if you're damp and shivering all those goodies don't seem very important. In all my Adeline years(since the Wallas) I've NEVER had to wear any...
