Ron, I also have a surplus light that you are welcome to. Look down in the hole and post up if it is a 2 prong or 3 prong, there are plenty of both out there. A regular one will work if it gets current, but if you end up with a LED one it will be polarity sensitive. If it does not work...

Never timed it. I would guess about a gallon per minute. A larger diameter hose and greater elevation differential will make any siphon rig flow better. I have so much stuff in the boat, truck and shop, I like it when an item can do 2 things. Also I use this...

Just use a standard marine fuel line to siphon. Place the tank above the desired 2nd tank. Snap a standard marine fuel fitting into the end of the fuel line, this pushes back the ball valve and opens the line for flow. Place the end with the brass fitting in the lower 2nd tank. Pump the bulb...

You guys are killing us, I can almost taste the smallmouth bass sizzling in the skillet. We have made it to Powell the last 3 years in a row, Just could not make it this year after our long Ohio River trip, we will see everyone next year. We still have many areas that we still want to...

Ray Macke has 2 of the most interesting blogs on the net about the 2 boats that he built from scratch and the adventures that he has had in them. Both boats are not unlike C-Dory's This is the blog for the smaller skiff: http://egyptian.net/~raymacke/ This is the blog for the larger boat...

For those that are interested, here is the website where I look up information on the towboats as we see them on the river, I assume ocean going tugs are listed, too. Click on the link to the Carl Wayne database at this website. www.tugboatenthusiastsociety.org

On my offshore fishing boat I have a Furuno 585 with the 1 KW bronze thru hull transducer set in a high speed faring block. Not a side scan, but a very effective unit, The transducer was about a grand.

We had a great time, Thanks Ron and Connie, Everyone appreciates your work.

Our 4 boat flotilla in Savanna, Ill is saddled up, in the water and ready to ride, north to Dubuque. We should depart around 10:30

My personal favorite event is the "open house" boat show, where all he boats are open for inspection. All the C-Brats love to show off the modifications that they have performed to make each boat different and special. So many great ideas, creative interiors, plumbing improvements, kayak...

It would be great to have the Admiral and the flagship join us. We are shooting for a 10 am departure time Wed morning from the Savanna marina.

We will be at the marina. Where the main highway gets into down town Savanna and makes a turn, there is a KFC,Taco Bell and a Subway. Broderick Drive wyes off of the main highway at that point, crosses the RR tracks and dead ends into the marina. So for we have 4 boats meeting in Savanna...

I think that Ken wants to leave Savanna by about 10AM wed morning. Hope that you can make it.

Ken and Pat Fry drove over to pick us up on the River near the Quad Cities and took us on a tour of the Rock Island Federal Armory museum today. Quite a sight with nearly every military weapon and artillery piece ever used on display. Can't beat the cost, free. The museum and river steamer...

Hope to make it.

Our first photo is posted in the Mississippi River Album. Three rivers stadium in Pittsburgh, PA We have traveled 1400 land miles and are now on the water, enroute and will have traveled 1600 river miles to make the "Mississippi River Gathering". It is worth the trip. If your are within a...

We have Verizon and it works well at Lake Powell...... as long as you have Navajo Mt in sight. We could not get service anywhere in Oak Canyon where the gathering usually is, But out on the main channel across from Oak Canyon we had service.

I restored a 1989, the latch was trashed, a new one was just over $120 from Perko. You can remove the door and or latch and take it to a locksmith for repair, but it will not take long to excede the cost of a new one. Try a liberal dose of WD 40 first. I removed the countertop and had it...

You have it right Sunbeam. In the smaller motors, 15" is short 20" is long and 25" is extra long In the larger motors, 20" is short, 25" is long and 30" is extra long. So to get them the same to hang on the transom, you need a short main (20") and a long kicker (20"). Because when using...
