Hydraulics leak over time, that's just the way they are. Some leaking more than others isn't surprising. If I were you I'd just use the hard lock and take the pressure off of both of them.

Honestly I disagree, it's fine if you're on a schedule. You just need to have your schedule take the speed into account!

Hi all, The Smart Alec has been sold, and will be on her way to Portland, OR tomorrow morning. Thanks for the interest! Alec

One last update, I just realized the bottom was painted with Micro CSC paint, not Micron 66 (66 can't be used in fresh water, CSC can).

Hi Harvey, No, no trailer (kept it in the water so had no need for one). Alec

Woops, knew I'd forget something as soon as I posted. This boat also has Bennet Trim Tabs and a Radar Arch.

Donated, happy to do it. There are few other sites I visit more or derive more value from.

Hi, It's that time of the year, does anybody have any tricks for removing the state registration stickers, to make room for the new ones? Or do you all just put the new ones over the old ones?

I've had excellent luck with iWork 08. While not free, it is reasonably priced and includes Word, Excel and PowerPoint clones that all work very well.

The crew of the Smart Alec had a fantastic time, and many kudos to whomever was responsible for the weather!

My guess would be around 1030-1100, depending on when we actually get underway. Alec

Ah, good to know. I usually use 68 as my working channel anyway, but I'll setup a monitor there too. Thanks! Alec

Hi All, There is a group of boats (currently 3) that is departing from outside the Edmonds breakwater at 1000 on Friday the 16th, planning to hit the 1430-ish slack tide through Deception Pass. As these trips are always more fun with more participants, anybody else heading north from or past...

As a follow-up to this thread, I just got my boat back from Bayside Outboards in Everett. They did a super job and charged what I was quoted to do the 20 hour service on both of my Honda 50HP outboards ($200 total). Will be using them again.

So one issue I've got is that I don't have the boat on a trailer. Does anybody have advice for what the best way to get warranty service is if it a bit of a chore to move the boat great distances?

Hi all, I went to check on my 07 22' Cruiser at Edmonds today and found water in the cabin. After some searching, I found the culprit; the thru-hull fitting for the air vent on the fresh water tank was only finger-tight. So when water ran down the port gunwale some of it was able to get in...

I just had my bottom painted a few weeks ago. I had left the boat in the water for a couple of weeks beforehand, so after the boat was hauled there was a nice little green line on the boat to deal with that. Note that the line went into the colored gelcoat towards the bow, so what they did was...

We're actually heading up from Edmonds on Friday, planning to leave in the morning and hit the 1430-ish slack tide in the afternoon. In all likelihood we'll be up early and will probably wait it out in Cornet Bay, so would love to rendezvous with any brats who are planning the same passage...

Hi Pat, It was Bayside Outboards in Everett. I have only spoken on the phone with them, and can't make any comment about the quality of service (because they haven't done it yet) but it seems like a reasonable price to me. Alec
