It is possible that the tank is 20 or even 22 gallons, with enough residual, that you can only get 18 gallons use out of it. Did it take 18 gallons to fill it back up? You say your garmin fuel flow meter is "very accurate"--it may be at mid to high speeds, but it is very difficult to measure...

The video on fire is certainly though provoking, and we all have some of the devices which have the more "dangerous" type of Li ion battery in our phones, camera batteries etc. Also good advice to consult with more knowledgeable people on design and protection of the Li battery systems. The...

Thank you for sharing. Nicely done; Despite AI, the video shows a lot of work and co-ordination. We had done viedo initially in a Trans Pacific (LA to Hawaii), But we moved to video recorder by the time we had stated our 4 year voyage to Europe and back. That went out the window after...

Tom, How are you going to use the EP carry in docking? Thank you for bringing the Marine How to it article to our attention. The site owner Rod “RC” Collins had a catastrophic stroke in 2021, and is completely paralized on the left side. It is good to see him post newer articles, although it...

My Torqeedo was about 2007 era, in comparison to a gasoline 2 to 3 hp motor, it was very quiet. But it was not silent, but quiet enough to sneak up on wildlife better than the outboards. One problem of some of the small outboards, is they don't have a neutral..so you cannot just let the motor...

Dave great analysis. Thanks. But if you wait until next year ....no one knows. My philosophy is make a decision and live with it.

DaveinRi posted: Ray Electric were not the brand which were on the Hontoon ferry for about 5 years (that I am aware of). The Ray Electric may have been before I first went to Hontoon, or more recently. My understanding was that the electric motors at Hontoon were discontinued because of...

David I believe I stil have it. I'll check later today. It is not light--I will weigh it before sending. Now I have to figure out how to pack it! I'll be happy for someone to have a use for it. Our backs are similar to your's. We made it for that same reason and use. Bob

The RIB's rarely travel at top speed--they will be closer to somewhere in the 20 to 30 mph in good conditions. In the waters between Mainand BC and The Queen Charlotte Islands, the chop is wicked due to fetch and shallow waters. Of course that depends on the winds in PLI. The more difficult...

Good luck on finding the Candian Coast Guard nearby. We have visited with a number of Canadian Coast Guard crew members and they are compitent and skilled, plus friendly enough to share a beer when off duty. However you may not find one of their facilities nearby. There were two cutters and...

What is the price?

Be sure and keep a log we can see--such as Nebo or Find Penguins to follow your progress.

Colby, My experience is very dated by now, but we explored several of systems on the mainland of BC going in thru passes which only had one opening for our Cal 46 and a trawler we were sailing with, each day. These fjords are extensive and fun to explore--don't expect to see any other boats up...

Anchored out--only potential issue is running the "60 watt fridge" What refrigerator is this. My general impression with C Dory refrigeration, is count on at least 2.5 amps per hour--5 amps running and running about 50% of the time. I have hundreds of hours of use to back those numbers going...

I have never been an advocate of the "Suitcase" battery/charger/inverter all in one units. Generally you can get a better unit for less money. But I do see the feature of being able to take this from the boat to the RV to the car for different intended uses. What I don't see in your diagram...

I used the 80 amp battery charger on the Victron Multiplus 12 2000/80/50 as the shore battery charger. I prefered to use a user setable DC to DC charger: Sterling: max 30 amp DC to DC charger. The newer "Saturn" from Sterling comes with 6 preset profiles and one user setable profile. On...

Nice looking boat; Well equipped.

Check for occusion of the vents. Is one side better than the other? Some have a slight kink and than can be straightened. The 22's generally are not too bad for that isse, I have found the older 25's a bit particular, with only one filler, those with two and you take the cap off the second...

You need to list the selling price.
