That 5th wire you mentioned is for the backing up. When you shift into reverse it should engage the solenoid which disengages the brakes and allows you to back up without the brakes locking up. I'm not near my trailer right now so can't tell you exactly how it is wired. I do remember having...

I've read on several of your posts that you like too fish a lot. I do too and that is why i took off the back bimini cover over the cockpit as it interfers with my fishing. We do carry a Tommy Bahama unbrella with us for shade. It is handy and can be moved to the best shade advantage.

Just my opinion, nothing more; twins (not my preference due to added maintenance expense) -2 tanks with a valved pipe connection (not familiar with how 22's are set up but may require modification to accomplish) -wallace stove delete - alcohol camp stove (I like my wallace...

A question for Dr Bob. On your main anchor line, I see you have a bridle set up, which to my understanding takes the load off the the main rode to the windlass. 1. Is it still necessary to tie the main anchor rode to the cleat behind the windlass since the bridle is carrying the load? 2...

I can not speak about Maxwell windlasses as I have never owned one. But doing a quick search on the internet I find them to be quite expensive. Another thing that caught my eye is that the first thing that pops up is a web page devoted to troubleshooting problems with Maxwell windlasses...

I have owned both the Lewmar Profish 700 and the manual 700. The advantage of the Profish is that you can drop the anchor quickly and hit the area you want to fish quickly. Where as the standard Lewman is let down and is considerably slower and you probably won't hit the spot you're aiming for...

Yes Bob I saw those photos also and that's why I got to thinking a little about a project. I think this boat may be worth the effort to restore. But I think I'll leave it for a younger man/woman as I've got a great boat already. But when I start thinking of downsizing the 22 Angler may be the...

I love the 22 anglers, I look at this boat and I can't help but think of how I could turn this boat into a sweet ride. I know it won't go for anywhere near the present bid of $3,200 but if it were to go cheap it would make a great project for some energetic person. My heart says "Let's have a...

SoBelle, On my last boat, a 25' Atlas Acadia, I used a stainless steel snap hook the was fixed to plastic encased SS cable which was run thru the forward cleat and crimped in place. The bitter ends were encased in shrink wrap tube so as to not cause any chaffing or bow lines being wrapped...

Clay, I have considered just putting a squeeze bulb in line, but the tank holds near a gallon of fuel so that's a lot of pumping from the bulb. I figured if it doesn't work I'll just carry a gallon with me to refill with. The vented cap brings up another question. If the replacement cap...

Thanks John and Bob. I believe if I tap into the the fuel line near the racor filter that I may be able to keep the rise near 12". If I find a 90 degree hose barb to cap adapter it would help to minimize the rise also. I'm considering a quick disconnect rather than a valve to reduce fittings...

Donald, if you are buying a new dingy then the foot pump is made for the dingy and should be quite adequate. If you have some sort of physical limitations then maybe the electric pump may help. I have a 9' boat that i pump with the foot pump. It takes a few minutes to do but I've usually go...

John, or anyone with experience with the hose cap for the Honda generators. How would i get the fuel from the tank under the floor to the generator? It would seem to me that it would require a fuel pump to push the fuel up to the cap. I have the eu2000i generator on a platform similar to the...

Waypoint, Is that 30amp socket putting lout 30 amps with the 2200 companion or is there another eu2200I in line? Also, do the engines tilt all the way out of the water with this arrangement? Nice work, looks professional.

Colby there are lots of choices, here are a few that you can pick and choose from. Start at Port Orchard marina, with foot ferry to Bremerton, then to Paulsbo, Kingston, Edmonds, Bell Harbor on Seattle waterfront, then Blake island, Gig Harbor, Anderson Is or Johnsons point or Boston Harbor...

SSBOL, you're correct. It is my understanding that if the belt breaks while running that the cam shaft stops turning but the crankshaft will continue to turn. As a result timing is thrown off and as a result valves and push rods get bent by the piston pushing up into the valve and any number...

Looking on Utube for the answer as to whether the BF90 has a belt or chain. The best i could find is that the change over between belt to chain was somewhere around 2006 when they reconfigured the entire engine. One video I saw was for a 2005 BF 90 timing belt change out. so they still had a...

If this were my project I would be more inclined to cut out a rectangular area to 1, be able to assess the entire problem as to weather you have rot and how extensive it is and 2, it will give you good access to dry it out and replace any balsa if required. I'm not a fan of drilling holes and...

JamesTXSD Another option is that the Swinomish Casino and Lodge now has a new Rv Park at the top of the Swinomish Channel on Padilla Bay. Look nice from what you can see driving by. There is also a boat launch on the other side of the Bridge crossing Swinomish Channel. It's located under the...
