    Honda 50 hp trim/tilt not working

    Ok, I see posts from others more expert than me...BUT... my Honda 90 has a fuse between the tilt switch and pump. It corroded and prevented opperation. On the 90 at least, this was a 10 second fix.

    Saddle Gas Tanks

    Those look nice and also expensive and being pipe shaped are a less efficient use of limited space. The tanks my old boat had were made of the same plastic used for the main tanks on my Cdory. They could be mounted in or below the storage shelves on both sides of the cockpit of a 22.

    Saddle Gas Tanks

    I had a 17 foot Arima with saddle tanks that were 10 gallons or so each. These were a shelf item ie did not need to be fabricated. Ad a filler point , a vent and fuel line and you are done. Tanks were about 5" x 6" to 8" X about 3' long.

    Bilge pump and wiring

    I agree, this is a good time to install a back up bilge pump after you fix the connections on the primary pump. Redundancy in this area is a great thing. On a 22' a quick install which avoids another through hull is to plumb the outflow up through the base of the motor well and to install a...

    towing a dinghy

    Well, I have a Walker Bay 10' with added floatation and the sailing kit. So, the intention is to tow it when we are gunk holing around. If we take a longer trip and plan to spend some time in protected waters then we may put it up on the roof at some point. Will be sure to take a photo when we do.

    towing a dinghy

    Thanks for the responses. The idea of a high tie point is an interesting one. If the center point ring were to drop forward of the outboard when slack, only the single floating line would run past the prop out to the tow. As I stop, this would also make it easy to pay in the tow line without...

    towing a dinghy

    Some time back I participated in a chat about towing a Walker Bay behind a 22' C-dory. Now, I understand all of the limitations and own an inflatable with a 2hp Honda which went to Desolation Sound with us. Thing is, we live on the protected waters of the South Puget Sound and when a friend...

    Towing advice on a 2008 Toyota Tacoma

    We have towed our 22 all over the state with a Tacoma extra cab 4WD with tow package with no issue what so ever. Our 22 rides on a tandem trailer with disk brakes all around. A few above expressed concern about stopping. I would share this concern but for the four disk brakes we have working...

    Since you asked- 9.9 versus 15 kicker

    All of that physics was nice and helpful and all but the real issue comes down to digits. 90 and 9.9 just go well together. 90 and 15, not so much.

    Trim tab indicator

    Tom, I found some time to look into exactly what is going on and to respond in hopes you can help me get my display up and running. First, you posted three kinds of display. I have the newer version of the sperate display (your 2nd photo) The tabs run all the way down and all the way up...

    Trim tab indicator

    I read this thread in hopes I would pick up a tip or two on how best to trouble shoot my Bennett tab indicators since they recently stopped working for the most part. The tabs still work, I checked all the wires behind the dash to be sure they were tight, but still only get bars on one side and...

    Boat Equipment for the Inside Passage

    Two recommendations not seen above. 1. for a kicker recommend a 9.9 Honda for the charging capacity and as it can be pull started, left to run 15 mins or so to give your crank battery enough charge to get the 90 going. Also have it plumbed with a quick release (Honda) and enough line to reach...

    Anybody Using Navimatics for iPad?

    I have roughly the same app for my I-phone and would not be as nimble without it. Don't know how many times we have looked out the window and decided to plan a short boat trip, pulled out the phone, checked the tides, planned our destinations and done so with total reliability. Once on the water...

    09/09 - 09/11 - Sequim Bay Gathering

    Had a great trip and it was great to see everyone again. On Sunday as we were headed out to the lighthouse, we noted a few local fishermen off the spit and joined in. Managed to catch a hatchery coho. Not a lunker but we will be eating salmon for dinner. Look forward to seeing all of you along...

    Progressive Insurance

    In fact most rocks coming from dump trucks or job site equipment fall off the frame and come bouncing out from between the tires. On large road projects the contractor has a person that responds to claims all week long and if the bock, DOT will read there contract to them.
