Au Kai, your encounter on Lake Sammamish was understandably upsetting. The facts will, I expect interest you. Each year the salmon return to Issaquah creek is estimated accurately based upon the species numbers counted at the Chiteinden locks ladder. The Issaquah creek fish are all but...

Our sport fishing opportunities have been harmed to a much greater degree by the lack of applied science based regulation. We are the small player in the allocation debate and without regulation the remaining fish runs would just be eliminated by overfishing. Further, with all of the...

Triple J, the above design would save the third or second sleeping area as well. On our two week trip I slept in the dinette every night and we left our gear on one side of the cuddy. I tend to want to see where we are (not drifting and such) and get up first anyway. This mod would let us...

Warren, the sliding base to the forward seat on my 22 has a teak rail attached along its length on the table side. My table hinges in the center and has a slide underneath which slips into a spaced gap in the teak rail. Borrowing on this idea, a teak railing of the same design could be added to...

If you find a good way to solve the problem of removing the the seat back for the aft facing forward seat, I would be interested in what you come up with. I like this project right up to the point where Kathleen and I sit down to eat or play a game of cards.

Another app that is fun when you are out on a trip is FriendMapper. This app lets friends track your location. As for the coverage debate verizon v/s AT&T: Verizon does not cover our Olympia residence and offers spotty coverage in the waters of the south sound. At&T does much better down...

An interior logo has little value to me. The brand is well identified and we love our 07 though we never had logo's on the seats. As for the seats, it would be a great idea to design or locate a strong higher backed seat that can be moved back and has at least one armrest and then to offer it...

Those photos of Gypsy are interesting. Gypsy was/is a 25, am I right? Also, the seats are entirely different. On my 22 a 2007/8, the seat is a sliding reversible seat and the bulkhead serves as the backrest when the seat is set up as a dinette. I could go for the more open feel if only the...

Well, I sure do not have an answer about the cause. What I do know is doing nothing will cause the rapid decline of the prop. In salt water and with the metals being used in props, paint is critical. I ran my prop on the Honda 90 for less than a season with some non gouging paint penetrations...

With the solid advice given here, I have replaced disk brake pads all around on my dual axle King trailer. The caliper model # can be found on the back of the caliper. Parts: My model is Tiedown brand 46 304 and the match for pads is the same as for a 1990 chevy cavaleer. The replacements come...

Well, I do adjust claims for a living and have done so for going on 30 years. I am not going to defend the actions and decisions USAA made in the claim detailed above. If you had both the home and boat insured with USAA then it sounds like at least one error was made. They are not what I would...

OK so your slip has a bow line why not issue it a fender?? Then you will be set and will have one less thing to do on the way in and out 8)

Well, I pulled one off and they are Tiedown brand mod 46304 which has one cylinder on the inside. Pad ware was uneven on both pads and the rear pad overhang the rotor creating a 1/4" lip on the pad, the inner edge of which was rounded and looks to have held the pad away from the disk.

Well, most of you drilled holes and though I have drilled some, I chose to work with available mounting points. We deploy three fenders when docking. Two go at the cleats and these are one size larger than the midships fender. The rear fender line must be secured starting with a pass under the...

Trailer is an 06-07 at the oldest. I have never had an issue backing up and will reattach the white wire.

Well, I thank you both for this information. I do not think I have tiedown breaks as they are different than the photo provided in the pdf provided, They do have two bleeder ports up on top but do not mount the same way and I do not see the hex heads shown in the photo. Each has one cylinder on...

After getting home from our trip up north an easy drive R/T between Campbell River BC and Olympia, WA I inspected the break pads and found that they are almost gone on the outside and nearly new on the inside at each wheel. Does anyone know what would cause this and how to fix it? Also, at a...

Warren, I am happy with my wallis stove as well, but it was steady 80's on our two weeks away and we did not fire up the cabin stove once. In colder times, you bet we will enjoy the heat we get as we cook.

To respond to a few questions. I would be glad to post a photo of the setup but never learned to do that. If one would walk me through, I will post photos later today. Regarding the heavy gas and where it goes. The lazarette has a through hull plumbed to a drain at its lowest point. Mounting the...

Based upon our recent trip to Desolation Sound we have the following recommendations for those intending to launch and park at Campbell River. We checked out the Salmon Point Resort and found it to offer camping on land and cabins and to be in a nice setting. But the marina has no power, the...
