It would be very interesting to buy a Wichard and marineparts depot shackle and have them tested in a test lab. Too bad I no longer work where I could have done that. Anyone else have access to a tension test frame? Steve

I really hate it when the magic smoke escapes! That happened to my Wallas also. I was passing through Seattle and stopped at Scan Marine and let them take a look. They told me it should not have fried like it did (there is a fuse) - it was only a few years old. They replaced the board at no...

Hi Albie, I am still not sure what regulations you are talking about. I know I have anchored overnight in Clipper Cove several times and never paid or reserved with anyone. I not that familiar with the South Bay. Here is a link I found that lists places to anchor in SF Bay...

I don't know about this particular park but there are many places you can anchor overnight in SF Bay. Steve

Hi Ron, I believe I visited that area many years ago and I can not directly answer your questions. With a quick search I found this site that may answer most of your questions. http://www.sccgov.org/portal/site/scc Go to this site and search for Alivso marina (search box) and click on...

Sorry, That is sellout.woot.com. there is a link on woot.com. Steve

I know several Brats have and enjoy the Cobb grill. They are on sale at Woot.com for $85 shipped. I have one and it works great for cooking fresh fish. I don't know if this is the best price out there but I have purchased from woot.com several times with no problems. Steve

Hi Joel, That light looks like it was made for your boat! Great find. Steve

Hi Tim, Good video. Sorry I can not help with the noise. I have the same year Johnson 90. Do you have the tach with the digital display that shows engine hours and fuel information? I have had a problem with mine. I hope someone can identify the noise. Steve

Thanks for the responses. Sounds like the majority either run it dry or drain the carb. I have the Tohatsu 6hp and will start doing the same.

I have a friend always lets the kicker run dry on fuel at the end of an outing. I think the reason is that he believes that if the fuel is left in the carb it can cause problems if the motor is not used for some time. What do other think? If you are not going to use your kicker for a few weeks...

I have a 2004 Johnson Tach with small digital display that will display fuel flow, fuel used fuel remaining, and has the hour meter. In 2008 while on a long trip using the boat at several lakes when I got to lake Powell one day I scrolled to the hour meter and it had reset to zero and was now...

I used the 2 x 2 foam interlocking squares sold for kids play area or garage floors. I have it in both the cabin and the cockpit. Does not absorb water and really helps to protect the knees when kneeling to look in a cabinet. Also easy to cut for fit.

Hi Steve, Taking over my reservation should not too much trouble. Just tell them everything is the same except last name, boat name, boat size, and additional person name. Just tell them the Excel file got jumbled. I don't think there is any connection with C-Brat outings and me getting...

Hi Joel, I appreciate your enthusiasm as a First Responder and it always good to have someone in the group trained for such things. You probably could have saved me some money and a lot of paperwork to sign. Thanks for the laugh, Steve

After my last post I made a quick trip to the doctor because of belly pain. That turned into a quick trip to the hospital and now I am back home minus one appendix. Sure glad this did not happen in the middle of this outing, but sure hate to miss it. Not feeling too spunky right now but...

I have not heard of any significant high water problems in the delta at this time. Steve

Thanks for the reply's. My Droid X should be here Monday. Steve

I don't think they are all the same. I bought 5 new Goodyear Marathon radials. They were all well maintained and not damaged by debris. The first one I noticed a patch of tread separation while launching. Goodyear gave me a discount on a replacement. The second one was on a trip. I had...

One more week before this trip! I am hoping for good weather. The next 5 days show mostly 5 to 15 knot winds. That is light for what it can be this time of year. Is anyone arriving on Tuesday? My plan is to launch Tuesday just to check out the boat since I have not had it out for awhile. Steve
