    WLTB Downrigger weight mould

    Any Brats have a 12 pound downrigger weight mould they no longer use? I have a lot of surplus lead shot I need to put to use. I would like to buy one for cash and the cost of shipping. Thanks Wapiti!

    Kuyuquot Sound and the Broughtons via inReach

    I have looked at the InReach system to pair with my IPad. Looks like it could be a good system where WiFi and cell coverage is limited or nonexistent. As my usage would only be a month at a time, I found their subscription rates and reconnect fees to be pricey. Will be most interested in the...

    Looking for a recommendation for a source for LED bulbs to replace the navigation bulbs in my C-Dory. I believe I need festoon type LED replacements. Thanks Wapiti

    Frozen steering rod

    I also decided that removing the entire steering cable to replace the nut with one with a zerk may create more problems on a 17 yr. old cable. I will wait till I have to install a complete new steering system and be sure it as some sort of lubrication system. In the mean time I have programmed...

    Frozen steering rod

    Uncle Richie your post reminded me of another post I saw in a jet boat site. They took a round solid piece of aluminum and drilled out the centre the same diameter as the steering cable. They then drilled and tapped a hole for a grease nipple on one of the halves. After drilling an access hole...

    Frozen steering rod

    Unfortunately there are no grease nipples (zerks) into the steering rod mechanism. I had to take the outside large nut on the starboard side off. This provides access to the inside of the steering mechanism. Then using a small diameter soda straw slide into the inside of the steering mechanism...

    Frozen steering rod

    Just finished getting the Teleflex steering rod on my Honda 90 unstuck using the info found on this site that was provided by Dave Paxton and Tortuga. The steering rod was so bound that I had to use a combination of Blaster50 and a torch to heat the rod several times. A couple of hits on the end...

    Kicker steering

    You are absolutely right Jazzmanic when I bought my C Dory it had a easy steer on it. I had nothing but problems with it and a pain trying to reconnect it in the.water. I bought a steering rod and with the assistance of some kind Brats who posted some pics I fabricated and installed the...

    Has anyone looked at or had any experience with these units? They are shown in the Cabela's spring catalogue and I have seen some pretty good prices for these units. Any opinions?

    Knee replacement and swim ladder

    I have two new knees, one a year ago and one 6 months ago. Have not had a chance to test them on a swim ladder, but I go up and down a standard 12ft ladder and a step ladder with no problems at all. I don' t anticipate any major problems with a swim ladder unless I have to raise my leg a...

    a few coho pictures

    Nice fish Jake, glad to see someone had a good coho season. We fished the Douglas Channel (British Columbia) in early Sept and coho fishing was very slow this year, plus Fisheries closed the Halibut season when we were up there. Wapiti

    Eliminated the kicker portable gas tank.

    I installed a Moeller fuel filter/separator this spring with a line to my Honda 90 and a line to my Honda 8 hp . Both units worked well this summer. It sure is nice to see if there is any water or crud in my fuel. Wapiti

    Oh Sugarfoot

    I hate seeing my C-Dory bouncing even ever so slightly on the bow roller. Had to refinishing the edge of my bow where it meets the bow roller a couple of years ago when my winch strap broke and i didn't notice it immediately. I really like the idea of an extra tie-down. What is the consences on...

    Dutch123 You can definitely use your current iPhone 3G to receive a Gps signal, and thus run the Navionics and TomTom apps. without any costs other than the app. But whether you can then display in on your iPad I am not sure if this is possible. Maybe some iPad gurus can help with this portion...
