We load our freezer every summer with fish and shrimp, but there is so much more. That leafy seaweed that hangs from your anchor, dulce chips. 200°f for about 10 minutes, a favorite English pub treat; I bring it home every trip. Other seaweeds you can dry and crumble, make excellent...

I have Mercury 9.9 kicker that sets on the transom next to it 150hp big brother. The kicker tilts up and out of the water just fine. Kicker has power tilt and electric starart, makes it real nice. Everyone said I would need a kicker bracket, totally proved them wrong. Not to say this set...

Nice crimper! Great reviews. Had one simular but lost or stolen years ago, been using substandard ones last couple of years. Thanks, I'll add to wish.

Currant takes the path of least resistance. Think of your batteries as jugs of water. Lets say you have 3, one full, one almost empty and the other about half full. Now think of current as water flowing in a pipe, this pipe is attached to all three batteries. As the current flows the jugs...

Don't over think this whole thing, I have 3 batteries 2 same one outlier all nominal. Batteries are 5 + years old and check out fine. Generators are history, alternatobrs rule. Have never overcharged or cooked a battery on any boat.

I'm thinking maybe you're mini ACR is not rated for 2 batteries, it either failed or is malfunctioning. If you don't find any obvious bad connection, try bypassing the ACR. Looking at your album it appears you only have a single 2 way on off isolator switch. In bypassing the ACR you'll have...

Good Intel for sure, my 62nd birthday isn't until August so hopefully I'll be able to aquire the less expensive pass. Last year I picked up to my lifetime Alaska Fishing /hunting /trapping license, I think it was free or just a couple bucks.

Harvey, It's manual, also a heavy user of Rain-X. I find myself more an more using the window washing formula with Rain-X added. If it starts to fail in a squall I can just reach out and give the windows a little misting. The automotive vareant is also great. As for the center manual wiper...

I can swing my center wiper left or right 90 degrees separating it from the window. This allows me to push the window all the way open; the same was true on the 22.

Mosquitoes are no match for the Thermacell http://www.thermacell.com I even have one in my ditch bag. Hope you have a pleasant trip, I'll PM my contact info for if you make it to Anchorage.

The drogue is in my bag of tricks, there are just times when hanging on the pick is desirable especially in butt country. And time when the current is moving fast and a drogue has no effect.

Harvey, Typo, meant 200' of 3 strand spliced to 350' of 8 plait. The boat came with the 1/2" 3 strand, it's still in great shape after many years of countless anchorings. Problem is, the 1/2" 3 strand I have spliced to the Samson pro-set has never worked correctly in the windless. I need...

I have about 200 feet of Samson 3 strand pro-set 3 strand 1/2" line and would like to splice onto 350" of 8 plait. So doing a bit of resurch, the method I've found is to tape and unravel the 8 plait into 3 strands and tape and unravel the three strand into 4, than splice accordingly. Why do I...

Thanks for all the input, the knowledge and different prospectives are welcome. I would expect nothing less, truly respect and appreciate this groups comments and unbiased opinions.

Thinking of puchasing one of these to satisfy USCG Federal Requirements for DAY and NIGHT use in lieu of traditional flares. No more worries of expired flares. Will still keep the old flares, perhaps label them (for training only) when they expire. Like to keep a 3 pack in the ditch bag, good...
