When it happens to me, I just crank it on the rest of the way. The bow eye will take it.

Whenever I fish there, for the last 15 years, they tell me I am either a week too early or a week too late. Supposedly, they should be running, or have already made their run. Good luck. We always catch fish, but 2 weeks ago it had too much fog to get offshore for the big ones and halibut,l so...

The adjacent lot is often full, but there is a large lot about 1/2 block that has good parking.

Clutesi is a decent launch. Parking across street in lot has worked for us with no losses for about 12 years now. We motor down to Bamfield and stay there. It is a nice protected run, but can be a bit choppy at times -- also fog can be a problem. Three of our boats will be there during the...

The kelp could have sent debris through the intake, slightly plugging the discharge pee hole, while also starving new water from entering the engine. That is why I installed the pressure gage to alert a person prior to an alarm...however, usually you only see the pressure change after you hear...

Make sure that the tongue actuator is sliding freely. I would out some gear lube on the sliding surfaces. When you are braking lightly, the tongue may be hanging up some. When you got the boat, the brake lines had been thoroughly bled, and it had new actuator on the tongue, and the slave...

Glad to see the ol boat is serving you well. Kind of miss having it. I guess once you have a c-dory bug, you can never shake it. Ron

I wear sneakers. With them the smell can't escape :wink

If 1 of the fuel pumps is driven by the camshaft, a ruptured diaphragm can leak fuel into the crankcase via the valve train area. That could explain the gas in the oil.

I would get the smallest 2 cylinder motor that has f-n-r. You cannot beat the smoothness of a 2 cylinder.

The only thing I can suggest is that sometimes if you are pulling hard and able to release it instantaneously, it may "swim" a bit to a different position. Sometimes then the bite it had has moved to make retrieval possible. Also pulling on it from different directions sometimes moves it some...

On the tank that is not registering, put a jumper wire between the sending unit and the ground, and flip the toggle. If the sender is the problem, the gage will now read full. You can also jumper it with a screwdriver if someone toggles the switch for you. If there is still no reading, it is...

I guess I will stick my neck out first. I always have used the true settings for gps and for map reading or planning of routes. It has been easier for me to use the parallel rulers,etc using the true north lat/long lines. I have noted compass reading when I am going offshore so in case of...

I really want to see the progress on Prairieboy also. Been waiting to see the new hull extension.

Cetol is a great, long-lasting finish for the exterior teak. I used it on the rail of 2 c-dories, and it lasted well. Took 3 coats to give it the longevity. Duckdogtitus now has my last boat, and that is what I used for the finish. I wish the teak had been in better shape before I used the...
