    Ideas on where to mount autopilot pump

    I'm not sure how the 23 is set up, but on my 22, I mounted the pump on the helm bulkhead in the back of the V-Berth starboard storage compartment. On the 25 I put it under the sink, at the bottom of the Head bulkhead. You can find and look at nested albums on autopilot install on both...

    03/04 - 03/06 - Hontoon Island, Florida 2025

    Thanks Mark, That's great to know. Earlier I had planned on taking on water at the park, as it was too damn cold when we left Wisconsin, or during the tow to Gulf Shores to have water on the boat. Fortunately, I was just able to fill the water tank at the person's I'm keeping the boat at, on...

    Dreamboat

    Donald, glad you got into Silver Glen already. You'll find by tomorrow afternoon, and definitely on Saturday, the place will be packed. Get yourself a good spot before everyone shows up. Have you seen any Manatees yet? They will sometimes frequent Silver Glen before the crowds arrive. Glad...

    Want to Buy a Tomcat Location isn't a concern

    There may be one for sale at the Hontoon gathering next week. Although it is one of the earlier model ones. But would be in great shape.

    Wanted: 25 Cruiser

    IOW, it "needs some work". :wink: actually, it may need a lot of work. I know it's the wrong size, and newer, but depending on how much work you want to do and if you are willing to go to a 22, it's probably in the price range...Just passing it along...

    Boaters Guide - App for exploring the Salish Sea

    While the Boaters Guide app linked to distances, it provided a lot more, such as marinas and fuel info. :?

    Boaters Guide - App for exploring the Salish Sea

    It appears the Boaters Guide app is no longer active. At least that’s the message I got when I just tried to open it.

    Diesel heater exhaust

    At least on Webasto's, it calls for the exhaust to be below the heater. I think this is to keep water out of the burner box.

    Who do you belong to?

    No. The only boats I know that can roll back over are some USCG surf boats. I'm sure there are others, but probably not in the trawler or class of boats you mentioned above.

    2025 Bay and Delta extravaganza: Sign Up

    I too wish I could make it, but Friday Harbor was on the calendar for this year. Wish I could be in two places at once. :) Perhaps it'll work out next year. This is definitely one of the fun cruises! And the Duck Club is a great experience! Colby

    Before I forget, an important notice. :mrgreen: I will be bringing my famous coloring book along. It was here at Hontoon at one of my initial gathering attendances that I won this book in the silent auction. Please, I'd be honored if everyone did some coloring in it. Look through it to...

    Cold Temperature Storage of Inflatable Dinghys

    Thanks, makes me feel better. I've traveled with them before below freezing, but only by a couple of degrees colder. Heading south earlier this year, and we're in the middle of another cold snap... Colby

    Cold Temperature Storage of Inflatable Dinghys

    Getting ready to head down south, and will be taking our inflatable kayaks with us. One a Hobie, the other a Sea Eagle. I store them inside all winter, (and then summer too when not in use.) They are stored rolled up, rather tightly. Looks like I will have two days travel with temps below...
