That is true, regarding the size of the air inlet. However, since that combustion air is being vented overboard out the exhaust, it does create a small suction, which will draw outside colder, (and moist in the case of fog and rain) air into the boat. The ventilation air is equalized with both...

Hi Bob. Not sure you understood me. I’m speaking only of combustion air intake. I currently have a combustion air intake hose just hanging under the webasto. My tentative plans would be to connect the open end of that hose to a through hull close to the heater. I’m just wondering if others have...

Resurrecting this thread, as I'm thinking about changing my current Webasto setup to draw outside air for the combustion chamber. My though process being that as it is now, with the combustion air just being drawn from under the sink where my Webasto is located, is also bringing that outside...

Thanks Bob. Interesting info about Antelope Marina. Swift is based in Phoenix, and many years ago I actually applied to drive semi truck for them. Much of the land in Northern Arizona is Navajo, Hopi, or several other tribe's land. Always been a lot of conflicts over land ownership over the years.

Hi Bob. Actually depends on which post Donald was referring to, lol. I actually covered both the invasive species and the electronics in the thread…. The valet launching at Antelope requires payment. Lake Powell between Utah and the feds already got enough money from me! State Line Aux...

Thanks Jody. Actually I put a post out on Wayneswords yesterday. I launched at Bay Bridge a couple of years ago, at least if that's the one at the marina there. I don't remember that ramp being shallow at all. At least not like Bull Frog. This was in early September. I'd love to join you...

Thanks Alain. That's good to hear! Colby

Hi Donald, SSobal answered it well. But to add a bit to it. If you travel west of the Rockies, you can expect to stop at each state for an AIS inspection of your boat. Most of these are pretty straight forward as long as your boat looks clean. And many states, even east of the Rockies...

Bringing this thread back up with a question. I've never launched at Stateline or Wahweap. Anyone know how the ramps there compare to Bullfrog? Bullfrog was a real PITA to get my 22 off it's trailer when launching, due to how shallow the ramp was. You had to back the tow vehicle in the water...

Speaking of anchoring and watching out for the other guy, something I passed along at Hontoon, and I'll mention here. When anchoring with other boats nearby, consider both wind and current, and then your DRAFT! Our boats don't draft much and will be more affected by wind than current. Other...

Good morning Donald. The swivel just helps to keep the chain from twisting as you bring the anchor up. Some use one, some don't. But a few have stated it does make a difference. But it is a weak point on your anchoring rode, so you want to make sure you have one you can trust. I had one for...

Thanks John. I did use the cotter pin to lock the bell housing in position, and just used the SS safety wire to secure the bolt holding the anchor clamp. Tom called me and said he just took his apart to do some work and it still looked good after the time he has had it. He felt my pin was...

Hi Jody, Yes, I used the oblong pin that came with it. Just seems like too much is left showing beneath the collar. Colby

Resurrecting this thread with a question. After a discussion at the Hontoon gathering, and seeing the Mantus chain swivel, I decided to change my Lewmar swivel out for this robust monster. I am a little concerned about the pin that holds the chain in the swivel however. Seems like it wouldn't...
