Since most marinas have the Marinco receptacles, I plan on putting a smart plug on one end of a Marinco cord and leaving the Marinco plug on the other. Will the plug fit the cord? Our 22 has no shore power now so it's a clean install at the boat end. Charlie

Looks good John but you picked the thumbnail for the second one. Charlie

Does Safari or Chrome work from an iPad? Anyone tried it? Charlie

Colby, what kind of batteries and what charger? Lots of variables. How cold does it get and for how long?

Was it not smart enough, or what? I'm about to install shore power on my 22 and have a smart plug and receptacle., guess I'll use it.... Charlie

Seawolf Joe and yours truly are planning on making the trip! I'll be flying in on ThurSday night and staying until Sunday mid day, Joe is driving up from Redding. We will probably go up and visit Dusty either Friday or Saturday during the day. Charlie

Is there going to be a CBGT in conjunction with SBS 2015 this year? Trying to set aside some time to go if there is. Charlie

I think it's gotta be on the 'net, like in dropbox or something akin to that, not on your hard drive. Or in your album on cbrats with an http: ahead of it. There is also a special album that is open to anyone to post to that you can load with pix and post from. Charlie

Kind of on topic but what are the dates for the SBS in Jan 2015? Trying to make it this year. Charlie

Only if you never, ever want to take it off again. :roll: Charlie

Ordered new Names for the sides of Captain's Choice II from Boat U.S. Also had them do a graphic in keeping with my screen name "Captain's Cat" which came about when I had TomCat(s), the boat that is, still have two TomCat's of the furry variety...

Most of the required PM will be in your engine manuals. The boats are different and a manual for one wouldn't be much good on mant others. Charlie

Captain Scooter

I've had one powered with 115's and compared with 150s or even 175's (maximum) it's not the same. It would still go 32-35 kts which was fast enough but I did upgrade to one with 150s and I'd recommend that to anyone getting one. And yes 4-5 is fine as long as one or two are in the cockpit...

Jut got 30 $10 certificates from West Marine. Guess I spent a lot on the Garmin Electronics.... Now, what to use these for? I'll probably think of something.. :roll: Charlie

Great boat handling on the part of the sailboat. He knows what he's doing. The offset bilge keel is interesting, looks as if he has two of them? There's even a reef in the sail, that' a lot of wind for a little boat! Brings back memories when our kids used to holler "We're gonna die" I...

How many furlongs in a fortnight? :roll: Charlie

Darn, if my Excursion held more than 47 gallons, I'd drive up to NJ and buy some diesel! :thup :love Charlie

I've always fogged a carb engine THEN drained the carbs. Buy fogging spray, spray in the air intake until engine quits. Then follow the other advice. Don't forget the fuel filter change either now or in the spring before recommissioning. Charlie

stick around, "once a brat, always a brat". There's always a next boat once you have had one. They're like potato chips.. :mrgreen: Charlie
