    Down-rigger response time and longer boats.

    MarcoF makes some good points. Allow me to share what I've learned about downrigger fishing after over a decade of spending my summers getting folks of all abilities into fish. we'd bring in about a 1,000 salmon in a typical summer. * the length of the boat wont matter but you do need to be in...

    Permatrims: My 2 cents

    I had Doel fins, a permatrim type outboard attachment, on my twin hondas and later added trim tabs. I ended up giving away the Doel Fins. I found that I didn't need the fin gadgets to trim the boat. I can trim the boat with the trim tabs and then trim the outboards to to run at their most...

    Tablet advice for Navionics

    GLONASS, I think there is a pill for that. i've been using a Samsung Tab A for several years now with no complaints. If you plan on boating in Prineville Res you won't need a gps, some water would be handy though

    C-Dory 22 Accident

    that's a good strategy Harvey. I don't think the radome transmits so well when submerged......i wonder how it would do as a fishfinder? I like the reflective tape idea, i wonder if it would also increase the size of your radar reflection. The possibility of a trying to escape a submerged...

    Towing speed (?)

    MAN, where's the commons sense around here. Simple math tells you that the more time you spend on the road, the greater the odds are of being in an accident, this is especially true in wintry, icy conditions. Using my finely honed critical thinking skills, it's a no brainier to deduct that by...

    First cruise lower Puget Sound

    as mentioned, Swantown in Olympia is a good place to start a south sound adventure. They have a nice ramp and good parking facilities. There's been a few Cbrat gatherings at Jarrell Cove state park which offers a nice, protected, dock with an opportunity to walk about. Another Cbrat...

    22' weigh in

    boy, a tongue failure would be a white knuckler. It's amazing the kind of things some RV and boat manufactures and dealers pull off. Sportcraft, a stand-up outfit, originally sold this and they put it on the beefy single axle trailer with the six lug axle.

    Centering boat on trailer

    i figure to strap them on the guide bunks to act kind of like a fender to hold the boat off of the guide. I'll take them off once the boat is loaded and I should have an inch or so gap between the guides and the boat . Right now my boat is right up to the guide on the port side with about a 3"...

    Centering boat on trailer

    when I pulled the boat out of the drink the other day there was a nasty breeze that kept the boat pinned against the port side bunk board guide,,,,,,arrg. Years ago I made an over engineered, clunky gadget that slipped over the side boards to help center the boat on the trailer. They got lost...

    Good eye, anymore I travel light since I retired from the fishing business. I may have enough gear in the garage though to put the Blue~C into the tandem axle category.

    ya, the Suzukis are on a no carb diet. I think the biggest difference is that they use a lighter weight oil than some of the older engines

    oh fer sure if your boat is in the 4,000# zone a double is in order. I'm going to try and stay in the single axle weight range, luckily, I like lite beer and on long trips we generally fuel up when we get where we're going
