I have a close friend who is a first responder in the EMS field. As such she was able to receive the vaccine in January. Unfortunately she has had a severe reaction. She has been incapacitated and unable to function in daily life since then. She is an extreme athlete and has been been able to...

Installed the Wallas 1300 today. Utilized the space between the aft facing seat and the hull. Built a bulkhead out of 3/4” plywood that it is mounted to. The fuel tank is in the box under the seat. Plan to install a remote start switch in the vbirth. Thanks for all of the advice on the...

We have the TDS 220. I could not tell from their website if the tenders had a common tube diameter. Your cheapest option might be to take your steel bracket to a local welder. I considered stainless but cost and weight won out. The aluminum is much easier to take on and off, mostly because it...

Thank you CC for adding my photo. Just wanted to share that I had an aluminum motor brackett fabricated by a local welder to replace the stock bracket. The stock bracket had rusted and rust stained the gelcoat on the cabin top. It ran about $200 but is stronger, rustproof and about the same...

Thanks Sandy. It looks like I’ll have about 8600 available BTU’s if both the Wallas and Dickinson are needed, yet be able to sip JetA or kerosene in the Wallas when that is adequate. With most DIY projects I subscribe to the theory of “overbuild to make up for lack of engineering”. We will be...

Based on the much appreciated input from some trusted Cbrats, I ordered the Wallas 1300 yesterday. Sounds very durable and trouble free with plenty of dry heat. I’ll post some install pics when I get it installed. I’ll leave the Dickinson P9000 in for now for redundancy and added heat...

Signed up and planning to attend. We have only ever been to one several years ago. Thanks for your efforts to organize. Ken and Harriet

Thanks everyone for the great input. I’m still undecided. There are several good options but it seems everything is a compromise. Most of you favor forced air systems for heat distribution and moisture control it appears. I called Bruce at Scan Marine today to ask some questions about the...

It is great that both governments are being cautious about the pandemic, As time and understanding of the science and risks/benefits of shutdowns is better understood, it becomes more obvious that many more have suffered from the economic impacts than the physical and mental health impacts of...

I am seriously thinking about rebuilding the cabinet of Lochsa to incorporate a Dickinson Lofoten diesel heater/cooktop. http://dickinsonmarine.com/product/lofo ... ed-heater/ My objective is to be able to boat in the most extreme weather, temperature/ humidity conditions in a warm and dry...

Agree that the Garmin In-reach is a good tool for you to consider. Even if you do not use the convenience of typing on a smartphone, just using the user devised messages may meet your needs. Ours gets a lot of use.

Congratulations! We’ve had ours about 10 years and still dream and plan new adventures. We drove from Idaho to Clearwater, FL to purchase Lochsa. Find myself sitting in it in the garage sometimes. Best of times in you and your wife’s new adventures. Ken

Thank you for the replies Jay and Jody. It appears between the starter kit and the Honda supply cable it would run about $180. If I understand it correctly, this would provide the following basic engine data to my Garmin chart plotter: RPM, Voltage, Alarm-Check engine, Alarm-low voltage, engine...

I’m just beginning to research what I need to connect a new Honda BF90 with the Garmin GPSMAP 740S. I looked at the GPSstore just long enough to get confused. Any tips on what component I need? I assume it is just plug and play at both the motor and chart plotter? Thanks in advance, Ken I...

You are welcome Jay. I am very much enjoying the conversation and learning a great deal. I believe Americans and Canadians have a great deal of ingenuity when it comes to figuring out how to make things work in difficult times. Not beat the system or break the law but rather think through the...
