A little tip on refilling 1 lb cyl. put the empty cyl. in the freezer for an hour or so before filling. Works way better. mbw

doryman, i meant troll as close to the bottom as you can. michael

We discovered a great way to fish for buts, we just put our salmon rigs right on the bottom. flashers and hootchies. We tried this in Bamfield and Sekiu and caught more than we did in the same time jigging. And best of all no dogs. mbw

We're sitting in Kona woke to CD sirens at 6:00 am, been evacuated to higher ground. Bout an hour to go before it hits. Don't expect much here, estimates are for a 6' first wave. more later michael

El and Bill, I spent a week there two years ago. beautiful place went in the first week of sept. Weather was very nice. We had two days of rough water off shore, we were going 7, and 24 miles offshore to fish. We found plenty offshore but few in the sound itself. Islands were quite...

Any one know if this boat will sleep 4? michael

I installed one and it has worked very well, but I would advise a smaller hatch installed in the more accesable PP space so you can vent the storage space easier, A smaller hatch just forward is more aceessable for smaller items, as you don't have to lift the bedding,etc.. I lined it with...

I put mine on the grab rail behind the open door fits perfect and always handy. michael

We spend most of our boating time on Flathead its a very nice lake, clean clear water, we like it much better than Coeur d alene ad there is seldom much traffic. Water is slow to warm up in the summer usually july before we swim much. Mostly we are around the Big arm area and out and around...

Nice work, great idea, Could you tell me what is the cover you have under the bunk? Looks like a nice touch to cover up the PP, or have you moved it? michael

West marine carries a 4 step ladder that had brackets that you can attach to the deck to lock the ladder in place. I use mine for climbing in the bow and its great as you can grab the bow rail for help boarding. This ladder hooks over the gunnel for use as a swim ladder, and folds and can...

Could anyone tell me how much bigger the opening might be? I have two batteries in my starboard side and it would be great to get a little more clearance. Michael

I got brave and pulled the lower and the impeller was shredded. SO I'm waiting on parts now. Wasn't too hard so far, once you find the hidden bolt and figure out the shifter rod. michael

Thanks I blew air down the tube and its not blocked. Just can't get any water flowing. I hate to run it very much to keep trying. michael

I can't seem to find much on changing impellers. Anyone let me know how difficult it is to change impellers (got no pee water) on a honda 40? Would one need any special tools? Any other parts I should change at the same time. No honda dealer within 3-4 hours? Thanks for any advice

I've used a poly tarp for the past three years. It works fine and is relatively cheep. The poly tarp will only last a couple a years though. I put 2x4's lengthwise on the bow and stern so the snow just slides off. My nest purchase will be a 20x30 tarp from Northern tool its cordura and is...

I had the same problem, turned out it was a bad unit. Try the lowrance website , they have a process to go through. call them if you don't get it to work. Call early in the morning for best chance of not having to hold for a while. michael

Don't know myself, but I've been trying to find a LED replacement for mine and I think west marine wm 9530411 might work. Ill give them a call and see. Anyone else know for sure. micheal

Anyone want to take a shot at explaining what a person needs to do to cruise from US to canada to spend some time at a place like Bamfield? Can arrangements be made over I-net? I'm assuming one must stop somewhere for customs, and again coming back to US. I'm thinking of leaving from Port...

Hey the boat in the last photo has a great looking boarding plank. Can I get more info. thanks michael
