The Stanley thermos of 1 qt or more capacity is a dandy. I have two and they keep liquids hotter, longer than Thermos brand and Nissan brand. I use them ice fishing and etc. My favorite has a small dent from being run over with a Jeep Cherokee years ago. But the question of a smaller thermos...

Hi George, Good to hear from you and nice pics of Maine by the way. I like it that you are making these tests with your equipment. :wink: Do you think this test is dispositive? "Next, I turned off Eco, turned the power switch of the AC off, set the fan and the cooling to low. When I turned...

Hey Les, If you need help in deciding between single or twins just let me know. I will sleep better knowing Dusty may be afloat somewhere. Best wishes. Mark

Hi Pat, I agree no reason to throw baby out with bathwater, you should keep the switches and vsr relay, fix it if you have to, ultimately it makes the system more foolproof (and I appreciate the ingenuity of fools). When you charge the batteries on shorepower I presume that there are separate...

Your keel to top of radar dome with a short arch or with a short pedestal will be under eight feet as stated above. No comment on what distance is from skeg to radar dome or what needs to be measured for dry storage etc. But you will go under an eight foot bridge on the water by the inches your...

I have the low radar arch. This arch would also fit the high top version so that shouldn't make any difference. From keel to anchor light is 8' 2" on my 22. The anchor light is 4 to 6 inches or so above the radar dome. Boat is miles away in barn until spring but you could find pics in my album...

Tad, I did similar project(s) without horizontal bar. My downrigger bases on gunwales can hold three rods and three more in center mount. I do have a vertical SS rail support in center of shelf. I don,t have swim step but shelf is multi use for tackle. misc., noise blocker, water blocker7 Al -...

I vote North Central. Big water: http://www.lakelandboating.com/captains ... .cfm?id=42 Or the North Channel again with emphasis on the W 1/2. Or Lake Nipigon - Rainy (again). Or MI inland waterway in fall, maybe visit Torch Lake (again). Heck even the Illinois river would be enhanced by...

In 04 the factory only installed the forward bilge pumps. Some 04s had the Rules that turned on every few minutes but most were switched over to have the built in float switch. You shoul be able to separate the larger top part of the pump from the glued in screen part. The stern pump is after...

I love Tom's posts and he has a great boat. I also fish a lot but do an equal amount of cruising. The venture has some nice features, but mainly it is a larger boat. 1000 lbs heavier dry weight, and needs more horsepower than the 22 and may need more towing vehicle than the 22. Most of its...

Hi Steve, You will like the PTs. Will really get the bow down, will allow you to stay on plane a couple of kph slower, will give you some lateral trim without the trim tabs (trim tabs are better for this). I wouldn't go back. Mark

That price is maybe 10% of a genuine Bruce and maybe 40% to 50% of a Bruce knock off. I use a 16.5 Bruce knock off with 20 feet of chain on my 22 and am content, as are many others on this site. I carry a Danforth back up for soft mud, soft sand, etc. The Bruce types are great at resetting in...

Doggone it Jack, On behalf of the Alaska and Upper Midwest brethren, we don't want to hear about wind and rain. :) Mark

Welcome Dan, I know your summer waters a bit and hope to visit the winter waters some day. You have a neighbor, Al, a few hundred miles to the W on Rainy Lake but he visits Superior often, check his photos in the Moose album. We have a Brat on Isle Royale too, and have threatened a gathering...

I made a bracket out of 3/8 alu & a piece of oak2X4, bolted it to the front of the splashwell on the port side Must mean the port side as you face aft. :wink

CW, I don't know about anchoring in a hog line, but I am not unwilling to try it. The theory of the snubbers was to place a snubber between your dipsy diver (or similar diving disk or device) and your lure. Fishing with monofilament with many yards of line in the water the line will stretch. If...

I believe football Tom B does own a C-Dory 22. It is one several dinghies carried aboard his boat, used mostly for rainy days. :wink Mark

Congrats on the ML. Happy Birthday Dixie!! Mark

The Detroit Boat show later in the year which is held at multiple locations on the water has many fine boats. I have threatened for some years to go to the trawler fest in Wisconsin. They boats, classes and etc. The dealer sells a variety of NW pilot house boats as well as all the exhibitors...

Don't know Rollie, but it caused me to look at all your pictures again. Made me long for soft water no doubt! When Nick gets his generator we can always call him for a jump. Mark
