Several years ago, when I had my Hewescraft, I took some family & friends for a vacation on Orcas. It was a private campground but had its own dock and launch ramp. That might be another option. Sorry, I disremember the name of the campground but IIRC it was on the north side of Orcas, more or...

George, the factory used to deliver boats with front window covers but told owners not to use them for trailering as they would scratch the windows. We re-made the fabric into interior front window curtains. Warren

That is what I thought and the photo above is not a 16 but I did not see photos in the Anna Leigh album of the job, just the 16 album. Anyway, it is something I want to do on the 22 eventually, also. Warren

Your topic says "25" but this is about the 16, no? Warren

The Admiral has tasked me with finding more of the sliding snaps that hold up the curtain across the Tom Cat berth. We have more snaps in the Sunbrella than we have snaps in the track. Any suggestions on where they might be found and what they are called? Thanks, Warren

Bob and other cat fans, here is info on two new open fishing cats. One of them is a 40' with 4 x 300 hp! Click here for Soundings videos. Warren

:lol:

Wondering if our northern neighbors have avoided the Ethanol scam -- i.e, do I need to use Sta-Bil with Canadian gas? Thanks, Warren

Note just for clarity that the discussion here is about older motors, with actual carburetors. Newer motors all have fuel injection and AFAIK running dry is never necessary with FI. Warren

I personally am not insured with them (I have a "yacht policy" with Ace) but many members swear by Progressive. Warren

HERE is more info from DeLorme. Warren

Jay, you should talk to Jeffrey Siegel at Active Captain because, don't forget, he is advertising Active Captain compatibility with eSeaChart on the iPhone/iPad and everyone knows that Steve Jobs hates Flash so any iPhone or iPad app will by definition be Flash-free. jeff@activecaptain.com is...

Jay, where did you find the above? I went back to the ActiveCaptain website and to the eSeaChart website and could not find it. The reviews on the Apple iPhone app store made no mention of such a limitation but did mention problems in getting charts to quilt seamlessly. Nothing about needing...

This thread was spun off from an existing SPOT thread at member request. The original post: Warren

Certainly a better deal than the previously-announced Active Captain iPhone product, from Navimatics. That one costs $24.99 for just the West Coast, as opposed to $7.99 for eSeaChart and all NOAA charts. It has received mixed reviews on the app store, but I already have the Navionics app, which...

DeLorme is now coming out with a 2-way Iridium-based satellite text messaging system that works either with their PN-60w GPS or an Android smartphone. More HERE. Warren

He told me that the problem could not always be reproduced so I went ahead and bought some from Fisheries and will see if they affect my boat. Warren

The 2 Raymarine E-80s on my Tom Cat have been increasingly been refusing to play nice with each other (not recognizing the master/slave relationship, spontaneously rebooting, etc.) The guy who sold them to me (very knowledgeable vendor) told me there were two possibilities that I should...

You might check to make sure there is no water intrusion into the motor of the windlass. I sent Tom Herrick a busted windlass that exhibited the same symptoms, that I knew suffered from water damage, and he got it running after going through the motor. Warren
