OK Jerry, will do. The thing that gets me though, I tried everything I could think of to eliminate those data boxes and finally gave up. And yes, I've studied the manuals. Then, in 2010, I purchased the firmware upgrades for the plotter and the sonar module. At that time I was hopeful that...

Boy, if you could only remember the steps I'd be very grateful. I think Dr. Bob had one too. Doc, if you know, please share. I gave up trying a long time ago.

I measured and the Moellers won't fit Adeline. I've installed the factory "trays" under the gunnels and that limits me to about 32" x 18" of space between the step and the under-well area. The best thing I could do to increase range is replace my trusty old Johnson. That would double it right...

Tap Plastics has their own line of epoxies (cloth and fillers too) at a big discount if you have a store near you.

This gets me to thinking... Adeline was originally delivered with off-the-shelf Tempo 18 gallon tanks. They actually provide about 17 because of the floor angle and position of the pick-ups. A six gallon portable can fit between them. This provides around 40 gallons total (17+17+6). Later...

I'd sure like to see some pictures of that. To me, saddle tanks are the best way to carry a heavy fuel load. It's forward and out of the way. Imagine 45 - 50 gallons under the well and 48 gallons under the gunnels. Fill up ashore and avoid buying expensive marina gas. In no time at all the...

Just to muddy up the waters a bit more... Examine the "Revisions" in Sunbeam's images... 3 - "Reduce height 1.00" Does that change account for the 2 gallon reduction in capacity from 25 to 23 ? It seems that these tanks varied in dimensions/capacity/fittings over time. Were there "ISSUES"...

I'll say this about cable-steering...it may be slow, and it may be physical, but...uh, what was my point...OH YEAH, at least it never spit in my eye. :disgust

I'll have to remember that. Guden-too-tite is usually my problem. You know, if tight is good, tighter is better. BIG MISTAKE !

Here's another thought...the inflatable offers a wonderful place to store things while underway. Groceries, tackle, bumpers, gas cans...you name it. This is where an inflatable floor is nice. It offers a soft, smooshy ride for whatever you toss up there. Also protects the roof from any...

2" wide nylon strap (smooth finish) with a cam-buckle near each end. One fore. One aft. Looped under handrail. Works for me. Strapworks

22 minutes. Not too bad. Gary, what took you so long ??? :disgust Seriously though, a stream of awesome suggestions in quick-time. Well done ! :smiled

Enlarge Holes With The Starrett Oops Arbor Click image

Really, really nice upgrades. Both home-runs. I especially like the rack "required no holes or mounting hardware on the boat". I hope the factory is paying attention.

I'd go with a 90 and an 8 hp kicker. This way you've got a trolling motor, emergency backup, and fuel-efficient propulsion for displacement cruising. Gas is gettin' mighty spendy. :roll:

If I was looking I'd be on the next flight to Seattle. Buy it now, fly back home, drive to Seattle, tow back home. He who hesitates is lost.

I replaced the "lens" on Adeline in '95. I ordered my replacement from Bomar. Only later did I learn that Tap Plastics could've fabbed the same thing for just a few bucks. Take them the cracked lens or a template and you can save a bundle. Choose your preferred tint. While your having them...
