Ethanol probably accounts for most of the gasoline purchased and yet users keep on buying it. If it was a problem, I don't think we would see repeat customers. If it truly causes trouble in the marine industry, then the marine industry will need to adapt. I've used Ethanol since it was...

Ethonal is evil stuff :evil: , and has no business being in gasoline. hmmm. Why doesn't Ethanol cause trouble with automobiles???

My sources say fiberglass is a poor fuel tank construction material even for non ethanol fuel. Anybody have information supporting that theory?

Sounds reasonable about the fuel 'turnover' rate....how is the reported degradation of fuel tanks and hoses that are blamed on Ethanol fuels explained?

Why don't cars and trucks experience the problems that boaters seem to experience with ethanol fuels?

Hey Rich, I did a very similar test adding all the additives I could find on the market to determine the best ones. My results were the same as yours. Using a glass bottle with the bad fuel and water, nothing changed. As a result, I don't use any of the additives. I would if i thought they...

Our prop on the 135 Honda is s3 x 14 1/2 x 15. It will hit 5500 rpms. ...wondering if it should turn a bit higher. We seem to always be a bit heavy. Suggestions welcomed.

Being a long way from Asian markets are the big reason we purchase a case at a time. We love our Wallas but sure hope we never have to buy parts or have it serviced. The butane stove sure works great in the cockpit for when we don't want to warm up the cabin.

Try an Asian Market. They usually sell for around $1.50 an 8oz. can. Buy a case at a time.

Added an autopilot. Now, to get out there and see how it works. On our 1060 mile cruise last winter many cruisers advised us how much they liked and used theirs so....

Hello Larry and Tracy! It was great seeing you on the water today as well! Its always fun to see another C Dory heading our way! We put Lake Effect on the St. Johns River at Jacksonville, Fla. and traveled the intercoastal waterway to Marathon City Marina at Vaca Key. We were heading back...

Hey Roger, We left last Sunday. Sure would have liked to meet you. We had a great time there at Boot Key Harbor at Marathon Municipal Marina. We took a bus to Key West one day. We are on our way back to Jacksonville, Fla. at present. Tonight, we are anchored at Lake Sylvia in Fort...

Hey Roger, We are still in the Keys. We are at Marathon City Marina on a mooring ball in Boot Key Harbor. We plan on heading towards Key Largo early in the morning. Hope to see you along the way somewhere. Dan

We finally arrived at Boot Key Municipal Harbor today! What a great place to spend some time! Everybody has been so helpful. We look forward to exploring the area. Boat projects can wait till we get home. Total trip mileage so far....450 miles. What a great way to spend the winter.

Will C Thanks for the tip. Has anyone heard if having the valve closed and the handle removed is in compliance?

We launched our boat at Jacksonville, Fla. on the St. Johns river January 20 and have traveled the ICW down the coast and are presently anchored in Tarpon Basin at Key Largo. We have seen many wonderful sights and have really enjoyed the trip. The weather has been outstanding. The adventure...

We will probably be there a week or so but it took us a month to get here! I'm thinking it may take a month to get back. Its been great fun so far.

Can't help you with the trailer but we may just see you on your way south. We put in at Jacksonville January 20 and traveled the ICW south. We are presently at Key Largo and hope to be in Marathon in a couple of days. It sure has been nice!

After leaving Peck Lake, we traveled south on the ICW to the anchorage a Boco Raton. We had lots of boats there for company but we were able to take advantage of our shallow draft and pick a very nice spot to spend the night. The homes and yachts observed on this part of the waterway was simply...

Hey Boris, We will try to include the Space Center on our way back. From Cocoa, we went on South to Vero Beach Marina waiting on a nice tail wind. What a place! Very accomadating marina and friendly patrons. The town has everything you need and buses to get you there. Left Vero Beach...
