Curious if anyone could enlighten me a bit on Seiku area salmon. ideal launch area, overnight stay, etc? Is it possible to get into good fishing relatively close to the launch, or would we have to travel quite a bit by water? we have spent most of our time getting to know the south sound and...

that price is a steal. :thup

perfect :thup

thanks for the fishing tips, Ron! the pistachios comment is too funny, but I bet $50 there will be a full stocked bag of pistachios on our boat now :mrgreen:

realistically speaking, how long of a cruise is it for you guys from Chelan to Stehekin? I figure at 15knots its a long hard ride. I dont know if I've ever pushed the motor straight at cruising speed for 4 hours before. any thing I should consider there? when you guys made the long trip, did...

thanks Guys, I appreciate it. I just did some mapping of a few of my trips last year and realized that 120+ miles was done a couple times just on my San Juan trips. I think I'm a tad more apprehensive on this one knowing I may have less support and like you mentioned, cell reception. Ron, I...

For various reasons, my brother and I are planning a Chelan to Stehekin trip soon. Fishing and hunting are on the agenda. I've taken long cruises over a weekend, but I think this may be the longest one (60+ miles each way?) with the least amount of stops and support along the way. I wanted to...

Yesterday I spent about 7 hours washing, buffing, polishing, waxing the hull and cockpit. for an '88 i'm happy with how she shined :D I'm pretty proud of the progress!

boating reminds me of when I used to raise exotic sea horses and other salt water things. the old motto was: "Only bad things happen quickly" every time I step out on the gunnels to go drop anchor or even just in my driveway washing the boat, I am afraid the first time I stop thinking about...

So I'm kind of confused to as how enough fuel got into the motor to start a few times and then die considering what I found. I opened up and learned the moving parts per the diagram Ron sent me (thanks!) but before I decided to really dig in I traced the fuel line back one more time to make...

Hi Ron, thanks for the tips! here are some replies: Did that- got it to start fast but then died. I'm going to check these tonight- it does have the quick disconnects, that was the first thing I checked too because it seemed like a fuel delivery issue to me. Put in new plugs 2 weeks ago...

yeah I thought maybe flooded too and tried the same thing but no progress there. this is my third year with this motor and its always started just fine in water or with muffs and I considered myself fortunate to have such a great 2 stroke! LOL I'll check for clogs tonight and then I'll tinker...

just had spring tune ups done and the mechanic said it started fine for him but I'm having a rough time with my 9.9merc 2 stroke. bulb is primed tight, switch is in the on position, choke is pulled out and twisted to fast. what happens is if I can get it to start, it kicks over, revs high...

ha, its ridiculous how long that took me. :roll:
