C-Worthy, Ted is a great friend of the Sound and has spent more time there than most people ever will. He and his friend Chris are the driving forces behind GoAK. They organize people to comment on projects such at the Herring Bay fuel dock. I would not know to comment if Chris did not get...

Thanks to all my steering is in and working properly. It is awesome. I highly recommend the change. One hint, make sure it steers the right direction when you turn the wheel - installed mine as directed, I thought, only to find out when I launched that left meant right and visa versa. An...

Let me wade in here. First, with all due respect, the comment that the $40 million dollars spent by the cruise industry in Alaska is supporting wildlife is ridiculous. That money goes to the cruise ship owners, the store owners in the ports, some tourist operations, and a few tax dollars to...

Merv, enjoy the Guiness. Think I may do the same. Will look forward to the pics once you are honored with the privilege of a photo album. Thanks. Rob

Chivita, I have some designs in my head for a tie bar system similar to what the factory does for Sea Star units, but I don't have the expertise or equipment to fabricate stainless (and don't have any good friends that do either), so not inclined to go that route. And by then, the Sea Star unit...

Thanks Winyah, glad to hear it has worked out for you. Gives me hope. I actually had thought of your solution but it appeared that tilting the port motor while at an angle would put the tie bar in hard contact the hydraulic unit. I really want to make it "dummy proof" if possible. My next...

Had my steering cable break last weekend about 45 miles out in PWS. Jury rigged a tiller to make it back. Decided this is a good time to switch to hydraulic steering, so I bought the Baystar unit. I have twin Honda 45s on a 1991 vintage 22 Cruiser. The new Baystar unit for Hondas when...

Sea wolf, you located yours in about the same place I had considered for the Force 10 in my boat. Where do you have the propane tank (in a bracket on the outside of the cabin bulkhead?). Inside worried me and keeping the tanks from rusting up on the outside seemed problematic. I could not...

Sea Wolf, I looked at the Force 10 stove, but in addition to an aversion to propane in a boat (I even use charcoal in my grill), the specs required a 30 or 36" flue as a minimum (apparently to maintain the draft). Since I carry my inflatable dingy on top, I could not have a flue pipe extending...

I have a Toyo stove/heater similar to the Wallas (about $1200 including optional side vent and blower). I would recommend it - the only problem I have had is trying to start it in the cold (below freezing) with a low battery. It will flood in this circumstance. Otherwise it is a great unit...

I've seen everything now. Should work great on halibut. :roll:

Hi, could you fix access for me to my photo album, at your leisure. Thanks. Rob aka Nainu
