My thoughts that the injector problem was caused by bad fuel is just a guess. I have a 10 micron filter (not a racor) and the missing problem cleared up after I changed the filter the first time. Maybe it wasn't the filter and the injector problem is just coincidental. At any rate the injector...

Very similar symptoms on my Yami 150. Would not rev above 4000 under load. Changed all filters, including the $50 one on the motor, new plugs, drained the VST, check compression with no joy. Finally took it to a dealer to put it on their diagnostic computer, nothing showed up. Dealer pulled the...

Although I have not use any I know there are a number of marinas that offer transient moorage in the False Creek/Coal harbour area of Vancouver. Probably your best bet would be to contact the Vancouver Boaters Welcome Centre They would have the best current info on Marinas and launch ramps...

This picture shows how the battery looks. I guess seeing it has been 84 months since installation date I shouldn't expect any warranty! LOL. I think what probably happened is I've gotten fairly lax in checking the electrolyte level because in the past 7 years the batteries have hardly...

Thanks for the replies. There is no chance that it was freezing that caused the battery to break. Temps don't get that cold here. The batteries are definitely near the max of their life span and could possibly be worn out enough to short out internally. I'm probably remembering wrong on the...

Well maybe explodes is too graphic a word but it did blow off the battery caps and crack and raise the top of the case about 3/16 of an inch pretty much all around the top of the battery. We haven't used Meander since our Jan 1st outing and she has been stored with her storage cover on, and with...

Winter cruising in the PNW is not only doable it can be fantastic. Because the marine weather was predicted to be settled Anne & I decided that we'd celebrate new years on Meander this year. Our plan was to leave Powell River BC early on Dec 31 cruise across Georgia Strait to Hornby Island...

We towed our 25 with a 2006 Dodge hemi 5.7 for about 3 years. We towed around Vancouver BC and from Vancouver to Prince Rupert BC. As others have said the power is not a problem. The brakes on the 1500 are adequate for stopping but they do not last long when you tow a 25 quite a lot. Probably...
