    SE Alaska group cruise 2022

    Been watching your track the whole time, along with watching Jody drive home. I hope someday I get to go to SE Alaska. I suspect I have only one time in my future, but I sure do want to make it at least once. I'm still recovering from my knee surgery, but by next year I ought to be mobile. I...

    SE Alaska group cruise 2022

    I keep following both you and Jody on the Garmin and was taken by surprise to see Jody in Skagway and you in Hoonah. I continue to be enthralled by your great narrative and wish I could spend some time in SE Alaska. Hope you have a fantastic remainder to your trip. Maybe one day when we head to...

    SE Alaska group cruise 2022

    Jay/Jody/All, I have been following Jody's InReach since he left Utah. I haven't been on C-Brats in ages, but am jealous reading about your trip. My C-Dory sits in my driveway, having been unused since I saw you at Lake Powell two or three years ago. Virus and bad knees have curtailed my...

    Wallas Stove not working

    I'm with Jay on the replacement. My new stove has not given me any problem at all. The only issue it ever has is getting red sand all over and inside from lots of time in the Southwest at Lake Powell. I remove it and clean it at least once a year and more if I go frequently.

    Wallas Stove not working

    There is nothing more that hasn't been said, but having run through all this many times, the cheapest solution for me a few years ago was to buy a new stove. (Still not cheap though.) Scan Marine was kind enough to give me a discount on all the parts I'd bought trying to fix the old one. My old...

    wallis blower not working

    I know a ton of folks answered you and I don't know much about these stoves, but I've dealt with mine enough that I would agree with whomever made the comment, "Scan Marine has the best service department ever." I have NEVER had them not help me. They've gotten my stove running when I was in...

    Desert Dory - Lake Powell 16-21 May 2020

    Looks like you had a great time. Lake Powell is a pretty nice place. Hopefully I can get there soon.

    St Helens

    I really enjoyed the story of your guardian angel. I was at work in north Denver. For a long time, every day after work, I had to wipe off the ash from my windshield before I would go home. I discovered after the first time that using my windshield wipers was a big mistake. It would turn to...

    Zoom for technical issues

    Bob, Just to let you know, I lurk here pretty much all the time, I just don't say much. Tony

    Moving ashore after 7 years of living aboard

    I don't post much here and do a lot of reading, but you guys have lived my own dream. It sounds like quite the adventure. I'd love to duplicate it someday, but who knows?

    The Far C'r/Vega/Firefly Adventure team goes to Lake Powell

    What a great video. I've been going to Lake Powell for decades and love the place. Your video brought back lots of memories. Spent the night there in September and met Jay and Tony & Diane. Only got to see Jody briefly as we headed north and he was heading south. Oak Canyon is a great place to...

    Lake Powell fall 2019

    Jay, It was good to finally meet you. I finally got my C-Brats account all fixed yesterday, so am back after about a two year hiatus. Good to see Tony & Diane as well as Jody too. Didn't even know you guys were going to be there, so it was good to stumble upon you all. Too bad I had to get my...

    ProPulse / Honda BF40 Prop Question

    I sent an inquiry to ProPulse. I was hoping not to have to go directly to them. I'm beginning to think I may not have gotten all the components required in the box. One box had a couple of items the other didn't, but neither had what it appears I need. I'll keep looking and hope I hear from...

    ProPulse / Honda BF40 Prop Question

    I'll have to take a photo of the prop itself. The rear of the shaft (where the washer goes) has two semi-circular indentations on the side and the two tits that stick up. The flat Honda washer only touches the prop on the two tits and nowhere else. It isn't possible to put the washer on. I have...

    ProPulse / Honda BF40 Prop Question

    So... Awhile back, I asked a few questions here about ProPulse Props. Got some great information and thank you all for that. There were pros/cons, kudos and some downers. All in all, I opted for a couple of these and bought them a couple of months ago. Naturally, being the on the spot guy that...

    Pro-Pulse Prop Question

    It's good to see somebody exuding such confidence! I'll do my best to tell you what kind of experiences I have with them. So... if you didn't want a ProPulse prop, what WOULD you put on two BF40's you wanted running at about 3700' elevation? I have some 10.5" aluminum props that I think are 11...

    Pro-Pulse Prop Question

    Actually, that wasn't more than I ever wanted to know. That put into words what I actually thought about the whole thing. I just hadn't had it explained well. It was much appreciated. I went with the 10.4 and found them for something like $180 somewhere and then $99 at West Marine. I didn't...

    Pro-Pulse Prop Question

    I understand completely about what you say about LP. Most of our boating was always on our little 30' houseboat. We've been in some storms that we thought were life ending. One in particular was what prompted my wife to finally tell me no more boating on Lake Powell until we were in a C-Dory...

    Pro-Pulse Prop Question

    The thing I have never understood is the physics of props. The 6901 and 6902 each have the same range of pitch, the only difference being the diameter - one is 10.4" and the other 11.5. Seems like the larger diameter would give you more power, but I'm not quite sure that's correct. Maybe it...

    Pro-Pulse Prop Question

    Thanks for the replies to all. I'll have to look at the specs on the 6902. The main thing I'm looking for is something that works at the elevation I'll spend most of my time. I don't think I'll too much higher than that, but I live in Colorado, so you never know, I might actually put my boat on...
