When I was working on Evinrude/Johnsons, I would heat the housings 'till the paint smoked' . Sometimes past that point, so a repaint would be needed. If heating, try to get the heat into the housing fast, perhaps two torches at once. The idea is to heat the housing, and not have too much heat...

Bob, I agree that light taps around the housing might help.

The puller you show puts pressure on the prop shaft end and pulls on the carrier. Do NOT strike the end of the puller with a hammer. The force of a hammer strike would be transmitted to the forward gear thrust bearing and could damage the bearing rollers or races. The puller force path is...

If you get the outer seal out, inspect the inner seal closely. If no damage seen, install the outer. When I worked Evinrude/Johnson, we had a tool that could remove the seals with the carrier in place. It was a hollow tube with tapered threads on the end. It slipped over the prop shaft and...

Applying heat to the case around the carrier can help. Use propane or mapp gas, or perhaps a heat gun, never acetylene. Heat the case all around the carrier to expand the case. if the paint is smoking, that is enough heat. The heat can damage the o-rings, but so can just pulling the carrier...

Pat, I use a Logitech Trackman marble mouse via USB which stays in one place, and only the ball moves. This is much easier to use on the boat than a moving mouse. Mouse and hand are fixed, the fingers do the moving. Link: https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/trackman-marble?crid=7 I...

Pat, The cursor may be easier to find if you always 'park' it in one corner of the screen. I too have problems with finding the cursor in Coastal Explorer.

E-10 works OK in cars, trucks and outboards that have fuel injection. It's the carburetors that cause problems. If the fuel system is sealed (as it is with fuel injection) the E-10 does not evaporate. If E-10 sits in a carb's float bowl and evaporates and absorbs moisture from the air...

Some comments: I did sell my CD 22 and bought a nice 37ft Taiwan Trawler 10 years ago. The trawler was less than a new CD 25 at the time. We have enjoyed the space, comforts, (two heads and a shower), and range (1000 miles on diesel). What we have learned is that slip rent is a reality, as...

My understanding of the history is that Ben Toland (of the C-Dory Tolands) designed both the Cape Cruiser/Venture and the Marinaut. The Cape cruiser was an improvement in hull design over the then approx 25 yr old C-Dory 22 design. When the Reynolds won the lawsuit over the design of the...

The materials are cheap enough to build something and test it to destruction. You could make something like a bench or box, and test it by standing on it, putting tools inside, or other abusive testing. Here is a link to the foam project on the website...

You can send a PM or email to Tyboo and he will place your add in the archives.

My info is dated now, but about 10 years ago, parking lot security was lacking at Discovery Harbor Launch Ramp parking lot. A photo of the harbor masters office. Other photos of the launch ramp start here...

Getting to Lund requires taking TWO ferries and driving thru Vancouver. Before there was a Tsawwassen ferry going to Nanaimo, you had to use the Horseshoe Bay terminal to get a ferry to Nanaimo. That terminal is at the bottom of a VERY STEEP hill. Not fun to trailer thru Vancouver, scary to...

Non ethanol gasoline is available at some marine fuel docks. Cap Santee in Anacortes has it. I would call the fuel docks near my usual cruising grounds and ask about their gasoline. Here is a link to an online listing of non-ethanol sources in Washington...

Here is another list!! This is a simpler version. This is also from Pat's Boating in Canada site. http://boating.ncf.ca/vhfchannels.html

What Forest said ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! This is the problem of fish farming brought right to our front door.

My guess is that this change is to allow channel input using a numerical keypad. Larry H

Harvey, Here are the 5 pages of the link: http://www.offshoreblue.com/communications/vhf-ca.php converted to JPEG files. These are also located in 'Nancy H' photos.
