Jack, Sounds like a rough day all around. Glad everything turned out OK. There is always Homer..... tight lines, Dave

I have a similiar problem. The water is coming from the bottom of the door under the latch. The door is slightly warped and does not fit tight against the weatherstriping. I was getting water in the cabin, and on both sides of the bildge pocket. Still working on a cleaver fix, it is on the...

Sportcraft in Portland has a new 16, Panhandle in Juneau has a new 19. Regards, Dave

I had the fancy Lowrance/Suzuki gauge give out this spring. I am sure the weather did not help it any. No big loss, I could never get it to work anyway. Raymarine C-80 did just fine. I am more concerned about stranded water freezing. I make it a point to shop vac anywhere water will collect...

Lots of good advice so far. Unless you are going to strictly deal in sheet goods a jointer is a must have. Also good workworking bench with vise and bench dogs. Nice and heavy with a true surface. 95% of my tools are Delta or Porter Cable. In my opinion, good stuff at reasonable prices...

I had water coming in around the bottom of the door (latch side). It would show up on the outside of the mid cabin bilge "pocket" under the step. If I did not get to it soon enough it would pool around the water tank and under the galley cabinet. Lots of good ideas mentioned in previous...

All, While chasing down stray water in the cabin I found the cabin door to be slightly warped (2005 vintage). The bottom on the latch/handle side is bent about 1" out and does not touch the weatherstripping. The latch locks up tight and has great squeeze on the weatherstripping. The top and...

No legal advice here, but a general market reference on a fairly limited run of vessels. I suspect you already know about these as it appears to be a small social circle, but if not here you go. Alaskaboatbrokers has two listed for sale (no relation or commercial interest). One is described...

Jay, Give Jordan Morse a call at Polar Wire / Marine. He is a local Raymarine rep. He was very helpful getting to know my "new to me" Raymarine system. I picked his brain for hours before I was comfortable with the system. Regards, Dave

I have the stock 18's they do not come close to giving us a good three day weekend range. To up capacity I use two 15 gallon totes/drums that have a vented cap and pick up tube. I connect them to the other side of the racor with quick connects and a line with a squeeze bulb. They take up some...

All, I just had some work done on the RayAnn by Joel Morse owner of Ashbreez boatworks in Anchorage, Alaska. 907 529-1907 He repainted the bottom, buffed the hull and cabin, touched up some gel coat dings here and there and filled some holes in the cockpit and rail from the previous owners...

Sounds like Whittier.

Do you have any check engine codes associated with the rough idleing? I had something similiar on a 2005 FI Zuki, it threw a 3-1 code. The idle airflow sensor needed cleaning and adjusting/calibrating. Not a big deal, but something I could not do. The shop took care of it in a few minutes...

I could not be happier with my Permatrim. Installed it last year and got great results, I can actually trim the boat now. The only negative I have is it added a little bit of length to the overall boat / trailer combination. When backing into the driveway I checked my usual reference point in...

Thanks everyone! The humor and advice is always appreciated. I will check the wiring. I wonder if the "park hot wire" internal connection is corroded. I will take a peak in the motor housing. If I can get the wiper off without using a sawzall. Now those are some entertaining threads. I will...

Ok here is a good one. Tucked into a cove last night. Sleeping soundly and about 2:30am the starboard windshield wiper starts running. I wack my head and reach around to the switch. Indicator lights on,switch is off. Work the switch a few times, wipers still humming. Grab a headlamp, pull...

Thanks, Pictures are always appreciated. It sounds doable, it just may take some time... and a bucket of wire connectors. As always, I really appreciate the help! Regards, Dave

All, I would like to move the house battery from the port lazarette to the starboard. I think it would balance the boat better as the kicker and water tank are both to port, and the trim tabs are maxed out when running. From prior posts I have gathered it is possible to put both batteries on...

The boss would love to have a bigger boat and the slip at cliffside. That is why she is "Head of the Entertainment Committee". Unfortunately the "Head of the Funds Appropriation Committee" (me) can't get the paycheck to stretch that far..Besides if I can't keep it in the back yard, I don't...

Wayne, I like the sofa conversion. I tried something similiar last season to haul around the inlaws. It was not as plush but was functional. The only problem was getting the boat to trim out when running. I was very port heavy, maxed out trim tabs did little to help. I shuffled the extra...
