Some time back I participated in a chat about towing a Walker Bay behind a 22' C-dory. Now, I understand all of the limitations and own an inflatable with a 2hp Honda which went to Desolation Sound with us. Thing is, we live on the protected waters of the South Puget Sound and when a friend...

With the solid advice given here, I have replaced disk brake pads all around on my dual axle King trailer. The caliper model # can be found on the back of the caliper. Parts: My model is Tiedown brand 46 304 and the match for pads is the same as for a 1990 chevy cavaleer. The replacements come...

After getting home from our trip up north an easy drive R/T between Campbell River BC and Olympia, WA I inspected the break pads and found that they are almost gone on the outside and nearly new on the inside at each wheel. Does anyone know what would cause this and how to fix it? Also, at a...

Based upon our recent trip to Desolation Sound we have the following recommendations for those intending to launch and park at Campbell River. We checked out the Salmon Point Resort and found it to offer camping on land and cabins and to be in a nice setting. But the marina has no power, the...

www.boat.wa.gov This site intends to serve as a one stop site for boating related information. Previously this information was located on many sites and you had to know where to look. I am told, this cooperative effort between agencies saves money even as it makes state services and information...

At the recent Cathlamet gathering the idea of holding a c-brat gathering in June near the mouth of the Columbia was talked about in connection with a chance to Sturgeon fish near the mouth of the river. This has long been a goal of mine and in talking with Tyboo Mike, it was suggested that I...

At a recent gathering Kathleen and I had the pleasure of seeing Traveler and some of the mods added to her. One very nice add was a canvas matching snap on zipper boot around the cabin door with a screen that could be rolled up to one side when not in use. I have also seen, not sure if it was...

At the C-brat gathering in Cathlamet, was given a preview of this great device by C-Dawg. For those who do not have their kicker hardwired to the helm in the cabin and do any trolling, this is a great improvement. I got home, called the mfg, www.troll-masterpro.com , placed my order and just...

For those who live near a West Marine, as I do, I have learned a few things in my recent project. West Marine will match any regular price for the same item so long as they can verify the price. They also offer some additional advantages, such as free shipping and easy no fee return and in one...

Well, after jumping at the great deal for the V-1, I decided to go with a Delta 14 anchor and this required replacing the bow roller. I tried the Lewmar two roller model ending in 08 designed for the delta and this did not move the anchor out far enough so I could locate the windless just off...

As Capital Sea attempts to select the utopian two weeks for our trip in Northern waters later this year a substantial consideration involves the timing in terms of food we can find along the way. My understanding is that crab are easy regardless of where in the 6-8th month we are. Is the same...

My Honda 90 is one year old and the 3 blade Aluminium 13.5 X 15 R prop which came with the new boat and motor has proven to be a good fit. I am planning to purchase a backup prop to have on board for some future remote trips and as long as I am at it, thought I would upgrade to stainless and...

Kathleen and I are planning a trip for 16 days, north of the border for the this summer. For those of you who have done this before, we are looking for some advice in the following areas. The boat is new and well equipped. Power is via a Honda 90 +9.9. We have dual batteries. I will add a second...

My hope in posting this new topic is to gain a better understanding of where the fish are and how they are being taken. I intend to spend some time out there over the next days, weeks, months and hope to join with others in an exchange of information.

I have noted Q&A about 06 and pre 06 cruiser's with two bilge pumps but have seen very little about backup or 2nd bilge pumps on 22's with only one standard pump. I have a house battery, and a fused outlet for the cockpit (used for shrimp puller power). My desire is to have a means to extract...

As a new owner, I am activly involved in rigging the boat for years of use. I have two issues which I could use help with. First is the cave and fog effect. Granted my first outings have been in near freezing conditions but humidity is an ongoing issue here in the NW and squegee use every 5 mins...
