Tom and I are wanting to tow our dory to southern Arizona and down to Puerto Penasco Mexico. We have Progressive insurance, which doesn't cover us across the border. We're looking for an insurance policy for Mexico that covers for damage not just liability, for truck, trailer and boat — both on...

I now have a Mercury 115 Command Thrust motor on order for my 22 Cruiser. I’m wondering what is a good prop size to use? Thanks, Tom

I'm looking to re-power my 22 cruiser, and see that the Honda 100 is the same weight as the 90. I would like the extra power of the 100, but I'm not sure if there will be any noticeable advantage in getting the boat to plane more easily compared to the 90 when the boat is heavy? I don't...

I decided to research recreational trap pullers in the $500-600 range that could be used for both prawns or crab. We have been manually/womanly (Rene is often primary puller on our crabbing trips), and this can be tiresome. I primarily focused on two units: The "Ace Line Hauler Brutus plus 40"...

I use a couple of these boat dryers through the winter to control cabin moisture. They have an aluminum housing with holes for circulation, and inside a fan/motor, and small heating element that uses ~ 90 Watts. They have been very effective for me, though eventually they get noisy, or quit...

Tired of the hands and knees drill of sponge transfer to dry the aft bilge, I discovered a small manual pump at Harbor Freight that may prove to be handy, item #66418, called a Multi-use Transfer Pump. I attached the "pick up" hose that came with the mini to the stern bilge pump in a vertical...

I'm considering a Lowrance HDS10. It has a 10.4" diagonal screen size. Using a tape measure at the store it measured 8 7/8" wide, 12 1/8" long and 3 1/2'' deep. I made a mock up out of cardboard, and looks like it may fit, but I'm not sure of what mount will be substantial and will work with the...

Our stove was back drafting exhaust into the cabin yesterday. I called Scan and Doug suggested it was a combo. of boat speed and or wind. I agreed that I was in quite windy conditions. He suggested a cowl vent placed at the front edge of the exhaust opening would solve the problem. He said to...

Our 99 boat came with a new Wallas 95DU which worked well initially but has been unreliable in recent years. We use it occasionally throughout the year and for a few weeks we use it daily, from 4 to 9 hours a day. We have used clean fuel and have serviced the stove ourselves until recently when...

On remote and weekend trips alike, we depend on our Wallas to keep us warm and cook our food. While we also take a back-up backpacking stove and mini propane heater, we would rather be using the Wallas. We needed to get over our fear of some of the basic maintenance issues. Here is a record of...

We sent a message to Pete on Adeline and he suggested we post the conversation for everyone. So here's our message plus his answer: Just returned from a week of boating and though it didn't totally fail, I'm having problems with the Wallas. It was real mind rot. To start I always had to have...

I have a 99 , 22'CD cruiser. I bought it as a new demo., in 99 at Sportcraft Marina in Portland. It came with a new 1997 Honda 90.The prop.it came with is a mercury 13 1/4 diam. x 17pitch.They said this size was best and the next size being the 13 1/2 x 15 (Honda) would be too much of a work...
