When I learned that Engineers Day was on June 26, 2009, (I have buddies that say this is very worthwhile). And that the Boat Nerds were gonna be there go here and then to calendar of events and that wonderful Kemp marina takes reservations reservations I made my reservation for...

I recently asked Rick and Donna about their curtains on Foggy Dew. They graciously answered and put up some additional photos of their cabin curtains in the Foggy Dew album, in the projects sub-album. I like the idea that the curtains they are self stored at the top of the windows and don't...

Returned to Michigan after twelve days and eleven nights on the river. Wow, what a beautiful piece of country. I am tired from compressing two day return trip into one and promise and threaten to give updates on how perfectly my 22 cruiser behaved and what a good time I had and how magnificent...

I will be cruising the Miss. River from Hastings, MN beginning 9/16 or 9/17. Will go downriver for a week and then return. Likely will detour a day on the St. Croix right at the start. I wouldn't mind getting as far as Dubuque to check out the museum and aquarium there but that may be a bit...

Just returned from a week long cruise in Northern Lake Michigan. Over 300 miles, two long crossings of seventy plus miles. Had good weather. On one 90 mile day it was so calm there wasn't even a ripple for half the trip. On that stretch I did just over 5 (statute) mpg. Visited Charlevoix...

Check out the two nice portlights Rollie has added to C-Batical! Porthole photos Some of the C-Ranger folks will be taking a second look at the 22 Cruiser now. Regards,

Okay got your attention? A note from Sea Wolf (Joe) in another discussion prompts me to ask a question I have been thinking about. I am frequently single handing (with my 50 lb dog). I find that during the day I store gear on the port side to balance the boat. Clothes and some gear I keep in...

I was sort of surprised that my Honda gauges do not have lights. I like to see the trim indicators and tachs at night. Since I am wiring a fan, some red LED lights for the cabin and etc., I thought I should add an instrument light. I propose to add a single red led light on a flexible stalk and...

I have a carbon monoxide detector to install on my CD 22. (After all I could be berthed next to someone running Yamahas or perhaps there could be a Dodge idling away on shore). :D I intend to mount it on the underside of the electronics shelf. I understand they should generally be mounted...

Although pretty new, I don't like the way the dealer set up the batteries, etc., so I will be redoing some rewiring in Not For Hire this spring. Presently she has two batteries, one for each 40 hp. I will be adding a third battery for the house. She also has two 1-2-all-off battery switches. I...

While on the Torch River in Northern Michigan came across the following houseboat. I think it is up from Southern Waters? Maybe Freebyrd's neck of the woods?

Three weeks ago I did complete fill up on both tanks for first time. Did not overfill tanks, no gas burped out or came out vent. About an inch of space left in the front of the tanks. Then launched boat and without starting engines moved it to a spot in the marina for overnight. Next am there...

I asked Jeff at the factory about radar arches. He said the factory offers a low model with built in rocket launchers for $999.00 and a taller model (a dingy will go under but no rocket launchers) for $890.00. Seems the price has gone up lately, yet these may still be a fair bargain. Does anyone...

New 22 in my backyard for two weeks. Equipping and outfitting. Installed two nylon boards (similar to starboard) on transom and mounted transducer-temp-speed sensors. Worked on galley shelves. Tuesday it was 80 degrees and I put the boat name and numbers on. I replaced phillips machine screws...

I have a new 22 Cruiser and will be mounting some electronics soon. I anticipate mounting two transducers on the transom along with paddlewheels and temp sensors. (My current boat, which is for sale, actually has three). The fishfinders give different information and when traveling some rivers...
