    More Honda corrosion problems in my BF-200

    My BF-200 was cutting out and coming to a stall whenever I exceeded 4000 rpm. Turns out the problem was that the corrosion was so bad where the cables and fuel line entered the motor, the fuel supply was getting choked off by the corrosion buildup. If I stayed below 4000 rpm the motor ran fine...

    Corrosion on BF200

    Should have listened to Les. Les said to get the ETEC. If someone can post the picture from my album to this post please do so. If that can't be done you can go to my album and look at the last picture. In the area of the corrosion there is a brass bushing in a rubber sleeve around the...

    Sailboats in a marina.

    I went by Shilshore Marina with hundreds of tied up sailboats yesterday and thought, it sure would be crowded out on the water if people actually used their sailboats. Most of the time that I do see a sailboat out and about, they are under power with their kicker motors rather than sailing...

    Slot at end south jetty, Westport.

    I'm not saying that this is the best place to go through. I'm not saying you won't ground out. I pushed the waypoint button on both sides where I go through. These are the first waypoints that I have taken down while passing through. I have always gone through by dead reckoning and have never...

    Slot on south jetty at Westport

    I had two bad ebbs last week and the bar had standing breaking waves so I crossed the sunken jetty at the end of the south jetty. There really isn't a 'slot' but there is an area of calm water between the end of the south jetty and waves breaking over the sunken jetty. The calm area appears to...

    Fred Olness and Carmalita to the rescue

    Here is a video of a fishing trip 3 of us made at Westport, while heading west to catch big fish. About 12-15 miles out we came upon a capsized boat with 4 guys hanging on. They had been fishing and took on water, then capsized. They had called out a MAYDAY, but were unable to give their...

    Mooring buoys

    Does anyone know the law concerning mooring buoys? I'm not asking about the ones in state parks but the other ones dotting the shores of Puget Sound. They are private buoys but they are located on public water. My wife asked me if anyone could tie to them and I didn't have an answer. I know when...

    Airmar 260 Transducer

    Has anyone installed an Airmar 260, 1000 watt transom mount transducer on their boat? If you have, how much did it act like trim tab. I have it mounted on a board and clamped to the transom on the port side. I would like to keep it on the port side since that is the heaviest side of the boat...

    Fuel Tank Corrosion on Cape Cruiser

    I pulled my fuel tanks because I wanted to raise them up to allow the fish blood to wash out to the sump pump better. It really gets to stinking under the tanks during the fishing season. As you can see from the pictures that I posted in my album, Cape Cruiser installed a diagonal raised strip...

    1997 C-Dory Brochure

    I was going through some of my old Canadian brochures to give to a Puget Sound Angler club member who is planning a trip to Vancouver Island and came across a 1997 four page glossy factory color brochure for the 22' Angler/ Cruiser with a Sportcraft Marina business card stapled to it. It lists...

    Last Time

    That I'm going to post my fuel numbers. I must say that I'm darned tickled with them. I went by boat from Olympia to E Q Harbor Services on Cornet Bay for service on the main and kicker. EQ was the ones who installed the motors. I am 100% satisfied with the installation and the service that EQ...

    Salvage Rights

    I have been taking a Coast Guard Auxiliary class and maritime salvage rights have came up in class discussion. The instructor stated that a fireman putting out a dock fire untied an adjacent boat so it wouldn't be damaged. The fireman handed the lines to a bystander to hold the boat. The...
