    Aluminum diesel dory

    I have nothing to do with this boat, but was just browsing around and thought there might be someone on here who would have their ears pinned back with this one: http://alaskaboatbrokers.com/listings_detail.php?id=309

    young child's immersion suit

    I am looking for an immersion suit for my toddler. The only thing I've found must be imported and costs over $800. This suit works for kids 26-51 lbs, and there is an insert that can be used with smaller kids/infants: https://www.scandiagear.com/products/li ... it-sc-aayc I cannot seem to find...

    Sliding door on a 22?

    Has anyone ever converted their 22 to a sliding door? I can think of lots of advantages and very few disadvantages. I'd love to hear about any conversions. It seems like the door swing takes up more space on the cockpit than necessary, and keeps you from installing anything on the bulkead...

    installing a mercury smartcraft tachometer

    I am wiring up a new jet boat and have a mercury 60/40 factory jet outboard. I purchased the sc1000 smartcraft tachometer and have it installed in the dash. I cannot, however, figure out how to connect the wiring harness. The harness that comes out of the control box is the exact same as...

    kedge/admiralty anchors

    I'm looking at getting a couple ~20 lb collapsable kedge anchors to have as second/backup, as well as holding down my subsistence halibut longline gear (I fish anywhere from 30 to 90 hooks). I am interested in anyone's experience using these, especially on a CD22. I thought about putting...

    house battery not charging

    I have a mini ACR, and have discovered a very new anxiety!! My start battery is charging and isolating just fine, but my house battery is not charging at all. I've verified this with meters to each battery while charging via alternator, and with the motor off. This is new! Just happened...

    Source for 1.5" thick end grain balsa sheets?

    All I can find around is 3/4" and I'd rather have full thickness than laminate two sheets together.

    CO Detector

    I have two boats at work that are rigged with CO detectors straight to the battery. These draw enough amperage to be a hassle in this configuration. I see no reason why they need to be wired this way when we seldom use the heaters, and the heaters on these boats require the electronics system...

    Frontriggers!!!

    I fish halibut more than anything, and have been content to fish 3 rods from my 22 Crusier, even if I had more anglers on board. It just ends up getting lines fouled and lots of trouble if you go for more. But yesterday I took 3 other guys fishing and I set up the cockpit with a rod off...

    Lewmar Pro Fish woes

    The first thing I did when I got my boat was install a windlass. I wish now that I had just installed the line puller that is on its way to me and skipped the whole windlass. Aside from putting rode into the anchor locker, it isn't very helpful. I have the proper rode/chain for my windlass...

    The joys of a balanced boat!!!

    Oh man! I'm getting to know my boat again after some upgrades, and adjustments and although the changes were very great in and of themselves, the culmination in a well balanced boat is just wonderful. Until this spring I had a kicker motor waaaay to starboard with my one and only battery in...

    Help installing mini acr

    I'm trying to get a very poor setup improved which consisted of a single battery with waaaaay too many wires attached to it. I have the + side wired, but the - side is puzzling. It wants a bus that does not come with it. I did get a two sided bus for the gear wired straight to the battery that...

    downrigger setup

    I like to fish the bottom, but I grew up trolling the surface for bass, and I'm getting more into trolling with downriggers. My boat came with downriggers and I've used them a handful of times, but I am having some trouble figuring out my setup. The previous owner didn't really use the...

    Simrad Drivepilot vs Lowrance

    Following the Lowrance Outboard Pilot's less than efficient release and related problems and bugs coming of age, Simrad seems to have a very similar product out now that is a slightly better version of the Lowrance system. It seems that the only difference is the heading sensor being upgraded...

    lemonade, OR adding a sump near the bulkhead, core repair

    I'm in it now, past the point of no return. I've drilled through the inner skin on my hull (deck) and removed quite a bit of rotten balsa from about 2-3" in each direction. Most of the rot is contained, but this area has multiple screw penetrations through the inner skin to service the bilge...

    heater fuel tank on radar arch?

    I have a gravity fed heater, and like that it uses no power, but it's mounted low and in my cabinet, and I'd like it out in the open, but don't want the electrical draw associated with a fuel pump. Has anyone ever put a small tank on their roof? I'm thinking about one on a radar arch, and...

    Windshield Wiper auto/manual install

    I thought I was very smart, but now, not so much. I have a single motorized wiper in front of my helm. It's the older style, one speed, stainless housing, you know the one. I have it installed so that the motor rotates a bit as the wiper hits the end of the windshield. This has worked well...

    Sonar log export and mapping software?

    Hello, I occasionally do hydroacoustic mapping, and have been using my Lowrance unit (HDS gen2) lately and like it. I also have a humminbird sidescan unit. I don't do much mapping without sidescan any longer. I'm interested in whether anyone has any experience with software that can take my...
