With your help I figured out that a mmsi number has not been installed...:) No resetting needed, sent away for my own MMSI number. Hopefully I will be up and running in a week Leon :smilep

I am not sure if that radio has had a mmsi number installed......... how would I check. Thank you Leon

hi........ used boat, used radio, bought a handheld portable radio, I have not got a MMSI number for the portable yet. I would like to know what the mmsi number is on my Standard Horizon Eclipse DSC+ GX1150 is. The person I bought the boat from wasn't getting another boat, so I might use that...

Hi, last minute might make it.....but Can someone send me all the updated information Times, places, hotels etc... Just trying to figure out how to do it all, either fly into Seattle, or Rent a car and drive up from Vancouver. Thank you Leon

I just ran across a produce that converts your cell phone into a Satellite phone. It is out of Britain, and I just sent away for information. I would like to know the cost of buying it, and the cost of using it. There are a lot of places on the north west coast with no cell phone or no VHF. If...

Well I sort of got lucky, I found online a combination boat hook, gaff, and scrub brush which I ordered they are interchangeable, and screw in. I will see if I can find someone to make a harpoon shaft for it. I don't like the idea of having a gun on board to dispatch a halibut, too many things...

yea........Masset has a population of 884 in 2011 and the total population of Haida Gwaii 4761, one person to around 3/4 of a square mile......very crowded place. I really hope you enjoy your trip, I am thinking about doing that in another year or so, but either boating over from Prince Rupert...

and I might be interested in relieving you of the swim step, I am thinking about installing one on my 23ft venture...

Water should dilute the alcohol and put out the fire, that is suppose to be one of the good points of using alcohol stoves on a boat.

Well...........you could leave it at my place in Terrace BC, but that is a tiny bit over a 100 miles from Prince Rupert. Or you could launch from Kitimat BC, and that would be around 45 miles to Terrace, but Kitimat would add around 150 miles to your alaska trip. Not sure how you would get back...

Thank you, I sent an email off to the boat dealer, hoping they reply on the matter of battery switches etc.... next time I get a chance I will check out my chartplotter. Leon

Hi Bought a 2011 23ft Venture C-Dory in St John's Nfl, and hauled it all the way across Canada to Terrace BC. It is in storage right now, hoping to retire next year and make a lot of uses out of it. Right now I am at work a 1000 miles from where it is stored. And I am going to research it to...

Do a big circle and watch your gps speed to see if it changes in tidle waters. I had better luck trolling at 5.5 mph. Something like backing away slowly from a bear versus running. The strike on instinct

Thanks Harvey, bought a little Toyota Tacoma and hauled it all the way back to Terrace BC. My retirement toy, hoping to start using it full time next year, working on a bunch of little things on it. Leon

Bought!

Sorry Bob ....the prop runs parallel to the bottom of the boat, it is a constant. On a perfect plane, on smooth water the bow will be slightly higher, and the motor with be a bit forward to the water. if you make the motor parallel to the water, you will be moving it back and a up, it will...

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D looking good for me.... :D :D :D :D :D

Trimming your boat out means two things, one, the least amount of drag in the water so you get the most out of your fuel, and two, a smooth or stand able ride. Bring your boat up on plane, set the throttle, wait a bit till your boat is up to speed. Now watch both your speed and engine rpm...

My better half had a close encounter with a bear as she was getting out of her car to go fly fishing, her being a excellent shot managed to dispatch the bear with a very hard throw of her car keys. My close encounter, I was sitting on a log in the middle of a trail resting when I seen a black...
