I'd say the reason you can't raise the marina is your choice of channels. I know that it is different in other areas but in south west coastal British Columbia marinas are on 66A and aren't allowed to use any other channels. Anyone calling a marina on 09 or 16 is not going to get any marina in...

Charts show depth contours with a few spot depths as filler. As long as the depth on your sounder falls between the values of the contours I'd say that the charted depth is correct. The spot soundings aren't necessarily showing high, low, or average depths. They show the depth at that spot and...

Perfect example of "Right way, wrong way, or it has always worked for you for the past 20 years." Just because you have experience with one piece of equipment and it works for you, doesn't mean that another way, that you can't get to work, is wrong or impossible. Long before every ski boat...

Something that I had never heard of before, is checking the oil with the engine still running. My Perkins manual says you can check the oil while still running, but only at 1000 rpm or less. I'm not sure how the level would be different on the dip stick between running and stopped, but I'm sure...

If you are just going to change the bulbs, there are bulbs made for the port and starboard replacement. A white LED bulb in the coloured lens WILL NOT emit the proper light. I don't know why, it has something to do with physics, science and that sort of thing. The proper LED bulbs emits green...

Yes, Canadian modifications. Rule 40 Not universally required but "where practicable". Not required in daylight conditions with low traffic and good weather. Not required in areas where radar isn't used for navigation. My take on that is, it is required in most tidal water boating areas on...

Is it just a Canadian modification of the Collision Regs or what? Radar reflectors are required by the colregs. Yes, there are exceptions, but I've seen 25 foot aluminum crew boats that didn't show up until within a mile because they were aligned at the wrong angle to reflect back. 14 foot...

Width 10.5 feet. Call it 10 feet at the waterline. Yes, turns pretty flat. I don't recall it leaning on a turn but also wasn't going fast very often. (Fast? 14 knots) generally the only time I went much over hull speed was in rough water to take advantage of the dynamic stability.The boat...

I had photos of the CH bottom, keel, hull etc. BUT, that was on a different phone. The one that went swimming. NB: CH 31 is only 31 feet for bragging rights. Hull overall is 28. Advertising ploy to include the length of the ss anchor roller and the swim platform bolsters the owners ego...

[emoji106] don't you love the cellar stairs? And the cellar too, for that matter.

Another wood conversion to share. https://rickschnurr.wixsite.com/juliemay

And right across the dock from this is the 48 foot Coast Ranger. Ex BC Forest Service boat. Recently underwent some plank replacement. Sorry, can't find a link to a current for sale ad right now but there are a couple expired ones out there. Why do you want wood? Because it is better than...

Smaller so less area to clean and closer so easier to clean, both inside and out.

What Hopcar says! Nobody has heard of a 36 v anything. My bet is you have 8 volt batteries in series, making 32 nominal voltage. Probably charges at 36 v similar to 12 v charges at about 14 v.

Bought some road diesel for my truck last week, $1.49 Cdn per litre equals just over $4.38 US per US gallon. I don't know what marina pump price is right now, usually higher.

ASD, I have S10 something phone gizmo. When I start typing there is a line above the keyboard that has a pictogram of a sprocket. That is the settings menu button. In the first few items after selecting this are options for spellchecker and predictive typing. Once I am actually typing this...

Many years ago, maybe 1973 or 74, I was privileged to see Tlinglit up close. I didn't realize it had an Easthope. It was fairly speedy and had almost no wake. I think Mr Garden was in it and yes, I recall it was specifically to commute to one of the little gulf islands in all conditions. I had...

900 miles? From the Diomede Islands, at the north edge of the Bearing Sea and through the Canadian arctic archipelago that is considered to be the Northwest Passage, to the south end of Greenland, is about 3000 nautical miles. Where does this 900 mile distance come from?

Any of you trawlers old enough to remember Popular Mechanics magazines? Back through the 1950's in the adverts there were carburetors and add-ons that you could buy to inject water into your car engine. Guy I knew, dead of old age decades ago, claims to have designed some of these. We laughed...

Yes, that looks like the definitive regulation but it certainly wasn't what I had been reading. What I read was a notice of some sort, no line numbers and article numbers, rather sentences and paragraphs. Thanks for finding this. GS

Size and the term "passengers" are taken right from a government of Canada document online. The type of vessel was either "non commercial " or "recreational", I don't recall which but it definitely referred to a pleasure boat, NOT a commercial boat. Read this the night before I posted while I...

Awesome. Wife and myself visited one of these 20 - 25 years ago in Genoa Bay. Fellow was living on it, she was named Uijongbu(spelling), painted bright red. Gorgeous, impressed with the layout. I've been in love ever since. Could never find where it got to. I asked around and was told Camano...
