Camano performance I have a 2001 Camano with same setup. I have the exact performance figures on my engine. I've read that the Volvo should get to 3900 rpm I've never seen higher than 3650 rpm. I was getting ready to pull my injectors and check them until i read your post. I'll run 3100-3200...

I went from a bay hen 21 sailboat to my Camano 31. I didn't have to have training for 1mil liability and 100k replacement value. I did a Captain Ron and told them my experience helming a 425' submarine and was a boat coxswain on the oil spill team in Pearl Harbor.

I purchased a pair of ariel rider m-class e-bikes for our trip from Racine, WI to Deltaville, VA. We put a little over 300 miles on them they ran flawless. They are all aluminum compact frame 20" wheels. They are non folding. I had one flat tire when I nailed a pot hole at 20mph. We stored them...

We gave sherman 1/2 a 25mg dramamine and he was fine after that, he weighs about 9lbs, we put turf in the cockpit for him, he would do #1 but no #2

Racine to Buffalo updates Hi all, Well, we took possession of Sea Gull on 15 Jun 2021 planned to cruise south in baby steps to get used to the boat after 2 weeks of shakedown cruises. We ended up leaving Racine on 15 July we had a few minor maintenance issues and a couple of repairs before we...

Looks like they put me in slip E4-34. I am excited about the bow thruster I never used one before. I used to struggle in the current of Ashley River in Charleston with my sailboat, it had transom hung barn door rudder but would refuse to turn.

AIS receiver and chart plotter is on my top list when I get to the boat.. The electronics on the Camano are from 2001. I plan a full electronic refit next year. We plan to marina hop along michigan and do day runs, I promised my wife I wouldn't leave sight of land. We'll probably spend more time...

Was that a 100 nautical mile run, pretty impressive. If I can get good weather I would hope to push the camano to 12 kn on some runs. Talking to previous camano owners they average 70 nm per day.

I'm not sure on the 4-53 I only rebuilt a couple of them and ran a few for pumps but on the 6-71 we would run them straight for days or weeks at a time and check the oil level hourly while running and just made sure we had a reading on the dipstick, we were more concerned about fuel dilution if...

You guy's are good at reading between the lines on how to keep a spouse happy. When we met I was in the Navy living on an old wooden sailboat in Charleston Sc she still remembers the huge microburst we took and laid the boat on its ear, water came flooding in until the the boat rounded up...

Wow, thanks for that info I had to write it down in pencil and follow on the waterway guide and Google maps

I'll have to take another look at the northern route I just discounted b/c of the covid restrictions.

George, She will be there with me. I hope to teach her some docking and weather permitting we will go out every day we can for the two weeks at Reefpoint Marina. I'll need the docking training also on the new to me boat. If she's not comfortable we might stay on Lake Michigan all summer and try...

I purchased loopers companion guide, great lakes waterway guide and richardsons charts for the Great Lakes. I put navionics on my phone but my phone is too small or my fingers are too big to try to plot anything. I'll buy a tablet soon to practice. The electronics on the boat are from 2001 they...

It's in Racine in inside storage, we are planning to cruise to Deltaville Va. this summer leaving Racine mid June. We are currently living near Las Vegas Nv. and plan to relocate to Virginia or North Carolina. If we don't leave Racine this year we plan to circumnavigate Lake Michigan this summer...

Hi all, I'm pre planning a cruise and not sure how long it will take. I closed on a new to me Camano 31 a couple of months ago and in pre planning stage. I need to make this cruise fun and successful as possible so I don't want to push too hard or go to fast. My question is how long will it take...
