    Upstream into the Tenn-Tom???

    Well, we are knee deep into it and have to say that the river has been less than we hoped for. People along the way are great. Once you see a mile of the river you've seen it all

    Autopilot control head- upper helm or lower?

    And count me as one who steers as much as possible with the AP not the wheel. It can hold a line much better than I can.

    Autopilot control head- upper helm or lower?

    Barking Sands - I have the same Garmin equipment with main AP control head at Lower helm. Control AP through the MFD at upper. I can ALMOST fully control the AP from the upper. The one thing I cannot do, or haven't figured out how to do is this: while following a course where the AP follows...

    Weber Q question

    My home Weber did something similar but only if the flame control knob is opened before the tank valve is opened, or maybe for you, before the small can of gas is attached. The solution is easy- make sure all knobs are in OFF before the propane can is attached or turned on.

    Upstream into the Tenn-Tom???

    Yes. Locks closing is a big issue. Thanks for clarifying that going against the current is not a show-stopper.

    Upstream into the Tenn-Tom???

    We are thinking about heading upstream from Mobile Bay into the Tenn-Tom and perhaps further. Two reasons: 1) to explore that water and the sights along the way and 2) to escape the gulf coast during hurricane season. In fact, the thought is to head out if there is a hurricane projected to...

    Camano Owners: Where Did They Hide The Windlass Solenoid

    My Maxwell Freedom 500 windlass just stopped working. I measured less than 4v across the motor terminals. I hear the Solenoid clicking but I can't find it. I'm not even sure what it looks like. Any help finding it will be appreciated.

    Fuel Sender Access on Camano Troll

    Hi all 2001 Camano Troll with port and stbd fuel tanks but not an operating fuel gage. Did my testing to confirm the problem is bad fuel sensors. Here's my problem. I see no access ports in the carpeting through the decking to access the senders. From below I see no access holes and there...

    Barnacle Buster-Magic Elixir

    FlyWright- found this old thread on BB. Am I correct that you flushed the raw water side using that cheapo pump and without running your engine? And you circulated the BB back into the bucket rather than just out the exhaust? Could one just circulate it long enough to fill the entire raw...

    Who Knows The Secret To These Things

    They won't stay in. I push them through and they fall in the water. So, what's the secret to putting these screens into these port lights?

    Purchasing a boat in Florida: sales taxes

    Just went thru this. If the sale is in Florida but the boat is leaving Florida there is no sales tax due. Florida gives you 10 days to leave Florida after the sale. Longer if repairs are being made. Florida is lenient on that 10 days but wants actual proof that you left. If the boat...

    Gulf ICW advice

    Just made most of that trip. I found the waterway guide to be very wrong and outdated in many respects. There is also a lot of fluff in it that would not help to plan a trip. I found Skipper Bob's book very helpful when I came down the Atlantic ICW a few years ago.

    Camano Owners: Access to Fuel Senders

    My fuel gages read empty all the time. Watched a few UTube videos on the repair and headed to the boat for a reasonably quick fix. Well, boat-reality hit me pretty quick when I went below to catch a glimpse of where the senders are located. Both are in the far aft corners of the cabin. The...
