It appears that all of the new broadband radar products are designed to be used with a multifunction display. Does anyone know of a small, stand alone radar that would give us some confidence in the fog or on moonless nights. In situations such as these I wouldn't be going more than hull speed...
:smt100 I have sinned :smt021 I sold our Sea Ray:smt089 And then I sinned again:smt021, I bought a Campion:smt021 I now beg you not to cast me out before you hear me out.
Health issues have recently made it very difficult for me to care for and operate the 240. I'm very lucky to live in an...
Is it just me being a grumpy, cynical, old man, or is this a bit much? I personally don't think we have the right to subject animals to our mind altering substances. http://www.castanet.net/edition/news-story-135394-5-.htm#135394
A few pics of today for all of you who are inundated with that lousy white stuff and freezing temperatures;
The days starts with a loaf of fresh baked spelt bread,
Not sunny and hot but nice enough to be on the water
You can still see the snow in the hills but we've got the whole place to...

This is what I'm lookin' at for a boat to keep at the coast and to do some boaterhoming and island hopping with. Need to know if anyone knows anyone who has one and if so, how seaworthy are they? Hope to be doing inside passage, Broughtons, and...
I recently read on the forum that some of the larger Sea Rays use cored hulls. Up until now I've personally avoided boats with cored hulls like the plague. Have I been wrong all these years? In MY mind, rot in a cored hull would be very difficult to diagnose if PO had done a good job of the...
This took a few seconds to load but it was worth the wait. Can't believe the clarity of the ice on this lake. Looks cleaner than our drinking water. Hope no one's posted this already...
We've been having lots of trouble with the aftermarket gauges that the PO had installed and I've decided to change them back to as close to original as possible. We've had Faria gauges in most of our boats and haven't experienced any abnormal problems with them but, some people say they're not...
Picked up my new bilge heater today:smt038. Again I queried the low price of $137.00 when all the others in North America are $500.00 plus :huh:. I was reassured that it was in fact a bilge heater and not to worry about it.:thumbsup: I threw it in the back of my service truck and finished my...
I know this will spark the usual "are you a retread?" comments but I want to hear the input. We have been blessed with an arctic flow that will give us temperatures in the -13C (+8F) range. I purchased a household type oil circulating radiant heater from HD yesterday and plan on putting it in...
For a few days now I've been unable to edit my posts. I can click on "edit post" and it will allow me to make the changes or additions, but it doesn't have the "save" choice to click on when I'm finished.
For normal people this probably wouldn't be an issue,,,,,,, but this is ME. My seplling...
I can't find any reference to this in the manual. I'm not having problems, just learning how everything works on the EFI gas engines. My manual is from '97 but the boat's a '00. I figured the TBI system should be the same though.
1) is there a fuel filter inside the cool fuel module that needs to be changed when the water/fuel separator is changed? My manual doesn't mention anything about it but the internet exploded views all show one inside the CF module.
2) I've read raves about the "Racor" water seperators. Are...
All the fair weather boaters are starting to haul out now. Lots of empty spots.
Mid afternoon rainbow, without the rain.
Startin' to think about next year's family eh?
Fuel dock's closed. Poison summer has gone.
Another lonely winter for this 'ol girl. I go over there regularly to...
45 degrees, overcast, calm, light fog, 0900 hours
Fall colors an' desolate beaches
Everyone's gone home :smt009
Eagle at the river mouth waiting for the Kokanee to start running
Got the whole lake to themselves,,,, almost.
Winterizing is underway
For many years I've winterized my boats by draining; the leg, the block, the risers, and the cool fuel, and then disconnecting and draining the raw water side of the heat exchanger as well as the power steering cooler. After reading all the internet "advice" there is out there and after talking...
I'm feeling somewhat of a "big baby" here as a couple of the guys who have experienced hernias were able to work right up until the day of their surgeries. In hind sight this has been coming on for a few months now but lately it's been getting really hard to get around and darn near impossible...
