I would not buy a Detroit 8.2, long history of problems.

About three years ago 5 guys rode jet skis from Washington to Sitka in just a few days time. No need for a dinghy.

Another vote for Wilson electronics, also use a delorme, better and cheaper then sat phone

In Juneau, Alaska. Ask is $69,500 Alaska boat brokers.

Straight flush always beats a full house.

Hitting hard enough to kill the engine is not good. You may wish to also check motor mounts and shaft alignment. Good luck, wish you the best.

We have used troll valves and dragging chutes on prior boats. Our current boat pulls chutes. They are secured from the bow cleat area and drag back to about midship. The trip line off the aft of the chutes is secured near the aft fishing deck. This arrangements keeps the chutes away from the...

We very much enjoy the upper helm on our Eagle 32.

Great place for bear hunting.

Willy, must be a SE Alaska thing, common here.

Our SP 135 has 4000 hours and running the original alternator and belt (28 years). I run the belt just a tad loose and it reduces the wear in the belt and the alternator bearings and still does a great job of charging the batteries. I will probably replace the belt this spring.

In the game of potty poker it appears that a straight flush always beats a full house.

Moved a 36 foot boat from Florida to Bellingham. No problem.

ComNav and forget it

Another vote for Marinebeam.

I had a friend that carried his rope anchor rode in a basket on the fore deck. In a heavy sea the rode when over the side and was caught in the prop. Unfortunately the boat was near a clif face and drifted into the cliff. My friend died but his two passengers survived. Every time I see a rode...

It would be fun to enjoy the 4th in Wrangell. Unfortunately we will not due to a family reunion every 4th in Sitka. If TF pulls together an event in Sitka I would be pleased to assist in being a host. Ken

I believe I may have seen you in Sitka in the past. Correct?

If you make it around to the outside to Sitka give us a shout.

I have used a 33 and 66 Bruse with all chain. Both found the infamous Bruce rock and failed to hold even in almost calm conditions. Congrats on a great video!

Be sure it has a Delta anchor.

Many years ago I read in National Fisherman magazine that New England lobster fishermen were painting their buoys with wrought iron furniture paint because nothing would grow on it. The ingredients of the paint has some similarities to the band tributal tin bottom paint that worked so well.

I have installed these on a lobster boat. I worked with Evolution Marine to engineer the right mounts. I highly recommend them, they can engineer and provide what you need. The customer will need to provide detailed vessel and drive system information.

Ken, Rocky Pass is better marked then a few years ago. Most modern GPS equipment also lays a track in the pass. A few years ago I was surprised to see the Grand Banks mother goose parade in the pass. They made it through without a problem. Agree, good idea to speak with folks in Kake. I have had...

Ken, I just notice the your boat is twin screw. You may not want to do the pass.
