Two pirates killed, thirteen arrested. There should have been no surviving pirates.

No court appearance necessary! *

SteveI haven't bought one for two years, and find they have gone up. I got mine from Rasmussen's Marine Electonics here in Bellingham, but I see that Fisheries Supply http://www.fisheriessupply.com/ has them for $24. They are made by Sea Dog. The only difference is the glass lense. The old ones...

Welcome JouleIs that a 28' or 30' Commander? Great boat. I assume you are in BC. Where abouts? *

SteveI have the same lighting, and have been replacing them one at a time as they fail. I think I have two more to do. Following my focus on keeping life simple, I have simply bought identical replacements. I think they have been about $20 each. Maybe I'll try your way on the next two. Either...

Going to the depths of my warm and fuzzy side with regards to pirates, I must insist their boats be burned and their corpses fed to the sharks. Instananeously. 5 minute trial at sea and we're done.

Especially my gray Bullfrog.* *

Well that spoils all my fun. I guess if you were in Bellingham Bay instead of that mill pond in New Jersey, you'd know how dangerous it was all the time, totally unpredictable conditions out there. I read a book once where a whale attacked a ship, so I keep a sharp lookout for them now too...

Look around the marina, but I would lean toward 4" to 6". The last thing you want is any chance for it to flap around in the breeze. *

A heavy weight, known as a Kedge or Kellet is attached to the single eyelet, allowing the Kedge to hang below as the bronze aparatus slides down the rode. The curve allows it to slide easilty going down and back. The weight acts to add catenary and create a shallower angle of attack for the...

I have to ask. Why would you buy a Porta Boat if your intention is to leave it assembled on the swim step? IMHO there is not an uglier dinghy available. Sorry!! If you had need to fold it and put it on deck, then I might forgive you, but... * *

Welcome Rusty. That's a beautiful boat. I saw her up in Princess Cove, Wallace Island about eight years ago. -- Edited by Carey on Monday 21st of February 2011 12:02:39 AM

I failed to mention in my previous post, that my electrician convinced me to add the shaft brush many years ago. It may seem like overkill, but I now have the acorn on the tail, a shaft zinc about a foot up the shaft, and just inside the engine room is the spring loaded brush, which is tied into...

Thanks KJ. You painted a good enough picture to make me want to slip the lines. At full cruise, I can be in Victoria in 4.5 hours, but we still don't get there often enough for me. If you make it back there, drop me a line, and I'll give you directions to the best kept secret restaurant in town...

JohnPIf you were referring to my question as a disclaimer, it was not meant to be. It's just that Jay said he had always used teflon tape and never had a leak. He did not say specifically that he had used it on diesel connections. I am a believer in the tape myself, but never having used it on...

Just double checking. You have used teflon tape on diesel fuel connections??? *

Eat dessert first. Life is uncertain!

You just beat me to it. I googled ABI Marine Products, and there it was. http://www.sailboatstuff.com/mor_dockitem.html#RodeRide

Now that's what I call Livin Large!!! Gorgeous boat Chris. And welcome to the gang. *

"*Launched at the Malahide shipyard just outside of Dublin Ireland in 1972, Ursa Major is a magnificent example of"Old World" craftsmanship.* Ursa Major is 65 feet long almost 20 feet wide and displaces over 100 tons and powered by a heavy-duty Caterpillar Diesel Engine with two diesel auxiliary...

Count me in. I'll trade my 9. *

Eric I saw Griffin in Fossil Bay, and talked to the owner. She's a lovely William Garden design. At the time, she showed like a fiberglass boat. Awesome. I see the anchor. That's probably a couple hundred pounds of Navy anchor. Is Ursa Major a Malahide? I think so. * -- Edited by Carey on...

As suggested, I'd recommend you contact a Marine Upholstery business or if you don't have one locally, any upholstery shop will likely do, and they can answer your question. However, I would guess that Sunchaser is exactly right. They would likely run a longitudinal seam or two to accomplish the...

Mr Willis I'm sure your reference to my warm welcome was made facetiously, but let me assure you it was in no way intended to be warm. If we allowed everyone with something to sell to drop in and create a thread we don't want to see, we could never find those of interest. For you to drop in and...
