Been flying it since last spring. So here is what the signs at the state park in Prevost Harbor say today: Day use only. No overnight moorage (on the dock). Day use only. Ok to moore overnight on park buoys. No camping. So we are still able to go ashore to walk the dogs or take a hike...

As galtexflanc says, mounted to the gyro unit, which is mounted on top of the control assembly. The part with the wires going to it in these pictures(black with silver data plate attached to it)

My Naiad's are a 173 series. The way I understand how the system works is the pump is circulating the fluid as soon as the engine is started. (belt driven pump) The pump just supplies the flow, not high pressure. Once the system is turned on, a electric solenoid opens and lets fluid go to the...

We saw your beautiful boat. We were the Defever with the small boat tied along side anchored out on the east shore. Darn it!!

XSbank; Can I qualify? Yesterday my tilt motor on my small outboard quit working. This has happened before and I knew that the brushes were stuck and probably the spring behind the brush was broken. Got it apart and I was correct. Cleaned up the holder with electric motor cleaner, got a...

Just saw this on line: NOVEL CORONAVIRUS – COVID 19 UPDATES March 22, 2020 The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission (Parks), Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced the closure of all state campgrounds across Washington to...

Well, this is a real mess and things are changing fast. This is my prediction: Canada will close it's borders to Americans. There is just so much more infection here than in BC right now and they want to keep it that way. I don't blame them one bit. It will really hurt the small marinas and...

All the guys on the BC Sport Fishing Forum are talking about it. Many have been boardered by them. As I said, they have a Canadian official aboard. Probably more concerned about drug smugglers than safety violations.

In reference to post 32: The past couple of years the US Coast Guard in conjunction with Canadian officials have been stopping boats in Canadian waters and doing safety checks. The way I understand it the boat will have one Canadian official aboard and are checking Canadian boats. They are...

This seems like it could be a real "can of worms" This is what my supplemental policy says: Emergency services worldwide You are covered for emergency care worldwide. If you have an emergency outside of the U.S. and its territories, you will be responsible to pay for the services you receive...

Well, the insurance aspect is very interesting. It looks like my Medicare will be of no use in Canada except for a very few exceptions. Also I have seen headlines recently that some travel insurance does not cover a pandemic. We have supplemental insurance thru Humana so will need to research...

So we are just two weeks from leaving to go to BC for the summer. Now I have some concern I may not be able to get back if the borders are closed. I guess that would not be the end of the world, there is nothing we need to be back for. What do you guys think? Anybody else have concerns?

I need to get a new flag this season. The old one is nylon and has taken a beating. They also use polyester to make flags which holds up better but it takes more wind to fly them as it is heavier. What kind do you use?

Epoxy would be just fine. If you wanted to do a little research on fiberglass work, check out this channel on Youtube; http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0kDqq-pSzdqFUk3oTaHBuA

You could remove a couple of the head bolts and screw in a stud in their place until the head is installed back on the block, then remove the studs and install the head bolts.

Don't need air conditioning in the Pacific Northwest, would rather have the extra storage. I have three Cruisair, reverse cycle heating and cooling, self contained units for sale. Model: SXR16 Stowaway V. 16,000 BTU. 115v, 60Hz. Full load amps:15. Starting amps: 34. CFM: 530 Weight...

This will be a very seasonable location. Can they get enough business in a few short months? It's probably iced in all winter?

I bought a exchanger for my Westerbeek generator this winter from AAA and was very satisfied. The replacement turned out to be a Sea Kemp which I have on my Lehman main engines. Good price and excellent service.

It gets even more interesting when the different brokerages list the same boat at different prices. Or better yet, when one brokerage will list the same boat twice at different prices. There is currently a 49 Defever on Yacht World where this is happening. If you could find out where the...

I had the Cat 3304 4 cylinder turbo engines in our previous Defever and they were very good engines. They were an industrial engine used primarily in big machinery and also many were used as engines for big generators. The 3306 may have been used as the same.

I think this is what may be happening. When the boat is first listed, the broker will stipulate in the contract that they have a exclusive for a stated length of time, let's say 90 days. After that it is no longer exclusive and the owner is free to list it with as many additional brokers as he...

Today will be the fourth time in four years I have replaced the compressor in my Hurricane II heater. We live on board so it get's lot's of use. Any other users had this much problem with their heaters?

Fabric softener works well to soften them up. Probably a good soak in Dawn dish washing soap would clean them up.

Nothing in mine either.

Two years ago I had to cut a cruise short because of so much pain in my left leg. Had a steroid injection and the relief was almost instant. Really have to be careful now. Two weeks ago I dragged out the Honda portable generator to run the old fuel out of it. Had to pull many times to get it...
