As my boat is on the hard for the winter, I've decided that it's about time to upgrade some of her electronics, I estimate my sounder to be over 20 years old, it's a Si-Tex CVS-106, also my GPS, a Furuno GP-32, has seen better days, it's hardly state of the art!!. At least the radar is quite...

Forgot to mention..gale force winds today, all morning gusting over 80km/hr, it's blowing the tops off the breakers, my old golden Lab didn't stand a chance the wind knocked him on his butt!!.

Yes I agree, the PO managed to install 2 solar panels at the rear of the cabin roof, you can hardly notice them. I'm looking to upgrade the sounder, it has a Si-tex cvs-106 at the moment, I suspect it's about 25 years old, I'm looking at the raymarine a87 or Lowrance HDS10 gen2 with down scan...

Afraid not Elwin, too shallow and sharp rocks, I think the best I can manage is to place a mooring out in the bay.

SD Your very sad loss seems to have greatly affected so many off us here on TF, as a relative newbie I haven't yet gotten to know you very well, but still my heart is heavy for your loss, I can only echo the sentiments expressed by all your friends here and offer my heart felt condolences, you...

Welcome Lois and John, I too retired in July, the time is racing by, I found my "perfect" boat after 6 months of search and research, so take your time and start wading through the mountain of priceless information that's available here on TF, you will probably modify your ideas of what type of...

Welcome aboard, You are correct, there's a mountain of info available here to absorb, so much that I changed my mind, several times, when searching for my boat. Read on and enjoy!:thumb:

Welcome aboard Bob and a big hello from "The Rock".

I wanted to change the name on my boat from E.E.S. to "Swiftsure" in honor of my favorite Vickers Vanguard on which I spent many years tending her every need. A couple of factors changed my mind: 1, As you can see in the pic, the last 2 letters of the registration were the same, so the call...

Hi Brooksie, She's a Northumberland, I have all the engine and GB ratio specs, so there's only the tacho calibration left to check. I have no idea of the prop clearance, but you're right that could be the limiting factor, I do know there's a 3 blade prop kept as a spare, it was removed a few...

This site works well. I confirmed my current wheel with this site. Vicprop - Propeller Calculator Hey guys, I don't want to hog this thread, I did a calculation with my boats specs using the link, It came up with a 4 blade prop size of 24.8 x 20.4. I checked the survey report for my boat, as...

Welcome aboard Bennett, I don't think you will find a subject that's not covered here, a friendly bunch with plenty of experience.

Welcome aboard Grant.

Hatches hinged on both sides?, so are you going to modify the hatches into 2 halves?, I can see the reasoning, in fact I'm amazed that this isn't the norm on all trawlers. My boat is designed for rough water, so all the hatches are heavy aluminum diamond plate and firmly fastened down.

You're very welcome, Decent price as well, can't be bad.

These look identical, right size too. I use Mercer marine for lots of stuff. https://www.mercersmarine.com/sagro/storefront/store.php?mode=showproductdetail&product=892 Robbie.

Really enjoyed reading your blog, you two did a great job, well done.

Not a trawler but she suits the rough coastline of my home port, 38' Northumberland strait converted lobster. http://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=23616&stc=1&d=1381406368 http://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=23617&stc=1&d=1381406368...

I'll second that FF You can teach a monkey to weld steel, but aluminum...

Stan is in Langley, that's BC I believe, there should be plenty of charter companies out that way who could set you up with a boat for a few days.
