I've got a Side Power SP125Ti thruster and the rubber coupler between the motor and the shaft let go - it's the original Lovejoy splined type of coupler, with a metal receiver on the motor, and another receiver on the shaft. After disassembly both the shaft and mote both spin freely on their...

Agree - Navionics don't do a good job here. Nor do they do a good job of ID'ing area WG or rockfish conservation areas, or glass sponge reef areas , and they've recently done away with the current tables for many of the areas "we" need them most (Dodd Narrows, 2nd Narrows, Porlier Pass etc.)...

thanks for this. You say $36/pair? I'm seeing $652 for one (non-removable 34" version) - I like $36 a lot better, what am I missing? https://www.tannermfg.com/store/Fixed-Standard-2-Swim-Platform-Staple-Rail-34-x34-p442485639

Interesting observation regarding your 4788, we're just now having this very discussion (putting staples on our 4788) and are (were?) leaning towards it. I too had some concerns about the ability of the swim platform to provide the required support - are you aware of any 4788's/Meridian 490's...

Pt. Roberts marina has somewhere in the neighbourhood of 500 slips, most of which are rented by Canadians. Covid has closed that marina, and all the Canadian boats came to Canada and are stashed in various marinas. When the border opens, expect that swing to go the other way and when it does...

Sadly not any more - it seems YW UK has now been "upgraded" to the same new system as YW US. No more advanced search, no more saved searches, site has to reload for every single option you choose when building a search. Yachtworld, this is a HUGE step backwards and your site is no where near...

Since my boat is my cottage, and I'm going to be expected to pay this new tax as my cottage has now been deemed a "luxury", does that mean there should be a "luxury" tax on all other cottages in the rest of Canada as well? Or will the geographic discrimination simply continue..??

Bowline on one, double sheetbend (with a long tail) on the other. This is the combo used when gillnetting in the PNW - spent many a night hanging off the net with this knot combo - never once came close to letting us down

I had a couple of issues with the Gen 1 Smart Plug and the manufacturer couldn't do enough to make sure I had the replacement parts I needed to update to Gen 2. They were super good that way, so doubtful they'd give this guy any push-back if they thought there was any chance to make it right,,

This one's older for sure, but she's in really good shape (shed kept) and the lower cost leaves you a lot of play money... https://vancouver.craigslist.org/nvn/boa/d/north-vancouver-42-grand-banks-1975/7235729484.html

Ocean Lady has been there for years - she's part of the fish farm and has quite the storied past. But she's not moved in a very long time, guaranteed she's getting thinner and concerns are growing that she soon may be an environmental disaster... Ship details

Welcome to boating in the west coast of BC ;)

We bit the bullet, paid the funds and joined Burrard Yacht Club in North Vancouver just over four years ago. Best money we ever spent on boating. We managed to get (covered) moorage in about a year (small boat) and in one more year from now, the savings on moorage alone will have covered the...

I use this (below) and a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser - works really well. https://superclean.com/products/

On this coast, in a lot of places where there are no stern tie rings provided, a lot of boaters will “donate” a length of line, leaving one end anchored/tied to shore, the other one has a loop available to route your stern line through. Did the original boater litter? I suppose so as he/she did...

I run cheap/simple 3/8 3-strand polypropylene line for our 3288 and keep it out of the sun when not being used. 600' fits nicely on a garden hose reel (I'd consider this a minimum) - this lets you run from the boat, to shore, around tree/through ring, and back to the boat so that when you...

Interesting concept and as one who spends a lot of days on the hook well outside of cell range, I'm curious how remote alarming can be relied on? Understand this may be some of your proprietary tech - but if you can share, please do. Also curious of there is plans to have it broadcast over...

I sent YW two notes - not one response. What used to take minutes, now takes many more minutes - too many in fact. We're looking for a bot, but we're not shopping for a boat. If one comes along, we're ready to sniff but now with this "new and improved" feature, sniffing is a lot harder...

Wow - amazed at how an anecdotal conversation went sour and polarized. I'm not defending systems, I'm not defining systems, I'm not the one you look for for documentation on anything TC does. I simply entered a conversation and brought with it observation based on my experience, both as a...

Nope - just know that slowly but surely Cardinal's are taking over (in Canada)

Not disagreeing - it does work. But like it or not, it's being replaced...

The "black over yellow over black" is the Cardinal system, and is slowly but surely taking over the waterways. It's a simple system - there's only four markers and they all indicate safe water. The "Red right returning" system is the lateral system - it's confusing to many (as it completely...
