Re: Best bailer bag set up for a deep fish hold
Hadn’t considered lowering them down with a line, seems too slow. Will give it a try for winter/spring kings, where there’s always lots of extra time! Other working ideas that have not come to fruition: Fish Luge - Some sort of slide that impedes speed without friction or scale loss. hmmmm. Building...

Re: Chain length on Stabilizers
How do you get your stabilizers to not tug hard on the rigging when drifting or underway at idle in the trough. My entire mast and A-frame rumble, in fact the house shudders. Its A-framed aluminum pipe with addition of two side cable stays, a forestay and two back stays. everything is tight. There i...

Re: Best bailer bag set up for a deep fish hold
Not to deviate too much from the topic but since we are talking about holds and quality does anyone have any ideas for reducing the impact of a falling fish from the hatch to the slaughter. I employ the classic belly ice method and have a very long drop for the fish. Any ideas? Please don't say 'get...

Re: Question on documenting ex-canadian vessel
Sometimes Google is better for searching forum info. I think it optimizes for instance the word "ad measure" in topics first and in the body second. So you get the most pertinent stuff first not every single post that ever had the word mentioned.

Re: Smartest route for first boat.
I agree with the above. The extra you spend on fuel will be made up and then some by increased efficiency of your operation. If small boats were the best equilibrium between costs and production everyone would have one. All boats require lots of maintenance. You will probably grow out of the 30' boa...

Re: Comnav 1001
That would drive me crazy. Mine does not do that either, I don't think its a "feature" on the pilot. A person who is very knowledgeable about comnav autopilots and marine electronics is Eric Holmgren (Current Navigation) in Sitka (907) 738-9257. If you can't figure it out he can probably s...

Re: Better deckhose
Here's what I found. I replaced the belt and fixed the coolant leak above it. Checked the flow of water from the thru hull at various points and found ample flow, no blockage to the pump. Finally I did what I should have done first and checked the impeller (one month old) and it was toast. There wer...

Re: Better deckhose
Ok thanks for that advice. I had been assuming my blockage was probably at the through-hull side but remember that the failed impeller came out in pieces to an extent. I'll check the other end where it necks down first.
Now, is this pump not meant to be run at high RPMs?

Re: Better deckhose
One obvious thing to keep in mind is that you can NOT run this rule pump with the outlet valves shut off. It will ruin the plastic impeller fast. I ruined one myself and have quite a bit of paranoia whenever my new crewmen are messing with the valves, especially at the end of the day. Nor can you re...

Re: Better deckhose
The trick with the rule general purpose pumps, to get ample pressure, from what I was told and what worked for me, is to run inch and a half hose from the thru-hull to the pump and also from the pump up to the deck BEFORE you reduce it down to a garden hose or whatever your working deck hose is. I d...

Re: Better deckhose
I have a Jabsco belt driven pump and am hating, absolutely hating the pathetic water pressure. It's almost serviceable at charging rpm but really weak pressure while trolling. It's the 1 1/4 or 1 1/2. Have others had good luck with these? Maybe I have a blockage restricting the flow. I've heard the ...

Re: Rigging
Ok. These are great points. I should have mentioned, the boat had stiff stays at one time because there is an existing mounting bracket on the cap rail that I was going to use and it is angled to be in line with the pole mount bracket which is also on the cap rail so I don't think they will bind whe...

Rigging
There's been lots of good discussion on rigging here lately. Wanted to first say thanks for that staby haul-up idea. Is working very well on my boat. When I go out on deck to haul them and I still can't believe how what once was painful and dreaded is now so fast and effortless. I'm building some ri...

Re: New To Site
This is what i do so you probably want to do the opposite: 1: I use the standard snaps they sell murray pacific, the nickel ones. they are more forgiving on the wire when you run them through the block and easier on the hands to clip on and off. I wasn't aware there were different sizes. I started r...

Re: AMSEA Ergonomics class in Petersburg
I was under the assumption that cutting the throat latch and then handling the fish by its head bends the head backward and traumatizes the back or the neck meat near the head. I don't think the fish's anatomy was constructed by nature keeping in mind that it needed to be sturdy enough for fisherman...
