What Did You Do To Your Boat This Week?

[Srthomas75]

I did some trailer maintenance. I noticed that I was down a wheel when I got home last time out. ( 10 min drive to the ramp ).
New bearings, brakes, hub etc.. were due.
( I even found the wheel along the highway )

What's the damage on those/ where are they made? Wouldn't mind getting rid of my scotty rendition.

All in not sure but over a g note Im guessing.. the rack was custom.made for me in Parksville and happy to pass that info along. The rod holders were a new design that has just came out

Did Pat show you that trick

Needed a better system when fishing the 3rd rigger and what I had worked but not what I needed. So it was a combo of Pats system and what I could make happen with what I have with my grady to work with.(Pats boat is rigger pretty sweet) So now I can fish 3rd rigger with very little gear messes or a 5th rod for hali or dump extra gear out for tuna or when u are getting weeded out.

Now that the Marina's water is on, I spent a few hours Sunday cleaning the bird and otter crap off the boat's exterior.

We have covered moorage and two folks on our dock had critters get into their boats over the winter, crap everywhere,and then chew up their wiring and upholstery.

I check our boat weekly pretty well every week during the slow season. Some folks don't check their boat all winter

I just don't undertand that. Next year I am going to log my visits for insurance purposes.

The marina will have your fob scan data.

I apply Critter Ridder all around
my dock and boat in False Creek . It seems to be working after having a family of them around .

Spent the weekend getting some electronics installed. HDS-9 mounted overhead at the helm (didn't get a pic of that one), and the autopilot kit is wired up. Ran a few extra NMEA 2000 lines for future expansion. Stopped short of hooking up the hydraulic lines - that'll be next Saturday.



Does anyone have any tips on the hydraulic portion? I've never messed with hydraulics - have watched the videos and read the instructions so I understand the general process. Just would like to make the least mess possible in the process, and hopefully get the bleeding right the first time.

The hydraulic lines are about 6" longer than would be ideal - Not sure how I'm going to get them hooked to the helm without having a bit of a droop/bend somewhere.

I am thinking there must be two types of Critter Ridder. I don't think our Marina would take too kindly to me arranging to have repellant and water sprayed everywhere
