What Did You Do To Your Boat This Week?

[Newf]

Mine was a gift, but I'm sure they would have them.

I got mine online but I did see them at Island Outfitters.

PNT had these ones, give it a try. I like the size, 18 x 36

I would think about scribing or marking a vertical line at the centimeter marks for Coho and Chinook minimum, Chinook slot size, etc., because a large fish on that ruler might not show the center of the tail portion “V” to the corresponding species and centimeter mark you are looking for.

I cut small triangles of blue electrical tape and stick them on at cm marks. For different areas you can reposition or replace.

I made a temporary double mold to make new battery boxes so I can move the batteries forward in my boat,solid fiberglass.

Nice work as always .

If looks could smell. Looks like I had a blocked drain from under the tank into the bilge. No leakage yet but at 25 years old, it was clearly time.

That’s satisfying A.F.

Looks like you found the missing members of the Southern Resident Killer Whales under your floor!

Well I actually had canvas already, with a bimini soft top. The top was getting pretty threadbare but the sides and back are still in decent shape. Windshield is 3 pieces so doesn't offer very good visibility, so I was already thinking of getting a new one done, either in one piece or two. The hope was to reuse what I can of the existing sides and back pieces, perhaps with a few alterations/additions to make it fit the new structure. Unsurprisingly easier said than done though, so will need to think over my options on that for a while. I used the full canvas only on one trip last season - Port Mcneill in June, when it was raining quite a bit. The rest of the time I just ran with the top and no sides. I found it basically impossible to run at speed with the front windshield in place. So I will need to decide how much I am willing to invest in the canvas at this point.

I can recommend a canvas lady. She just built me new cushions for my Sea Chaser. Nanaimo based.

Who is the canvas lady? I need some canvas black-out curtains done for my rig.

Please do. I have pretty much decided that having the top without canvas to match doesn't make any sense.

Dang trim/tilt pivot pins on my kicker were seized (top and bottom pivots), so the trim/til would bind up the farther it extended out.

It required major heating (tig torch), was a real struggle.
I cut half way thru the pin before resorting back to heat/hammer/punch.

Sent you guys PM's.

I may have to do that same thing. Is that a mercury pro kicker? Is there a platic bushing in there? Cheers

Yeah it's a mercury pro kicker.
There are plastic bushings, check the parts fiche to understand the configuration before starting yours.
I was surprised just how seized it could get, considering it's seated against plastic.

New shed for the boat, project boat in there for now as my Seasport is still at the marina

 

[chille51]

Finished my rigging table, after a few "prototypes" on the mounting over the Christmas period. With the geometry of an Arima splash well needed to tilt up to allow motor to tilt, and also wanted it easy to take on and off. We'll see how this holds up this season. Tilts like butter, and comes off easy by pulling the two quick release pins up front.

Who made the shed? I’m struggling to find a “temporary” structure (as per city requirements) that will fit in my front yard and fit my seasport 22.

Capital auto equipment in Vancouver. Mine is 14x14x30 sitting on 2’x2’ cedar timbers
Not sure if it meets requirements for the city but do not care either. It is my property and neighbors are fine with it.

I'll have to make a little video at some point, but just installed the new Westcoast Fishing Tackle 36" fillet table. Installed it on a strut, through bolted to a burnwin mount. It's rock solid with just one mounting point and still allows for the seat to slide forward when I pull the engines up. Piped it overboard for a no mess clean-up. Couldn't have worked out any better.
