    Seamax

    Does anyone have any information about these dinghies? I found them on E-Bay with a few different types. The prices seem to be pretty fair and they are here in Canada, so shipping is easier.

    Fore !!!

    I can't believe I'm the only one who's thought of posting about Tiger. Maybe it's banned, I'll soon see. It's too bad a man can screw up a life so much so quickly. His family always seemed to be the centre of his life, but WOW! what a dork. The first thing I do when reading my on-line newspaper...

    Bilge plug

    I have a 1990 Carver Santego, and I can't seem to locate where the bilge drain plug is. I looked at the normal spot at the bottom of the stern, but can't see it. Anyone have the same boat and can tell me where to look.

    Pacific coast highway

    My wife & I are thinking about flying out west and driving the pacific coast highway in February, and was wondering where a good place would be to begin our trip. We would be flying from Ontario, Canada so I would like to have nice weather. Should we start in San Fransisco and go south????? Any...

    Winterize marine head

    I have a 1990 Carver 2767 Santego and it has a Jabsco toilet. The way it works is you flip a lever to pump out to the waste tank, and then flip the lever to pump raw sea water to rinse/fill the bowl. How would I go about winterizing the toilet? I figure I'll fill the bowl with anti-freeze and...

    Chipmunks

    Does anybody have a good way to get rid of chipmunks ? I've got hundreds living in and around my wood pile in my garage. They are destructive little things. Can't put any food/garbage unless it's in a tight container, and the smell from them sometimes is just awful. I've tried all kinds of...

    Two weeks on the Rideau

    We just bought a 1990 Carver 2767 Santego, and we plan to spend up to 2 weeks cruising the Rideau Canal. The Admiral (wife) fell in love with the layout from what she saw on the net, so when I told her the deal went through she jumped for joy....or a reasonable facsimile. Compared to our other...

    Waiting is killing her...........

    We put an offer in on a 1990 Carver 2767 and the waiting is killing my wife. She's one of those who gets excited about something long before it happens, and if it doesn't, she gets quite down. I seem to be able to look at this type of thing as just another transaction and if it goes great, and...

    RIP my little boating buddy

    Well it's finally here, the day we put down our wee dog. It's a long story but I'll try to make it as short as possible. Just over 5 years ago we had to put down our other Bichon because he had very serious kidney problems. Then one day my wife said she'd like to go look at some Bichon puppies...

    Aig

    The stock market can be very scary. I held shares in AIG which cost $1.35. I have sat on then for a couple of months and then suddenly the company does a reverse stock split 20:1. This means my number of shares went from 5000 to 250. The closing price on Thursday was $18.25 x 250 = $4562. If...

    Post Bypass Heart Surgery

    I had a mild (??) heart attack and discovered my arteries were clogged which resulted in a quadruple bypass. That was 9 months ago and I'm still having issues that I feel are not of the morn. My GP has said it will take time, but a friend had similar surgery 5 months ago and is feeling almost...

    Going to Florida

    I've had enough of the cold and snow. I'm leaving on Sunday to Indian Shores for a week. Is there any good attractions to see in the area? We're in our mid fifties, so we're not interested in a theme park. Thanks

    Cruisers & Cuddys

    I'm relatively new to the forum, so I don't know if this is the right place to post this. But I wondering how many would be interested in a category about just cruisers & cuddys. I've been through most of this site and it seems to cover many subjects but not about the issues we who cruise...

    Honda or Yamaha ???

    I'm hoping to pick your brains here. I'm looking at buying a generator and I can't decide which one would be the better buy. The Honda 2000Watt I can get for around $1300CDN, and the Yamaha 2400Watt for about $100 less. They both seem to have similar specs and 53-59DB noise ratings. The only...

    1988 Larson 250 Delta Sport

    Hi, I'm new to the forum and I looking to see if there are any others who have issues similar to mine, and if so how they remedied them. First I have water in the cabin after each rainfall. I've caulked everywhere I can think of but still it gets real wet inside. Sometimes there's more than an...

    Garmin 168Sounder

    When bought my boat last year it came with a Garmin 168Sounder. All summer I played with it and it appeared that the base map was out of position. I'm on the Canadian side of the St. Lawrence River and it positions the curser/arrow about 1/4 mile too far south. As when I'm docked on the US...
