Topping for cedar plank salmon: Make sure the cedar is water soaked well. Mix panko crumbs, lots of coarse ground black pepper, a couple tablespoons of soft butter, and maple syrup and mix to a paste. Spread it on top of the salmon filet in a layer to make a crust. Put it on a hot grill...

Actually was just those flavor drops in ice water. Too cold for a beer.

It’s Georgian Bay. It’s about 20 miles wide straight across but if you head right it’s about 120 miles to Manitoulin Island and the North channel. The sweet water sea.

When it’s time for a major rebuild on my carbs I will sell them and install Holley marine carbs. I have heard nothing but good things about them.

Well I’m launched. Snow on the sidedecks when I got there. Sketchy getting the fenders on with the boat high and slippery. Boat started and ran well. Took a while to warm up the engines and burn off the storage oil before I was confident to go to the slip. Strong wind on the bow when backing...

About to leave to go to the marina for launch this morning. Of course it has to be one of the coldest days in weeks, and I think almost a record cold snap[. Windy too. It’s lightly snowing out the window. Damn. No cleaning today after launch. No cold beer either. Back home to warm up.

My 97 330 has the original carbs. No problems for me. The bowls do leak down dry after week or so of non use. But it just means about 5 seconds of crank for the mechanical pumps to fill the bowls. If it’s been only a couple of days they fire right up. When I shopped for mine I was indifferent...

I know a couple people that still after 30 plus years of marriage, have completely separate banking, credit cards, etc. Seems a bit silly to me, and makes life a lot more complicated. And for those that will say that they can control their wives spending or that it allows their wife to not...

It will probably be a leaking fitting, not the pipes. Start in the bilge and check every fitting. I have also replaced almost all of the fittings on my system that are in the bilge. I think the heat makes them deteriorate faster. So far I have not had to replace any other FWS fittings on the...

It’s sounds like the broker took the pricing risk above your price you needed. So if he priced it high and sold it at that price, or near it, he should have some meat on the bone to fund some of those minor items. You have a non conventional arrangement with the broker so I think he should bear...

I did the hullsides earlier this week on a day I was able to work in a t-shirt. I had to rush it because I only had the one afternoon and we had that rain and wind crap blow through for the rest of the week. No pictures. But it’s only “OK”. I used the light 3m cleaner/wax. I planned on doing a...

So yesterday I was spring buffing the hull and the buffing wheel grabbed one of the clamshell plastic vents on the hull side and ripped it off, breaking the plastic blocks that are glued to the clamshell (and what the plastic trees push into to hold the clamshell on.) I decided to research a...

Snuggly is an understatement. Your fenders probably barely fit between you and your neighbor. At least there is piling to help coming in and out. But still.....

I replaced my Standard Horizon and was able to cut out the SH mounting panel to fit the new one

Looks like a 460 Ford big block, which makes sense since OMC used ford engines with their King Cobra drives.
