Is there anyone here from the Sequim Washington area that could have a quick look at a car that I am considering buying. Need to know it its worth a trip out there to have a look myself. PM me if you can help out. Thanks.

Does anyone know of a place where I can leave a truck and a trailer for a three week period, last week of July and first two weeks of August. Every year I drive out from Calgary, launch my boat in Vancouver and spend three weeks on my boat. For the last 7 years I have left my truck and...

Well here I sit on Pender island near Victoria with a crapped out raw water pump. Had to get towed in by a fishing boat. Have to figure out how to get a new water pump sent over from Victoria. I just hope there are no issues from the overheating and all I nead is the raw water pump. To make...

I'm almost all packed and ready to go. I leave on Saturday morning, driving to Vancouver from Calgary. I'll be spending 3 weeks out on my boat somewhere between Desolation Sound and Victoria. Yeah it's a big area but I do have 3 weeks. I roughly plan to head north from Vancouver for the first...

I just replaced the distributor cap, rotor and plug wires on my 2001 7.4 liter engine and now it wont start and there is some backfiring. Stupid me I didn't mark the location of the plug 1 wire on the distributor thinking I could just look at the diagram in the service manual. Well the diagram...

Lousy weather for this time of year for the last little while here. Today was +20 C and sunny, yesterday and tomorrow much the same. How am I going to get any skiing in if it stays like this?

I'm getting ready to remove my engine due to a leaking oil pan. I've got everything disconnected but have run into a slight problem. Due to the clearance above the engine and the face that one of lifting eyes is near the back of the engine there is no way to lift it using the lifting eyes...

Desolation Sound was the plan but plans change (even more photos with Orca photos ) Here is a bit of an account of my 3 week holiday where I intended to spend most of the time in Desolation sound. As it tuns out I only got to spend a couple of days there. Total trip was 1224 Km and 1543 litres...

Some of you may remember a post I made in the spring about what to do with a boat that was going to be sitting for a year without being used. Some said to fill the fuel tank, others said to drain it. Well I decided that the best thing to do was to run it and not let it sit. So today I finish...

Due to an impending divorce I may not be able to use my boat at all this year. If it does come to that any suggestions on what to do to store the boat until next summer? Last fall I did a complete winterization, oil change, gear lube change, fogged the engine and ran pink into the seawater...

http://www.vancouversun.com/news/woman+miraculously+survives+capsizing+that+claims+male+boater+Strait+Georgia/9781890/story.html An area where I have been many times. It can get very rough there when the winds come from the north.

For the past while I would always have some water in the bilge and didn't know where it was coming from. It was never a lot but last time I was out it seemed to be more than usual. So on Wednesday I climbed into the bilge while my wife backed the truck down the ramp. As soon as the transom was...

Anyone gone as far north as Johnstone Strait. We are considering going on past Desolation sound this year. Would like to here from anyone who has experience in that area.

Boats all packed up and ready to go (well almost). We're heading out tomorrow to tow the boat 900 Km to Vancouver. Then it's off to the Sunshine coast for a bit, over to Comox for the long weekend then up to Desolation Sound. Ater a week or so there we'll head down to the Gulf Island for a...

So once again this summer my wife and I set out for our annual 3 week cruise on the west coast. This was the first trip for our new to us 260 DA. The previous years we did the trip in a 230 DA. I have to say having a bit bigger of a boat made the trip more enjoyable. We hauled the boat from...

The previous owner of the boat left the bimini top up all the time and now the bimini support poles that are supposed to slide inside each other are seized. Anyone have any advice on how to free them. I have tried liquid wrench, applying heat and even soaking them overnight in CLR but can not...
