Re: Draft for the Great Lakes

Go with the shoal draft. Too many rocks to hit. I believe some channels are only guaranteed to be min of 6 ft. I have been in 7 to 8 ft deep channels in Georgian bay.

Re: Help! Trying to get the wife in the game.....

Let your better half choose your boat and let her job be steering the boat while you adjust the sails. The best way to get her to buy in is to let her do it.

Re: Westerbeke 42B Injection Pump

Re: Westerbeke 42B Injection Pump

Yes I removed the pump myself. Keep and reuse the copper shim under the pump. It is your timing adjustment. Timing should be the same after installation as before.
