Biggest canvas project yet!

Perhaps it's just a poor choice of words, but I wouldn't say that "smooth" was what I'd want when it comes to compression. <g> An engine that's been sitting for a long, long time can lose compression

Hey Rich, longish time no see !! Yeah, there is a steering friction knob like on the throttle. Looks like a push pull bar for gears, then I have an old tiller extender that has a screw tightener, and

I”ve always locked the motor ‘forward’ and steered with the tiller which is a much more effective and intuitive way to control the boat. Trying to steer with the motor sets it against the

G'day John --- Ok, the real details come with looking up the serial number. A call to the brother reveals more. The motor is a 2012, so years older. However, first owner found that the lower unit

We had a nice lunch at the Longbranch today. The food was Good, the service friendly, and there was a table outside big enough to fit us all. :o) Coot Wes, who lives on a farm down the Long Tom from

I've read about this incident in a few sources. It seems the wife was found near the dinghy, away from the boat, and the husband was found dead under the boat. One could speculate that he was attached

Whoops, my bad. Registered out of Astoria. Maybe they left from Tillamook? It is known what time they left (4am) but no one specifically says from where.
