perry..... are you going to post more of the underwater system including the clamshell jet, or, did you want me to include my pics of yours on here? Post whatever you want. I plan to post a DIY thread with all of the info and pics in one place once the job is complete, including scrubbing the bilge...

Upper Chesapeake Tricab Rondezvous going on right now!
There is just one catch -- to participate, you have to turn your boat into a tree fort. Even before I closed on my boat, Sir Aaron of Baltimore recommended his mechanic to do some of the items flagged in the survey. Aaron's boat was still in the yard when it was time for mine to be hauled, so I aske...

Strainers for air-conditioning raw water intake
I have the option to upgrade the strainers on my A/C raw water intakes (That's code for the fact that my boat is now a tree fort). I originally had this kind, which is a PITA to clean: http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q543/P-dogg99/originalacscoop.gif So now I am considering this one, which is ea...

Is there some kind of safety check valve or flapper in there or is it like a Merc outdrive, torn bellows = sink? NEWS FLASH -- THIS JUST IN: Having gone where no man has gone before (sorry Aaron), I can attest that there is no flapper, BUT there is a bronze tube that is part of the clamshell mounti...

Was wondering if anyone has had this problem and what they did to resolve it and if it worked. If you do not have screens on the outside of the boat, you can do the following: Close seacock. Place temporary hose on seacock that extends above water line. Keep it there! Open seacock. Ram dowel or sim...

Well actually, it not only uses actual GPS signals, but the Russian version of GPS, GLONASS, too. I use mine while flying and taxiing aircraft on the ground and it is darned accurate. Always shows me in the middle of the taxiway (I had to say that in case any FAA FSDO inspectors read this). http://w...

Teats on a bull, spray rails on a tricab....
What's the difference? I, gulp, let another person drive my '85 tricab for the first time the other day. On my stroll around parts of the boat I don't normally see underway, I glanced down at the spray rail. Besides reminding me of the taillight fin on my late grandmother's Buick, it was doing almos...

Unfortunetly, going around and just unplugging other boat's shore power is a no-no. Unless you have their approval! Well, quite frankly I envisioned this to be a team effort amongst fellow boat owners and/or the marina operator. That said, I noticed that Tuesday nights are pretty quiet around my ma...

ATTN: Tricab owners -- spotlight question
There is no spotlight on my 1985 model (but there is about to be). I noticed that there is a switch on the DC panel labelled "spotlight". There is a wire leaving the switch, going down into the mass of all of the other black wires leaving the DC panel. Does anyone know off-hand where said ...

P-dog will you be hooking up a 3rd meter for the gen-set ? It is done. I did not include it in the post because it would be like the movie Groundhog Day. I just showed the shore power set-up because I did it first. I figured it would be enough to encourage people who might not think that they can d...
