This has been a great thread. I'm anxious to get my 2300CC back down to Mexico and in the water. I'm going to have to get someone to run the boat while I climb back there on the Armstrong to see where I'm at. I think I'll pre-rig a harness for myself.

Down time is considerable. I have a boat / boats in Baja and I have a boat in CA. It's about six months of each, which means a potential six month down time.

I HOPE the marinas here sell non-ethanol gas. I'll certainly have to figure this out before buying a twin four stroke set up. If the marinas don't sell non-ethanol gas, my only other option would be racing fuel or Avgas. I posted a question on the subject, as a separate thread. Dale replied...

kemo sabe I hope you don't think I was being sarcastic, that wasn't my intention. I'll try the search, obviously I'm missing A LOT.

Wouldn't it be nice if we knew how much fuel we were going to use each time out? How in gawd's name do you keep your tanks MT? What about condensation?

shawnee83 Rosaritto Beach, sure I know of it. I pass it all the time, it's just south of the boarder. Just south of, although it's now connected to, TJ. That's interesting you guys get non-ethanol at your docks. I don't think it's available here in The People's Republic Of California but now...

I have to think this topic has been covered here before, if so, I hope you'll bare with me. I haven't been concerned about ethanol before because I buy gas for my Yamaha F250 in Baja where there's no ethanol; however I'm considering a twin outboard for use here in CA. There is no way you can...

This brings up a good question. I think I'll create a new post to ask about ethanol and outboards. I don't worry about it with my 2300CC / Yamaha 250, because I buy fuel in Baja, where they won't allow ethanol!

Oh that's just perfect! The EPA! Weren't they the ones behind forced ethanol? Has there ever been anything practically or environmentally worse than ethanol?

@ DaleH & HOTPURSUIT Help me out here. What am I missing? To me, that forward facing vent looks like a scoop just waiting to send vast amounts of sea water directly into your cabin. Whether I use Kanberra Gel, one of these vents, keeping my boat drier inside is a good thing. This vent just...

Thanks Bryan, 16 - 18 gph @ cruise, what kind of speeds at this consumption range? Tops out at 40? That seems low to me. my 2820 with two 250s does considerably more. I would have thought the 25 with 200s would be more comparable. Actually, from my point of view, it wouldn't be great in...

I feel guilty of betrayal just by asking this question but I was at West Coast Marine, the local Parker dealership and had to wait an hour for UPS to deliver a part. Guess what I did during the wait? So my question is, what is the real world fuel consumption and range of a 2530 with two Yamaha...

@ Megabyte Thanks for sharing the link. This single sentence makes it sound like exactly what I need... "Built to withstand high speeds, these antennas are ideal for radar arches and T-tops on speedboats, yachts and commercial vessels." I did some online searching and found this article. It...

Megabyte Digital antenna, is that a brand name? I've never heard of it. I've always used the high end Shakespeare. This one snapped like it was a toy.

I had Special K out this past weekend for the lobster opener. Got caught in 35kt winds with gusts to 55. Ground swell 8 - 10 with 3 - 5 wind waves. More than once we found ourselves on top of the winds, on top of the swell. The expletives during those fleeting glances into the troughs were...

HOTPURSUIT I tried your links to no avail, so I tried both on the CP search. Searches only produced this page. Do you mind trying again? Thanks.

Brent Both spots are outside the enclosed area accessible from the hatch; therefore I can see the underside or back of the area shown in the above photos. On the port side, the crack appears to invade the first weld. The crack into the weld "could" be powder coat crack only, although with it...

I assume, Dorade box and widow rain shields is a topic of past discussion here on CP. Care to elaborate or share a link to those discussions?

I hope you're right. We'll see, I'm taking the boat back to Baja as soon as I finish make the mods / improvements.
