Holy crap Hunter, are those all your labs? Haha I love it. They look like American labs?

Totes are square and moved with a fork lift.  About 800 # of ice-  I usually try to get a 1/2, enough for three large kill bags and a cooler in the truck.

One of the forum members asked me about a 2019 posting of mine where I'd mentioned the stock of a Danforth anchor was cut-down to allow it to fit into the anchor locker on my Sea Ranger 19.

Thinking it would be helpful info for others, I'll post it here as a "tip" and will point him to this posting.

This cut-down Danforth came with the boat when I got it from my brother; he thinks the original owner had cut-down the stock of the anchor to allow it to fit.  All I've done since then is put on 12 feet of chain to give the anchor a good lateral "bite" on the bottom.  We typically only do "lunch hooks" anyhow, with a 4-to-1 ratio of rode set out, we're not anchoring overnight in tidal areas with a 7-to-1 ratio.  The anchor works fine as cut.

In the first image, you can see the anchor is actually wider than the hatch -- but the locker below is wider still, so all you do is put the rode-end end in first and tip down the fluke side with the stock "un cut", and then the fluke side with the cut stock fits in well.

The 2nd and 3rd images have sized for you, as there's no marking on the anchor.

Happy anchoring!

ps: You can also see I secure the pin of the shackle with a short cut piece of insulate copper wire; that's not needed for a "lunch hook" probably, but it's a habit from when we did moor our boats for six months per year.  All shackles had that done to them so pins would not turn out -- and over the years on that river, we did hear of several boats which had slipped their moorings due to shackles losing the pins from all the tidal action.

I was like what documents would you need to keep in the bathroom? 

 

Dual purpose! Here's a new product idea for someone. 

I am fixing all the little things that I have been putting off. Like the stupid large pan heads protruding out of the bottom of my trim tabs.

Counter sunk the holes and replaced with flat heads..:

price drop - $18,000

Motors seem to be on sale too...

Wow... I feel amongst strangers.

Quote from: dew on Yesterday at 07:50:48 PMSimilar story here for me but from area 13 last weekend. Released 8 or 9 lings before getting this 30". All on live herring. We had grilled fish tacos with this ling.

Shrimped today so steak and ceviche tonight, and hitting halibut in Westport tomorrow.

Crazy how different the weather is in our pics, only a week apart. That's spring time in the PNW for ya!

I think the site should allow us to throw in an extra "like" when someone includes a Lab in the post.

I have the chocolate model.  I know that look on that dog's face.  It is:  "I don't know what is on that plate and I don't care.  If it hits the floor, consider it GONE."

Labs make the world a better place...  Here's my house and a pic of the Pre-Saturday night briefing..

Please DON'T tell me where you live.  If my wife and daughter got wind of that information, they'll show up and ring the bell multiple times.  I don't have room for that many labs to run.  I also don't have that much space on my bed. 

I'm glad you have good luck catching fish to eat.  I'd hate to see what your dog treat bill looks like.

Last of several Labs and 'hoppy' from Bandaid's sister who died in Feb
