Ideas for Sailing with a Kayak?
Does anyone have any good ideas for storing a Kayak on deck while underway? She's a 1989 -S24. We currently keep it roughly amidships at the shrouds, inside the lifelines. See pic. Was thinking of

Here¡¯s one of the links but my box from the Loos gauge has the measurements and you¡¯ll have to verify size of the wire or rod). It¡¯s best to get it close to straight by measuring side to side

I don¡¯t care. The Edson is better than a piece of wood. Tony Tony Billera tony.billera@... 206 605 2650 linkedin.com/in/tonybillera Please consider the environment before printing this email.

Re: Boarding Ladder
Ok, I didn¡¯t go that far. Functionally they are equivalent. If you have the time, tools, and talent, the wood step is likely more satisfying to have and use. Being unretired, I still factor in time

Re: Boarding Ladder
Cheaper but not anywhere near equivalent. The Edson will last and perform as new for a lifetime. And then one can sell it. The hooks themselves are very high quality and about $20 each. Tony Tony

Re: Boarding Ladder
The $20 included wood and line. I had some left over varnish. Took may be an hour to make it not including drying time between varnish coats. As for time, I¡±m at that stage of life where my income

Re: Boarding Ladder
It is only $20 if you have the scrap wood, rope, vinyl strip, tools, varnish equipment and a skilled worker who values their time at $0/hour. Dave wrote: Yikes! $409 for a step? I have a boarding step

Re: Lift Pump replacement
With a lift pump you don't really need to bleed. As per Pete's comment let the pump run for a minute then go ahead and start the engine. It may take a bit of cracking and run rough for a few seconds

Re: Boarding Ladder
The 4 point contact on the Edson step w non skid rubber buttons against the hull makes it very stable. The step has a very high safe load. Will not fail. Won¡¯t rot. Included line is dynemms and clip

Re: Lift Pump replacement
Just turn on the key and let the pump run for a couple of minutes until it¡¯s it slows to a steady click-click-click. Assuming it¡¯s a Westerbeast. Pete

Lift Pump replacement
I have replaced the lift pump and associated filters. New fuel line too. Before I restart the engine, does the system need to be purged of air? According to the manual, it is a self-bleeding system.

I have one, it's nice because it's very sturdy and easy to climb on. Its significant, you need to take it down under sail and stow, its weighty and is not super quick like a transom ladder. If you're
