Great for you Paul - outstanding. I can see from what the write and some of the preperation, why you need to start the planning now! Hope it is a well documented (for our sake) trip! Russ
Not sure if I'm looking for a crew......I have given it much thought, Helen my First mate is going.
A Flotilla would be good.

So.....in planning for this trip..... it is off to the 2012 Seattle Boats Show next week.
One thing I will be looking for is a new top drawer bread toaster, at the show for the boat.
When I went to Desolation Sound BC a few years back I was introduced to Daves Killer Bread........

And ever since then, every morning, after walking the dog, I would come back to the boat, have my coffee,
have a slice of Daves bread........ toasted..... and the world looked good.

Was out gunk holing and the macerater pump stopped working....oh no.
Went to Refuge Cove BC and would you believe they had
two new Jabsco model number 18590-2092 pumps in
stock.....$ 180.00 each.
Off to Lund BC where they have a pump outand I will install.
I know it will be a crapy job.............Ray

Paul,
From one of those photos, it looks like you removed the hinge from the engine cover. Is that true? How do you get to the engine now? Do you just slide the cover across the floor each time.
I have mixed feelings on that cover. The hinge works great if you want to get to the top of the engine or the port side, but if you want to get to the front of the engine, like when you have to change the impeller, the cover just gets in the way, and I unscrew the cover and slide it as far forward in the boat as I can, but it is a pain.

I agree. I'll take a PITA engine cover over poor access any day! I base my opinion on the lack of open wounds on my hands after working on the engine compared to the years I had my Catalina 30. If they ever Luminol'ed that engine compartment someone might think I murdered someone there!! 3 years with the 310 and no injuries!!Witzend said:
OK, I obviously complained too much. I do agree with both of you. I have owned 2 other boats and seen many, and yes the 310 has a great engine access.
My question was that it seemed that Paul has removed the hinge and therefore never uses it. Have others done that. I find the cover difficult to move across the floor. Just wondering if there was an easy way to move the cover not using the hinge.
