    Curious to what type of steering this is and what is a replacement for it.

    Yes, there is a good chance it may have a lot of wear even if you can find the exact match cables. Ordering the helm and the cables as a set you will find the helm is the least expensive part of the deal. If it was a special to you boat and you were planning on keeping it for years think about...

    Curious to what type of steering this is and what is a replacement for it.

    First thing to do is pinpoint the problem. Disconnect the cables from the motor and see if the wheel turn freely and the cables move smoothly. With the cables still disconnected move the motor both ways by hand. My first guess would be on a 40 year old boat that both the cables are...

    My memory isn't what it used to be. State Street was RT 40 and was where I turned off the interstate to get my load. I seem to remember you could not drive a semi on city streets until after 7:00 am. If I was running early there was parking at the PA/MD line off the four lane so you could...

    What do the ships' crews do doing the long layover. If Baltimore is anything like I remember it from 60 years ago the bar girls on State Street could make enough to retire by the time the channel is open.

    Nobody fishing?

    That would be fine with my wife as she could stay home and get a head start on setting stuff outside for the yard sale.

    Break out the dramamine.

    Got me thinking what was the exact date. Found this; Official reports have seas running at 20' with swells 40+. Some unverified reports claim up to 60. The King was hit by three rogue waves in a row. I was attached to a sister ship that was scheduled to go through there at the same time but...

    Looking for some help

    Have you pulled the plugs right after cranking and cranking. Are they wet, dripping, dry? That would be the first quick check I would do. If dry put a little mixed fuel in a squirt bottle and spray into carb while trying to start. If you a least get a pop or bang you have fuel problems.

    Best all around hunting knife?

    That is just like my Ken Onion. I usually take it with me if I am dressed up because it is thinner and 4/10th of an ounce lighter that my Schrade. Don't usually take it out on the boat for fear of losing it and it cost me more than any other pocket knife I own.
