[Rhodes22-list] Good things to have aboard your Rhodes22

[Bob and Kathy Quinn]

Mark:  On the engine, sounds like you may be flooding it.  Ease up on the choke and see what happens. If that does not do it, a carb rebuild is in order. 

I carry a "tool kit" to deal with any incidents that occur when we are on the water.  Included is a reasonable amount of tools to deal with issues - and as there are not too many issues to deal with - the kit only includes what I have determined will get me through any crisis - check around your vessel and you will see that a couple of screw drivers, pliers, and a few well sized ratchet wrenches will get you through.   I also carry extra clivis pins, rings, tape, utility lines that can be improvised to deal with issues, etc.   Dock lines, fenders, and a boat hook are also standard stock. 

Yes, and all required Coast Guard equipment:  flares, throw ring, life vests, flashlights (have found myself out after dark as the winds failed me and I did not plan appropriately), proper navigation lighting, VHF radio (fixed and portable), etc.  I have a chart plotter but that is more for fun than practical use as I generally have researched the areas that we sail in quite extensively.

Has served us well with over sixteen years of Rhodes 22 sailing.

Hello fellow Rhodes Scholars

What equipment, other than USCC required equipment, do folks carry aboard
just in case. For instance, a clevis pin and cotter ring departed the port
side rear shroud over the weekend. So I guess spare clevis pins and cotter
rings would make the list?  Sizes?

I installed cotter rings on all the turnbuckles to prevent any of them from
coming loose and was quite satisfied with myself until the shroud went
flying?

All else seems to be working as is should with the exception of the new
Tohatsu 6hp SailPro - It's a bisquit to start and once started, if it
stalls, can't be re-started for at least 10 minutes.  Any suggestions along
those lines would be helpful also. (Still waiting on the propane Lehr to
show up)

Thanks for any suggestions.

Regards
Marc
