Awesome! Looks like you guys nailed the weather, can't hardly see a wave or swell in the background. Looks like a great time.

Thanks to everyone above for their ideas and suggestions, appreciate all your feedback and input. Its interesting to compare how boaters do things out there. I agree with you moore-rb, (even though I have fuel injection) fuel vapor could've been the culprit due to constant idling, especially in...

Thanks moore-rb. You're right. Time and patience.

Perfect. Thanks Fatboyharley. Good info.

Not to be a downer, but I travel from Yuma to RP about once a month and am just about always pulling my toyhauler, quads, or boat. Every time I cross I routinely get pulled into secondary inspection in Mexico, and they always compare my name on my Arizona driver's license to my name on the...

Thanks for all the helpful advice and recommendations. Appreciate all your help! Happy safe boating!

Ya, pretty much what I figured. Thanks for the advice. Just wanted to make sure people weren't doing something really different. But thanks, and can't wait to get out there again!

Back to my original question, what are you guys using for communications out there besides a VHF Marine radio? Not sure of the range on my VHF radio (its a new Cobra radio with a Galaxy 9.6 ft long-range antenna) but I'm gonna guess it won't have a range more than 20 miles. How well to your cell...

You're 100% right, Stuart, sometimes its the smallest things that you overlook that are causing the problem. I forgot to include those points in my original narrative, but I checked the safety switch and turned it on/off a few times, and made sure the boat was in neutral, even put it in forward...

No, next morning it started perfectly then restarted perfectly a few times, so I headed out to Caballo to do some fishing then loaded the boat that evening and its been in my shop since then. Lesson learned, once leaving the harbor will NEVER shut off the engine again unless its an absolute...

Have no clue Roberto, after the commercial fishing boat pulled us into Safe Marina and I spent the night, the next morning it started just perfect, and started perfectly a few times after that. And yet I tried a million times the day before and it wouldn't start. It would turn over just fine...

Thanks a lot for your help. Appreciate it. But when I head out to areas like Caballo (20 miles out) and Area 51 I can't pick up any phone service with my US iPhone with Sprint that picks up the local Telcel network. That's why I thought I'd go with a satellite texting system like Delorme. Does...

I'm from Yuma, AZ and head down to Rocky Point every so often to do some fishing. Have a 24 foot Chaparral Signature boat, and launch and stay overnight at Safe Marina. Bought the boat about a year ago, and been down to Rocky Point about 5 or 6 times with it. The first couple trips we hired a...

Am from Yuma, AZ and have a 24 foot Chaparral Signature (fairly new, only 130 hours on it) that I take down fishing to Rocky Point every so often. I launch and stay overnight at Safe Harbor. Was down there last week with some friends, and we were fishing at Caballo (about 20 miles south of Rocky...

Nice! With the water that calm I'm guessing you guys must've been at Area 51. Good catch!
