Sailor & Galley
These spur-of-the-moment morsels were easy to put together and very tasty. They required some chilling before baking, but no worries, mon. We were on island time.

THROTTLE AND SHIFT CABLES
Cable throttle and shift controls still dominate the boating market for outboard, inboard and sterndrive engines. Cables from brands such as Dometic Marine (previously SeaStar) and Uflex provide smooth, reliable service for years, even decades, but they might eventually wear out, corrode or otherwise lose optimal functionality. Here's what to look for when deciding on replacement throttle and shift cables for your boat.-Jim Hendricks

SOLACE 32 CS
For the techie boater, the Solace 32 CS has a long list of features that will surely appeal to the James Bond in them. Infused epoxy construction using Innegra high-modulus fabrics and carbon fiber makes a tough, light boat, letting its variabledeadrise, twin-stepped hull work through seas at every angle and offering a comfortable, safe ride.

GEAR-CASE REPLACEMENT
I'm no wrench head when it comes to the inner workings of outboard motors, so when I learned that the ad for the used 130 hp Evinrude E-Tec I recently purchased neglected to mention its close encounter with Lake Erie limestone and related gear-case damage, I feared the worst financially.

PLUGGED IN
Back in 2015, I'd mused on these pages that my son, Evan, then in kindergarten, would likely own an electric-propelled boat. Now he's in middle school and can operate a boat on his own. Has electric propulsion matured to where my light-hearted prediction might actually come true?

A HEAD FOR RUBATO
I dislike port-a-potties. I’m not too fond of poop in any form, really, being non-scatological by nature. In fact I consider it a sacrilege to poop on a boat at all, but since we may all be sinners, I confess I’ve pooped on a boat—somebody else’s, I should add.
