Got tired of divets in my head.


 

(SEA3PO) Teak trim around table  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Dec 13 00:25:53 2009
I bought the teak from West Marine and replaced it all...I wanted it slightly higher...Now those darn sharp edges won't bang my bald head.


 

(SEA3PO) teak cabinet under seat  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Dec 13 00:22:46 2009
Stock item from West Marine...fit right in..perfect ! I built a shelf in the cabinet.


 

(SEA3PO) relocated porta-pot and bed extension  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Tue Apr 12 14:44:21 2022
I installed a bulkhead at the back of the porta pot and in that compartment are the two Optima huge batteries.


 

(SEA3PO) teak drawers under driver seat  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Dec 13 00:21:12 2009
This was once 3 cabinet fronts from West Marine..I bought custom drawers and mounted the teak fronts.

From: bridma (bridma)  Fri Aug 21 14:52:04 2015
Is there some sort of latch so they do not fly open when under way in roughers?

From: hardee (hardee)  Thu Dec 13 14:31:49 2018
I have similar drawers, same place. Mine have a 3" nylon strap on the forward (left) top corner with a snap on the end. The matching snap is around the corner to the front. HarveySleepyC


 

(SEA3PO) dual Racor filters  
From: johnf (johnf)  Sun Feb 25 15:22:27 2007
Looks Great! Thanks for the idea...all you need to do now is cut a vertical slot to see your fuel tanks.


 

(SEA3PO) Autopilot controller added to Sportpilot  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Dec 13 00:29:19 2009
The sport pilot was hard to set and I did not like the control...by adding the controller it makes it steer perfectly..and easy to use.


 

(SEA3PO) Dickerson propane stovetop  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Dec 13 00:16:42 2009
Works just super...but it's not a heater...just a stove...

From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Mon Feb 15 19:40:15 2010
Dickerson fireplace goes just above the sink for heat


 

(SEA3PO) Tilted steering wheel  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Tue Oct 15 14:00:56 2019
That rubber piece is one of those things that the cables and hoses pass thru near the motors.


 

(SEA3PO) Passive cushion for dirvers seat  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Tue Oct 15 13:59:02 2019
Using this gizmo when the boat pounds you don't bottom out in the helm seat

From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Tue Oct 15 14:02:35 2019

2 sizes of propane tanks 1 gal and 2.5 gal  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Feb 14 14:59:56 2010
steel tanks get rusty...the composite is cool, you can see the fuel level..and no rust.

From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Feb 14 16:17:39 2010
Can't be any wider than 10" to fit through the new hatch openings. Perfect fit..


 

Large propane tank installed  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Feb 14 16:16:19 2010
THIS IS THE MONEY SHOT !! Perfect... Just what I wanted..tons of propane.


 

Bottom extension molded  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Feb 14 16:15:07 2010
You can see how thick and strong this thing is...and that is epoxy.


 

Molded over a 12\  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Feb 14 15:01:20 2010
The bottom also has a 1/8" plywood for strength...but sure diden't need it..


 

Installed and bonded to the bottom w/drain  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Feb 14 14:58:50 2010
This looks thin, but is at least 3/8" to 1/4" thick...super strong


 

Sits down, but will be covered by tank front  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Feb 14 15:06:34 2010
Still needs paint but when the tank is in, and the tank cover up....it will not be visable

From: Catch 22 (Catch 22)  Wed Feb 17 23:30:20 2010
i like this, good use of space here


 

plenty of fuel tank clearance  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Feb 14 15:02:23 2010
Tons of room between the top of the tank and the bottom of the extension.

From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Feb 14 16:13:50 2010
The sides of this extension is 1/4" thick.


 

top view, just enough clearance to close  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Feb 14 15:03:38 2010
the drain is installed at the bottom, the glass on the top is 2 layers of thick mat and 2 of glass tape...super strong epoxy


 

one gallon tank installed...lots of room  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Feb 14 15:04:16 2010
The 1 gallon tank sits almost flush with the bottom of the lazerette


 

New hatch cover closed perfect !!  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Feb 14 15:05:11 2010
The new style cover fits perfect and closes just fine...note dog in picture...boat dog

From: Anonymous (Anonymous)  Sun Feb 14 23:41:50 2010
The larger "replacement" lazarette hatches look great. Is there any chance you have the manufacturers name and the respective part or catalog number?


 

Mounted in the corner...real solid  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Wed Mar 10 19:58:58 2010
Free-standing mounted to life-line stancions.

From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Wed Mar 10 19:59:43 2010
Plenty of clearance...only 2" required


 

Plenty of clearance all around it...  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Tue Oct 15 14:08:17 2019
The fire window is great for viewing during wine and cheese hour.


 

those stancions are bolted through the counter...strong !  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Fri Mar 12 18:10:55 2010
I plan on mounting a small head deflector shield under the unit to protect the hose and wires..


 

This is the rear of the mount...the solid bar mounts to where the bolt is on the outside hand hold..  
From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Wed Mar 10 21:15:23 2010
This is from the outside, looking through the back window


 

Diden't think about this...will have to machine a wedge...  
From: ckcpony (ckcpony)  Fri Feb 22 17:17:44 2013
Do you really need a wedge or does it work ok the way it is?

From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Wed Dec 12 19:14:20 2018
Works just fine as is...kinda like it close to the top...no heat at all near the base..there are actually 2 pipes inside the connecting pipe...intake air and exhaust..so the outside pipe stays cool.

From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Wed Dec 12 19:16:23 2018
The tug also has a propane heater...not nearly as the one on the C-Dory...I like to see the fire..

Winter storage...I did it myself..

From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Tue Oct 15 14:13:42 2019
I bought a full roll of the shrink plastic..enough to do the boat 8 or 10 times so it costs less than $50 each time...


 

at Lake Almanor...chilly  
From: hardee (hardee)  Thu Dec 13 14:46:30 2018
Sure hope that heater will work. Harvey/SleepyC

From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Oct 13 14:22:34 2019
Sue and I slept in the boat that night...and made a run for Southern California in the morning...sure was cold...the heater did not even make a dent in the cold...

From: SEA3PO (SEA3PO)  Sun Oct 13 14:24:56 2019
The Fire Department came with their blower and dug us out .....
