Journey On is a 25 2005, and it came with a vertical Lewmar 600. It failed when we were in the San Juans, 1200 miles from home. Since we were in cruising mode I just replaced the V600 with a V700. When we had the time, I dissembled the V600. I found sand in the gearbox, entering through a...

I knocked the lower part of the skeg off on Journey On. That's aluminum. Had it welded by a good welder and never thought about it until today. I guess the seals were good, never leaked. Boris

Well, join the club. We had a Catalina 36 and sold it for a C-Dory 25. A sailboat is only good for long distances and we'd had our fun. It took us to Tahiti, Alaska and a couple of years on the Great Loop. A wonderful boat. The first time we set an aft anchor at Santa Cruz Isle was at...

It looks like those are 6 or 9 kw outboards, which is enough to get you to hull speed but no faster. Do you agree? Boris

Well, if the original fridge lasted almost 20 years, why not get a new Norcold? We have the same fridge and its still going strong. The Norcold has a 110 ac to 12 dc converter, so if the thing runs on 110, I'd be puzzled as to why it wouldn't run on 12. Might check if its getting 12 vdc. Boris

The 25 has terrible aft hatches. Here is how I fixed them: Fixing 25 hatches Boris

Merry Christmas after all. Glad you now have a working set of engines and gauges. Quite a thrill following your events. Seems like nowadays what they are able to build things that they cant install or service. Two comments. First we just bought an electric car. Can't wait until something...

For parts, try https://www.boats.net/catalog/yamaha . I don't know about the advice. Boris

Jay, looking at your C-Dory dash, I don't see a magnetic compass. I'm sure that there are instruments that will show you which direction you're heading, of course. But do you have a magnetic compass where you can see it? Boris

Thanks to both of you, Bob and PC101. I'll contact the one in Vernon this winter and see what it costs. Boris

Journey On has 2 ea Lowrance MFDs, one gen 2 and the other an Elite. Several years ago, C-Map was selling a single chip that covered North America and I bought 2 of those. Been using them ever since and there's no expiration date. You might look at C-Map charts, especially "C-Map Discover...

Bob, I appreciate the ease of galvanizing a chain. My problem is finding someone who will do it. Here in So Cal, I've found that it's cheaper to buy new chain. Some galvanizers send me to a place in Mexico. So, and I hope you have a list, is there a place who will re-galvanize a chain and...

Journey On had had 2-3 different transducers off the stern. Every one has worked well, fast or slow. So, why is your transducer giving trouble? Certainly I don't know, but could it be that the transducer is not mounted rigidly to the stern? I used a piece of starboard attached to the hull...
