Thanks Guys. I'll pursue the Harbor Marine and Diamond Sea Glass leads and let you know how it goes. B.T.W., they are #8x5/8" sized. I was able to locate my screw size gauge to verify.

Thanks Boris, I took a look at the link to Jamestown you provided. Those screws are made by Simpson Strong-Tie and unfortunately they do not manufacture them in lengths shorter than 1" and these screws are 5/8". BTW, do you happen to know the diameter of these, #6, #8, #10? Yes, I have found...

It's time for me to replace much of the hardware on my '94 22' cruiser. Many of the square drive screws on my window frames are rusting and need to be replaced. They are square drive, flange head(also called truss head, stove head, or oven head) and probably stainless steel sheet metal screws...

Thanks for all of the advice guys. We can get some pretty rough seas over here and I would say that a lot of the time I will need to use both wipers. I think that a good solution for me will be to install the diode along with the momentary switches to use when the spray is lighter and I only...

I'm in the process of installing electric wipers on my C-Dory. I'm using the AFI 1000 motors. The wiring schematic calls for a 5 amp diode to be wired into the circuit if one wishes to operate both motors from the same switch. Are there any Dory owners out there who have done this? How does...

Have you considered trying some of those interlocking industrial style rubber mats that are used in commercial kitchens, etc? I purchased 4 of them from Home Depot at minimal cost and cut them to size using a utility knife and straight edge. Got a nice fit. They are just high enough to keep...

Hi Everyone, I just purchased a new EZ Loader, tandem axle, galvanized trailer rated at 5200lb. for 22 to 24 foot boats for my 1994 22' cruiser. It has two bunks. Was wondering where the optimal placing of the bunks is. Also, any advice from others who have adjusted/set up a new trailer...

I've decided to install some electric wipers on my 1994 22' C-Dory. The manual wipers are just not safe enough here in Hawaii this time of the year with so many whales around. I know that most C-Dorys with electric wipers use the AFI 1000 motor. However, I found Ongarro motors at Defender...

Thanks all, My wife took off in my truck this morning to go surfing, but when she returns I will be following the advice posted here as it sounds promising. I can't even take my boat out here in Hawaii, as you have to have an annual safety check on all trailers and all lights must be...

I just had some new lights installed on my trailer. The installer checked all of the lights with a 12 volt battery charger and all lights were working so he insists that the problem must be with my tow vehicle. The problem is this : Brake lights and turn signals are working well but there are...
