    Installed a Lone Star GX2 anchor winch

    I have never learned how to post or send pictures on this site. I can send a picture from my phone to yours should this work. I have 600 ft of 1/4" dyneena, 12 ft of shock cord and 35 ft of G4 chain on my GX2. I would have been happy with 400 ft. But the dealer intalled the 600 ft. And the reel...

    Installed a Lone Star GX2 anchor winch

    I have the GX2 on my C-Dory 25, installed last year while in Wrangle, AK. It required #4 cable all the way to the winch. The lemar V700 wireing was not heavy enough to support the GX2. I highly recommend GX2. I also got the remote with it. I now use the anchor locker for additional storge.

    Sharrow prop

    Thanks for the feed back on your Sharrow prop. ( and I am not number 1 ) You pretty much confirmed what Sharrow claims in performance advantages. I went with the SS over the Aluminum, as it is repairable and aluminum is not. As for ROI, I will probably never see it. But better reverse control...

    Sharrow prop

    I just ordered the SS Sharrow prop at a staggering cost of $3325.00, for my 25 ft C-Dory & 175 hp Suzsuki. Has anyone had the nerve to try one on thier C-Dory yet? Or am I the guinea pig for this new costly adventure. I put 2460 miles on my boat this past year from Anacortas, WA. to Alaska. My...

    C-Dory 25 Cruiser - Real World Engine Upgrade Options

    The boat came with the Honda 90's when i bought it, but I never ran them other than to make sure they worked ( 460 hrs ). They had a lots of rust under the hood and I what the dependability of a new engine for my Alaska trip.

    C-Dory 25 Cruiser - Real World Engine Upgrade Options

    I have the 2005 C-Dory 25 cruiser and just got home from a 3 month cruise from Anacortes WA. to Petersburg AK and surrounding areas. I replaced twin 150 hondas (2005) with the Suzsuki 175 and a 9.9 kicker. My average fuel burn was 2.38 npg for the 2,260 mile trip. I was heavily loaded whith a...

    suzuki DF175 hp performance figures

    Hope to see you sometime on the water. Just look for "MY IGGY" in big letters on my boat. The 4.1 nmg was going against the current on the Colorado river. Going with the current it was doing 5.1 nmg, should be about the same in the Ocean, at least I hope so. I will be leaving for Anacortes...

    suzuki DF175 hp performance figures

    Salmon Fisher recommended the SS 3x16-17P, and thats what the dealer installed on it also. I am very satisfied with it.
