Furuno FV 585 and an Airmar TM260.

I also have the Lewmar Pro Fish. 30' of chain and 400' of 1/2" rode. The Lewmar has never failed. It is not the free falling model. I always go forward and deploy the anchor by hand when overnighting and always cleat the rode off. If just stopping for lunch, check out a fishing hole, etc. I will...

You can also get the solder on type lugs. That's what I use on #6 wire and larger.

Rig it like Spike said. You can put a valve on kicker side if you want, but I never have on three different boats and never had a problem. Also coat "O" ring on cartridge with vasoline and it won't stick on you.

Has anyone removed the cockpit hatches on a CD25? I would like to remove them this winter and inspect fuel tank and anything else under there. Also need to remove old sealant around hatches as it is molded pretty bad. What sealant would be best to use that wouldn't mold? Thanks

I've also found service on the Montaque Strait side of upper Knight Island, out in front of Mink Island, and in front of Unakwik.

I have a 2007 CD 25 with the fresh water tank mounted in the stern right up against the transom. The boat is way too stern heavy when the tank is topped off and extra fuel and gear onboard for a 3 to 4 day outing. I'm having to run with the trim tabs 3/4 of the way down or better.I was wondering...
