Somebody tell me, please, that I don't have to remove the hot water heater in order to replace the 12V receptacle next to the AC panel

Thank you all so much for your tips. This will help make our experience a good one. I will pack tuna, matt-unique! I do not think either of the cats will like engine noise - be it car or boat. After all, they think that if they are in the car they are going to the vet's office...never fun...

Hi, This is Donna, Capt. Patrick’s wife. We are planning to live on our 25 ft C-Dory for 3 to 6 months in Florida with our dog (62#) and 2 of our cats (8# each and 10 years or older). Our dog is a true boater, but the cats are likely to SCREAM, er…MEOW loudly about the whole adventure. I am...

I used a two sided sticky putty like substance (can you see I don't remember the name of it} and just stuck the pt holder to it. That was 3 years ago and it hasn't fallen off yet. I also used it to hang a clock and have move it and it and the sticky stuff came right off. Patrick

I know what you mean about the concealed weapon. I thought a concealed weapon permit would end a lot of my problems but after getting one I found out I couldn't shoot as many people as I want too. DARN! Patrick

How long do you think you can leave a 25CD in salt water without bottom paint? I really don't want to paint the bottom but I would like to cruise a month or so.

Perhaps I should amplify what I reported here. It was just your plain everyday extension cord. I was not using a/c or water heater. I have no experiencing of any electrical problems such as sparking at the plugs while connecting to the boat. Or breaker popping. Just a 100 ft cord on a reel...

I am probably the last person to learn this but I will put it out there anyway, just in case. I had a 100 ft extension cord on a reel hooked from the house power to the boat. I was only using about 25 feet of the cord. The rest was wound on the reel. Heat built up inside the reeled cord and...

Has anyone had any experience with this product? I am thinking of using it for some of the level areas (table top) in the cabin. http://www.cabinetrescue.com/ Tks Patrick

Any ideas on how to bend the forward part of a bunk board to form to the contour of the boat.

Thanks again, guys

As the sum total of gear oil changing in my manual for the Honda bf150 is "change gear oil". I have to ask this question. Do you use the standard 90 w gear oil or is there something else I should use? TIA Patrick

Tks, everyone, especially Roger.

Exactly where on a cd25 is the horn physically located? I can't find it. Is there just the one fuse located on panel at the wheel? Thanks again. Many more where this came from. P.S. SNAL, Remember, I know where you live.

Thanks, Bob
