Thanks for your replies, guys. Glenn

While doing some crud removal in the anchor locker I noticed big flakes coming off. Is this a problem, should I peel it off or just not mess with it? Will moisture get behind and cause it to freeze and expand? Glenn

I don't know if it's right to re-open an old post, but here goes. Earlier this year I trouble shot my non-starting engine and decided to replace the front - the high pressure pump filter. When I picked one up locally, the tech said I should replace a by-pass switch in the bottom of the pump...

New Sport Trail trailer

Hey Brats I got an excellent trailer from Sport Trail, all aluminum, electric over hydraulic, ladder, spare tire on spindle. Great build, I highly recommend Sport Trail, thank you guys for the contact info. It only took 5 years to finally get wheels for the boat.

Thanks for everybody's advice and comments! Looks like I'll be sticking with the heavier trailer for Mae C. Glenn

Yeah I thought it was a big jump, too. The new wheels are 6 lug. I also went for the EOH upgrade. I might be going over mountains. Vortex hubs as well.

Hi everybody I'm in line for a new trailer to be built for my 25. It'll be 3-4 weeks. The first estimate was for 3500# torsion axles. With ST205/75 R14 tires. When I told them C Dory max weight was 7-8k they gave me an estimate for 6000# torsion axles. With ST225/75R15 tires. Re-reading...

Took the boat dogs and first mate on an afternoon cruise a couple days ago. Found myself on a channel to Davis Bayou Gulf Islands Seashore. Puttered up at no wake speed to the boat docks and made ready to turn around back to gulf. The Suzuki 150 stalled and refused to restart. Drifted to the...

Yes I've been having issues for a few days now. I thought maybe because I'm on a hotspot.

Gladly sending tip for all the invaluable information and entertainment in the past couple years. This site and it's members have made my long journey and boat maintenance and upgrades easier and safer than trying to puzzle it all out for myself. Kudos to all members and site admins. Storm Dog...
