I haven't seen this discussed yet, so maybe it's a fresh topic: My 22 classic gets wet in the cabin a lot (Why isn't really part of the story). I'm thinking about drilling through the crossmember that the rear cabin bulkhead sits on (at deck level) and puckying in a thru-hull tube. Then I can...

Ok -- the snow settled down some and I have the serial number for the suzuki now: 901067. The plate is kinda worn, so if that doesn't look like a good number, I'll try again. Thanks!

My brother commercial fishes tuna, crab, and salmon out of Florence, OR. for his fish store and restaraunt. Sometimes, if I'm REALLY good, he sends me a can of his private label tuna or even better -- tuna pepperoni. I agree that anything less is really cat food, and that NW tuna is the best...

no -- wait -- that wasn't me. :smilep

You got off easy. When I accidently left my flux gate open, I lost warp drive altogether in heavy traffic, and ended up going frontwards and backwards at the same time. Depending on the compressed state of your tides and currents archive, that can be very disturbing! I had to solder in a new...

See? That's why I ask the pros!

Yeah, I got all that and I see where it's headed. But -- can anything be fixed without a sawzall and duc tape? This is just a little curl on the edge of one blade. I think I can hammer it flat and file it smooth without losing more than a few grams of metal. Finally -- if I go ahead with...

It's 35, blowing and snowing out today. I pumped the boat and saw the number plate on the suzuki, but I can't get close enough to read it and it's too windy to turn the boat around. So the serial number has to wait. The number of the honda is BBBL 1000632. I was told this was a 2001...

Thanks for the input so far, folks! I'll run down to the RAGING FERRET and check the serial number on the suzuki. I should have that later today. I have a lot of discomfort about the story the seller is telling me. The honda is currently at an automotive shop. I was in there a couple...

Luckly for me, I know that there is no end to some debates, and some, like spark plugs and motor oil, shouldn't be engaged in at all. :) I'd been reading pitches everywhere from 12" to 18", diameters of nearly the same range, etc. My local marine shop suggested a 16-pitch. The guys at the...

I've done both. I thought I liked "heading up" on the gps because it's easier to find the darn boat when I drive it off the chart, and because when I'm zoomed way in and need to scoot the chart quickly to see what's ahead it's easier to scoot "up" without having to think about it. I'm...

this is all very technical to a noobie. :disgust I'm reading with interest, since the honda 90 I'm looking at buying has no screw attached. Now I get a chance to try understanding metal vs plastic or something, 3 vs 4 blades (unless Beaver Cleaver designs it), diameters and effective blade...

How about a free scrap of flat strap to lash down the kicker's tiller in a mostly forward direction? Then I drop the main motor and use it for a rudder to steer from the cabin without the tedium or expense of linking the two engines together. I do a lot of putting on the kicker at 8mpg/5.5mph...

Hi, bratsters! In my neverending quest to repower, I've come across a honda 90hp short shaft of about 2002 vintage. I intend it for my 22' classic. It has a power head with about 20 hours on it (yes, that's twenty) and looks to be in good condition. It includes the combo speed/shift/ign...

I guess the C-Dory compensates for it's lack of self-bailing with self-decision-making. I'll take all the help I can get. :P

Thanks to all who posted replies to my questions! You've all given really good information and experience-based opinions. While I pondered them all, the 130hp Honda got sold, so nobody needs to worry about me pushing my transom through the cabin due to overpowering. :smilep However, I am...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :disgust

Up here in Alaska we lose a lot of folks every year in boating "accidents". Although alcohol is a reported factor in most of the fatalities, I've never heard of anyone ramming a dock, rock, or another boat because they'd lit up a smoke. I've never noticed a butt in the water, but brown bottles...

I've been poking about the website here and found the brat map. Is it my imagination, or are C-Dorys allergic to tornado alley?

Sitka is yummy warm this time of year, thanks. We've been in the mid-hi 40s all week, and it's just tonight dipping into the mid 30s. Come to Alaska, where it's warm in the winter! :smiled To add to my prevoius post, I have no problem with the power of the suzuki 90. It's capable of...
