A post like that is heroin to a fishing addict......I will be in the water soon new autopilot Raymarine spx-5r arrived last night. Chris

I bought a set of four ratchet straps made by snap on for 20 bucks at Costco. They have coated hook that should not damage the fiberglass roof overhang. They look like pretty good quality to me and have a good release that fits your fingers. They are much better than the standard ratchet...

7G for a hull repair...time for a second opinion. Chris

Well, what can I say ....this is the coolest thing ever!!! I am totally going to get hooked up with one of these rigs I just never knew they existed...never saw one being pulled. I am glad I stumble on this old thread in c-dory land. Chris

Tom, is this what you use? A snap swivel? Do you use a particular size? I had never thought of this and it sure looks easier that pulling by hand. I don't have a windlass. Chris

I seemed to have missed what you were referring to ....did find the site. Also I did see your pics and the windlass aka college student. I thought those were called "winded lass" Chris

this is a really great idea....bet a carabiner would work. chris

I was out with a friend on a Noric Tug The seas were north at 8ft swells, short intervals and twenty knot southerly(lots of chop). Having to climb out to secure the raft was just not right. Should have double checked the lines! We were not in any trouble and the kids were having fun jumping...

Thank You for all the impute. It seems like such a no brainer but then again... I talked to gentleman why stated that he was most afraid of the raft coming off when green water was coming over the top. As he said "we were picking the seaweed out of the raft when it was all over". So, how the...

I am trying to figure the best way to sure the raft to the roof. Should I just tie it to the wooden (yes I have the old wooden roof bars) It seems to me some sort of hook and bungee cord the roof overhangs would be best especially in the rain. There must be some obvious way and there is...

Thankyou every one..I'll try the simple cushion seat and see if it works. Chris

now ..if you could just rig it to an electric reel ....then hook up the dinner bell! That would make Pavlov salivate Chris

It seems like a simple problem but not so fast. Raising the port seats in a permanent way probably means raising the table and the floor too. Raising the table has its own issues but a raised table gives the right table height for the helm seat. ...great for cards. . Raising the floor gives...

My passengers complain that the seats are too low. They all want to sit up and look out the front windows. I can think of a couple of ways to do this; First a seat on post with a swivel ....across from the helm , 2nd raising the "box" under the back seat...just build it up. Does anyone have...

I depends on the purpose of the trip. If adventure and sightseeing is involved then go through Denver, up and across Wyoming to Jackson Hole. The turn north through the Tetons and Yellowstone. Whether permitting try the bear tooth hwy out of Yellowstone, its high and wild. You'll need a good...

Yamaha.

Does the GHC 10 work for cable steering? What does the system cost out the door complete? I can do the Raymarine SPX-5r for about $1500 complete (core pack and controller) From what I can tell the Garmin is for hydraulic steering Chris

Why june 30? Are the chinooks in at that time? Do you usually fish off shore? Chris
