As promised James --Single handing your Dory with an aft helm. This is the link to that Post--where I have a picture of my hand made unit. Geoff http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=22887

JASON 617.817.1136 0 Are there any C Brats that can show their 16 to Wood Zeppelin? I think that would be the best thing to do, maybe even a short sea trial! There's no substitute for actually sitting on the boat. I know there's LOTS of Brats in WA. This group is a great bunch of folks. Feel...

OK - I own the 16' Angler which has draw backs and assets of course. Paul has defined the draw backs and invites a response. So lets look at the assets missed here. 1-tow vehicle can be any one of a number of smaller SUVs - mine is a Jeep Liberty diesel. 2- trailer for this 16' does not require...

Good to hear from you Mark -- but as many of us were not there can you decode who the beautiful girl was that came up with 5 or 6 knots!! I bet its a cute story.

We have a good habit of wearing our life jackets because in a 16' Dory it can bounce around enough that looking the other way with an unexpected wake you could lose your balance and go over the side. Then when fishing we may find ourselves on the same side, my wife with the net and me leaning...

Hi Martin & Andrea Thanks for the suggestion as a safer way to cross over the Strait in our 16' C-Dory. As a retired Mariner who has traveled the Strait many times in my first life--LOL. I know firsthand it can get nasty. But on the other hand, Aug. can also see it flat as a plate. So it a...

Great invitation Ron. Now can we screw up the courage to cross over in our 16' Angler from our home base French Creek--LOL Geoff and Aline

This person who listed it didn't give anyone the courtesy of a answer-- so who's to know what happened?

Well yes you make a point re; 3/4 ton tow ratings being far in excess of the weight of the tow vehicle. We could get mathematical and vector the forces too. But in the end if your on loose gravel, sand, sea snot on a ramp, ice or snow and I have been on all of them, the weight behind the hitch...

I think thats an excellent question Sunbeam and maybe be the key consideration here. My Jeep Liberty diesel weighs in at 4312 lbs and that's a consideration too. Just think- if your 22' Dory,trailer and kit weighs in at 4200lbs on a single axial trailer - you don't want to end up the tail of the...

Thank you very much for this post as that's the kind of valuable information that makes this site so effective in steering us around the pit-falls we all are subject too from time to time by false advertising. I have a 2005 Jeep Liberty diesel which could have seen me with the same problem as...

Blueback-16': I have a 2 piece Velcro down the middle which works for us. I made a stainless curtain rod for them to slide to the sides on. I find your history of ownership contrary to the trend of footitis -25>22>16 wow must be a story here. Geoff

There was emission testing in the Metro Van. area at the time and they would have caught my MAF disconnect, as that left a check engine light up on the dash and a error code on the system. So once every 2 years, for the testing station checks, I connected the MAF signal and used my code reader...

I have a Jeep Liberty diesel MV Motori turbo diesel 2.8 Ltr which I bought new in 2005. It is a well known work horse in Europe and in the UK they run that engine in London taxis service I am told. However, they only passed Cal. emissions standard in 2005-6 years. So Chrysler stopped importing...

Finally, the thickened epoxy: I happen to use West Systems, 501 epoxy, with the appropriate hardener. I mix it 50/50 primarily with cabosil.(Fumed Silica) 404 high density filler. Painting the core with a thinned epoxy is a wise idea. . I believe there may be an issue of cost/quantities...

Here is a cut and paste from Ganges Harbour, Salt Spring Island: Harbour House Hotel's photo. Harbour House Hotel 4 hrs · PLEASE SHARE! The winds are howling... Son has let us know that boats are capsizing in the bay. To all the folks living out on their boats (or any other unsafe gig for...

BTW Its identical to mind -16- Angler after observing the photo -- remember a little weasel piss -er WD40 helps and as I said before dielectric grease - if not available-- Vaseline.

On my 16 Angler it just pulls out. If yours has been plugged in for a long time you may have some corrosion across the terminals. Go very easy with a slight rocking and pulling motion. If you can get a little wd40 around the edge of the socket as well. Next time mount with dielectric grease on...

A big welcome to Tim and Kayla--- We live at Qualicum Beach so one day if you're in the area stop in and say Hi. Give us a heads up so that we will know our whereabouts then- or we may see you on the Strait off French Creek--eh.
