Oops - correct; bronze. ZOINKS!!! Heck I don't even know if a brass one exists. :oops: 3M 5200 on the sealing. Hole was already there so it was a swap out. My transom mount highwater pickup works fine. Does the job for $15; I thought it would tear off, but everyone I know who uses them...

I've been living on borrowed time on the Johnson Pump that I had. It was a plastic thru-hull fitting. I just replaced it with a brass seacock which then leads to the pump. While there I had the outflow plastic fitting replaced as well. I've know two people who have had issues with the...

Some folks around here use 2 gallon sprayersat boat ramps that don't have spigots. Mainly a quick rinsing of the hubs. Most guides I see immediately spray their trailers immediately after launching.. Not as fancy, but gets the job done.

That's pretty much it. I would hate to buy a boat and just watch it sit. My current boat sits intermittently at home and has been relegated to Tarpon/Grouper fishing. I'm on the kayak bandwagon. I could easily see putting a couple kayaks in/on a TC and cruising to the local holes...

Well...I do plan on a Great Loop trip as well. Keys are close enough for a 4-5 day outing, and the Bahamas are a quick drive across the state. So a trailerable livein is ideal. Ranger Tug would be ideal for that. You can see I'm somewhat all over the map. However, being realistic, on a more...

Yeah...I've looked at the Ranger 27, yet somehow I keep coming back to the TC. The last one on the For Sale forum was a steal. The dual outboards and +30 knots is what appeals to me. Make those offshore trips very doable. The piece I'm struggling with is the upgrade to a Superduty truck in...

10-4; thanks. I guess the follow up would be how does that compare to the larger 25',26' CDories. Both are up my alley, but the Tomcat really felt like a better fit for my lifestyle. Regardless I'll call Marc.

Anyone have a feel for a) price - base model, no options, but include trailer on a 2015 b) number made per year for the last 5-10 years Just curious as I possibly start "the quest".

Since economy is your main concern and it sounds like you already know that boats are a constant money/time hole there may be one thing that sways your decision on larger boats. If it has a head, galley, and berth a portion of the interest on a loan is deductible. More details here...the...

Not an official c-brat, but am a boater. I found this gizmo years ago and have been pleased with it. Some people debate the merits of using it. Personally I think it does the job just fine for absorbing shock, but the weight of the engine is still on the transom. I don't have to trailer far...

From the museum of what it's worth...I use a side imaging to spot fish but big ones...tarpon. Here's my review of the Humminbird 598. It was written geared towards smaller craft/kayakers. If money is available I would get the biggest screen you can afford. The 598 is a 5" screen -...

How about posting some pics of fish when done? Just to come clean here. I don't own a C-Dory, but do fish a ton in my bay boat. For this thread most of the thoughts are equally applicable. Usual rules...boat plan, weather, communication... apply on any boat. I find the site very useful...

Yeah...I believe we had 6,500 lightning strikes in Tampa a day or so ago. Pretty impressive to watch; we also get those 30-50mph winds almost daily somewhere around here - right around 3/4pm, but it can be very localized. Heck this morning it downpoured about 1" of rain about a block away -...

It's all about the risk/reward...so some questions: - if you have younger kids (say < 14) you might think twice about going solo - if you have a wife you'll want life insurance paid up; this assumes you're the major bread winner, but regardless, you'll want to take care of her; and yes she'll...

Received the gizmos and promptly filled one up with air and tossed it in the pool. Left it powered up for 5 hours at night and it was still going strong - not as strong as the start, but strong. I suspect chlorine isn't good for them, but let's see if it deteriorates. I'll do it a several...

Order the Sunbright ones. Has great potential for many uses other than standard lighting - like tie it and throw it overboard to attract small fish, shrimp lights, backup anchor light...

X2...I never get that many miles out of mine.

Trailer lights (wiring, ground), bait well motor, bilge... not as applicable here but electric trolling motor.

Woke up this morning and had a strong cup of Joe...on the way to work I saw a major fire; outside a woman was yelling "Save my Kittens"; the firemen said no one should go in. I told him that I was a C-Dory owner and I was going in. 7 Kittens later and many accolades ("Thank God a C-Dory owner...

Funny that I should see this here. Our fishing club (Southshore Anglers) meets at that location every first Thursday of the month. I went there last week and saw that the Sunset grill has fully embraced the calamity by creating a new menu item called the "Shipwreck Stew". The damage was...
