    Just purchased my first Dory!

    Have you physically seen this boat, and/or paid for it? Your quick description matches a craigslist ad that was using another members photo of his boat which isn't for sale. Here is the C-brats post: http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=23407 Here is the original craigslist post...

    2003 yamaha f40 impeller change

    I have always done the maintenance on my outboards and I know I should do the impeller every year but they always look brand new so I do it every 2 years. My port yamaha overheated because it was not cooling and it ruined a day on the water. Luckily I have twins so getting easy was fine even...

    Repowering. Lower HP

    If your happy with your 40 you currently have, an all around better option IMO is purchasing and installing a kicker to use on those lakes. This does several things. Gives you a backup motor, saves money on initial expense and gas, allows you to still have your larger hp main to help power you...

    blue sea systems new product. DC voltage/current meter

    Thank you. The 702 model should fit my needs and save me $100. Nice to know its reliable. I couldn't find the dimensions on it. Does anybody have them? I assume it mounts as it looks in the picture so I"m just looking for a diameter.

    blue sea systems new product. DC voltage/current meter

    I have been needing to get a bettery monitor, and saw this a while back. It is now finally available but on the $$$$ side. I do like that it also measures the current of the selected battery as well. What are others using? Is this worth the $320 or is there a less expensive option that is...

    Sealing Starboard for transducers

    Thanks for the response. Yes, the white fill is thickened epoxy. I do always fill the holes flush but it seems sometimes they don't end up completely flush after curing, leavings some dimples as you see in the pic. The hole in question I don't think is even 1/8" deep and also probably has...

    Sealing Starboard for transducers

    This is an update to my original post and a question. Update: It kept bothering me thinking of the 5200 coming loose and not keeping a seal with all of the old original transducer holes I filled with it when I mounted the starboard. Because of this I removed everything and decided to...

    How many batteries?

    A lot of good input here. I went through this a while back and this is what I ended up doing because I was strict on keeping the batteries in the Starboard Lazarette. I have 2 group 29's (very tight fit) with the blue sea systems add a battery system. The running lights and cabin lights are...

    Raymarine st6002 autopilot issues

    Ok, So i took the boat out again and used autopilot and for the most part it worked fine. With strong winds while trolling it just couldn't do the job, but I assume this is a common issue. My diagnosis of the problem: I installed an add a battery kit from blue sea systems with the ACR. When...

    Raymarine st6002 autopilot issues

    My boat was purchased with a working Raymarine st6002 autopliot system. Hydraulic lines are labeled sea sytem with a type II pump and a Hynautic bar across the back transom. Yesterday out on the water it kept failing and defaulting back to standby. I took a closer look today and the pump is...

    Finished Product Transom Table/Cooler Rack

    I finished my transom table/cooler rack. This idea was given to my CARPY and the table that he built. It is the same design but different materials. I decided to go with this design because it is the most versatilefor me. It adds a lot of usable space to the boat. Gets the cooler off the...

    Cooler Rack

    I am getting all materials necessary tomorrow to make and install a table on the splashwell very similar to Carpys. I am sizing it to fit a YETI 110 which will also have a cutting board on the top of that. I am going to make the table out of 1" starboard with 1/2" borders. I plan on using SS...

    Cooler Rack

    Carpy, I do like your table, as it seems to be the most universal. I might consider making mine out of starboard. Where did you purchase the transom bar? Thanks!

    Cooler Rack

    Thank you for the replies. For the majority of my fishing trips I do the sun on the cooler and the access into the boat is not a problem. The permatrims are useful as a nice step but I have the Garelick 4 step ladder which works great. The cockpit turns in to valuable space and getting the...

    Cooler Rack

    I have researched a lot of Splashwell modifications on this site. I have finally decided for my needs a cooler rack with a cutting board custom mounted on top of cooler is the best fit for my needs. I was originally going to customize it from scratch something similar to this: pic a few posts...

    Launching in Low water levels

    I wanted to follow up on this post. I just got back from Eagle Lake. Beautiful place with good fishing. The boat was very easy to launch and retrieve even with just a few feet of concrete ramp left. Not sure the exact depth boat floated off trailer but was around 2 to 2.5ft. The trailer had...
