Doesn’t bode well for us then…..we always seem to have a critter on board and I don’t/can’t cook. Still, my goal someday is to make sure we visit your “camp” some day. I personally don’t know anyone more fun than you Pat. Peace and joy to you, James

Helps a lot to pull the sink out first. It was easier for me to work on the breaker panel from under the kitchen cabinet and with the sink out I could access it from the top. Just wasn’t enough play in the wiring to do it by pulling the panel out from the front. James

Hi Les and Kel.... Last we saw you was in the free marina in Jacksonville,FL back in March. You've sure covered some ground and water since then! Very much enjoyed following along your adventure and appreciate all the effort and time it takes to post it. Kudos to you both and welcome back to...

Beware of those little indicator lights. I've had to replace a couple that burned out. In other words, never assume because there is no light that there is no power. And it's worth repeating....AC black is HOT, DC black is ground....don't ask how I know even though I've known it my entire life...

Hey All... I'm always impressed how you guys really get around. My day will come, lol. Special regards to Pat Clow if you see her on your way back. Looking forward to your story telling at Hontoon! James

These are the original brackets that came with our boat in July 2002. http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_ ... _album.php They do not hinge. James

On my boat there are NO drain plugs. I’d be hard pressed to reach the bilge without tying a pole to the sponge in order to get down there. To do any work on the bilge pumps i have to remove the hatches, disconnect the batteries and stand on my head. Even then it’s barely workable. A royal...

Mercury's were my first choice but the dealer with the best price was miles away and a real hassle to get to. 6 miles from my house was a Suzuki dealer, motor at a good price. They gave me a break on the rigging cost and were nice people to deal with so that clinched the deal for me. Best of...

I repowered last November from 2003 Honda 90's to 2020 Suzuki 90's. My two main criteria were weight and cost. Motor for motor the Suzuki's are lighter, the price was right. I got better performance and about 20% better fuel economy. Cruise enough and that alone will pay for the motors. Would I...

This all reminds me of when I redid the interior of my boat and adding a rooftop AC unit. Decided to rework some of the DC wiring.....black is always ground. Weeks later as I was doing the wiring, AC, for the air, I'm looking at my breaker panel and think it's wired backwards. Even mention it to...

Dang Mark....Saw your post and decided to check out your pics. Nice job on the boat, and those C-Dory boat models are just awesome!!! Any chance I could commission a couple Molly Brown's? :oops: Sorry for the quick highjack, couldn't resist. James P.S. I should have looked you up as we...

I had to chuckle when I read your post. The solution might appear "interesting" but I can tell you it was expensive, lol. Anyway, I checked around to see what the TC255 owners have and was surprised that none used a solid tie bar even though the motors are mounted on brackets. I suppose if they...

I had that exact same ends on my boat with 2003 Hondas. When I repowered to Suzukis I was unable to find brackets that were long enough to accommodate the tie bar. Mine was 65" long. There was some slop in mine too. There is what I can best describe as a "wavy" washer that is supposed to go...

John's response is why I didn't immediately respond...the guy is a wealth of information! I do confirm only ATT cell service worked for us in the Everglades but not everywhere, and yes, the tower is at the Flamingo Marina. We found that out years ago because we have Verizon service that does not...

Thanks for that tip Bob, I wasn't aware of that. My concern with the ARB is it appears to be made of plain steel whereas the Engel is galvanized. We stand on ours getting in and out of the boat so durability is important. I ended up with the ARB and Engel mainly because of the power consumption...

Many thanks for the replies and a few pm's. Though the Dometic is highly rated I'm stuck deciding between an Engel or ARB. I'll be buying soon and it all may boil down to availability. James

On our 2003 TC24 the bulkhead is cored but the cabin top in not. James
