    Permanant registration?

    Localboy's first name is Mark and he's a police officer. I believe you are responding to a comment directed at the other Mark on the thread.

    Fish Box Macerator Pump

    My Whale Gulper Grouper pumps are still going strong after 3 years. They are slower than the Johnson macerator pumps but appear to last much longer (in my experience, your mileage may vary).

    Factory Electrical Panel bad crimps

    For marine use stranded wires are the ABYC standard as that allows the wire to flex better in the high vibration environment of a boat. Soldering as the sole method of connection is discouraged as it essentially takes the stranded wire and converts the soldered section into a rigid section...

    CD 25 Cruise Ship Lois Chair

    The Ranger Tugs have a reversing front seat similar to that design and I think I've seen it on some other boats also.

    Factory Electrical Panel bad crimps

    I bought my 22 from the factory and rec'd it in 2002. They were also my dealer. The wiring they did at that time didn't have any problems (other than not much was documented).

    VBerth Electrical-area cover thingy

    I always liked that mod. I copied it for my 22. Didn't do quite as nice a job as Bruce, but liked the result.

    Factory Electrical Panel bad crimps

    I retract that - from an early post (2014) by CDory23 - he indicates that "I bought my 2003 22' C dory Cruiser with twin Yamaha 40's yesterday and I'm excited. It was a one owner boat and came from the factory with Furuno Radar/gps/sonar. Raymarine auto pilot, and VHF Radio all installed...

    The merits of a good dealer- SportCraft

    How are they on pricing for engine maintenance? High, typical, low?

    This is a beautiful thing.

    My guess would be that he is using the Yamaha NMEA 2000 output directly to the chart plotter. His engine has a NMEA 2000 output connector and, with the correct cable, that can be hooked directly to the plotter. The fuel flow sensor is internal to the engine. I'm unfamiliar with how that is...

    How much boating experience before you bought your C-Dory?

    My experience prior to buying a CD-22 was pretty limited - canoes and small (<14') open aluminum boats on fresh water. I spent a lot of time looking at boats and on the C-Brat site. After awhile, I became convinced that a C-Dory was the right combination of comfort, practicality and resale...

    The future of salmon in Puget Sound

    Yes, WA state runs being interdicted before they return. That is a large part (but not the only part) of the problem. ALL of the parts of the problem are ultimately political. Science can provide information on cause of problems and the likely effect of given policy changes but any policy...

    The future of salmon in Puget Sound

    Fishing. Specifically commercial fishing (native and non-native). The data that demonstrates this loss of returning fish is based on tags in hatchery fish recovered in Alaska and BC.

    The future of salmon in Puget Sound

    I'm not disagreeing with you JD, but we don't fish on the carrying capacity of the streams but rather the returns. If the returns were to exceed the carrying capacity (typically due to hatchery enhancement), we'd be catching more fish. When most of the fish disappear in the Alaska and BC...

    The future of salmon in Puget Sound

    There are many, many issues that contribute to the decline of fish in the Puget Sound (and elsewhere) and some of the most obvious ones have been mentioned above - habitat degradation an loss, local commercial fishing (tribal and non-tribal), increased efficiency of both the recreational and...

    Non-C-Dory boat. I like everything except for it's style

    The specs on this boat (the Great Harbor) seem overly optimistic. I don't believe it's possible to produce a 35'8" long x 10' beam boat that only displaces 6500 lbs.
