    Rub rail - slit behind rail

    Just finished drilling out all the rivets. 29 of them. Didn't want to go the route of grinding down the material inside and pushing the rivet bodies through due to dust cleanup then. Probably going to go the machine screw/washer/nut route, but will decide that based on what is available at the...

    Rub rail - slit behind rail

    Resurrecting this thread, as it seems to be more recent than the ones from 10 years ago. I had the tailend of my starboard front section of rub railing pop away from the boat last week. This was just about under my forward cleat, or next to the cabin helm. Pulling the rubber insert out, I...

    Battery group size

    FWIW, on my 25, I run one group 24 or group 27 marine starting regular flooded wet cell battery. Then I have two group 31 AGM's in parallel for my house batteries. I was using two group 29 flooded wet cell batteries up until a month ago. The Fwc have worked fine for me in the past, but I...

    New '05 25 Cruiser owner in Vermont

    Welcome aboard C-Brats. I like the name C-Shepherd. I can't say that I've ever seen or heard that name. You could probably just do a search here on C-Brats for C-Shepherd or Tiger, and see if anything pops up. Colby

    My AIS-800 is hiding from me!

    It would be illegal for the end user to do that reprogram. I don't think the manufacturers or dealers would be willing to give any info out on how to reprogram the MMSI number.

    My AIS-800 is hiding from me!

    Quick question. I'm assuming you purchased the boat used and the MMSI registration was created by the previous owner. Have they transferred that number to you? The AIS-800 is a small box that I think would be mounted near easy access to the antenna and NMEA system. Since it has some indicator...

    It's those damn disc brake calipers again

    Just to reiterate a couple of points. First, regarding the rattle springs. I did have a situation in the past where all four had disappeared over time. However, after making the statement with the more recent issue, checking the brakes in the past week with the wheels pulled, I found only one...

    types of flooring for a 25 ft cruiser

    I too have used the American Floor Mat, and had it in C-Traveler's cabin for 3 or 4 seasons, but it started to unravel somewhat, and leaving strands behind when I took it out to clean it. As the old adage says, you get what you pay for. I replaced it with the decadence last year. I had the...

    types of flooring for a 25 ft cruiser

    Deckadence is very nice. A little pricey, but worth it. Easy to clean and will also let dirt and water flow thru it. I have purchased mine through Jim's Marine Flooring, as he can also sell scraps he has on hand for cheaper than a full piece would cost. It's easy to cut and fit. Here is a...
