Does anyone know where I might find a replacement lens for the Bomar Hatch on our 22' Dory / 1995? On various sites, I can find other replacement lenses or new hatches, but not the lens for this hatch. Can anyone confirm that the hatch on our boats is the BOM-N203910A? I can only find a...

Has anyone been able to identify this seat or the manufacturer? Tad

Playin Hookey / Natural C-lection, The SS rack that you see on the Liberty Call is now part of the Comfy Dory. I purchased it a few years ago from the gentleman (Mike as I remember) who purhchased the Liberty Call. He disassembled it a shipped it to me in FL. The rack is made from stock...

We spent an afternoon at the Marina in Fernandina a couple of years ago while I changed out some fuel lines that I thought were leaking. The Dock Master was very helpful and let me tie off with no fee while Toby went into town to explore. Afterward, we had lunch in their excellent restaurant...

Charlie, I believe you have it right! Had a chance to work on the overheating problem again this past weekend. We left on Thursday for a long weekend down in Ft. Pierce. I got nervous before our trip and bought a NEW t-stat for the Honda 75. Put it in after I had flushed with SaltAway and...

I wanted to follow up on the issue of my engine overheating. I bought a new thermostat and gasket for the 2004 Honda BF75A. While talking to the parts man, he told me about a company in Jupiter, FL that makes several boat products. The company is Woody Wax and they make several products for...

Question for Dr. Bob, How can muriatic acid be added to the flush water when using a muff type unit to flush the engine while running? I just started using the muff to add Salt Away by attaching the Salt Away dispensing unit between the muff and the water hose. I do this in addition to...

CaptMac, I have a 2004 75 HP Carbeurated Honda with approx. 700 well maintained hours and have been dealing with the same issue for the last 2 years! Very frustrating! When it first happened, I went through the entire list of fixes. Replaced the water pump impeller and thermostat first...no...

I wanted to relate our experience with Bob / FtBiggy last summer when we spent a week cruising the Sanibel, Captiva, Charlotte Harbor and Pine Island Sound area. I too had sent in an inquiry to the C-Brats about the availibilty of secure parking for our truck and trailer in the Ft. Myer's area...

John, On the Comfy Dory, we have a Garmin 498 that is mounted on the dash above the steering wheel. Our compass sits to the right of that nearer to the window and the dash under the front window is clear. Repair small holes with white Marine Tex...very easy and you only have to make up small...

We use a Zenith 5000 BTU AC unit from Home Depot. $100. Installed through the front window with a length of AC foam across the top and 2" 3M tape down the sides. We use the EU 1000 to run it with an extended run fuel tank to eliminate getting up the in the middle of the night to fill the...

On our 22' Comfy Dory, we took the "cheap route". Buy 2 nice fabric shower curtains with a seashore or other water based scene. Cut one horizontally in 3 even strips. Hem tops and bottoms as required and sew button holes in the 2nd strip to match those on the top strip. Install the 3M self...

Saw a 25' cruiser traveling north on the ICW past the City of Cocoa, FL @ 10:30 or so on Super Bowl Sunday. Too far away to make out the color of the feature stripe or to read the name. Tad

Thanks Mike, We also look forward to meeting you all. Time seems to pass so quickly nowadays that it is right around the corner. How far have you all traveled south on the River? We have done extensive exploring as far south as Lake Hell n Blazes although it was in a smaller boat and at...

Mike, Toby and I are looking forward to our St. John's trip again this year. We plan on launching again this year on Lake Harney the day after Christmas, leaving our truck and trailer at the Jolly Gator restraunt compound and cruising for a week. We will travel at least up to Palatka before...

Toby and I and the Comfy Dory just returned Saturday the 25th from a full week on the west coast of Florida. We trailered the boat across the state on Sat. the 18th and met Bob Bigelow's brother David at Bob's house. David rode to the launch @ Punta Rassa with us and then took our truck and...

Joel, Our 1995 22' had the rail pretty loose when we bought it and I added a few bumps myself. I posted pictures of the rub rail repair in our album. Really a pretty easy project and I would suggest that you replace all the rivets with SS bolts and washers while you are working on it. An...

Thanks Chris for the link to the Defender website. They had exactly what I was looking for. I ordered (2) 24" handles today. $92.23 for the pair including shipping. Tad
