    Permatrim

    Just installed one on our 150hp Honda. Haven't put many hours on it as yet but like how it handles. Seems we get up on plan faster and handles a little better at slow speed. We leave Marathon, Fl. for Charleston, S.C. in a couple of weeks and that will really show me how this performs.

    Water under salon deck.

    Just as a follow up, I found a leak in our water supply. What I don't understand is why no blue water showed up. I went through this boat and opened every thing I could to find the leak. There is a ledge just inside the door between the cockpit and the salon. It appears that there was a leak...

    Water under salon deck.

    Thanks for all the replies. I dried the area between the salon floor and the deck than took the hose and sprayed one side at a time to see if any water came in. I waited between each side and no water came in. I even rocked the boat to see if water had was up forward. No water. I Tom a...

    Water under salon deck.

    We have never used our shower, we always use the marinas. I have taken the shower out and checked all the hoses and clamps. That's how I found that there is a space between the out side hull and the inside hull. This space drains into the bilge. It seem to me that there should be a drain...

    Water under salon deck.

    Here in Marathon we haven't had any rain for a couple of weeks. It seem to me that the way the boat was built the space between the salon floor and the deck doesn't drain into the bilge. The sink area is sealed from the bilge as is the water pump. The water pump doesn't cycle at all. I've...

    Water under salon deck.

    I have a 26 Ventura and I keep getting water between the hull and the salon deck. I'm in salt water but the water between the decks is fresh water. I've checked the water system and can't find any leaks. The bilge is dry so what ever water that is between the decks doesn't drain into the...

    More new Garmin: 7", 8", and 9" MFD's

    Sunbeam, for customer repair service Garmin has it way over Raymarine. I've had both and I feel the Garmin is really user friendly over Raymarine. My problem with Raymarine is that they had my chart plotter for over five weeks for repair. Worst part was that no one returned my calls or emails...

    Erie Canal--See-Saw and other boats--my article & photos

    We did the eastern part of the Erie Cannel in 2008 on a 42 ft trawler while doing the loop. Now we have a 26 ft C-Dory and are planning to do the Erie this summer. We want to do the entire cannel. Hope to be up there around the middle of June.

    Georgia coast

    We like the Georgia ICW. Good anchorages and a lot of birds. If you are coming south, come to Marathon, Fl. We'll be here for six months so stop in and say HI. Don't come before Thursday of this week because it's BLOWING.

    C Dory is hardest boat to work on I've ever had

    My wife and I attended an AGLCA rendezvous at Joe Wheeler state park in Al. two week ago. We were docked between to 40 ft. trawlers and we couldn't get over how many people stopped to talk to us about our boat. We completed the loop in 2011 on a 42 ft. trawler and are doing it again on the...

    Raymarine customer service

    Just heard from Raymarine and the chart plotter is fixed and being mailed today. Maybe my contact to the BBB in Concord, N.H. helped a little. Now I can get back to cruising. We will be in Marathon, Fl. starting this Sat., Nov. 1 and we will be there until May. Anyone coming that way stop by...

    Raymarine customer service

    Raymarine customer service

    The people that were at the Lake Powell gathering this year, knew about my chart plotter problem. It quit working just before the gathering. I sent it back to Raymarine from Page, Az. They received it on Sept. 30 and I still don't have it back after four weeks. What's worst is they won't...

    UFP torsion suspension, UFP Vault Hubs/Bearings, brakes ?

    I have a 10,000 lbs. double axle Pacific trailer. It has the Vault hubs and I have not had any problems with it. I have towed my boat from Marathon, Fl. to Lake Powell and back with no problems. I have the hubs checked very year before I start towing long distances. I only have disc surge...

    02/27 - 03/01 - St. John's River Gathering

    We have done the St. Johns in a 42' sundeck trawler in 2011. We now have a 26' Venture C-Dory and would love to do the St. Johns again. We spend the winter in the Keys so coming to Green Cove Springs is no problem. Keep us posted and hopefully we can make it. I know it's a great cruise.

    We hope to be at Lake Powell by the 18th. I still need to buy a fishing licenses. Hope I can buy one there. We are still in Phoenix and will be until Thursday because I had to order an up grade chip for my Chart Plotter. I just hope it all works when I get it. Looking forward to seeing...
