My "clone project" is already stewing, few other things to finish up before I can tackle a windlass. Thank you Al for the inspiration!! That's very cool. Thank you Bob for getting pics up. A few more questions:: Could not find the winch at Costco.com. Is it a small bumper winch for a ATV or...

Sea-C Another " thanks" for this. I'm stilling hoping someone with more tech skills than I will help you get pics up for this. It sounds like it should be there for future reference. In the meantime I'll PM you for the pics. What motor did you use? Where did you get it? Have you used it yet...

Hi Sherpa owner ( sorry don't know your name) Sounds like she's found a good home--a long way from San Francisco Bay area!! When I got my C-Dory a few years back I looked at Sherpa. At the time she was new on the market -a really nice refurb job. Unfortunately the ôwner was asking more than I...

Received my burgee yesterday. Looks great! Adding my voice to the chorus: "Thank you, Bill !!"

Ground fault protection is even more important on a boat than in your house---the chance of an accident is more likely due to h2o being ever present. (Granted not having it around a bath or sink would be just as dangerous!!!! GFCI's are required by both land and marine codes and protect in...

I have a '07 EZLoader TEZR with 32 rollers and side bunks. So far I've not had much experience with it ( with retirement upon me I hope to rectify that this next year!!!!) but so far my few times with it have been just fine--the trailer does have long side bunk boards which seem to keep the "22"...

Once again, way to go--thank you!!!! My C-Dory is a great boat, I love it. This web site and group is frosting on the cake--really good frosting!!

Larry This a great question and most timely for me. Looking forward for more replies. Size, battery life, floating vs non and other features(esp.for inclusion in a ditch bag or on lifevest. Be great to hear what others have done. Lot of choices out there esp.for handhelds--PLB a little easier...

I agree too--but either way is great!! Thank you all for all your work and contributions!!

I think that the "off-1-both-2" switches have juice going thru them all the time when going from 1to both to 2 but you never want to shut them to off when the engine is running as this will fry something. I have had both a Perko and now a Blue Seas that are this way (I think this is called "make...

C-Nile You're right! The only thing worse than barnacles on your bottom is barnacles on your unit!! :mrgreen:

Martin, I can't see any reason why a GFI extension cord wouldn't be fine as you propose to use it. The outlet I have in the cabinet under the stove is really a short extension cord with a GFI and circuit breaker and two protected outlets at one end. I cut the male plug off the other end and...

" ------------ Right on!!!!! Around water with 120v a GFI is a must--people have died for lack of one. Saftey on boats requires preparation and fore thought. I copied the set up Dr.Bob has with only a GFI outlet under sink. Simple and safe!

Dave, That's really nice--- my favorite so far!!!

Come on gang-a poll to decide is too easy! We're not going to wimp out before we get to 11 pages are we? How about a poll to see if we do a poll!!! :? Onward!!

I really do like the "caricature" c-dory on this latest idea best. Not sure about the double "CB" but I get the concept(need to explore possibilities more??). I would like and use a C-Brats burgee and/or how about a decal?

Sunbeam, I should have known with your attention to detail and great writing/descriptive ability that your post about your maiden voyage would be such a good read! Thank you and congratulations on a successful day. Knew you would do well but enjoyed post of your heartfelt insecurity about...

As an x-sailer(racer) I agree with Sea Wolf Joe. It was part of my life but circumstances have changed. I do miss it. Safety is a topic we need pay attention to. Murphy's Law certainly applies to boats (I think it was written for boats!). Sooner or latter problems arise either through our own...

Ah!!--but that old grass grew so lushly!! Sure it was a bit esotric bu so what?? Were's Popeye when we need him? Why must everything get big TV ( or online) audience. Like the Olympics this has just become another big promotion to make yet more money. It is exciting and like I said I will go...
