Looks like an impressive set up. I also use the pivoting roller, and like it. However, if you go that route, I strongly recommend you make provision for pinning it down so that it functions as a single piece while underway. Otherwise, you will be risking the anchor pounding off the bow of the...

Thank You Roger & Steve, I just spoke with Tom at Bolton Stainless. After I receive my boat. I just need to take measurements and e-mail them to him. Great price!!! You guys saved me a bundle. Bill S. :D :D :D

Great Roger, That's the second plug that I received from Bolton. I already saw that thread on the leaks, saw your install, and loved it-A good solution. I suppose that you got a great deal on that arch too? Bill

Steve, Sounds great!!! Thanks. I just googled them, doesn't look like they have a website. Do you have their zip code or city so that I can look them up on the yellow pages. Thanks, Bill S.

Thanks guys, But I think that before I pay to have that thing shipped from the mainland, I need to see if someone is willing to actually take the dimensions that I mentioned above, and make sure that the mounting brackets will not be directly overlying any bulkheads or handrails. I believe...

O.K. Based on the wonderful feedback and information that I have received thus far, I have decided to go with the following anchor set-up on my CD 22 : 22-27# Bruce Type Anchor 25-30 Feet of 1/4# chain As much nylon rode as I can fit in a modified rode locker(will shoot for 600'). For the...

I've seen those detachable fold-up seats that are seen mounted on the bulkheads here. Was wondering whether or not they could be attached to the sides of the cockpit, below the gunwales. I think that they would make great little removable fighting chairs, especially with the gimballs attached...

I'm still waiting for my 1994 22' cruiser to arrive from Honolulu, and found a beautiful radar arch for about $860, and can't tell from the line drawings if it is the right size so I was wondering if anybody could tell if it would fit, making sure that installation will not be hindered by the...

That's great that there is now Navtex support. I have been looking at the little furuno jobber that receives navtex text messages. Does anybody know what Navtex receivers this would work with?

I'm looking at a few of the Horizon 600 models on E-Bay. There seems to be 3 different models(Freefall, Gypsy Only, and gypsy plus Drum. Pretty good prices for new at around $500. Will let you know what I do. Thanks Again, Bill

Great, Thanks Mark. That bit of info will be quite handy. Bill S.

Thanks for the input guys. So far its been very illuminating. Tom, be sure & let me know how your experience is with the Powerwinch. It will be interesting to see how it goes after seeing what Tom went through with his. What will be your Anchor/rode set-up? It sounds like Tom was pulling...

I am researching my anchoring set-up right now. I have never used a windlass to anchor and so I am trying to decide between a freefall style vs. power down. I need to be able to run all anchoring operations from the helm. since I anticipate that I will most often be anchoring solo. I am...

I've been doing some research on which anchoring system to go with on my C-Dory 22. After looking through this site, it seems that most of the C-Dory owners are either using the 22# Bruce type anchor or the 14# Delta. I found the links below that discuss the "Max" anchor and there seems to be...

Yeah, very enticing, we definately could troll along the way. The Mahi action has been good lately. Also, I think that the plane tickets over here should be down given that Spring Break has passed and summer has not arrived yet. I'm looking at Raymarine E & C Series packages. Maybe can get...

Sure we could troll for Marlin along the way, although I'm not really sure what we would do with such a large fish...maybe sleep in the V-Birth? :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am re-posting this portion of a previous post here, since I should have made 2 separate posts with my prior posting. I am the proud owner of a C-Dory(I am thelucky bugger who picked up the 1994 22' cruiser that was for sale in Hawaii). By the way, I did adhere to the advice of others on this...

Mark, have you used that technique with the starboard & 5200 below the waterline? Bill Showalter

I would like to know if there is a way of changing one's username for this website. My current username, Wannabe, needs to be changed now that I am the proud owner of a C-Dory(I am thelucky bugger who picked up the 1994 22' cruiser that was for sale in Hawaii). By the way, I did adhere to the...

I myself plan on mounting a new transducer in the near future. As far as I know, if one is going to use starboard for anything, according to the West Marine catalog, it is nearly impossible to bond it to anything with any kind of marine sealant/adhesive. If anybody out there has been able to...
