Surprisingly I found that a product made for teak deck caulking bonded very strongly with the hypalon (and...

    Gulf Coast John, 35 mph? hardly, more like 15kts/hr for 7 hrs. Fuel economy a must.

    We just crossed over from Sonora, Mex. to Baja, I can't think of doing it without an autopilot. Feasible but painful.

    Did I Screw Up? And How Do I Fix It?

    A related question: Does the hydraulic fluid expands and contracts with ambient temperatures? I have a clear tube connecting the steering pump to the filling cap on top of dashboard, it does not come straight down but makes a curve sideways so I can see the fluid. I refilled to the top this fall...

    Need trailer for C-Dory 25

    Yes, that's the same Model #. Did they give you a choice of tires?

No damage was done to the actuator itself I think (HydraStar) but I had to...
