We have radar mounted on an arch. We also have a 110W solar panel. The panel is a semi-flex panel that I put on the roof when we anchor out. It's held down by simple web straps with snaps that go around the roof hand rails. When not needed, it's stored standing up in the head. On a 22...

IIRC it's a 7200 lb trailer. No way to confirm now as the sticker with serial number, model number etc has long ago faded to illegible. I have no idea on tongue weight, but I suppose I could weight it somehow. Truck weighs about 7600 lbs (full liquids, empty of humans and no gear). Weighed...

I simply re-padded ours with better quality foam and added two SS hinges on the front so it flips up against he helm wheel. I used to bottom out on the wood because the foam was crappy and not nearly dense enough. No more.

Out boat was loaded up for a trip so I finally took advantage and put it on a WASDOT scale near our house. The scale is used by the WSP for truck weight enforcement. However, I don't think they've used it for a few years. I can only assume it's correct or close. I disconnected the coupler...

I installed a very basic system a few years ago. One 110 watt "semi-flexible" panel that is stored standing up in the head. I employ the "curtain" to hold it up. This year I added an acrylic "green house" panel to the rear of it to help with cooling. The panel consists of myriad small...

boat and trailer weight on a WASDOT truck scale

Yes, thanks. I used red high strength upon assembly.

Thanks. I’ll give it a shot.

Old thread: We went to use our boat and I discovered fluid down the port rear wheel and a blown caliper the cause. Removed the wheel to diagnose the problem and found the one pad had worn so much that the piston pushed past its limit and leaked. I suspect that caliper was “dragging” for an...

Can easily fit two?maybe three.

5.3 gallons

I have contemplated adding an additional water tank to the void under the V berth on our ‘07 25 Cruiser. Water, fuel & ice are always our limiting factors when out on longer trips and we enjoy being on the hook vs always in marinas. I added a solar panel system for the same reasons. After...

Me too. Old habits die hard...

I used marine ply that has a white surface for the shelf itself and used teak for the front face. Teak was pricey. One could use other types of wood like mahogany; probably less boat units. I coated it with teak oil. Nice soft, warm sheen.

It’s the most near horizontal colored surface so it takes a brunt of the sun etc. Our black brow will always haze the quickest of all the color in the boat. From my car resto days; white shows the least degradation due to pigments in the paint. Red the most. The pigments needed to make red...

The only solutions to both issues are this: replace all hatches with one that don’t leak. Here is the hatch replacement for the 25. I’ve done it and they are a massive improvement. http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=26390&highlight=hatches I know the 22 hatches have also been covered ad...

Expensive mistake.
