Finally got a chance to start installing the new cabinet in the boat today. First I cut a hole in the side wall to allow access to the exhaust outlet. With the cabinet in place all I have to do now is trim the exhaust pipe, connect it and two electrical connections then route my fuel lines to...

Cut opening to route exhaust pipe.

With cabinet in place.

I'm the same way. When he told me he was transferring to Iowa I asked him what in the heck the Coast Guard had for him to do in Iowa. He did bring me some nice geodes from there though. :P

Lots of corn, but a serious bit of water too. The Coast Guard has a 65 footer with a home port in Iowa. http://www.uscg.mil/d8/sectumr/Prevention/scioto.asp I said much the same thing you did several years ago when my brother, who was in the Coast Guard at the time, told me he was going to be...

The cabinet is finished. Now all I have to do is drop in the stove, put it in the boat and hook up the electrical, fuel, and exhaust. Open: And closed. I know, the brass latch and aluminum handle clash. My wife will be sure to inform me of that as soon as she gets back from visiting my...

Open

Closed

Thanks, that is helpful to know. I'm going to butt it up to the rear bulkhead then with some of that 3M goop. Two coats of paint. Tomorrow a light sanding, a third coat of paint and then to the boat.

Two coats of paint, almost finished

I'm putting a half inch lip on the rear edge of the cabinet to keep most spills from dripping down the back side, but if that doesn't work the drawer will come right out allowing easy access for clean up. Mainly I just want to vent any heat buildup since I'll be using the drawer right under the...

Having never passed through a lock myself I was wondering if it is possible when single handing? Can a single person do it or does it take at least two?

No problem, glad to help. And no crack in the stanchion, turns out that was the reflection of my cell phone from taking the picture. I couldn't figure out what it was till I pulled out my phone to take another picture and the "crack" magically reappeared.

Yes, just aluminum drop in frames with Starboard drop in covers. I don't recall seeing any brand name or logo on them but I'll take a closer look the next time I'm down at the storage lot and get back to you. C-Dory would probably tell you where they get them. I'm sure they just buy them rather...

While it may add some stiffness to the bow I doubt if it adds much. The current 22 Angler doesn't have any foam in the bow at all. As you can see from the pictures below the area below the berths is all open and accessible via three hatches (not air tight) under the berth mattresses. There is an...

Well, I've finally gotten around to raising the stove. Having a bit of 1/2" plywood and some 1" aluminum angle in the garage I pieced together the uprights and top to see how it would fit in the boat. I plan to leave a 1 1/2" gap at the back of the cabinet to allow for air intake needed for...

Fitting the cabinet

As the weather is starting to warm up and my new boat has never been waxed it is getting time to get it done. I have a question about wax on the textured areas of the foredeck. It looks like it will be a major pain to get the dried wax out of those little crevices, the "wipe on, wipe off" won't...
