Howdy all! Last time I was out the tell tell stop peeing and I don't know the condition of the impeller since I bought her used , sorry "pre-owned". The question is, I am somewhat mechanically inclined, should I attempt to change this or is this best left to a professional It...

I guess I am confused here, are these new boats being sold or not? I was under the assumption they were, apparently they are prototypes that we are discussing. James

Well there you go, thats the market they are aiming for. What sold me on the C-Dory was the user/service friendly nature of the boat. Like someone said, a " volkswagen of the sea". What you are seeing is a aircooled being transitioned into water cooled. Bottom line. Like a previous...

reminds me of my trip back home New Years day....LOL James

This is pretty cool... http://www.pixelparadox.com/seastorm_3d.htm

oooohhh the wallas, I hear they are great! Mine was not working (never did work right) so I sent to scan marine, $ 275 later got it back, still don't work. Talked to Mike at SM and he gave me a few things to try. I will try the ideas he gave me, I hope they work, NOT looking forward...

Bob, interesting, I never thought of the negative implications of a sea anchor. Spending 3 1/2 hours in some 4-6 footers that were very confused(after a storm ), coming home from a town north of us New Years day. I would like to know what would be the result of losing complete power in such...

I guess my concern with crimped joints in a wet environment (ie bilge pump) has been with moisture intruding into the connection. Good point though, I never thought about the stranded vs solid wire factor. James

of course, if I need a inline joint, I will reluctantly use a butt connection, then back fill the openings with liquid tape also. James

Interesting, maybe because most do not fill them with liquid electric tape. I would not use them either if not for the hermetically sealing propertys of the the liq. tape. I would like for someone to explain to me the deficiencies of such a electric connection. James

I have found in most cases I use a wire nut( what I call it) filled with liquid tape. I cannot imagine a better connection for most applications. built in stress relief, VERY tight , and impervious to moisture, vibration. James

pretty shot heading to sleeping cove

Pat & Patty (BIG CYBER HUG)!:hug James

Mike, you are one brave man OR you have a really good insurance policy. got to get a float switch. also in regards to bilge pumps, everything I read points to most pumps being woefully inadequate. I have the 2200 on my 22 ft. http://www.johnson-pump.com/JPMarine/pr ...

I am always interested in how people define "livable wage". That seems to be a catch word that is thrown around a lot. James

Thanks all! I knew I could count on this group to help me out with my question. James

Guinness for me! James

This being my first outboard,( had I/O's before) what is the consensus on shifting in and out of gear. Slow grindy or fast and thud? James
