When I use mine, it is mounted on the pulpit rail. I sit on the bow while the grill is in use. When I am finished I hand the food through the center window and shut the grill off to cool. I dismount it and store it under the aft seat. I want as much distance as possible between a grill flame...

The service department manager contacted me yesterday and admitted that they wrote the work order incorrectly. They did perform the additional work, but I will not be charged for it. Therefore, they reduced the labor from 5 hours to 2 hours, which cuts the total bill in half. Thanks for...

Bob The boat was in dry storage, so it was easy to access. I also figured an hour per engine, but I don't get paid by the hour. Anyway, they said that it took 5 hours to complete the work. I was clear that I didn't want anything but the fluids & filter changed, but they didn't listen.

Thanks, I will call another marina or maybe the Honda dealer.

November was a very busy month for me, so I asked my marina to change the oil, filter and gear lube on my Honda 90 and the Honda 8 kicker. As usual, they won't give you a firm price just the hourly rate. I received a bill for $100 in parts and $400 in labor. They didn't follow my instructions...

I am on my second MS S&T package. It has its limitations for highway navigation but it is sure easy to carry, since I have to take my laptop on every trip. The biggest problem is watching the laptop screen while it rests in the passengers seat. Of course if you have a navigator to watch the...

I travel every week; border to border and coast to coast. In four years of using the Verizon service, I am still satisfied with the coverage. As a matter of fact, I am sending this message from my laptop while sitting in a hotel in Portland Oregon. I have used the wireless card many times on the...

When I installed my second pump between the fuel tanks, I used the drain line that was connected to my port side stern compartment. I disconnected the hose from the through hull fitting and connected the bilge pump hose. That way I didn't have to drill another hole in the boat.

According to Gary, the new philosophy at C-Dory is quantity not quality. He said that they were not willing to take as many boats as C-Dory wanted them to take and also Cutter was not promoting the type of boats that C-Dory wants to move, like the 19 footer and the center console.

Sounds like everyone had a great time in Oriental. Sorry we didn't get to the gathering, but the gods of all things mechanical were against this trip. Since the 8 hp kicker wouldn't run, I decided to pull the 5 hp off the skiff I keep tied up in my backyard and put that kicker on the C-Dory. I...

In preparation for the trip south, I fired up the 8 hp Honda kicker. As usual it fired on the first pull and ran like a champ for 2 minutes and then it died. I restarted it and the same thing happened again. Anyway, I am reluctant to make the 185 mile run (each way) without the backup motor...

While the e-mails are showing the gathering to be in September, the Gatherings Calendar lists the dates as 8/21 -23. That would make the gathering in August. Steve

Tracy I keep my boat at Mile Marker 0 on the ICW. Oriental is Mile Marker 182. I will probably split the run into two days, with roughly 90 - 100 mile segments. My waterway guide shows a few locations on the Alligator River, so I will probably spend the night somewhere in that area. I have...

Tracy Thanks for the feedback. My wife and I cruised up the Chesapeake Bay to the Maryland gathering in June. The roundtrip was almost 400 miles, so Oriental seems reasonable. I will put it on my calendar. Steve

What city is closest to Whittaker Point Marina? Steve

I don't use a connect rod, so I can steer by the kicker only if necessary. The knuckle on the tiller allows you to turn the kicker with the main engine down. It is tight, but it works. You can also use the kicker for propulsion and steer by the wheel using the main engine as a rudder. As to...

When I ordered my boat I opted for the ice box under the captain's seat (big mistake because it leaks onto the floor and won't keep ice more than 24 hours) and the rear bench seat which has two stainless steel posts that are removable. At last year's Annapolis Boat Show, I bought a 60 Qt Yeti...

Colleen and I had a great time at Lankford and are looking forward to next year. The trip home was was great. We pulled into Reedville marina on Sunday afternoon and had lunch at the Crazy Crab. Since it was the only restaurant within walking distance, we also had dinner at the Crazy Crab...

Charlie I will be arriving with my wife, Colleen. We will arrive on Friday and depart early Sunday. I won't need launching or trailer storage. I have already made reservations with the marina. I would like to get 2 XL t-shirts. Thanks. See you then. Steve
