On our C-Dory we slept with our heads facing he rear of the boat. I would recommend adding a four inch memory foam available online through Wal-Mart. The kind we purchased had two different layers of memory foam one being more dense than the other. One layer a cream color and the other was a...

I would keep track of the hours you run the boat starting out with full tanks. Then after running the way you normally would for four or five hours; refuel and divide the total fuel added by the hours that you ran to get a rough idea of your fuel burn per hour. Then just keep track of the hours...

My rule of thumb is if I can't hold my hand on a tire I figure something is wrong. I think most people could feel the temperature difference going from tire to tire. I take my first two fingers and place them on the hub. If I can't hold them there because of heat I would surmise there is a...

Jay, I could not help thinking about you just moving up there to Alaska. Good to hear you and Jolee are out an about. The Wallas problem even annoyed me as I can't imagine having to deal with that let alone what you have to go through just get to the actual part. I hope all else goes well. How...

We use the Mustang brand. They have a good name and felt that they will be around after others may not be. IMHO D.D.

We have a 2009 2500 HD Chevy 4x4 with a Duramax diesel / Allison transmission extended cab 8' bed. We don't travel light. It has 70,000 miles as I do not use it as a daily driver. We paid $44,000. It's still looks and runs good Kelly Blue Book still lists it today at being worth $27,000. It's on...

Here we were just hanging around! :wink:

We have been slinged in and out of the water without having sling cutouts on the trailer. They used a forklift to lift up the boat while they slid the canvas type slings under the boat and then had the loops on the top of the slings slid on to the forks of the forklift. They do the same thing...

Larry, You have hydraulic steering. I would first tilt the motor all the way up and look for a grease fitting that is about half way up on the starboard side of the motor looking forward from the rear of the boat. That fitting greases the main vertical shaft that the motor turns from side to...

I don't think anyone who posted and what I believed was jokingly making light of the bubble guy really wanted the guy to just die. I think anyone of us coming upon this guy would have helped him. That's the great part about the forum we sometimes poke a little fun and have different view points...

Ya Mon it's Natural Selection. I hope he didn't have kids. You know the apple does not fall far from the tree.

Towing, at 60 mph and slower, no wind or hills, I average about 12-14, pretty respectable considering I'm towing 4800 lbs. I Colby So what is the towing MPG in the wind and on the hills? D.D.

I would look for a new or used Volkswagen Touareg diesel. The older ones are rated for 7400 pounds the 2015 model is rated for maximum towing at 7716 pounds. I never drove one but rode in one and they are a nice vehicle. The new ones have an E.P.A. mileage listed at 20/29 mpg. The curb weight...

We always used Sim's Yamaha. They are 1/2 the country away but they are the best Yamaha people I have ever dealt with. www.simyamaha.com call toll free 888-231-2392

I use Windows 7 and don't really have a lot of issues. I run free Avira anti virus software. I run Coastal Explorer on a laptop for navigation with a USB type GPS puck and save routes as Windows files. The laptop has a 14" screen so that's a deal for a 14" screen considering what big chart...

Seems like if you want something real good you have to pay for it. These tires require high pressure rims also. I think you inflate them to 110 PSI. http://www.amazon.com/Goodyear-Unisteel ... B004ZW6NYG I think our friend might swing for these high pressure models listed above. He is heading...

Works for us D.D.

There was a ramp right in Bayfield near a fish market. Staring down the hill at Bayfield it was on the right side of town and we stayed at the marina near there right in town which has fuel and they let us store the trailer there. We had a slip with truck parking right behind it. You could walk...

Use WD 40 shot directly into the lock. That lubes the inside of the lock and makes it work easier. D.D.
