Would think you'd want high thrust... and long shaft like for a sailboat

Like the idea of a stern thruster Had a single inboard convertible And in certain wind situations it was a beyotch to maneuver

Factory service center is here locally But my son-in-law did the one on my Mako and it works just fine

You have to take into consideration the fact that a C-Dory has quite the surface are for wind to push it around I'm thinking for the cost of a power-pole you could easily buy a good windlass

Certainly don't recommend putting acid on stainless but... Thirty years ago I had my boat hauled and there was a Morgan Sailboat nearby. Dude worked for weeks trying to rid the stern from rust stains. Finally told him for $100 I'd clean his transom. Should have seen his face when I sprayed...

My trailer actually has a wash system for the brakes

Just get a covered life raft

Oh, and that's the Gulf of Mexico there in the background Guess I need to photoshop my bow railing into the pic

Dropped the cork off at the shop today Luckily, gave my Mako to the kids Going with them Way too easy

Never heard of such a circumstance Although I can see why Was a desert on the bottom under my boat with bottom paint

Left for a boat trip ten days ago... and didn't check in while out Just ran across this today Although now I am going to Crystal River Monday Need some throttle adjustment myself Would have been glad to help

I've enjoyed mine Put probably 60 hours on it in four months Looking forward to your exploits Alan

That's it Don't want Honda oil Honda dealer is in Crystal River, 30+ miles away Just topped it off with full synthetic Mobil One Didn't need much but I needed something to leave on the boat And this is what I've always run in my other Hondas, cars and motos

West Marine has their own oil And it's a synthetic blend Anybody use it?

Called the folks that serviced my BF-75 They used "Honda" oil 10w-30 Have looked it up online and it's apparently not synthetic which surprises me Of course there's nowhere here locally where I can buy a quart What do I use in its place? Need something now to top off the oil level. Next...

had 140 hp on a 15 foot boat But a C-Dory 22 Nah, rarely get to use all 75 I've got now Have to look more closely at a 23 stern next time Thought for sure it was a self bailing hull

Thought the 23 was self bailing Looked at one at Hontoon and the drains in the transom were under the water line and they weren't on the keel But then it had a lot of extra weight on the stern at that time too

I've looked at them They seem to sit so low I'd think there'd be water intrusion through the self bailing port Like the size and extra weight of the hull Just think it needs some tweeking Like the twin 70s

Off topic but for what reason is the 23 transom so much lower?
