Thataway, Jennykatz reported "chasing that Gremlin" and I assumed "that Gremlin" was a sputtering engine at times (apparently after running awhile, hence the coils warmed up) and not a sputtering engine when running off the port tank all the time. Jennykatz can clarify that for us. Jay

Jennykatz, Sounds like a bad coil or bad coils which do that after heating up. But seems like engine diagnostic computer readout should tell you that. Jay

Martin, Your picture #5 of Texada, Lund......... shows the motor a little better. Jay

Have a dinghy but no motor. I am considering a Suzuki 2.5 hp which is spec'd at 29 pounds (so maybe 32 pounds or so). I'm thinking of making a mount on the bow rail at a stanchion. The question is "is it sturdy enough?" It would help with the weight forward rather than more stern weight. What do...

Upper helm

Lower helm

I will take some and post them. It will be a couple of days as I have to set up a photo album which I should have done years ago. Jay

I have a Yakima rack on my CD-22 but no box. I have a high top and had to use towers (by Yakima) to get the cross bars above the top. Also had to bend the gutter clamps sightly to get them on the roof rails. Also had to bend (in a vise) the wrench that tightens the towers and cross bars to the...

I have two storage boxes spanning across the rear of the cockpit making one level bench (lower than the gunnel top) gunnel-to-gunnel and 3 can comfortably sit on them or one can lie on them. I also have a folding stool (Walmart) that I use for a third seat in the isle for the dining table or for...

Looks to me like it might also double as a preventative to keep pvc guide posts (TC 24 photo) or carpeted positioning boards (SpeedLiner photo) from rubbing wear marks on the hull sides when trailering. Jay

Harvey, No arguments with you, actually full agreement. Who really knows what was going on in Richardson's mind. And life is too political these days so I almost didn't post my opinions. Jay

Thataway wrote "In this case the actions of the Chief of Naval operations seems to have put his thumb on the scales of justice...But the chain of command does hold those at the top responsible for the actions of their subordinates all of the way down.", so that means to me that Richardson was as...

Didn't see many PFDs? :roll: Jay

Salt water issue; boat Lake Superior and have no issues (like that, 😁). Jay

I think what I'm missing is that the hole in the glass is 2" diameter. I was assuming that the glass hole was the original bolt hole and the balsa core was chewed out to 2" diameter and filled with epoxy by surgical tricks. Thanks, Jay

"Sanding a taper" is just tapering through the gel coat to the first layer of glass? Then you build up more glass to strengthen? Then you don't "sand flush" because that would take most of the new glass out. Of course this leaves you with a non-flush surface to mount your engine or whatever to...

If you grind down the fiberglass (say 4" diameter), taper it, patch the area, and sand flush, I don't get what you gained - you just filled in what you ground out, how is that stronger than the original? What am I missing? Jay

Thataway, Yes, a picture please. Jay

Thataway wrote "If you only want a temporary addition, then I would just join the two lines with a bowline in each rope--and interweave the bowlines, with a square knot" I think I get the interweave bowlines - with rope 1 make a bowline with a loop, run rope 2 through the rope 1 loop and tie a...

Tom, Why a color monitor for tire pressure and temperature? Seems like black and white would be adequate. Jay
