    Here They Come

    notice they never mention the low range at a good speed or the low speed of the high range? just toys for the rich and not much good for anything else. The modern internal combustion engine is so clean and reliable I don't know why this electric engine fade is still pushed. zif you are on a no...

He blew the motor and had to install another one on the trip north, His brother joined him but broke his leg or cut it really bad and...

    PNW 2022, Columbia River and San Juan Islands

    Well I have only used the lift 2 to 4 times in over 20 years. I prefer never to use one. boat ramps are best. but of the 3 boat lifts i know of in this area none will jack your boat up. You have to have slot in your bunk one way or another.

    PNW 2022, Columbia River and San Juan Islands

    Trailer came that way but i would assume ( be careful ) that the factory could tell you. it would be a matter of center of mass, then equal distance from center of mass to divide the boat in thirds to place the two straps. I have only used a lift a few times and hate to watch when we do that.

    raymarine Axiom+ 9 RV - no longer getting chart detail?

    had this problem with an older raymarine and it was the declutter button, which is self hiding and hard to find if you dont know but easy to hit by accident.

    PNW 2022, Columbia River and San Juan Islands

    On my boat trailer the bunks are two layers high. One 2 by 6 over the top of another . where the straps go the bunk is only one board high. So it makes a notch wide enough for the straps.

    I finally have my C-Dory!

    If the water gets to temp your fine. Its just here at my house, and many others, my well water is very cold and the at idle the motor will not heat up. I have tested it. so if I want the thermostats to open i have to increase the RPM. If you have 70 degree water like i did in Sacramento your fine.

    I finally have my C-Dory!

    if this has not been done a lot or you think you have build up I would recommend using salt away. Also remember that you need the thermostats to open or your not getting a good flush. The water from my well is so cold it will never open the thermostats at idle. WITH THE MOTOR IN NEUTRAL. run up...

    Mystery black gunk in cockpit: Filthy bilge?

    best product for getting mold pollen and other junk off your boat is 30 second cleaner. You can get it at home depot and other places. I use it in a garden pump up sprayer. Just stick the hose behing every nock and cranny and spray it good. Wait a few minutes and then just hose it off or scrub...

    Good inflatable dinghy?

    There are a lot of option on the market and everyone has a different brand and preference. WE have found that a good inflatable with a air floor and a blowup keel rows the best and does not require a motor for short trips to shore. We like to drop the hook or grab a buoy then paddle to shore...

    c dory 22 composting head

    Peter that video of the new composting head looks great. I hope they get it to market. We have a 20 gallon holding take on the 27 but it is a constant problem some times. Susan has been pushing for a composting head but I do not like any of the current designs. That product seems to address most...

    Our Next Upgrade?

    I am sorry but after reading all this I have to ask what is the point other then less weight? Just seems like a lot of money is being spent for little gain. Yes you save weight and get a few more hours sitting doing nothing on anchor. I run the boat when we are out almost every day but even with...
