Hello Larry, Whichever tool you have that has the narrowest "kerf" - it will create the least dust. "Kerf" is the width of the cut made by the tool. As others have said, I'd use the jig saw. I've never used the "grit" style blade. I've had good results using a 'clean' for hardwood Bosch...

That's a good link - worth reviewing. Remember that you will become FUNCTIONALLY DISABLED within 2-15 minutes of cold water immersion. This means your fine motor control (finger dexterity) will be GONE. That is why you will fairly quickly drown if you aren't wearing a pfd because your ability...

Thanks Bob for posting this information. Something I would add would be a "Coban" (that's a brand name) product which acts as a tape replacment. It is GREAT in that it sticks to itself - not your skin. If your patient is elderly or has thin skin, using lots of normal tape will cause further...

Hodges Marine has the Hx870 for $196.50 with shipping for $4.95. Hard to beat that deal! dave

Hello Roger, The "hanging" anode looks like this: It is alligator-clamped to the negative DC buss or a negative battery terminal. The bonding system ultimately is connected to the negative DC buss, so this is how the hanging anode is incorporated 'electrically' into the system...SAME as the...

OR, search the internets for "auto garage dolly" for something like this dave

Hello Dave, Sorry, I wasn't clear. I have used the micro balloons in epoxy too but was wondering about putting them into PAINT. Marco postulated that microballoons in paint would be a cheap insulating alternatve to the commercially produced fancy paint options. Anyway, I wondered how much...

Hello Mark, I'm interested in your idea of combining micro balloons with paint. I've got some phenolic micro balloons left from a project...but they are a purplish-brown so would discolor the white paint. I see white glass balloons online which would probably be more appropriate. My question...

Hello Jenny, On my system with Simrad 3G radome, NSS8 display, and Raymarine EV heading sensor, the MARPA works fine. What heading sensor are you using? dave

Hello CP Congrats on the new motor. The prop's right-hand rotation is causing a little 'steer' effect. Not uncommon. To fix it, try adjusting (i.e., rotating) the tab hanging at 12 o'clock above the prop as viewed from the rear. It looks like this...it is sometimes also a sacrificial anode...

Hello Vic, I had a 2007 Cape Cruiser 23 witha similar problem (HOnda 135). It turned out to be the fuel pick up was suctioning to the bottom of the tanks. The fix is cumbersome but still a DIY...unmount tanks from the deck, swing them out to allow removal of pick up. Trim 1/4-1/2 off (I...

Hello TU, Tell us the make/model of your AP. Does the maker of your AP offer a configuration for unbalanced situation? My immediate thought is that there should be a software solution for unbalanced systems. All that means is that the AP must "know" there are MORE turns in one direction...

Hello Tara, Can you fabricate a new bottom sliding track using Starboard type material? It comes in a UV resistent form which will last much longer than the standard Starboard. If you posted pics of the problem area maybe we could give further suggestions. dave

I have purchased from Corinthian in the past. They make the carpets for Ranger Tug...I bought carpets for my 21EC. They make a VERY NICE product - in my experience. Their carpets are designed with a heavy backing so they lay flat. Maintenance is easy - just take them outside and hose them...

Hello moknots, Here (http://www.tugnuts.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... ion#p46644) is a recent thread on Tugnuts.com which addresses the issue of non-Florida registered boats cruising in FL waters. Basically, if you are IN FL for 90 cumulative days, they require you obtain a permit at an, not...

Hello Jim (Blue Rose) And I second Greg's comment. Those are VERY well-done, professional-looking mods! You have definite talent for making those changes. Thanks for posting the pics. It helps give all of us ideas for our own boats. dave

Hello Bob, Your hitch has not been addressed. That is the weak link in your set up to tow a CD25. In the standard set up, you will be towing in the "weight carrying" mode. The hydraulic surge brakes will not work properly with a weight distributing set-up. You may be over the 500# tongue...

Hello Bill, I'm a little late to the party on this one. If your going to leave your 1-2-OFF-Both switch on BOTH, then simply connect your Battery to ONE of the batteries using the included ring terminals. When the selector switch is on BOTH, it effectively 'parallels' the batteries, so the...

Hello Bob, Anchorout has a great point...WHERE and WHAT is the overcurrent protection for the pump that blew your main breaker? Is it a fuse or breaker? Whatever it is, you need to investigate WHY it didn't do it's job and "open"...instead the "backup" overcurrent protection (the main...

Hello Rich, Welcome to C-brats, FS ads are easier to take serious when they are accompanied with DETAIL/S. As you noted from the c-brats home page, there are at least FIVE other CD25s for sale. Go ahead and list the ENGINE HOURS, optional equipment, whether you've got a trailer, which...
