HEllo Tony, A C-brat named "jfurry" posted that he had eight Trioving blanks for sale on April 12, 2010. His post is on this website under "boating accessories for sale" forum. Perhaps you could check with him to see if he has any left. Maybe this link...

Hello DickE, You describe a fuel starvation situation...can you remember if the fuel primer bulb would refill itself when you would 'pump it up'? Or, did it tend to stay 'flat' for a few moments? In addition to concern about the fuel pick up/tank, I would suggest you go around to all the fuel...

Agree with Joe. Mud wasps have 'camped' in my outboard's telltale hole - thus plugging it up. In FL we are mandated by the Fishcops to have a 'venting' devise if you fish the reefs (basically a large bore needle to release pressure in the fish's swim bladder). Anyway, the venting devise works...

Or...when everything starts looking yellow.... :wink: It could be cataracts :shock: just saying... /david PS...at least my mother in law said everything looked so much whiter after her cataract surgery

SWEET!! You've really got a 2008 model year Cape Cruiser. On my 23 there is a second HIN plate on the back side of the console where all the wires and steering hoses connect to the helm. Did you rig your boat yourself? What engine did you go with? Thanks, /david

Hello David, I'm curious about your '08 CC. Could you post your VIN as that would show the model year of the hull as well as when it was built. /david

My CC23 (GXK23034J607) is an '07 model year built in October 2006, hull #34 (IF I'm interpreting the HIN correctly). It has the water tank forward. I am planning to install access/inspection plates but haven't yet so I can't verify the bulkhead or cockpit floor support. It's good to have this...

Well...then that explains it. I'll have to look closely at my tanks. I didn't think the fitting was welded at an angle but rather flat to the top. As you said, that would make a difference especially when re-inserting the elbow to which the pickup tube is attached. Keep up the...

Hello Tim and Dave, I like all those neat mods you done to your boat. Thanks for posting pics too. I have a question about the fuel flow pic up 'angle' pic and how this relates to your fuel flow restriction. I may be completely mistaken...but I believe the fuel pic up enters our fuel tanks...

HEllo JD, Bingo on the air leak!! What you have described is why there is a shut off valve where the fuel line for my kicker is plumbed into the fuel system. When the main engine is running, I shut off the valve and that eliminates the kicker fuel plumbing as a source of air entrainment. I...

Hello JD, When I change the fuel filter/water sep with the boat on the trailer, I usually fill the filter with gasoline prior to screwing in onto its holder. Otherwise, it takes a lot of pumping (or cranking) to refill the new filter. The other thing to watch for are air leaks in the fuel...

Good info Bill (DaNag). And the link posted by Dr. Bob is informative as well. It makes clear the "packet sniffing" technology applies to unencrypted internet communications. So, whilst your sent/received emails can be intercepted by the bad guys, your banking info CANNOT...which goes back to...

Hello Pat, Steve, Marty, and Others, I would respectfully disagree with your answer Pat. I mean no disrespect and don't mean to be impertinent. I was going to PM you to avoid a public disagreement but thought it better we come to a reasoned decision publicly so everyone else on the board...

A little faster than #3 would be to leave the hinge screws and simply remove the hinge pins. :) I agree with Charlie (Captains Cat) that "locks just usually keep out the honest folks" Sad but true. /david

Hello Bryrick, Congratulations (!!) on the sale of your CD. I guess that makes the 'second' happiest day of a boat-owner's life. I hope it's not too long before you get your next CD. Best regards, /david

Hey Jim, I like your idea. An access opening in the cabin between the bottom of the door frame and the cabin sole would allow me to look 'aft' and see the space under the cockpit deck & hull. If no water was present, YIPPEE, and move onto next item on boat "to do" list. When you measure...

I too apologize for 'highjacking' the thread. My CC23 was built with the water tank in the bow (on centerline just forward of the porta-potty). I have seen other (earlier?) CC23s with the water tank in the aft/port dinette seat like Bill's before he moved it forward. So...I would echo what...

Hello Steve, One other thing about my set up. The vertical pivoting mount allows me to use a 20 inch ("long") shaft kicker rather than the 25 inch ("extra long") shaft required with some of the fixed mounts. /david

Hello Steve, I have the Garelick bracket on the STB side (my swim platform is on the PORT). The kicker is the Tohatsu 9.8. Works well. On my transom, I still need to tilt the kicker up (even with the bracket fully elevated) to keep it out of the water whilst underway. I like the bracket...

Hello Merv, Thanks for your insight/s. I'm a little slow on the uptake so....just to make sure I understand...I would put the same MMSI number into both (or all) my VHF radios, correct? Thanks, /david
