Thinking about it a little more, I guess you could tie a couple lighter lines across the ends of the rooftop handrails with a loop in the center that you could thread your centerline rope through. Probably overthinking this but 100 inches of snow scares me.

A little bit of stretch probably won't hurt anything. It doesn't really need to be all that tight either. If your line is stetchier you might want to tie the line together at the bow rail just so the load doesn't walk the line outward along the rail (if that makes sense). I've been using some...

This may not work for you but it's inexpensive to try. I just take a non stretch heavy rope from one rooftop handhold down under the outboard and back up to the other handheld. In the front I go from the handhold over the bow rail around the bow anchor roller and back up to the other handhold...

Backup Cam: Aftermarket "Peak" 7inch bought on E-bay $85 delivered. 15 min. easy install. Picture in rain at dusk with wet camera lens. Makes it super easy to attach boat single handed.

If your gps is putting out sentences then you should be able to detect the very recognizable voltage pulses metering across the the 2 wires with a multi-meter (should be about 1 volt ish). Doesn't solve your problem but will definitely isolate the problem being with the gps output.

I too have always had 4x4. I always carry a tow strap in it. At least 4 times I have assisted other vehicles who could not get up a ramp without it, but none of them were C-Dory's. (One was just a 2 seater pwc though, so it's not always just a weight issue). At low tide it is nice to have the...

Even if you are an "outie" type of guy, I think it is a good idea to have a spare plug on a cord on the "innie" side, just in case of a failure or early morning brain freeze.

I have been trying to figure something like that out too. If you've drilled any holes in the hardtop you know it is very thin (1/8"or less?) or at least mine is and difficult to fashion anything long or heavy (as in trap storage) without having vertical support posts underneath that create other...

Welcome to the group. The smaller cd's are not self bailing but with one or two small auto bilges and a couple batteries (redundancy) I doubt you would have trouble at your buoy. They're all light and easily trailered with anything in the 1/2 ton class range. If I had a standing promise from...

It is a sub album of my photos clickable link at at the left side of page. Chris

Matt's suggestion is probably a better mousetrap for this, as when you 'set back ' from the transom you lose some height due to the transom angle (as well as being lighter and probably less expensive). I wanted to be able to fine tune my height but found that in practice I needed all the lift...

I have a 25" etec on my 22 Angler. I added an adjustible mount aluminum bracket that gives me from 1" to 5" lift. I used every bit of it. (See pics in album "Motor setup" with comments under) Used big aluminum sandwich to build up. No problems yet in almost 2 years. Mount bolts right through...

My 87 angler has one, so at least 22 years. In theory it's nice to have a locking door, but they could be pried open in about 15 seconds, if you should happen to forget your keys! At leasat mine can. :embarrased Chris

I replaced my factory manual steering with Sea Star so I could run the boat on an S1000 autopilot. It was not a difficult job. I think the kit was around $900. The AP was about the same. Nice to only have to fill and bleed the system once. Not sure if you can run the AP on Bay Star. Chris

Pretty petty difference but my 87 Angler does not have an opening center window and I doubt the previous owner replaced it. Maybe they changed this mid 87 sometime, or later? Chris

Beautiful boat, the Tomcat. If you click on the Brat Map tab at the top, you can get an idea of where the Brat concentrations are. Well represented in N Cal. Though we're 60 miles away we'll no doubt see you on the Delta. Chris
