    How to get the wife on board for a C-Dory 22

    My wife likes to see where we are going - she didn't want to sit facing aft. Some find facing aft brings on sea sickness. Some brats have found ways to remedy this - cutting out the bulkhead and flipping the cushion. Others have suggested that sitting on the rear seat(facing forward) works good...

    Singlehanded locking

    Never mind fussing with that. Get out the Sawzall and cut a hole to install a sliding helm door like the R246. :mrgreen: On the 246 a single line from the mid cleat holds it parallel to wall under most conditions. Dr. John has done locks in his Tomcat - maybe he will chime in on best line...

    ALFADAN marine outboard

    And it had the resources, money, production capacity, industry knowledge, sales & dealer network, etc. of Volvo behind it. Now Mercury has brought their V12 to market at over $100,000.00 per. Maybe a good concept but a very limited market. For my 2c - if somebody has the coin to repower their...

    Factory Ordered!

    I believe Eastern has a similar time projection for the build on a new Rossi and used ones are scarce as hens teeth right now - not to mention selling for crazy $$. Rob

    Repairs and upgrades for Hammerhead

    We have been using these extensively in auto body for about the last 20 years. I found the 2" discs easiest to use. Because of the angle gearing they will not last as long as the straight die grinders. I have one of the straight ones(Mac tools) that is 30 years old and has hundreds of hours use...

    WEEDS !!! Can you keep them off the prop?

    I boated for years on Lake Erie around the Long Point inner bay. This area is shallow - no rocks just weeds and shifting sand bars. Locals taught me how to navigate by sight, sound and feel. They didn't even use a depth gauge because set at the lowest setting the alarm would still be going off...

    Cockpit Washdown Intake

    Colby, I don't know the correct answer but here's some random thoughts. 1/ at idle it would suck water equally well facing any direction - I don't know what you would use a wash down hose for while at planning speeds. 2/ the face containing the intake grate is tapered so comparing that to any...
