Steve & Rick- The pictures did not get posted today. It remains on my to do list for tomorrow. Steve- The GMR 18 was mounted directly onto the cabin top. Two vinyl stringers were used to accommodate the radius of the cabin top and raise the dome 1" off the surface. This 1" allows room for the...

Rick- I will take some pics of the brackets and post them in the Levity album. Jeff- I have not been on a one year old C-Dory 22 to make comparisons of the consoles so I cannot say if they are different or not. What I can say is that before installing the 4210 I tried placing the unit in...

I installed a Garmin 4210 Plotter with a GMR18 HD Radar and a GSD 22 Sounder on Levity. The installation was simple enough once the Garmin network concept became clear. The 4210, if installed using the mounting bracket supplied, will cover half of the helmsman's field of vision when looking...

I knew I had posted something a while ago (Feb 07) about carrying all those tools for tire and bearing repair as a guaranty they would not be needed. Well, the guaranty is now void. The right aft tire blew out or just went flat. I am unsure what happened as I did not notice any difference in the...

Allow me to share performance results for an aluminum Solas 15X3 four blade prop on my 22 with a 90 hp Honda 4 stroke. The three blade it was compared to was a 15x 3.5 aluminum. Based on speed log comparisons the 4 blade drove the boat the same speeds at the same RPM (within .1 nmh or so more or...

Thank you all for your responses. I finally was able to jack the trailer and spin the wheels. Front right side was very difficult to spin. It appeared to be a dragging shoe. Tore it down, piston/caliper retracted easily creating doubt as to the cause of the dragging shoe. Installed new shoes...

What you are describing sounds like issue I had on Levity. My solution was to add a fairlead between the self launching anchor roller and the windlass. The fairlead was an AR4 from West Marine(old catalog). The new catalog calls them platform bow roller #9397167. The rode does not jump off the...

Thanks for all of your worthy suggestions. Axle alignment and ethanol laced fuel are two ideas that fit with the details. Jacking and testing for rotational resistence is brilliantly simple. Wish I'd a thought of that. When, the culprit is found the news will be posted. Mike "Levity"

Towed the 22 after 4 months storage. Inflated the tires to 50 PSI cold. Ambient air was 40F. Boat has normal load, full fuel tanks, empty water tank, all the usual gear. There was a perceptable increase in the resistance of the package being towed. Running on the same route, the truck had to be...
