    Honda BF40 startup problems

    Don't worry about the "tell tale" stream too much if the alarms are not sounding. My 40's have been doing that for 11 years now. I keep weed whip line handy to rod out the pee holes and that restores the stream and my peace of mind. I have had the rev limiters activate and it is scary but then...

    Blister update

    A few years ago the Brats were discussing hull blisters at great length and I noted that I had some small ones too and would keep an eye on them and report back. My 2001, 22 cruiser has been kept in fresh water for 4 months per year for 12 years now. The number of small (less than dime sized)...

    Sunbrella cover mold or mildew stains

    I've used Star Bright stain and mildew remover with pretty good success. I spray it on with the camper back up, let it set a couple of minutes, scrub lightly with a soft brush and then wipe off with a water soaked towel. I do small areas (panels) at a time. It says it is not for use on fabric...

    C dory whirlygig

    Well, once I have finished a project that involves this much time I like to move, on but I suppose I might draw up patterns and provide them at a nominal cost if there is any interest. The dimensions and drawings are out there for anyone who wants to take the time to make scale plans of them.

    C dory whirlygig

    I sandwiched several layers of hobby grade basswood that I patterned off of the profile drawings from the factory. It took quite a long time because it was design build. I need to back in and re-construct in a trial and error method with a project like this. It's still not done as I need to put...

    Speakers/Installation

    I did a similar rear corner istallation but I used the existing window frame screws for mounting the brackets. There are pictures in my album of this and also what I did for the cockpit.

    Tachometer Failure & Charging Voltage

    The reason I was so adament about your problem is because practically every electrical problem I have had on a boat for 40 years has been a bad connection or a non-connection. I once replaced the tilt and trim motor on my Honda only to discover the power lead was sitting UNDER my battery, it got...

    Camperback Usage

    We have had our camper back for 9 years now and remove all of the side and back curtains whenever weather permits. My proceedure is simple: remove the curtains in the oposite order that you want to put them back on when leaving the boat. I lay them one atop the other on the table. Once all the...

    Selling your boat safely

    I can't help but think that if I were going to defraud someone and try to make all kinds of money by deception that i would do so by buying a C-Dory. It seems to me that there is a whole lot of over-thinking going on here!
