On dinghy engine storage bracket ideas while underway: Since I did not want the 2 HP Honda in my cockpit, I made a transom bracket out of scrap 3/4" plywood and a few screws, SS bolts and epoxy. I have thin rubber strips under the bracket where it meets the hull for grip and abrasion...

We have the Alaska Series 220TDS dingy and use a Honda 2HP short shaft. I cut 2 inches off the wooden part of the engine bracket and the short shaft works very well that way. :thup 2HP is plenty since you can't really get an air floored dingy on step. I never get the Honda past half...

Got on Coho last last night in the driveway and plugged in my '03 Garmin 2006 chartplotter to see if the recent satellite changes affected my receiving the WAAS GPS corrections. :shock: Turned it on and after about 10 minutes, I had acquired the WAAS signal and had GPS accuracy of 6 feet...

To allow for easy removal of my windlass, I cut a piece of 3/16" 6061 aluminum that I attached to the non skid with MarineTex that I tinted to match the deck color. I did not want to permanently mount it to the deck for maintenance reasons. My Quick Aster 500 came with a nice gasket that seals...

Tom, I am stuck out here in Nikolski working and trying to get back to Anchorage. No flights in or out for a week now. Hopefully I'll be home before the 4th! Robin and I are planning on being out on PWS over the weekend of the 6th, 7th and 8th, weather allowing, and would still love to meet...

Mike, I just ordered 5 gallons of the Delta-T Marine spray insulation from the Mascoat rep in Seattle along with the sprayer. Should be at my house as I write. Cost of the Delta-T coating was $47/gallon and it comes in a 5 gallon bucket. Don't know if Dick Stratton who is the Mascoat sales...

Milehog, I have the Trimmaster trim tabs on Coho and they are GREAT! Can't compare them to the Bennett M-120s as I have only used the Trimmaster tabs but without any hesitation, I can recommend the Trimmaster trim tabs. Good product, good company to work with, excellent support if you need...

Thomas, Sorry I have not been on this site for a few days. Railmakers phone number in Everett is 425-259-9236. They are fairly laid back and easy to work with. I just checked their web site <www.railmakersnw.com> and it is not working too well this morning. Anyway, good luck with your...

I had a tall radar arch made for Coho by Railmakers in Everett and they did a great job! :D They know C-Dorys and can make an arch for any of the different hulls. If I remember correctly, the arch was about $450 and shipping to Alaska was about $50 by Lynden Transport. From placing the order...

Like Dave said. I vote for E. We are C-Brats and E is simple enough to easily recognized. :thup My 2¢ Jim

Warren, I have an Alaska Series dingy, the 220 model and use a Honda 2 HP on it. My Honda is the short shaft model with clutch and it works very well with two of us onboard. It won't plane, but it sure beats rowing against a wind. :thup :smiled If I remember correctly, the top of the...

I'll second Hunkydory's concern over the HC4600 steering cylinder concerns! I also have the Baystar hydraulic steering system with a HC4600 cylinder and am very happy with it. Why did Teleflex drop the HC4600 and replace it with the HC4656H? Is there a design problem that is waiting rear...
