Mine is made by Seadog Line and I believe it is their medium anchor bow rail. See here http://www.sea-dog.com/groups/2190-medi ... bow-roller

The roller that came with my 2008 22 works great with the 15lb Manson. It does not pivot but it does self launch. I'm underway right now (just came around Cape Caution) but will see if there's any indication of who makes it/what model it is when I stop. Not sure if I'll have Internet tonight...

I'll likely be in the Broughtons beginning right around September 1. Maybe a few days earlier or later. Probably will be back in Anacortes a couple weeks after that and I'll be spending some time in both the Broughtons and Desolation Sound. If you keep an eye on my SPOT page you'll be able to...

Has anyone explored bringing their C-Dory to Bell Harbor? I seem to remember hearing that they get pretty full during the boat show. But it could be fun and I may try to do it if the weather cooperates and I have the time.

Thanks for the tips. Lewmar recommended I contact Fisheries Supply and although they didn't have the part in their system they are having Lewmar ship one to me in Ketchikan. Actually, I ordered two while I was at it. Lewmar should ship them today, and I should have them by Saturday. We'll see...

My V700 hasn't been working well for the last week or so. It grabs chain fine, but the nylon rode never catches in the gypsy. The only way it pulls the rode up is if I keep pressure on the rode the whole time by keeping the engine in reverse. This seems like it will quickly destroy the windlass...

Les, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to this and I spoke with Kathy yesterday and she was very helpful as well. I've now talked to Honda Marine (corporate) and three Honda dealers and gotten somewhat different info from each, which can be frustrating. The local dealer here...

Steve, thanks so much! That's the same bulletin that the local dealer was referring to. I haven't noticed the engine "making" any oil, so I don't think I have a problem with oil contamination. I'll certainly keep an eye out for it. One of the frustrating parts here is that the Honda dealer...

Honda has not issued a recall. According to Honda Marine, they haven't even issued a service bulletin. The local dealer, however, says they have seen a service bulletin that , among other things, suggests that dealers swap out the plastic thermostat cover for a metal unit. I asked Honda...

A little more update for those with BF90D's. The troublesome thermostat cover is the one for the engine block thermostat. I don't actually have the replacement metal part yet (it's on Alaska flight 63 right now) but I'll have it this afternoon and it should be installed tomorrow AM. Hopefully...

The leaking is hard to see without knowing where to look. It's towards the back of the engine and covered by the cage around the ECU, so unless you take that off you can't see the problem. The dealer here knew where to look. Just got off the phone with Honda. Not very helpful. They...

I'm on A dock, side tied right under the harbormasters office. Good wifi here, stop by if you want to try your device or say hi.

I'm in Sitka and had the boat pulled for a lower unit oil change and the dealer discovered a leaky thermostat. The bigger problem is the thermostat leaks very near to the ECM and its connections. Saltwater and electronics don't mix, so I want to get this problem corrected before I leave Sitka...

Stacey, is your TomCat the one in Bar Harbor North with the roof mounted A/C? I was docked nearby a few weeks ago but didn't notice any activity on board. Nice boat, though, and the C-Dory dealer in Juneau said he's sold more TomCats than anything else.

Good to know of service in BC. Now I need to keep my passport in the boat in case of an unexpected trip over from the San Juans.

Thanks for the compliments. Currently in Sitka and just brought the blog up-to-date now that I have wifi (free wifi in Sitka!). I've put about 250 hours on the engine since leaving, so the boat is getting pulled out of the water tomorrow morning for engine and lower unit oil changes...

Missed you by a few hours in Hoonah it sounds like. Spent all day Saturday heading right into 3-4 foot head seas in Chatham Strait...a good reminder that C-Dorys don't like head seas! The other Hunky Dory was near Hoonah and called me on the 5th asking if I knew where you were. They were...

Jay, I've made progress in minimizing condensation this trip. Here's what I do. Forward hatch cracked open. Caframo 747 fan on low setting clamped on dashboard and blowing into the berth. Both side windows cracked open (or front opening window, if bug conditions permit) with another Caframo...

I was in Auke Bay last week docked next to the owner of Panhandle Powerboats. He said he is the C-Dory dealer in SE Alaska and as been selling C-Dorys since 2007 or 08, so you may want to contact them.

It was great to meet you Jay! We talked with several more people who confirmed the recent rock slide and instability in Ford's Terror...thanks for the heads up. We ended up anchoring outside of the rapids and had a great time in a beautiful spot with one other boat. They even one upped your...
