    2 stroke outboards

    Does anyone have experience with outboards from http://www.smalloutboardengines.com/index.html Their 2/2.5hp engines are light (20#), cheap ($500) and very easy to maintain. They are low emission engines as measured by meeting the EPA CARB Tier 2 EPA standard. Their return policy is very easy...

    Fountain of hydraulic fluid today

    Matt: Sorry to hear about your steering problem. Here's a very useful document on Seastar hydraulic drives which should come standard with every Seastar system: http://www.seatechmarineproducts.com/download/Seastar_Boat_Steering_Technical_Reference.pdf (Why doesn't the url display right?) It...

    My new TC255

    John: The first remedy is simply to tighten up the hatch lock :D. That worked on one of my boxes, but when you open the hatch the water from the gutter overflows into the box. Not a lot but it's still wet. The other box didn't respond sufficiently to tightening so the dealer installed...

    My new TC255

    Hi Bob: Yes, I was stunned by the absurdity of it. The holes are (were!) below the waterline and it's amazing to think what could have happened with a careless dealer and first time buyer. Roy

    My new TC255

    Pat: My first reply got lost when I had to re-login so here goes again! The short answer is that the Blue Sea p/n is 8248 and it consists of a meter and a "shunt" (a fancy resistor). Here are a few extra things that are useful to know about these and other meters (apologies for information...

    My new TC255

    Warren: I used to find myself out on the bay with small craft advisories in effect. These are issued for 20+ kt winds (or maybe 25) which are often accompanied by 2 ft or higher chop. In those conditions my 22 footer became tiring to handle. The TC handles those conditions much better - the...

    My new TC255

    On Thursday I took delivery of F. Silvestris, my 2008 TC255. It was a rough day on the Chesapeake with 15-25 kt winds and plenty of 2 ft. of chop. The 20 mile trip up the bay to our slip at Cutter Marine was a great ride with lots of "surfing" and other excitements. The TC255 was fun to drive in...

    Ranger 25'/Dealer

    I came across this at http://www.his.com/~vann/KrgStuff/Krognidx.htm. A small boy heard the ocean roar, "There are secrets on my distant shore But beware my child the ship's bell's wail, Wait not too long to start to sail." So quickly come and go the years And a young adult stands abeach -...

    EQ Marine

    Sorry to prolong this Allan but in fairness to Sail Annapolis they certainly are listed as a dealer on the Honda website: its under Owners->Find a Dealer and then enter zip code 21403. Roy

    EQ Marine

    Allan: I bought my first cd from Cutter and I've ordered a second one through Sail Annapolis. I can assure you that the principals at both dealers are high quality people with a thorough knowledge of cdorys and a deep commitment to providing excellent service. Sail Annapolis does not configure...
