Engine up with transom saver. The clearance might be OK, but I don't trust it.

Back in the day (my last run was in '90 I think) we didn't get any escorts that I remember until we were getting pretty close to the floating bridge. The CO made a point to tell me that it was critical to be lined up on the bridge opening and verify the bridge was in fact open at 2 miles out...

Last time I came in through Juan de Fuca, I was riding up on the sail of a 600 ft long black cylinder powered by uranium. I honestly don't know if they run AIS. I suppose they probably do.

Those videos help me understand my trailer better - thanks for posting both of them! I've got two spares (on on each side) but they can also flip down into position to roll like the first video... and I also have an alternate extended tongue that adds at least ten feet or so of reach. I may...

Thanks everyone for input... I'm currently leaning towards moving the compass and dropping the MFD right down in front. Looking into what it'll take to transplant the compass tomorrow. If that goes well, might just keep rolling - we'll see. I do appreciate all the advice! The unit I have is the...

... and where the heck did you put it? Haha. (22 cruiser) I'm sure I'll make it work, but I thought I'd ask if anyone is/was either really happy or really unhappy with where they put theirs. Looking through some pictures in here, it looks like someone has a sizeable unit on the dashboard shelf...

Wow, that looks very nice. I'll probably get one too once I decide what kind of design I want.

The guys in the inflatable had good intentions I'm sure... but didn't seem to have anything in the way of effective tools for the situation - especially in terms of dealing with the floating dumpster fire. I'm sure the heat was unbearable. Given what they had to work with, pulling other boats...

Same fire from the other side of the harbor. Really sad they didn't pull boats out of the way... sure seemed like there was time and people to get everything forward of and including the Sea Ray. :( https://youtu.be/ptQFMax2Ndw

I thought it was already designed to convert to a berth, what needs to be modified? You've got me wondering if I'm missing something now ;)

I modified my eu2200 to run on propane, natural gas or gasoline and so far I haven't had a drop of gasoline in it (I've run it off of propane or natural gas so far). I haven't used it in the boat yet. I would prefer to keep gasoline out of it, but I also know propane has dangers of its own on...

I tend to agree... I know batteries pretty well, and I haven't had an "aha" moment on something that would have caused it. I'm beginning to wonder if it was something internal in the battery... some sort of flaw. Have you tried reaching out to the manufacturer? Or maybe someone who might have...

Definitely looking better! Having the batteries on the floor between the gas tanks would be scary to me as well! You might put some thought into relocating them, IDK. Mine are under the aft dinette seat... clear of gas fumes and water. I just did the battery replacement gig a couple weeks ago...

I'm not seeing any mention of what your positive battery cable looks like... I assume it's damaged of course, but to what extent? Was it actively involved in the problem or just damaged from the heat below? Mark this one down as a "win" - it obviously could have been much worse - but you're...

I don't have an open center window at this point... sounds like it'd be $700 to $800 to get one. :( It's do-able, but damn... The berth hatch... this is a new boat (to me) and I've been reluctant to leave it open much when underway at speed. I don't yet have a feeling for how much speed it can...

Thanks for sharing the good news!

I've been looking through a lot of threads and pictures related to keeping the cabin cool - AC, opening front window, fans, etc... and realized that I don't think I've seen any mention of window tint and don't recall seeing any pictures of a C-Dory with tinted windows. It seems to be a rare...

Thanks all. I've got some testing on the "to-do" list!

And... the next subject in trying to crawl inside my dad's mind... The prop he's got on the boat (and I didn't run across any other spare or extra props in his stuff) is a 3-blade 11p Power Tech SS prop. This is on a 22 cruiser... with a single 4-stroke 90hp Yamaha (2006 - 40 hrs). Nothing...

I may be up for a group buy if that is helpful. I'm not exactly excited about $700 or $800, that's for sure.
