Figured I'd post a Flir update in this thread as opposed to starting a new one. Flir has a new line of handheld thermal imaging cameras, the Ocean Scout. From what I can tell, it is an update to the First Mate. I've been lusting after a thermal imaging camera after using the First Mate on a...

Tom, I initially installed it for both reasons. It definitely helped with the fogging....helped, not eliminated. Although, my boat came with the Kenyon Kiss stove, not a Wallas, so I had no heat. I've since installed a Webasto diesel heater in the boat and with that and the fan, I haven't...

If you want to go the manual wiper route, this is what I installed in mine: http://www.fisheriessupply.com/sea-dog-line-manual-windshield-wiper-412601-1 It was a 10 minute installation and has worked very well for the past two seasons. I'm average height and can reach the handle from the helm...

I had my 25 documented when I bought it. You definitely use the simplified calculation, which is: GRT = (Hull Volume + Deckhouse Volume)/100 Hull Volume = S x K x L x B x D S (shape factor) = .67 for powerboats K (keep factor) = 1 L = 25'.333' B = 8.5' D = 3.5' Hull Volume = 504.95 cu ft...

There is no real filter on my 25, but there is an "inlet strainer". The inlet strainer looks like its part of the pump, but it's really a separate component. It should be what the water hose connects to. Mine looks similar to this: Mine is mounted on its side, right to the pump inlet. The...

And you're going to see a boat owned by one of the nicest guys on here! One of the biggest benefits to the C-Dory is that you can configure the interior any way you want. Leave it spartan and bare, set it up for fishing, set it up for comfort and cruising. If the goal is to appease the...

Good question about when they put the water tank in the stern. Unfortunately I don't know the answer to that one. But I do know that boats older than my 2008 and boats newer than my 2008 have the water tank under the v-berth. Either the factory was experimenting with placement for a while or...

I have a 25 with twin Honda 90s and my experience pretty much matches what Greg / Aurelia stated. For me, I am lucky if I see 2.0nmpg cruising at anything over 6kts. My sweet spot is about 18kts and I get about 1.8nmpg. 18kts feels like a good speed for me. It's not too fast that I'm...

Could the unit actually be turning on, but the LCD screen be off/broken/disconnected? I had a similar issue with a video baby monitor. The copper flex connector for the LCD display had come disconnected from the circuit board.

Sportcraft's original location was on the water, in a marina (now called Sportcraft Landing). They moved "inland", but kept the name. And I also agree.....they are good to deal with.

It won't help your dilemma now, but the 2016 model year Colorado (as well as GMC Canyon) will be available with a smaller Duramax diesel. I think a midsized pickup / diesel combo would be a pretty nice setup for towing a 22. I couldn't be happier towing my 25 with the full sized/Duramax.

I wish it was only $220. That is just for the dual cylinder adapter kit. The Power Purge Jr is almost $800. I reluctantly bought one after having major problems bleeding air out of my system. I have a dual helm setup so there are a lot more places for air to get trapped. Conventional...

I had similar desires when I first got my boat since I don't have the normal Wallas stove/heater combo. I ran an electric heater via Honda generator occasionally, primarily to defog the windows in the winter months here in the PNW. But I always had an uneasy feeling doing that so I'd only do...

You have my heartfelt condolences. Hang in there.

Some of you are staying on Lake Powell in to the month of October? Boy...that sure is rubbing salt in to the wounds of those that can't make it at all this year. That is definitely not "just be nice" territory. :cry To this day, when I think about the great trip I had last year, all I have...

Just voted for him. I wish him luck.

Hi Harvey, Yes, I'll be there! I'm heading up to Swantown Marina in Olympia on Thursday afternoon. I'll stay the night at the marina and leave around 5am Friday morning. Since it's 130NM by boat, I hope to make it to FH sometime in the afternoon, but with that distance and unknown weather...

I was there last year, but still wasn't exactly sure which 'G' dock slips were ours, so I made this map for myself in case 'H' is full by the time I get there. Maybe it will help someone else. Pdf map of the Port of Friday Harbor with our reserved slips identified in red...
