Thanks for the advice Bob. I'm heading out Tuesday morning with my 60lb pup. I hope to run into...actually let me rephrase that...visit with you while there! I'm taking the mainland route north. Dick

I agree with C Cakes. The handhold is wonderful. Also, to get the dinghy on the roof I merely pull it up to my thighs and lift it with my leg and arm. It glides into place..add two bungees and I'm off. If you choose you can add your GPS puck and radio antenna though I haven't found that...

Geeze Grumpy, seems like I just saw you at Lopez. Have a good trip. Dick

Thanks for all your input. Very sobering. I have a golden retriever(mostly) who is well trained on a leash but nutzo when let loose. "Off leash" was the second class offered, we only completed the first so far. Sounds like keeping him on a leash, not going ashore late in day, and making lots of...

I was cruising the web recently and found this list of trails up the inland passage to exercise yourself and your dog. http://www.island.net/~bcamp/ Our pups sure can be a pain sometimes. What with a walk two or three times a day. But they can also force us to find some places we might...

I've read on a Canadian Park website that if visiting the Broughtons one should leave their dogs at home. They warn that dogs and bears don't mix....for a variety of reasons. Can't argue with that. Has anyone walked their dogs in that area and experienced or heard of any problems? Is this a...

The thread that's beginning to crystallize is that I need big enough screens to make this upgrade worth while. Bob, I agree that dividing up an 8 inch screen puts me back to where I started. It makes sense to me that I would want as little clutter on my radar screen as possible. At least with...

Thanks Bob. I'm mulling around your comments. I currently have a small (4") Garmin GPS and a Humminbird depth. It's hard to read the GPS and I'm concerned what when my eyes are it, they are not on the water ahead. I'm wondering what it's like to have four screens going. Is it chaos or are you...

Thanks VERY much for your replies. Yes, I am mounting a radar arch so the wiring would be a problem. I went to Garmin and found what I think are the right replacement ends. I talked with the retailer who suggested splitting the wx proof ends that are inside the cabin and then clamping them...

Has anyone bought and installed one of these chartplotters/radar(GMR 18) ? Are you happy with it? I'm about to take the plunge. Looks like great interface and bright screen. Richard

I also have a 2001 Yamaha with carb problems. It turned out the fuel was contaminated with what looked like rust but didn't respond to a magnet. I had the tanks cleaned but they screwed that up so I ended up replacing the tanks. The mechanic cleaned the carbs twice (once after the poorly cleaned...

$3.00 and a 1/2" X 1 1/8" hole later, my wife now has her OWN windshield wiper switch next to the wiper! Now she can control her own wiper the way she wants! Dick

Howdy Julie and I are new two C Dory-dom and would like to meet some of you folks. We did run into Pat Anderson a few weeks back at a boat ramp here in Bellingham. Anyway, I called Kathy and signed us up for May 4th and 5th. C U then. Dick

Great! Thank you both! Heck, I get a faster response on CBrats that I get at the companies 800 number! Nothing like other's experience to give one piece of mind. I'm suprised that signals from the two transducers on Tyboo don't interfere unless they are on different frequencies. Smooth...

Howdy C Brats: I'm currently putting trim tabs and a new fish finder on my 22. Humminbird sticks by it's policy that the transducer must be 15 inches away from props and should be as far as possible from trim tabs. This policy covers Humminbird's butt but it doesn't help me much. I figure I've...

Great! Thanks! I'll be getting a 16.5 pounder. I've seen the "Claw" and the "Plastimo" at West Marine for alot cheaper but I think to sleep better Ill just pay for the Bruce. Any thoughts? Dick ........you know, I've looked all through the marine supply houses and I can't find "anchor wench"...

Howdy - I'm wondering if the 5 kg/11 lb Bruce anchor is large enough for the CD22 or if upsizing to the 7.5kg /16.5lb is necessary. The 5kg looks awfully small though it is rated for up to a 23' boat! Dick

Chris: what and where are the enrichment valves? I'm assuming they act like a choke? Rick and Steve: I admit to not having taken the pressure in the primer bulbs seriously enough. I'll remember that in the future. The previous owner mentioned pumping them a little more if needed. I figured the...

Hi Rick Yup, I've got clear-ish tanks. It's hard to see the level but when the lights right it's visible. Thought I'd see how useful the senders are and then decide. Foggy Dew looks great. I had earmarked your sunbrella curtains as a nice simple solution to the privacy issue. Smooth Sailing...

Well fellow C Dory owners. I’m new to large, fuel injected outboards and have learned a few things that I thought I'd pass on. Hopefully it will help someone as much as this site has helped me. I recently purchased “Cappie”, a 1999 C Dory with a 2001 Yamaha 80HP. There were two...
