    Best launch point--north Kentucky Lake

    According to marinas.com, Lighthouse Landing is on Ketucky Lake, accross the lake from Kentucky Lake Dam State Park. I will check the issue about the ramp and parking on LL, which I was told when I called that it is complimentary. From looking at the aerial photos of both marinas, it appears...

    Best launch point--north Kentucky Lake

    Takukla, I also plan to cruise in the area for a week to 10 days in mid-May and have been doing some research. I have used marinas.com and explorekentuckylake.com. The latter one has a list of marinas in the area. I then went into mapquest.com to plot the towns where the marinas are located...

    Do I have to be a Good Samaritan, Won't I get sued?

    In or about 1975, my wife Laura and I, then recently married, were swimming in Luquillo Beach in our native Puerto Rico, when an "older" couple (probably in their 40s) approached us in their 14 or 16 foot open boat and told us that there was a kid drowning in a nearby area where two currents...

    Battery switch

    The switch that I have in my boat has "Lock/Off", "1", "All", and "2" positions. When I picked up the boat, the dealer told me never to use the "All" position to charge both batteries at the same time. He told me that the two different batteries would not charge properly. I have never used...

    09/09 - 09/10 - National Mississippi River Gathering

    This reminds me that last Thursday I handed out my first flyer (postcard) of Triton Marine while docked in Stockton Island, Apostle Islands, WI. Laura and I were sitting in the cockpit doing some reading when this "young couple" like us approched us and asked if we did not mind the...

    Tandum Trailer Question(s)

    I have a two axle trailer and haven't noticed anything different from a single axle trailer. The only thing I have noticed on mine is that when I take a sharp turn on reverse the surge brake acts up and I have to manually work on it with the brake lockout. No biggie. I have not had a flat...

    Trailer winch capacity

    Thanks, Tug and Steve. Definitely, the C-Dory dealer did not do their homework, nor did EZ Loader, considering the size of the trailer. I am no expert, who relied on the dealer's expertise. I will contact EZ Loader and see what they had in mind when they chose the "way below" winch size. I...

    Trailer winch capacity

    Thanks for the feedback. Seems like the winch that came with my "custom" :amgry trailer may not be sufficient. And I paid good money for that trailer built to my specifications. Someone did not do their homework.

    Trailer winch capacity

    Does anybody know how to calculate the trailer winch capacity for a CD 22 Cruiser? I bought a new custom built trailer when I purchased my C-Dory in May 2009. It is an EZ Loader aluminum double axle trailer and it came with an 1,800 lb capacity Fulton winch. I never questioned the capacity of...

    MICHIGAN C-DORYs

    Rich and Judy, Thanks for the offer. I also have GPS charts for Lake Superior and Dozier's Waterway Guide for the Great Lakes, which is pretty good. I was just wondering if you had already been to the area and could share some thoughts. If not before, see you in Guttenberg this fall--there...

    MICHIGAN C-DORYs

    Hi Rich and Judy: Have you cruised the southern shore of Lake Superior before or will this be your first time? We have been to the Apostle Islands the last two summers, and although we have made this an annual destination, I would like to explore new areas. Will appreciate your thoughts. I...
