We had a 22 and now a 16 for about 5 years. Our solution has always been a couple of lightweight sleeping bags along with a couple of pillows and pillow cases from Walmart. The Captain likes the idea a lot as it keeps the deckhand (I know my place on this vessel) from stealing the sheets...

This is for Harworth. I have some photos of our setup. Problem is I am not familiar with posting. If you want to send me your email address, I will be glad to them to you. The cover we have on the 16 is the same one we had on our 22. We just had it cut down to fit the C-Squirt and it is...

Bob, The C-Squirt was home yesterday to get “summarized”, and I took pictures of the travel cover, cockpit cover, and sun shade. Not sure how much would apply to a 25, but if you would like to see them, send me your email and I’ll send them on. Sorry but I’m not good at posting on the site. Jack

Bob Austin, Previously I put together a reply and for whatever reason, it didn't post. The boat is still put away for the winter, lots of other stuff going on. Soon I'll bring it home and when I do can send some pictures of the full cover, cockpit cover, and sun shade. I probably will have...

Over the years I have had a couple of incidents, The most serious was a stolen 7.5 Honda kicker. Probably professionals, the storage facility had contractors in there who had the gate codes. I had the Honda locked to the transom with a padlock through the holes in the ears on the retaining...

We have been there several times and at one time or another, done the entire lake. So give me a bit to jog the memory bank and check my map, which I think is in the boat in the storage garage, and if no one chimes in, I'll get back to you.

Lots of comments here. So l'll try to keep it short. We have had C-Dorys for 18 years and on our 2nd Thetford potty. Essentially both have been the same except the first one had paper holder, so now paper goes in a coffee can. The current one is a 25111, with an electric water pump and waste...

22's don't have a tremendous amount of cabin room. In the interest of bliss and tranquility when aboard, you might want to let the captain or first mate whichever the case may be, pick the name.

Bob, Your right! I made a mistake by leaving the cooler on the dock. I incorrectly thought no bear would come down a 40 ft dock. Won't do that again. I agree it would have been unlikely he would have come on because the dock line was pretty loose and the 16s roll quite a bit when you put a...

Thanks for the responses. In looking through Bob's list, everything is covered including first aid, and anchor, except the day/night distress signals and the DSC. Our boat does not leave the dock without PFDs on. I should get the missing items. Over time we have had a couple of interesting...

This discussion got me thinking. So here is question from a dummy. What, if any, are the CG requirements for freshwater boating, which is now where I spend all my time. Although I have a radio, on a radio check, I at times get no response. This is because I am in a canyon where the signal is...

I also have nothing but good things to say about Sportcraft, and this goes back to 2000 when we bought our new 22 from them. Even though we live in Boise, 435 miles away, they never batted an eye when we needed help including find a narrow frame kicker after ours was stolen. After we got old...

The January photo and the name of the boat provide an interesting contrast and a bit of humor. Jack

Wow! What a lot of responses. Looks like the consensus is 200-300 hours and/or 2-3 years. I hadn't thought about the impeller hardening and maybe losing some of its effectiveness. Based on the advice, I will change it out before the 1st launch next spring. Thanks, what a good site this is!

I sure there are some opinions out there but I have not been able to find the thread. So here is the question. At what intervals either hours or time do most people change water pump impellers on Hondas? We have a 2009 50 EFI on our 16. The impeller was last changed 4 years and 250 hours...

I agree with all that's been said here about multiple nights on a 16. We have one now and one or two nights at the most is about enough. There just is not a whole lot of room, especially if you get some poor weather and have to use the backdrop. Before the 16, we had a 22 for 11 years and on...

One thing to keep in mind is that if you are going to have to lift your tanks in and out of the boat, a full 12 gallon tank weighs about 75 lbs. If that is the case, multiple sixes might be a better option.

Since we occasionally over night on our 16 and have a single battery, l am thinking about changing to LED bulbs on the cabin and anchor lights. The forum references 22s. Has anyone done this on a 16? Would the bulbs be the same as a 22? Ours is a 2009 so I assume they are incandescent. Our...

We have used a Magma charcoal grill on our C-Dories for many years. But I fabricated an adaptor for the rod holder socket so that the grill is out over the water. This keeps any hot coals from dropping in the cockpit. Also I generally don't empty the ash until the next morning when the coals...

Since our boats spend most of their lives on the trailer, here are a couple of thoughts. First, if a thief really wants what you have, he likely will get it, unless you stand out there 24/7 with a. 357. We have had a couple of small thefts when we had our 22. Both times when it was in a open...
