I called the factory and they (Scott) said they have the plastic trim. It comes in straight pieces. For a 22' C-Dory its 35.00. They develop the curves by using a heat gun then glue and clamp into place. They use Loctite H3101 Speed Bond. The Loctite part # is 83006. He named the chemical...

I sent a couple pictures of the transom trim to the manufacturer yesterday. When I called a few days earlier he (Jeff) wasn't sure what I had even though I described it? He asked for pics.. No response yet. The aggressive grit black non skid tape is what I've used on top of the trim and...

Bob I look forward to the review of Thataway album, pages 5-8. I finished the removal of the motor this evening. More of a deal than what I anticipated making a home made harness that I trust. Its laughable but safe. One of the lower motor bolts threads started galling about the last 1-1/2 in...

Ferret30 thank you and Thisaway thank you. The pictures helped me get the picture. Bob when you repaiared the wet spots on the 25 is it correct you took off all the glass on the exterior transom but only removed localized wet/damagedareas of the wood core. Tom

The AZ. desert sounds nice right now from someone who lives near Portland OR. You mentioned two C-Dorys, would this be LK. Powell? A few years ago I took my brother on a tour up the Rogue R. by road not water using the boat as our "boater home" as Ken of Blue C used to say. It was a great road...

Hi Bob Hope your holidays were special. Could you help with some questions, when its convenient, that I had in my last post? I just noticed the change from Thataway to Thisaway. Nice name. I hope the shift in size suits you. I used to have one bigger before I had one that was smaller and now I...

Not sure what resale would be but I would think you could do it given the model and low hours. If you do sell you have a good idea whats available for replacement when the time comes. If mine doesn't give reliable service with scheduled maintenance I'm done. I'm comfortable with both propane...

Can you describe the small piece of stainless steel they sold you. I was having the same issue with wind at times a couple years ago.They told me to install a "clam shell" style vent cover just forward of the exhaust vent, which I did. I think it has made a significant difference so far, though...

....... The guys at WALLAS know whats going on and they pay very close attention — or certainly did during the transition of new ownership. I have seen their correspondence on C-Brats. My wife and I photographed our servicing of our 1999 Wallas 95DU and documented it in 2006, to contribute to...

Bob I had similar feelings regarding recommendation of silicone to seal out water entry at the transom. I',m at the steering cable removal stage on my motor, so it's still bolted to the transom. Though since I have already disconnected elec. connections, I'll need to do the motor tilt...

Thanks Joe Much appreciated and useful advice. It reminds me of what a friend used to say when nerves got a little tight on the construction job, that he learned from a horseman out of Montana. In a deep, calm voice, he'd say, "STEEAADDYY" Thanks to the other previous posters as well. Montana...

I have not been to c-brats site for a long time ane decided I would today. Guess why? I discovered a transom problem this spring. What a surprise to see this issue being discussed. Last spring I was anchored in the Columbia for that mythical fish. I pulled out my ice chest to get something...

New Moon,I heard that part where you mentioned about being caught in S.E. AK. due to no VHF radio. Reminded me of a similar situation for myself but entirely different circumstances. One thing is for sure after its over, its those situations where one vows "I WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS"...

bburgin: Please post info. you have for replacing the AFI brand blade with Nappa brand. I would really appreciate it. I recently have been gathering research on my blades. It turned out to be tedious. I probably should have checked library at this site first. Our 1999 22' C-Dory came with a...

I try to organize dishes and cutlery like a zen practice on our boat( i read "zen and the motor cycle art of maintenance" ) paying attention as i go to our needs.When you see what you really need take your time and go for it even if it means making changes that are not easy, sometimes. Regarding...

Hi, About five years ago at the Seattle Boat Show I met Kevin Monahan, author of "Local Knowledge" A Skippers Reference Tacoma To Ketchikan, 142 pages. It's a jewel because its true to its title "Local Knowledge", and applies to much more than Tacoma to Ketchikan. I really appreciated the...

Pete thanks for your efforts/details. I checked some of your transom photos in your photo. album, and see I've made the mistake with my present unit of directly screwing the transducer and speed wheel to the transom with "Life-Calk" as the screw sealant, instead of using epoxy and thread tapping...

Thanks for all your responses. It all helps in making that biggg decision. Ken & Steve, its good to hear from you too! I'm still on the path to find out. After placing a mock-up in the boat and adding 1 1/2" extra for bracket elevation(not having a mounting bracket), it seems the unit size will...

I'm considering a Lowrance HDS10. It has a 10.4" diagonal screen size. Using a tape measure at the store it measured 8 7/8" wide, 12 1/8" long and 3 1/2'' deep. I made a mock up out of cardboard, and looks like it may fit, but I'm not sure of what mount will be substantial and will work with the...

Did you mean you moved the radar dome forward because it interfered with the GPS signal? I'm considering getting a Lowrance HDS 10 for our 22 C-dory, and I may be adding radar at some point. Your input would be appreciated. thanks , tom
