    Calling All Electricians

    Thanks for the input so far. I am taking your concerns to the electric shop and discuss the possibilities. It was funny, but I was talking about this to a friend today at school and the school's interperter overheard my conversation. She said she had to interpret a College class for...

    Calling All Electricians

    Thanks for the quick reply, Charlie. All the needs at the end of the dock are 110, 30 amps max. That 10-3 with a ground copper is already run 250' UF direct burial. It will be connected to a 50 amp cut off. Then from the cut off to the temp meter 50 amp circut breaker (on a 100 amp...

    Calling All Electricians

    I need to run some underground electric wire for a 50 amp circut; about 150 feet. I can buy 8-3 UF copper with a ground for over a dollar a foot. I can buy 10-3 UF copper with a ground for 34 cents a foot. The electric supplier said to buy double the length of the 10-3 and run it in parallel...

    Steering rod location for Honda 90 and 8 hp

    That's how I hooked up my Honda 90 and Nissan 6, like Rick, except I had to make an aluminum bracket to attach to the Honda so the rod was in the correct position to operate smoothly. John SweePea

    Attaching metal racks to roof rails

    If you look in my Swee Pea album page six, you can see how I secured an older Yakima rack to the handrails. I looked for clamps like you are, but some were ugly, others priced 'outa sight. This worked like a charm and are STURDY! I will bet you can find some on Ebay cheap. John Swee Pea

    Underneath pictures of Factory Floorboards

    To all interested in this topic: :shock: The fiberglass factory floorboards are not heavy! :roll: 3/4" Plywood with wood stringers would be much heavier IMHO. Dri Dek does not level out the cockpit floor and holds in "nasty goobers" Worry about arthritic fingers when and if you get...

    Underneath pictures of Factory Floorboards

    Warren: The factory floorboards did not come with carpeting on them; that must be an invention of some deranged mind :wink . They came with a rolled on rough texture. I can not imagine gluing carpet to them; water absorption, fish guts, soggy. The beauty of the fiberglass floorboards is...

    Underneath pictures of Factory Floorboards

    Charlie is correct regarding the factory floorboard construction. I have the factory floorboards in Swee Pea; there is no center support. I have read about plywood home-made substitutes - I can't imagine that they would weigh less than the fiberglass ones, and if they are fiberglassed...

    Best microwave for 22 cruiser

    We have a truck camper on our Ford and haul our 22' Cruiser. We bought a Wal Mart on sale 700w microwave, I think a GE, for $39 or $49, for dual use. It is quite small and light. It does more than pop popcorn and heat water; it can cook. The problem with anything smaller is that it is a pop...

    A Nearly Broken Heart

    I have often wondered, with all my aches and pains, of what real condition this 58 year old body is in. I have checkups, as have you, and the Dr. pronounces me fit as a fiddle. But still the aches and pains. Your story is in fact an eye opener. So glad that you are mending and will be as...

    Floor Boards

    Yep. Just as Nick says. Easy to get out and clean. Not really heavy, just large. I lift them out by myself and lift them over the side to the driveway. Likewise, I lean them against the boat/trailer and lift them into the boat. Not a problem. Scrub them and the deck under them. Clean! I...

    C-Dory Factory Questions for the Group

    I like the cabin floor just as it is. Twice :oops: when my boat was in the driveway at an angle to the bow, we had a suprise rain while I was at work. The downpour was so great so quickly that the bilge pump at the cabin door could not handle the amount of rain and ... you guessed it, cabin...

    Cobb Grill vs Magma Catalina or Newport Grill

    Cobb now sells it's own "charcoal", described below. Some of its ads say ready to cook in 3 minutes, below says 15 minutes. Cobb claims: Lokkii Charcoal a is Ready-to-Light Solid Charcoal Brick with a 100% Organic firelight formula is a one of a kind! The Charcoal Brick is scientifically...

    C-Dory Factory Questions for the Group

    Probably. But shipping might be split among east coast dealers on a multiple dealer "shipping order", or could be added to a stock order for the dealer. Midwest dealers could get in on the truck headed east, Yada, yada, yada. I remember seeing the picture of a pickup truck hauling several...

    C-Dory Factory Questions for the Group

    This is an interesting comment. How many boats does the average C-Dory dealer stock anyway? And isn't having too much stock and too few customers the current challenge for dealers? I remember when I bought my first car. I went to the dealer who had a floor model. Then you sat down with the...

    C-Dory Factory Communication

    This topic can fit in many different threads, but I wanted to start one of its own. I contacted the Factory regarding input about their question regarding interiors. I gave them my opinion, and their response was ... well I will let you read the details: Me to them: Scott: I have owned a 22...
