    Ken, I'm not certain of the manufacturer of the C-Dory hatches (Taylor Made?), but here's a link of Taylor Made hatch screens...

    Air Conditioning - AGAIN !

    I've cut a number of large holes through gelcoat, glass, etc. Other than the size/type/location of hole (e.g. enough working room to accomodate the saw is often the largest obstacle), I prefer a jig-saw. Two considerations for the jig-saw: (1) Employ the fastest (highest rpm) jig-saw you have...

    C-Dory Owner's Manuals

    Fred said: How did you manage to change the file extension from a .pdf to a .pfd? Hmmm :mrgreen: The reason the link didn't work was the extension was mysteriously changed.

    CREWING A KICKER TO TRANSOM

    Chris asked: My Garelick is through-bolted mounted through the transom. I never take the 9.9hp kicker off the Garelick bracket - no worries, no hesitations. There are numerous positions for raising & lowering the kicker via the bracket; and, in the complete up position, there are no worries...

    Mystery fuses/wires

    I more or less had a similar issue w/ the bilge pumps on my boat. Spent time running down the wiring schematic - colors were correct, until they bled into the brown wiring for bilge pumps. Actually, the factory had the wiring backwards relative to which switch went to which bilge pump - cockpit...

    Bottom paint, the good and the bad

    When "keeping" my previous boats "in the water" in FL, 24hrs/day/yr, they had to have bottom anti-fouling paint (my preference is Copper Sulfate). Barnacle instrusion was absolute without antifouling bottom paint. Additionally, as has been mentioned, it will reduce slime. Currently, I'm...

    Bernie Madoff Country Hit Single or Why You Can't Buy A Boat

    I think she knew. I'm quite disgusted with the SEC, as well. I think there were many more involved here, and I hope they deny his appeal. Here's the recent list of what the court's are trying to secure: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/16_03_09_madoff_assets.pdf

    C-Dory Intracoastal Movies

    Intracoastal Weeki Wachee? I used to live in Hudson, FL, and I have taken 21' & 23' center-consoles, and kayaks up & down the Weeki Wachee River (maybe 25 times). Unless I'm missing something, I'm curious why you're calling it "Intracoastal" since I fail to see the connection between...

    Powering a 25'...

    I don't know. Antibody already had the 2008 150hp Suzuki EFI four banger rigged. I've never owned a Suzuki - not even the motorcycle. I picked up a 2008 9.9hp Suzuki EFI four banger as the kicker/troller. I have to say - I'm very impressed with this engine. For me, I'm a freak on maintenance. If...

    Fishing Boat Carrying NFL Players Reported Missing in Florid

    I lived in Hudson, FL for 5 years and regularly (weekly) fished from Hudson>Anclote Keys>WikiWachee>Clearwater>Tampa Bay and out 45-50 miles in a 23' Suncoast (local FL built) center console walk-around. Generally speaking, there really aren't that many reefs @ the 45-50 mile offshore mark...

    Four Blade Results

    IMO, for the size vessel I own (25' Cruiser) going from a 3-blade to 4-blade fixed-pitch propellor doesn't justify the cost for long range cruising. I might consider the adavantages if I were looking to gain a better hole-shot (possibly); since, understanding the variable involved in skulling...
