Hey jimicliff, I like your style! My wife and I have taken many a shower using that technique. We've also taken plenty of saltwater showers/baths using Dawn detergent or Lemon Joy followed by a wipe down with baby wipes or baby oil. Just a little dab of either Dawn or Joy will do or you'll be...

Hey smckean (Tosca), Just to throw out another idea: There are hybrid systems. The solar system takes care of day to day activities. When there is a heavy load or no sun you can run the generator which will take care of the heavier load but will also recharge the batteries, usually...

I love my CD 16... whether it loves me back... I doubt it. BUT she does "talk" to me. Aesthetically, if it didn't appeal to me, I wouldn't want it and I wouldn't want it if it wasn't functional, so I'll go 50/50. But... shhhh... don't tell her...

Hey DMcD, You'll got through fiberglass, wood, fiberglass and then hit foam. The wood "deck" will probably be approx. an inch thick. I don't know if they used a wooden "cleat" under the raised area to help anchor the cabin to the deck or if it's just thick fiberglass but once you're through...

Hey Jackie, The foam in my boat was sprayed in and it didn't fill the space completely. I had to use a sheetrock handsaw, a hacksaw blade and scraper to get it all out. It didn't even fill a 30 gallon trash bag. As far as a drain I'm planning on installing one when I go to secure the foam...

This is fun! From the location on the cabin it's a little over eight inches from the window combing to the aft edge of the cabin. The screws mounting the plate, compared to the nearby canvas snap, appear to be 1/4" pan heads. I would guess the mounting plate to be approx. 3-1/2" X 3-1/2"...

Yes, they're used to spread out the lines and I believe to take the weight off the rod 'n reels... but I'm not a fisherman either. I was using the SWAQ principal eliminating other uses for the base and there are other uses for that type base. But... where it's located, type and size of boat, rod...

Howdy DMcD, Outriggers would be used in conjunction with the fishing rods for trolling. I have seen rod holders using a similar fitting but the location suggests outriggers to me. Are there rod holders mounted elsewhere in the cockpit? Spuncopper

Hey DMcD, If you have one on both sides it may be the slip base for outriggers. Spuncopper

Hey Marco Flamingo, The forward bulkhead on my 2007 CD 16 Cruiser is 3/4 inch plywood with a very thin coat of what appears to be epoxy paint on both sides. It is held in place with four small S/S (?) clips and glassed in. I cut a 11-3/4" X 10-3/4" access opening through the bulkhead to...

Hey Marco Flamingo and Jackie, My second battery is mounted on a pvc shelf similar to yours but is against the aft part of the seat box. I installed 'batter' boards made of 5/8 X 1 1/2 inch pvc. They are screwed in from the back of the seat box. I used the top edge of the seat box as my...

I'll bother you one more time Jackie, just an additional thought here. I would've had heart palpitations if I had that. Being in Alaska, if water had infiltrated into the seams there might have also been freeze heaving at work. Spuncopper

Hey Jackie, Check out Marco Flamingo's, Limpet album and his gas tank installation. Plenty of gas and located on the centerline. Neat installation! Spuncopper

Hey Marco Flamingo, I use to carry a paddle stowed that same way. However, whenever I washed down the interior or if we got caught in a heavy rain I ended up with water under the seat box. This required me pulling out everything and sponging it out each time. Since I've added another battery...

Thanks JamesTXSD :D
