Don't know if this will work for you but I started a while back mounting things with industrial sticky back velcro if I wasn't sure if I'd like the location. The stuff holds so good in some cases it became permenant mounting hardware. I even mounted my helm seat with it plus compass, rear view...

In recent years I've cruised from Oriental NC to Fort Meyers FL and most of the Saint Johns. I've found prices to vary from $60 per night to free. I haven't been to the Keys in many years but they seem to be really high from reports. I think the average in my travels would probably be around...

I'd definately go with the AGM's for the 16, mounted under the passenger seat they are hard to access for checking fluid level. I particuarly like the Sears AGM's they are expensive and some argue they are twice as much as lead acid but it you figure the cost difference over a three year span...

Jim I've got the Artic King and it cools fine in my 22. I store it in the v-berth in front of the helm. In my album in modifications section are pictures of it in the window and what I use to support it. I just stuff towels around it but some use black pipe insulation.

I guess what made the estimate seem high to me is you can buy a Garelick seat that looks just like the factory seat for $70 or the Garelick high back seat for $120. Of course these are probably made in China with slave labor.

I took my factory helm seat to a local upholstery shop today and got a price on replacing the bottom foam with a better grade and they gave me a price of $145 which I thought was rediculous. I know foam is expensive especially being a petroleum product but I thought this was crazy.

I assume you are talking about adding them to your photo album. To do that open your photo album on the top right click on album actions from the drop down menu select add photos a window will open that will allow you to select photos from your computer by clicking on browse and selecting photos...

Good info Jim I'm looking forward to your report I have the problem you mention about clearance after modifing my seat. Hope it works out well for you.

I've used an overhead boat lift for many years but mine is a sling lift so I can't offer any advice on bunks but I'd like to reinterate what Mike said. Lifts are great but it's very easy to get a finger or hand caught in a pulley while raising or lowering your boat. I've got a remote control for...

It will be really interesting to see how this plays out. I'm two years into my hull warranty on my 22 but as far as warranty goes little things that have come up (which were few) I have fixed myself. My dealer is Wefing and Marc but they are 250 miles away so unless I had something really...

Neat topic Jim. I love my C-Dory but agree as delivered it really wasn't very comfortable as far as seating. I modified my helm seat several times and still haven't found a perfect fit but like Charlie with auto pilot and a spinner knob I find my self navigating while standing a lot. Currently I...

Tracy wish I had some rain to send you it's been so hot and dry here I saw a fire hydrant chasing a dog the other day!

Hi Tracy I don't know if I will make it up again this year but if so pitching in for food and what ever would be a good thing. I was surprised to find that Mobile East picked up the tab for everything last year. I think Whittaker Pointe is a really nice place also and reasonably priced.

I agree with Joe here's another one but some of the reviews I read on it aren't that good. http://www.thewavebox.com/original.cfm

The tanks in my 2007 22 are actually 23 gallon tanks. I think the c-dory brochure said 25 but if you look on the side of the tank it says 23 gallon. I too have what appears to be about 3 gallons left when operating at cruising speed but at displacement speed you can get it down to about 1 1/2...

Surf City Pier?

My 22 is 25' OL from the back of the motor to the tip of the anchor so I would guess a 25 would be 28' OL.

When I had a 16 I used a cooler to balance the weight shifting it from side to side as needed. As far as the high pitch whine you describe I'd probably get someone else to operate the boat while you try to isolate the noise. Probably nothing to worry about. As too the bilge pump typically they...

The CO2 detector has a low voltage alarm and thats probably what you are hearing. I'd check the voltage of your batteries with a volt meter you may have a problem if the voltage has fallen to low the batteries may not recharge.

I've got two group 24's in my port lazarette and my start battery a group 24 in the starboard laz. I don't think 2 group 27's will fit in the port laz the 24's just barely fit.
