Don't know how many of you do on-line purchasing from Defender but I do occasionally. They were recently hacked and my credit card number was compromised as well as thousands of others. USAA has a good security protocol and they caught it immediately but still a pain. Makes you rethink on-line...

I recently purchased a boat mainly for fishing and it came with a hummingbird 798cI with sidescan. While at the coast and playing with the chartplotter I found the included chart has absolutely no detail, no bottom points, contours, nothing. I find if you want any real chart information you...

I know a few of you have stored your c dorys on the hard in Anacortes for the winter and was wondering where you stored it and approximate costs. I am thinking of taking my sailboat out of the water late next fall and putting it in storage till the following spring. Anacortes seemed like a...

My cruiser is now for sale, see the ad in the lower right corner near the bottom. But really wanted to thank Mike (Tyboo) for giving me the necessary help in getting the pictures into my album. Couldn't have done it without him.

For those of you unfamiliar with the central oregon coast go to you-tube and search "depoe bay kadaho". This will show you the ocean which is pretty common this time of year. The video is two parts, so don't miss the second part. It will show you what it is like to enter depoe bay in less...

Anyone have any recommendations for a trusted site to download a free, basic office program. There are lots of free downloads out there but I don't want to download a bugged one.

The cockpit side of the door in my 1996 22' has gotten some mildew on it from sitting all winter covered. Anyone have a miracle cure to remove the mildew. I had some fiberglass cleaner sitting nearby and tried that but it didn't phase it. Somewhat afraid to try a clorox solution.

What is everyone using for grease for the KingMarine trailers with the superlube axles. I bought what I thought was the correct blue lithium grease but today noticed the warning on the back, "not suitable for axles with stainless steel disc brakes". Where do you purchase it? I live in a small...

I purchased my last three canisters from sportsmans' wharehouse for an extreme amount of money. The go quite a ways but there has to be a cheaper way. Anyone no of a commonplace outlet that sells the 8 oz canisters for less than $3?

I am surprised no one here has mentioned this. This could potentially have a huge impact on all of us, as well as the rest of the world. Apparently in our Presidents' zeal to deliver on his promise of 4G to all citizens he coerced the FCC into granting bandwidth to this firm called...

I have decided on a single purpose radar, probably a Furuno 1623. Is the installation something an amateur can do? I am confident I can get it mounted and the cabling run, but I was wondering how hard it is to get it adjusted and functioning properly. The suppliers want about $500 to do the...

I just purchased a new fish finder and was wondering if anyone has ever successfully attached the transducer to the hull with glue or adhesive of some sort? I hate to think about drilling new holes in the transom.

We have had it all so far this fall in the northwest, now the wife is headed for home to see if the c-dory became a ufo. A tornado touched down in Aumsville Oregon a couple miles from us about an hour ago and leveled at least one city block. We don't get tornados here. I am more worried about...

In the 22' I purchased last spring there are two group 24 batteries in the lazarrette. I haven't bothered doing anything with them or even poked around much to see what is happening there, other than monitoring their condition. Thought I would wait till winter to get into it. But, I can see...

I noticed in a lot of pictures that lots of folks are carrying their dinghys on the roof of their 22's. I have a 2.85 Avon that is a bit on the heavy side (59#) but I want to try to carry it up there as well. Some people have them right side up, some upside down. Is there any concern about...

I did look through the engine forum for an answer but didn't find anything specific for my problem. I have twin 35 hondas. The steering effort to turn left is way too much, and with hands off the boat will immediately turn right. The tabs on the motor legs have been adjusted with additional...

I noticed on my new to me c-dory 22' with twin 35 hondas that when I tilt the port engine down into the water there is a thin trail of bubbles coming out of the rear of the joint where the engine leg and lower unit mate. Is this a matter for concern? I have not yet checked the lower unit but...

Here is an easy question for some of you. The boat I just purchased has twin Honda 35's. I am told by the mechanic that the engines should not be perfectly parallel, front to back, but slightly towed in in the rear. Has anyone else done this? If so, what should the difference in inches or...
