I do not have time to list this on eBay or take it to the swap meet. Anybody need any of this? I replaced my autopilot (yay me!) and this is pure surplus. All working fine when I removed it, but won't function without a rudder position sensor, NOT INCLUDED. Also not included is the actual...

So I'm going to re-bed the plastic "glass". Um, this is a pretty intimidating projects. So there is no "shelf" to support the lens material at the proper height. I guess that the soft gasket IS the shelf?

It's not very big, but all the gelcoat is gone and I'm looking at glass fiber. Photos here. What do I do? Thanks! PS how did it happen: Boat dock wasn't properly maintained, big wave action shoved the hull against a big bolt.

Been with them 14 years, never missed a payment, never had a claim. Why going up??? Anybody else?

What did I do wrong? It runs for a bit and then the "no oil" alarm kicks on and limits idle speed and then shuts it off. I sort of assume that oil isn't passing through the new filter, somehow. Because why? Because the new filter is the only component that's different from earlier today, when...

OK, my Wallas finally stopped working, and a call to Scan Marine confirmed that it will cost too much $$$ to fix it. ESPECIALLY when you consider I almost never use it. I cook out in the cockpit on the Magma grill or the little red Coleman Fold-N-Go propane stove. Aboard Two Lucky Fish, the...

Anybody remember WAY back in 2007 when I had this problem? http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?p=84415&sid=a98d5144774072575dc187f2796fb151 Documented the ultimate solution at Navagear, as well: http://www.navagear.com/2007/11/01/my-johnsons-fixed/ In a nutshell, I had corrosion of the Engine...

I've got some fluids I would like to use for this spring's maintenance. The issue: I don't do my own maintenance every single year, so some of the lubricants I have on hand are 4 or 5 years old. Do they degrade? Can I still use them? Here's what I'm intending to use: Power trim/steering fluid...

I'll admit it: My King trailer has been neglected. I've stored the boat in the water and only used the trailer for brief in-town trips to Jacobsen's for engine service. Now that I'm going to store the boat on the trailer and tow it over distances and at speed, I feel like I should make sure...

It's been a long time coming, but with the birth of little Tristan last fall, and Kiera getting too big to ride comfortably in the back seat of my 4-cylinder Toyota pickup, and the ongoing need to actually USE my boat trailer, we bought something bigger. It's a Toyota Sequoia, with the third...

I'm not sure about changing the name on the boat, but I should probably let all our C-Brat friends know that Julia and I are expecting a child sometime in mid-October. Tim

Complete non sequitur for my C-Brats friends, but I figure some of you might ACTUALLY be interested! I would like to invite all of my fellow C-Brats in the Seattle area who also happen to be pipe band enthusiasts (Hmmm...that may be a pretty small group, come to think of it!) to our big Kirkland...

I need to bring an immersion (survival) suit along on a ten-day offshore passage. I don't want to buy one. What are my options? Rental? Borrow? Thanks!

What the what?! My Suzuki-manufactured 2004/5 Johnson 90 (EFI, 4-stroke) outboard started "rattling" or "clicking" at high RPMs. First time I noticed it was in October 2010, and today when I ran back and forth in the speed testing lane on Seattle's Lake Union, I got exactly the same thing...

Two Lucky Fish has been in my driveway for about a month now. In that time, I've completed a bunch of projects. Among them:Engine 1000-hour service, including water pump overhaul and high-pressure fuel filter replacement. Professional detailing. This boat has NEVER looked so good under my...

Apparently, my boat has completely unique wiper arms/blades, even though the motor assembly looks pretty standard. I can't find a blade refill, or even a blade assembly, that looks the same. I've searched the threads here, and if the information is already on the site, I can't find it. It's...

It isn't about C-Dory, but the word "C-Dory" is mentioned in the article: It's in the story about sea lions: Tribes help haze sea lions to save salmon on Columbia

Calling all peeps! I need a banker who specializes in SBA or other small business loans. Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? Thanks!
