Since we bought the boat, we've come to understand that we are NOT boaters, but RV'ers so we are gonna go ahead and take the beating in order to move the boat out of our barn. Formatting may be messed up - if you want a properly formatted file send me a note. If you want to negotiate - we'll...

My wife does a Blog of our travels, mainly for the kids, but also as a keepsake for herself. As I don't trust internet sites to remain as they are when you start using them, I wondered if there was a way to "hardcopy" a Blog. I found Blog2print, and looks like it does what I want - easily. No...

You know it's tuff now-a-days if your address, or street, or subdivision isn't on the GPS map - hard to explain to some drivers how to deliver than new TV to an address that doesn't exist. Most maps in the US are provided by Navteq - here's a link to their corrections page...

I just ordered a RC30 remote control winch for the trailer of 'Fan-C-Dory'. I ordered the winch from the Power Winch site - Refurbished $200. I will run #6 cables direct from the battery to a set of Anderson connectors at the back of the pickup - cable is a twin #6 from the cableyard.com. I will...

Anyone hear from Byrdman ? With the Cumberland 12' above flood - has he taken to the boat yet ?

I'm installing a electric winch on my trailer that requires 8ga wire from the truck battery. Can I make a extension to continue this wire back to the batteries to keep the refer running while on the road? Fused at 50A. Ya, I know - disconnect it when stopped. Some of the trailer places have some...

Researching the towing laws in various states here - http://www.towingworld.com/articles/TowingLaws.htm I wonder about the logic behind some states allowing a max width of 8'6", yet limiting the max width on a trailer to 8' ??

Does the 150 Honda have the same engine computer as the automobile (with different settings) ? Where is the port located ?

My water pressure gage has not worked since I bought the boat. The pointer was pointing straight down. Yesterday I decided to dig into it. I pulled the line line fitting off of the engine and blew into it - nothing. I then hooked the compressor to it, still nothing. I disconnected the gage and...

Maybe of some use - for some. http://www.teex.com/teex.cfm?pageid=media&area=teex&templateid=23&storyid=990

Looking thru the photo album for Get~Aweigh, came across this one - http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_albumName=Installing-the-Electronics&id=Finally_home_005&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php My 25 also want to do the same,but I prevent it by cinching the winch...

I'm trying to locate the hand holds that some have installed on the brow of their C-Dory's - any pointers are appreciated. I can't even locate photos of the installs now.

SHE was talking to some folks yesterday, and their discussion turned to "summer plans", SHE related that we had spent last summer on the canals in N.Y.. He, Larry Anderson, said he knew a couple that did the same thing, they had a little boat they called 'Wild Blue'. Who'd a thunk it ? Said to...

Has anyone rigged a C-Dory with a mast/boom arrangement such as the one shown in the 4th photo on the following page? http://web.mac.com/islandrovercanada/iweb/Site/THE%20BOAT.html Interesting, looks like an ideal way for old folks to handle the dinghy, and how about a riding sail ? I have a...

As many (some) of you were fortunate enough to be present during the construction of your boats - a question. What is under the floor of the head on the 25'? My toilet is mounted directly to the floor using lag bolts, and I was wondering what they were screwed into.

On a 25' - how far back from the bow is your deck cleat ? If you have a windless, did the bow cleat have to be relocated ? How far aft is your windless ? I'm contemplating putting on a windless to assist the deck apes (me) but remembering the layout on Wild Blue I think my bow deck cleat must...

Can someone tell me WHY Washington uses WM on the boat registration instead of the more logical (did I say THAT?) WA ?

Has anyone actually load tested their Garhauer davit installation - with a realistic weight for lifting a person with wet clothes from the water and into the cockpit ? Just wondering, I've tested a few "safety" items in the past with some pretty spectacular failures, and when you need it isn't...

What do you folks living along the border do to keep Rogers in Canada from snatching your cell phone signal ? Seems like everytime I get within 50 miles of Canada my phone goes into international roaming.
