GulfCoast John: Wow. I did not see the 3800 when I bought the 3600 a couple months ago. Maybe it's new? Only $100 more that would've been nice. But the 3600 is plenty for me to get through at night at anchor. I put in the 30 Amp auto-xfer switch since that is traditionally how to simultaneously...

Thanks for the hospitality! I do hope to stop in and say hello. I’m getting a late start so I am not sure if I’ll launch in Chattanooga or perhaps in Demopolis. Technology is rapidly changing and these type units have become wildly popular. The Pecron has a 5 year warranty and good overall...

I decided instead of upgrading to Lithium batteries to just install a large power station. The 20 year old CruisAir AC unit was on its last legs so I yanked it out and started looking for something that would fit that locker. I found the 3kWh Pecron E3600LFP fits the locker perfectly. This...

Ok. Thanks for the info on the Dowsil. I'll have to tackle this when I return later this year. Right now the leak is not too bad and hopefully doesn't get worse until I have time to fix it correctly.

Thanks for the tips. Yes there was a little wet core on the port side after I made the new cutouts. I carved it out about 1.5" deep until I hit solid core, routed the rest of the exposed core, then filled it all in with West Systems Six10 Epoxy. After it cured I used the Boat Life Sealant...

Finally got warm enough weather here to work with adhesives & epoxy. New hatches are in!! I also have four 6" round screw in deck hatches that seem to have good seals between their frames and the deck but all are missing their little O-Rings. Found some at McMaster-Carr for $8 for a pack of 5...

2006 25 Cruiser front center window slightly leaks: The rubber gasket around the front center window is shrinking at the corners as shown in the photo and I have noticed a little water leaks in when it rains (between the glass and the frame on the inside). It appears the previous owner tried to...

I am undertaking this "aft hatch replacement project" on my "new to me" 2006 C25 due to significant water intrusion there. So I purchased 2 of the Innovative Product Solutions Boat Hatches (520-625) and noticed the same issue Colby had with the bowed frames. Both my hatches also have a 1/4" gap...

That 20 mile stretch of Interstate highway is treacherous! It's filled with tractor trailers and is almost always bumper-to-bumper traffic b/c of the multiple exits and highway changes (I-24/I-75/I-59). People have to dart from lane to lane to stay on track. It connects Atlanta, Chattanooga...

This is a similar product that the US Navy uses to insulate our fleet of submarines on the inside hull surface areas. It not only insulates them for acoustics but also thermally.

A product specific to woven marine fabrics like Starbrite is also a good suggestion. Also a mild diluted soap and water solution is probably good for day to day maintenance.

Ok. We’re scheduled for another marine survey late next week and I will be there to see the boat during inspection, and sea trial. So hopefully all that goes well. The info I posted in #1 above was from a survey done by someone else a couple weeks ago. The seller kindly shared the info on the...

Thank you for the replies. What a great community and resource this is for owners. I just watched a couple videos of drilling out the holes larger, inspecting the core for damage, then filling the larger holes with a 2 part thickened resin, curing, then drilling and remounting the hardware. That...

Hey C-Brats! I am new to C-Dorys and hope to find a good one to enjoy on the Great Loop next year. I love the simplicity of these boats. In particular I am looking at an 06 C25 that was professionally surveyed and the surveyor found high moisture readings in one of the hull stringers (the only...
