    LoadRite Trailers

    I bought a LoadRite Elite aluminum trailer for our 17' Carolina Skiff in 2019. I had wiring issues with the trailer blowing fuses in our tow vehicle. I was troubled to notice in my case the wiring was not really a tin coated marine wire used to wire the trailer. I fixed an intermittent short...

    Hudson River Cruise, looking for advice

    We put in at the Liberty state park in Jersey City. Liberty landing state park is close by and has fuel, spectacular views of NYC at night. They have water taxi service a lot of different points in NYC. We got a rental car and I took the truck and trailer up to Rouces Point New York at the...

    Is shutting down the economy worth it?

    So I guess China's involvement with the virus is a conspiracy theory? I hate when facts get in the way of political talking points? I think there might be a forth group. The ones who can only point fingers at the white house instead of realizing this was a failure by both America's political...

    Is shutting down the economy worth it?

    I don't blame Trump. What I think is rich is the experts (including the surgeon general) at first told us that wearing a face mask would actually be detrimental to the person wearing the mask. I get it that M 95 surgical masks were in short supply. But what a turn around. Now by law we have to...

    Cockpit slant back cover pictures

    You can look at the Will-C photo album. A 23'Venture but you'll get the idea. A zipper across the top back of the cabin which was also shared by the camper back canvas. Snaps down the the side and along the splash well were also shared by the camper back. Jean's Canvas out of Belford New Jersey...

    New Honda tow vehicle coming soon

    The Passport's owner manual shows a maximum tongue weight of 500 pounds with two people in the vehicle. Each additional occupant reduces max tongue weight by 25 pounds. Obviously any other additional cargo in the vehicle affects the tongue weight accordingly. To have the Max towing rating of...

    At anchor CPAP machine

    I always travel with a $35 dollar 400 watt inverter. I plug it in a cigarette lighter type 12vdc outlet and plugged in a 6 way power strip to the inverter. Plugged the C-Pap machine into that along with charging phones using the regular 120 volt style plug in chargers. Also good for charging...

Sold the Ranger Tug now a 18' center console Grady White Fisherman. Got settled in the new home in late July. Much more time for boating this year; God...

The towing package (700+ dollars) is dealer installed option that includes adding a transmission cooler with a the 2" receiver hitch and a round seven pin trailer harness female receptacle. I...

    Battery Choices

    I would look at lead acid filled batteries from Wal-Mart. Lots of boaters, Tugnuts swear by them. D.D.

    C Dory cancelling dealers

    I always thought the reason used C-Dory's sold well is that the new ones really weren't much different from the older boats. Many people don't want to buy a boat in a kit form. The factory could embrace some of the insulating of the interiors done by some of the C-Brats. I always thought a...

    Where have all the boaters gone?

    For me I think that most people are turned off by the way with a boat you are expected to be able to trouble shoot and make repairs even while under warranty. I had a defective Garmin radar dome. The first thing they tell you to do is start with moving connections to different communication...

    Should we add a sub site for seasport?

    I always am always amazed at this FREE site. Everyone has lots of ideas but who does all the work? Maybe it's ok if the administrators want to take it on I guess. My vote is to leave well enough alone. I'm sure there is a capable person to be able to start there own site for their particular...

    Smart Plug Discussion

    I always thought that the thermal breaker on the boat's inlet was a great idea. It's easy enough to convert your existing power cord with a Smart Plug end. I did not see the need to spring for one of their power cords as ours seemed fine. Good product and a great company. IMHO D.D.

    Share a lobster on the Maine coast

    I would look up the Hunky Dory aka Rick From Maine and the Widget aka Dave Seaton they are avid C-Dory folks who maybe not be online all the time. The first question that might come up is "Who's Buying" D.D.

    Trailer Wheel Bearings Question

    Maybe the one of the brake pads was not all the way retracted. After the tighten up it got moved over. Take it out for a spin and after a couple miles check the hub temps if they all run about the same I'd run with it. Maybe the one seal was different? I'd keep an eye on the wheel seal and the...

    Transom Saver

    I have no interest in the company. I just saw it as new product. I'm ok if no one buys it. Yamaha sells a similar device like the last poster's link illustrates. It just slides over the tilt ram and has a rubber snubber. Just adjusting the tilt down puts pressure on the rubber snubber. With the...
