Yes - My fuel lines were hardening and when I went to replace them I was informed of the change. On the new hose is: MPI MARINE FUEL 350-0560 SAE J1527 USCG TYPE A1 ISO 7840-A1 CE 5/16 ID USA

It's my understanding that this bridge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxTZ446t ... %20narrows was left in the bottom. It could have some affect on the flow maybe?? Bill

Be sure to clean any remnants of the old decal. I've been very satisified with mine. A lot of work went into the detail. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have trouble. Bill

The planet is now three inches off it's axis due to the earthquake in Chile. GPS's will gradually become inaccurate. Think Loran-C might get a little respect now? Bill

Hello all you pessimists. Before you throw your Lorans in the trash can, you can give it to me. :wink: This optimist has heard rumors for many years, they were closing down Lorans. I already know that they are not going to tear down those transmitters. Logic tells me that the new president...

The new West Marine "2010" annual Catalog has a picture of what looks like a 19ft Angler C-Dory coming in an inlet with a light house. I would guess it is on the East coast. Check page 136. Maybe someone can pin it down. Bill

It's my understanding is that the transmitters will transmit the same signal as those Loran's receiving Latitude & Longitude numbers. They are working on a chip for GPS units that will take over if the GPS is knocked out. Some of those new loran transmitters have already been installed. The...

Disconnecting LORAN is asking for trouble. I support denny-o. GPS is wonderful and simple to operate until the screen goes black. Yes - I have a LORAN-C and I like the accuracy. Bill

Last year I found the drain plug tube was fractured and leaking water. Don't know how long it's been that way. The tube from the splash pan was short and allowing water into the wooden portion of the transom. Thinking the Tolands were still there, I took the boat in to have the transom sealed...

That's odd!! My 1991 C-Dory Cruiser has the tip of a screw on the inside of the transom midway to the Portside. I recently noticed very minor leakage of water. On the outside, no screw head is visable. I have covered that portion of the boat for the time being. Does the new C-Dory owner...

Thanks Byrdman, Very impressive. I'd like to read the details. I'm 70 also and still standing with nothing to show for it. :cry: Bill

When I first took possession of my C-Dory back in October 1990, I was sold on cored hulls. Last year, I paid $1,900 to have the core in the starboard transom corner repaired. The dealership had said "Don't worry, the balsa is on end grain." You better worry because a large section under the...

Bob - You're caught up on the recalls. To my knowledge they have not issued a recall on the pulleys. Quite sometime ago, I read something regarding the serpentine belt and changing the belt. Ford warned that loss of the belt would result in loss of braking & power steering. I believe they...

Steve - My cam shaft sensor was replaced earlier this year. The Ford dealer in Susanville Friday, told me that my cruise control was on recall because there is a possibility that it would catch fire. They will fix that along with other repairs. Ken - I like your outlook - And you're right...

I had to get a tow truck to take my truck to the local Ford dealership in Susanville. They had to order a compressor. The price on just the compressor is $707. For $707, it better be good. There is damage to the fan and the serpentine belt. With the pulley bouncing around between the engine...

Those of you who tow your boat with a 1997 F-250 Powerstroke need to be aware of what occured to me yesterday. I was lucky as I was not towing anything. I have 144,000 miles on my truck and it is serviced regularly. I was coming home from Grants Pass OR and usually cut across from Shasta on...
