I would consider that temperature changes could cause the dinghy to sag and either cause stress points from external or internal objects as it drooped over the cart and/or could drag on the ground. Might be better to store it standing on end (like they do in the local dinghy showroom).

You might look into putting a line between the dock and the pole that separates the slips (port side of the C-Dory in the pictures). This gives you something to grab onto on that side of the boat. If the line is low enough, it can provide a catch to the hull to keep it from going too far to port...

The wiring diagram says that the AC power is 230V. Doesn't say how long it takes to heat water at 200W, but it probably takes awhile. One of the customer reviews says 2.5 hours.

I would put a cleat along the dock a little forward of the helm side window. When departing I'd use a loose line looped around the cleat (i.e. holding both ends). When departing I would use this line and the motors to keep the boat straight as I left the dock. When far enough out, release one...

No green light, no input power.

Dig out the rotted/wet wood. Fill the void with epoxy filler (either premixed or make your own). Clean up the opening after filling and reinstall the hardware. Use butyl tape under the hardware for sealing.

There is a new standard for dock electrical systems regarding ground-fault protection. These can be very sensitive. The electrical systems on older boats often have problems with the newer dock pedestals.

Typical for a low rpm prop.

Make sure your anodes are the right material for salt water.

Yes, but shipping or transportation costs would be expected by a reasonable buyer to be different for things shipped large distances vs. short. Having the transportation cost a line item on the invoice or sticker makes this clear.

Use the upside down umbrella trick to catch dropped parts. If you're in the PNW you probably have one nearby. https://preview.redd.it/and-upside-down-umbrella-keeps-all-your-tools-and-fittings-v0-jopx1r310tm61.jpg?auto=webp&s=ba00c1c8b4c6023c8db6e02c3cbe833acb0358ca

By the time the dealer has one up sale, they are going to have a really good idea of what they want to sell it for. It's the price of the boat plus all the installed equipment whether they added it or they bought the boat with the stuff installed by the factory. If they are selling the boat...

Two things IMO. 1) Yes, equipment makes a difference in the price, but (for example) cars have varied equipment and it is pretty easy to find out the price of a new car with whatever equipment you want from the choices the dealer offers. Cars have MSRPs that allow comparisons, even though the...

I wonder what the reason for not showing prices is? I've seen other manufacturers do this (e.g. Ranger Tugs). If a dealer has a new '25 model sitting on the lot, they can publish a price, but not a new '26?

I use a 4KW heater in my uninsulated two car garage. When it is 40deg F out it can raise the inside temp to 60deg F. Since these heaters usually don't shut when they reach the set temp (just throttle down), I expect that a 4KW heater in a 22 is overkill. It might depend on where you do most of...

I would use this to attach the Starlink antenna to one of the roof rails. https://rammount.com/products/rap-404-sta1u?srsltid=AfmBOorjfJ88uT1oaCxrz4rZNTiTnJrs_LC4MK6nXqnelPTl0nlsnV1F

Especially in CA.

This the charger I am using in my van conversion. The charging current can be set to a lower value if your alternator can't handle sending 50A to the battery. https://www.renogy.com/products/renogy-12v-24v-ip67-50a-dc-dc-battery-charger-with-mppt Newer units have fancier features (like...

You could use a single ~300Ah battery instead of dual batteries. Lithium batteries are not meant for starting engines (although there are some that claim that they can). Boat motor alternators may not be able to support the current load of charging Li batteries without some sort of intermedary...

I use Walmart size 24 dual purpose marine FLA batteries. I have two in the starboard lazerette. They are around $100ea and for me they last 5-6 years. I run on one battery and have the other for reserve.
