SO WHAT DID YOU DO WITH OR ON YOUR C-DORY TODAY??

What did I do on my C-Dory today? Well, I bit the bullet and did a rub rail repair. Well, I cheated. A fiberglass repair guy in town did it for me. Drilled out rivets, replaced with stainless screws, washers, and nylnuts. Now to decide if I should cover for aesthetic reasons the washers and nuts on the inside. What to use? Spray rubber like Flex Seal, paint, or something else? What have you guys used? or just leave it alone?

I just used 3M 4200 fast dry. It nearly matches the interior color and provides a seal the bolt, washer and locknut does not provide.
 
Hey all! today I verified my water separator/fuel filter would accommodate a 2nd fuel line for a kicker...and it does. I also ordered a 16x24 US flag and pole to use in the rocket launchers. The day before I ordered a sheet of King Starboard so I could make my own DIY bait/filet table. I'm planning to install a DIY stainless railing forward of the outboard motor, mounted to the forward facing splashwell bulkhead for mounting the filet table on. I'll use Burnewiin rail mounts and table bases for it.
 
Just installed volt meters on each of my batteries. Drilled 1 1/8" holes in battery box lid and installed volt meters that show voltage, %left, and shut off using built in switch. Bought them on Amazon. Linkstyle Battery Voltage Gauge, DC Voltage Meters. Come in pairs with all wiring for $16.99.

1) Retreived a spare anchor that was used to hold the stern from swaying in the Nor'Easter a few weeks ago. It held so well that it was buried deep and could not just be pulled up. Needed to do an end around with the Tomcat - pulling at idle the opposite direction did the trick.
2) Visited Deltaville, VA and left the town a souvenir - did the first (for me) holding tank/head pumpout.
3) Got a great quote for some dock work needed to accomodate the new Tomcat "ViewFinder". Needs more room than my Twin Vee 22'.
 
I removed & replaced the two fuel fill hoses & vent hoses and replaced the SS vents with new Atwood ones. The new ones prevent water intrusion, meet the new AYBC standard and don’t require an anti-siphon loop in the vent hose. The factory ones from 2006 had no loop and were directly fitted to the fuel tank via a down facing 90* vent.

It was challenging, to say the least, because reaching the lower fittings is tight and everything had to be placed & tightened by feel, as you can’t see them without removing the step.
