I don't think these come in a clamp on type. I purchased a clamp on tpe with a capacity of 15 amps from Radio Shack. Bill Edgewater, MD

I don't remember the figures exactly, but with a fully charged battery, I think I was using around sixteen watts when the notebook was active. When I let it hibernate or simply closed the cover, it was only using one or two watts. When charging the battery and concurrently active (I didn't...

My son and I both have these. They are great. I did discover that the price tends to be a function of the amount of digital functionality. Some of the pricer models let you put in your electric rate (cents per kw hr or something like that). The "plain vanilla" ones my son and I have do...

I could not agree more regarding political posts. They have often seemed to become a mechanism where clever rhetoric becomes a vehicle for personal attack. There is no reason that any topic related to boating cannot be discussed in a civil constructive manner. I know individuals who are...

Roger, Unless I am mistaken, one of the contributing factors to this problem is that scientific journals seem to be either unavailable or minimally available online. Many (perhaps all?) are available with a fee, but unless things have changed, the fees were substantial. Additionally, although...

Roger, Your response did a fine job addressing points where clarification, amplification and examples were clearly needed. Thanks so much for you thoughtful and eloquent post. Bill Edgewater, MD p.s. Lynda who prefers not to post says "Thanks" as well.

The discussion regarding EQ was on an earlier thread, perhaps several weeks ago. I'm guessing that an accommodation (keeping them listed as dealers temporarily) was made to the dropped dealers to make it easier for them to clear their C-Dory inventories. There was a point where Cutter didn't...

Potterr, Regarding the wet bilge problem on your CD-25... The scupper check valves are only one component of the fix. You likely also need to modify the hatches in the cockpit floor so they leak a whole lot less. Finally, you may need to move the location of your freshwater pump as the...

When the factory gets a new dealer, that dealer has to have inventory to show and to sell to customers. The new dealer has to buy those boats from the factory. It seems to me that at a time when sales are less than stellar, acquiring a new dealer (or better yet, dealers) permits the factory to...

At the Annapolis Power Boat Show, Ruthie herself told me they were no longer a C-Dory dealer. I was quite sure several months ago that they were no longer a dealer and she confirmed it. Bill Edgewater, MD

Correction... The post I'd read and interpreted to mean that Scott Reynolds would be at the Annapolis Power Boat Show on Thursday made me realize I can't tell a Scot from a Scotty. It was Scott Richardson (Scotty) who was scheduled to be at the show that day. I appreciate Mr. Reynolds...

Unless I'm mistaken, the boat at the show had a GPS (probably a Garmin Sounder 498) and a radio. If it was like other Cutter equipped boats, it probably also had a windlass, an anchor, their "Coast Guard Package", and 50' power cord. Yes, Cutter is no longer a dealer. Service breaks into two...

I didn't notice how his trailers were sprung. My trailer, a Load-Rite aluminum roller trailer, uses torsion springs. The specs on my trailer have it with a weight of 1200 pounds. I'm a legend at Dave's Trailers having been rear ended towing the boat back from their shop last November. When...

I just returned from the Annapolis Power Boat Show. Given that C-Dory prices are a frequent topic on the forum, I thought folks might be interested in a couple prices I saw posted. Cutter Marine had a new 2007 CD-25 (moderately equipped ???) with a 2006 Honda motor for 70K. I think they...

I just returned from the Annapolis Power Boat Show. While there we saw that Dave's Trailers of Glen Burnie was present and I recognized one of the staff at the booth. Dave's Trailers is an incredibly well thought of trailer dealer in our area. I described the problem Bob had with his tires...
