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
