When I had my 22, I had a connector rod. It could only be installed with both motors down. With the cable system, either motor can be in either position. If you decide to go with that system, be sure to follow the directions to grease the rod on the kicker side at the very least, annually. I...

I have a cockpit helm, so that makes it a little different. I have hydraulic steering, and use seastar's cable tie system that goes between the kicker and main. Thus, I can steer either motor from either position. (Cabin or Helm). My main's throttle is at the cabin helm, while the kicker...

Rosanne was wondering if you got Cat-O-Mine fixed yet and back on the water. I'll show her this. :-)

I had every intention of making the gathering this year, but as of now, looks like I'll be cruising with two of my cruising buddies between Anacortes and farther north, possibly Prince Rupert. Planning to be on the water from late April until end of June, so you may see us if you are on the...

Hi Dave, Just curious which FB Group site. Thought I'd go take a look and see if I can figure anything out. I'll let Gary answer if there is another way. But I suspect other than finding someone to order one for you, it probably has to be done at Lulu. FWIW, I ordered early, got the first...

Dan, this would be an excellent opportunity for you to check out the various C-Dorys. I will not be able to make this year's gathering, but I've made 9 or 10 in the past, and we always have time to show folks our boats, which many times include all from the 16' to the Tomcat 25' and the 26'...

Just received my calendar today. I do want to note one correction. The photo at the top of November states C-Traveler at Neville Bay, TN, Cumberland River. While I took the photo, the actual boat in the photo is the Little Joe, owned by Mike and Christy. As usually, there are some beautiful...

Thanks big time. I'm still learning how to find things on this updated site!

I was just going to grab photos from my computer files and upload a few here, but then realized that in cleaning up my computer I deleted all my Midnight Flyer photos. Probably not one of my smarter moves! (I figured since I had put most my mods in albums here, and sold that boat, I didn't need...

Tyboo or DaNag, has any improvement been made on categorizing our photo albums? I was trying to find Midnight Flyer's nested album on its kicker install, and didn't have any luck finding that album or photos.

Both my previous 22 and my current 25 have the kicker on the starboard side. Not a problem. If you can find it, my photo album for Midnight Flyer, (my previous 22), has an embedded album of my kicker install on that boat.

Yeah! I just ordered mine. Shipping was just shy of $6 for the cheapest method to Wi. Colby. Happy Thanksgiving all!

Just saw this excellent link in regards to the removal of Dangling Rope Marina at Lake Powell. I visited Dangling Rope Canyon this past April and October when I was on Lake Powell. Sad to see everything gone, but with the lower water levels I don't think there would be room for the facilities...

Any word on when the 2026 calendar will be available?

Rosanne and I will be bowing out this year. Rosanne is planning on going on a medical mission to El Salvador during the same time frame, and we both chose that I stay home during this time, rather than coming solo to Hontoon. This gathering is definitely one of my favorites, and the perfect...
