I have an old Garmin Ac/Pc Adapter, p/n 010-10276-00. Says it's for a GPSMAP 2006 / 2006C. I forget what I used it for, but it wasn't a 2006, so it must work for other stuff as well. Anyone that wants it, can have it. Just let me know and be ready to put the cost of shipping in the Tip Jar...

My 22 came with an EZ-Loader tandem aluminum trailer. Bunks, not rollers. It was a great trailer. I replaced the old trailer my 25 came with, with a Load Rite. Again, tandem axle aluminum. It works well also. My 22 came with surge drum brakes and I replaced them with straight electric drum...

HI Steve, To my knowledge, only the first FOB started, ie the skippers, kills the outboard. And a passenger can restart the boat after a few seconds, so they can come rescue you. The other Fob's that are started after the first one, will only set off a warning horn, but the motor will not...

Hey Harvey. Better late than never. lol. I've had my Fell MOB+ installed now for a season. For the most part I like it. However, occasionally I'll have an issue where the device kills the outboard when I don't want it too. I've got both my main and kicker hooked up through it. Seems like...

John, at 7mph, our boats are starting to plow. I would suggest no more than 5mph maximum for slow speed minimum wake. (1200-1300 rpm). And for no wake, down to about 3-4 mph. (1000rpm).

Ah, that makes sense now. Thanks for the drawing. I'd be very tempted to buy this cover from you, but I'm not sure about putting the eyebolt in there. If you get another buyer, take their money and run. lol. If you don't get it sold before or during Hontoon, let me know. I've been thinking...

Thanks for those photos Dale. I have never used the Snad snaps before. Is the adhesive on them really that strong? I don't think I'd have any issue running a line around my roof mounted radar (it's towards the bow), and then either around my bow mounted search light, or rig up something to go...

Hey Dale. I might be interested in the bow rain cover. Can you tell me more about it, how it’s attached under the brow, etc. I’m not coming to Hontoon this year as Rosanne is going on a medical mission to El Salvador over that same time period Colby

Hey Harvey, Glad to see you back on C-Brats! lol. The first time Rosanne and I did this trip, we took an extra day or two after the event and cruised up to Old Sacramento and spent the night in the marina, returning the next day. River was flowing pretty good at that time, due to spring run...

Works for me. Would be nice to have another slow boater with me. And there are some nice spots near the Duck Club to anchor and wait for the others if we get there before them. I actually plan on arriving Rio Vista, or nearby, on the 17th. But planning 500 miles a day driving out 2000 miles...

Thanks Steve. That was what I was thinking. 😊

Question. I know everyone pretty much runs fast (on plane) on this cruise, except in no wake zones, but would it be a problem if any of us (like me lol) wanted to run slow to conserve fuel and enjoy the scenery a little more? I know the Duck Club has a tricky entrance, but I am familiar with...

If you still have room, I think I'd like to bring C-Traveler out on this cruise again. Immediately afterwards I will be heading north and joining two of my other cruising buddies to cruise up the west side of Canada, possibly as far as Prince Rupert. So I may decide to skip Benicia and do the...

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...
