Thanks for the help, John. Did you mean to replace the Garmin filters, or to just remove them, as I have Racor filters between the sensors and the engines?

I have twin 90 Hondas on my 25 Cruiser, with a Garmin GFS 10 fuel sensor for each engine. They have worked well for a long, but just recently they are showing readings that are about double (in a good way) the usage of fuel. I updated the Garmin chartplotter, and that didn't make a difference...

I have had excellent service from Jesse at Bitterend Boatworks, in Bellingham. This spring I had them paint the bottom and do engine service on my twin Honda 90s. They are accommodating and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend them.

It seemed like there was a thread for this already, but I couldn't find it, so I will start a new one. I just had Jesse at Bitter End Boatworks, in Bellingham, WA do the yearly engine maintenance on my twin Honda 90s, as well as painting the bottom of my 25 Cruiser. I can't recommend him enough...

I did use the cut out pieces for each hatch. The material was thick enough to work well for this. The larger frame is 17" x 17", and the other is 17" x 9". The smaller one is on the starboard side which is slightly narrower than the port side. Now you can just lift up the cushion, and slide the...

Adding access to forward berth

I noticed that the new 25 C Dorys have access hatches under each cushion in the V berth, so I thought that would be a good thing to add. I see that other people have done this successfully in 22s, and 25s. I contacted the C Dory company, and purchased the two aluminum frames from them for about...
