I had that problem with mine. Just go thru and clean and lube every moving joint and my guess is it will be just fine.

Where is the motor located? I would love to see it in person. I might be stopping in Newport on our way home. If I do I'll drop you a note.

Steve the seat looks pretty good overall, just wondering if 1: do you you the head rest at all and 2: if not could it be removed? Thanks.

Handsome boat, what a beast. So what sort of drive is it? I/O, shaft drive? If it is shaft drive how much water do you need to launch it as compared to I/O. You cant tell from the pictures where the motor is located, I'm assuming in the cockpit. If so, is there a motor box you have to work...

I would guess that there was some sort of medical event or running on auto pilot as there is no fishing open in the area at this time. This was the area i fished for many years and am familiar with the shoreline. The banks in the area are quite steep and trees are constantly loosing their...

Ok Dave lets fgure this out. But first youve got to ask and answer some questions for yourself. But before we do all that I'll give you the short answer based on what I know. I know youve stated you want to go under a bridge that measures 10' clearance at a 4.5' tide. I know you mentioned...

Rick, I had a similar problem with pots hitting the side of the boat when using my Scotty pot puller. I remedied that by buying a davit kit from Discovery Bay marine gerr. Its a schedule 40 aluminum 2 piece davit with mounting brackets. I had an aluminum plate welded ant an angle aiming...

Yes, by all means. Our C25 had them installed I think from the factory. It seems to me that every boat I've ever owned had them. I use them to attach my rear tiedown stramps to the trailer for towing. I have also put a towing bridal on for towing the dingy although I found it easier to just...

If you plan a few days in the San Juans to cruise in your '16', I'd allow another couple days grace period for weather conditions. It's one thing to go across Rosario Straight on a nice sunny day and it's another thing after you get across and the weather turns south. But, as I recall there...

This product looks pretty good and comes in a variety of thicknesses. I would guess that a 3/16" thickness would work pretty well in the v-birth area. I have some I believe polyester fiber cloth (monkey fur) that is used on the inside of many boats that I was planning on using in my 25', but...

I got some spray carpet cleaner from the auto parts store that worked wonders. It takes a little elbow grease but worth the effort. There are a variety of carpet cleaners to choose from. Can't remember the name of it but it probably doesnt matter too much, Just try it out in a hidden area...

Thanks TyBoo. I appreciate all the work you and Da Nag do to make this work. Hopefully it won't be too much effort to get a location in there somewhere. I noticed on some folks posts that under the circle with their last initial in it that there is info on that person and in some cases it...

1: I am having an issue finding folks on the members list and am wondering if I'm going about it all wrong. If I don't know their login name then I can't seem to be able look them up. With the old site you'd get the entire list of everyone that had ever joined the site which had its own...

Dennis, on your first Alaska trip, what was your normal cruise speed on your trip north and then while you were in Alaska. How long did you take to make that trip? Did you keep track of your total fuel consumption and engine hours starting at Friday Harbor/Anachortes? I'll really be curious...

Congratulations on your boat. looks to be a very capable boat with a great engine that will service your for years to come. It appears you've got the game figured out for the fishing and crabbing. I sold my 18' Olympic boat to a gal that lives in Homer in the summer months and she fishes for...
