I agree with T.R. I have a thermal circuit breaker located in the battery lazarette. This breaker feeds all house loads on my boat (including wipers, electronics and bilge pump rocker switch). If you do have a thermal circuit breaker and it is "open", this can be reset. From what you are...

Saw what looked like a 22 Cruiser trolling in San Pablo Bay outside the Rodeo Refinery today. Absolutely beautiful day you had.....no wind, flat water and a hot halibut bite. I hope you scored. I just watched you slow troll wishing I was out on the water today too.

On the back of the tach there will be the wire landing posts. I believe "power", "common", & "signal". If your DMM has the feature to measure hertz (Hz), then select this and measure between comm & signal with the motor at idle. If you see a measured value, you can further test this with a...

I ordered mine through Tanner (Tannermfg.com). I ordered mine with 6 rod holders. It is 316 stainless. I believe they may have have been the provider of arches for C-Dory at some time in history. They had the roof measurements and angles for the mounting feet. One word of caution though.....I...

I flew from the San Francisco Bay area up to Anchorage AK to meet the owner and check out his beautiful (like new) 22' Angler. I had arranged to have it checked out at a shop in Anchorage. The next day we launched it out of Whittier for a sea trial. Afterwards we worked out a deal and I had...

Thanks for all the great feedback! I'm going to pull the trigger and order a new surge actuator. I know there is overwhelming opinion favoring EOH over surge, but I think that as a Flatlander, it makes $ense for me to go with a $urge actuator. Along with all the great info on this site, my...

" are not designed to retract from the rotor, only to not apply an increased pressure. So, there is always some drag there. " I agree. I was told that there is some run-out on the rotor by design. It is this "high" spot on the rotor that will push back the pad/piston when there is no...

Thank you Dr. Bob. I did shoot the area with a lot of penetrating oil. I am sure that you are correct about rust/crud/etc. buildup that is causing the hanging up of the brakes. I think that all that is in there is the bracket and a return spring. I already have the replacement UFP A-75 in an...

I am using this thread to bring up my issue with extremely hot hubs. I have a single axle, disc brakes with a UFP A-70 surge actuator. I replaced my calipers & pads last year. I just recently replaced all bearings and races with new. Fresh Lucas Hub oil in the hubs. The last time I towed...

I have twin 50s and have noticed a similar issue with my starboard tach. The tach would display excessive RPMs when running the throttles about the same. No difference in sound of motors. I tested this while running the 50s at idle. After they warmed up a bit, the port displayed just a hair...

I am planning on replacing the Kodiak 225 calipers on my single axle EZ-Loader. The piston is not retracting well enough which is causing some pad drag and unnecessary heat to the hubs. The calipers look pretty rusted. I have a new set of Kodiak 225 silver Dacroment coated calipers ready for a...

Unfortunately they don't sell C-Dorys any longer. Pretty much Boston Whalers these days. When I was in the market, I had asked SportCraft Marina to send me a quote. They sent me a .pdf of their boat packages along with additional options available. That will give you an idea price-wise.
