Just finished drilling out all the rivets. 29 of them. Didn't want to go the route of grinding down the material inside and pushing the rivet bodies through due to dust cleanup then. Probably going to go the machine screw/washer/nut route, but will decide that based on what is available at the...

Resurrecting this thread, as it seems to be more recent than the ones from 10 years ago. I had the tailend of my starboard front section of rub railing pop away from the boat last week. This was just about under my forward cleat, or next to the cabin helm. Pulling the rubber insert out, I...

FWIW, on my 25, I run one group 24 or group 27 marine starting regular flooded wet cell battery. Then I have two group 31 AGM's in parallel for my house batteries. I was using two group 29 flooded wet cell batteries up until a month ago. The Fwc have worked fine for me in the past, but I...

Welcome aboard C-Brats. I like the name C-Shepherd. I can't say that I've ever seen or heard that name. You could probably just do a search here on C-Brats for C-Shepherd or Tiger, and see if anything pops up. Colby

It would be illegal for the end user to do that reprogram. I don't think the manufacturers or dealers would be willing to give any info out on how to reprogram the MMSI number.

Quick question. I'm assuming you purchased the boat used and the MMSI registration was created by the previous owner. Have they transferred that number to you? The AIS-800 is a small box that I think would be mounted near easy access to the antenna and NMEA system. Since it has some indicator...

Never mind. Found it....

Just to reiterate a couple of points. First, regarding the rattle springs. I did have a situation in the past where all four had disappeared over time. However, after making the statement with the more recent issue, checking the brakes in the past week with the wheels pulled, I found only one...

I too have used the American Floor Mat, and had it in C-Traveler's cabin for 3 or 4 seasons, but it started to unravel somewhat, and leaving strands behind when I took it out to clean it. As the old adage says, you get what you pay for. I replaced it with the decadence last year. I had the...

Deckadence is very nice. A little pricey, but worth it. Easy to clean and will also let dirt and water flow thru it. I have purchased mine through Jim's Marine Flooring, as he can also sell scraps he has on hand for cheaper than a full piece would cost. It's easy to cut and fit. Here is a...

FWIW, I had a Merc 115 on my 22. During past Meet in the Middle gatherings, it seemed like many of us ended up racing on the way back from a day outing. I did outrun the 90's. But not by much. So I would say unless you are just looking to push or pull a heavier load, I don't think you are...

Hi Dave, That last post/question was from somebody else. But to answer your question, I still have not heard anything back from Dexter. The 135 I'm just going from memory and was way back on a much earlier trailer. Could have been 125. But I do know the oil bath run much cooler. I've been...

I agree with Big Swede, the Apostle Islands do offer some shelter. Isle Royal has quite a few inlets and places you can find shelter as well. Both of these areas are in Lake Superior. But there are stretches of water that you have to be weatherwise before heading out. The North Channel also...

I'm happy with American Family. But they are based here in Madison. My cost this year was $437. It's insured for actual cash value, and covers both motors, the hull and the trailer. That includes $15,000 for additional equipment (which I believe includes the trailer), or $10,000 per item on...

Dave, I believe the rubber bushing or "boot" is there for the slider pin to travel back and forth in. There is a cap on the end of it, and it's likely to keep dirt off the slider pin. Some of the other calipers I have seen do not use rubber, but rather have some type of metal boot or...

Thanks Steve and Dave, Donald and others. I no longer think it matters which side of the trailer. This time it was on the back axle on both sides. If I remember, this time the passenger side had both slider boots on the rear caliper completely missing, and the two boots on the drivers side...

As mentioned earlier, I have been pulling the pins at the end of the year, and then before any long trip, and regreasing them with a good quality caliper grease that is compatible with rubber. Perhaps it would be easier for me to remove the boot caps and then "oil" the top of the pin, assuming...

I sent them a message today. Will be interesting to see their reply. A quick google search leads me to believe they are not interchangeable. I've got 8 more of the rubber boots I carry with me, along with two spare calipers (and one at home), and several brake pad sets. Until I run out of...

Ok, I just uploaded more photos than I probably should have, and I'm still not done. Hope others are sending in their photos. 8) Colby

I wonder if those will interchange with the DB-35's? Currently I have 3 or 4 spare DB-35 Calipers, with brake pads, and then also several sets of spare brakpads. And just received ten caliper boots (p/n 33305). I think once my spare caliper boots are gone through, I will either consider...
