    Twin 20"s on a CD-16?

    Totally agree with the NADA value issue of the C Dory. Just like when you sell a piece of property the relator will tell you "Location, Location, Location" This is very true with our C Dory's. Their location is our Moorings, Slips, Docks, and Trailers. And if you plan on moving my C Dory to...

    Twin 20"s on a CD-16?

    That is my plan when I have to repower! Twin 25's :smilep probably (Merc's). 4 stroke of course. I will re-evaluate the best option when the time comes. Personally I have used Mercury, Honda, Yamaha, and Tahatsu over the years with various hulls. As long as I kept the maintenance up I had no...

    Wrap-around all-round light?

    I haven't seen one, and I tried searching the web for you as well but no luck so far. I was just wondering? I bet if you put 4 mast head lights or similar led lights around the perimeter of the pole, you would accomplish the same 360 degree visibility asked for in the col reg rules. Of course...

    Fuel odor in cockpit!

    Febreeze is a wonderful things! I actuall have 4 tanks that came with Sweet Pea (two 6 gallon and two 12 gallon) currently I pick and choose depending on the weekends plans. I do think that the 6 gallon tanks have thicker walls. But the 6 gallon tanks have about half the surface area as the 12...

    Fuel odor in cockpit!

    That is what I was saying in my first post concerning permeating odors. Recently I have been researching the benefit of installing permanent twin fixed tanks verses the two portable Moellers I have now. My original thoughts were from the perspective of odor control when the full camper back is...

    Fuel odor in cockpit!

    Virtually all plastic gas tanks allow gas odors to permeate through the plastic. They are especially noticeable when in a closed in space. An odor isn't an indication of fumes being at a volatile level to cause ignition via a spark. It basically is just a nuisance odor. It is always a good idea...

    Boating at night

    If you mount them on the window visor starboard and port where the forward and side windows meet, they will be clearly visable and well within code.

    Boating at night

    Been living on this Mississippi Gulf Coast most all of my life and traveling on the water here since I was a kid. I love being on the water at night. Actually predawn is awesome. That is actually my favorite time and when running a charter (part time business) I can't believe they are paying me...

    Boating at night

    If you don't have any of the first 4 items then a Bible is a must! A direct line of communication with GOD is always an asset.

    Permanent Tank Under Port Side Passengers Seat?

    I don't believe fumes should be a problem. However I ultimately decide to do this project (Fore, Aft, or Mid) It will have a top fill and overflow vent on the topside of the deck, whatever location it ends up. I love the whole saddle tank idea, but the aftermarket versions are about 1-1 1/2...

    Permanent Tank Under Port Side Passengers Seat?

    It is for gas. Well I was planning on putting a Tee valve in the back in case I needed extra fuel vial a portable tank for those longer trips.

    Permanent Tank Under Port Side Passengers Seat?

    Has anyone installed a permanent tank under the passengers seat (port side)? After some measurements it looks like one of the Moeller 12 gallon permanent tanks will fit on my 16 Cruiser! I was just checking to see if anyone had already made the modification on their C Dory. I know it will fit...

    30hp etec on 16'

    But twin 25's on my 16 cruiser would look awesome. Would have to shuffle the weight to make up for the extra poundage, but it would look Killer COOL! :smiled Too bad the 16 isn't rated for 60 HP (Twin 30's) :smilep

    Honda 40 Cooling

    Honda is notorious for having a third water intake on the underside of the lower unit, not visible form the top. If this is the case, you must tape this water intake site when using earmuffs to flush your engine. Learned that one the hard way. Toasted an impeller in 10 minutes of idle running.

    1998 16' Cruiser Prop

    We should be able to reach max rpm without cavitation. I really think I am going to look into a 4 blade prop. Living here on the MS Gulf Coast a stainless steel wheel is a must. I hope I will be able to try some of the experienced (used) props at a local prop shop before I decide on a final...

    New 7" notebook under $40???

    I run Fugawi on a Dell Mini 10. I think this is an excellent portable Marine set-up.

    Weems & Plath Road/Light Rule

    Rules of the Road and Lights and Navigation can be confusing stuff. If you don't use it daily you will lose it. I memorized everything for my USCG 100 Ton License but I assure you I refer to Chapman and my Sea School books often! You can't have enough resources, but with limited space you have...
