Launcher partially loaded

My 2005 Jenny B had that problem. It was a defect in the tank. I used to have closeup pictures but they (C-Dory) did have a problem where the bronze hose connection screwed into the tank. Some neanderthal screwed mine in and there was a crack in the fitting itself causing a small stain on the...

Well, Charlie, you're about as remote as you can get from Fairbanks. Ask him. :wink: Don

Congratulations and welcome to the club. I should point out that C-Brats are a product of intelligent design. :lol: Your intelligence and Toland's design. That boat will never leave your heart. The first C-Dory becomes permanently berthed there and any others just raft up to it. I don't...

Hmmm. You paid the same for Suzuki synthetic as Amazon sells Mobile 1 synthetic. $8/quart. Not much higher for the Suzuki filter than I paid for a high quality Duramax diesel filter though it is considerably bigger in size. Pretty much in line with miniature quality filters like those in...

Thanks Roger et al. I think Keith has about a 14" draft with all the extra "stuff" he carries. I'm surprised his wife still travels with him. She must be tiny.... Seriously, it's gonna feel good to be back on the water again, and I learned my little 4 banger Tacoma hauled it without protest -...

Casey, my new used C-16 has rocket launchers that are partially removable. Hard to describe them but when the tubes are pulled out of their sockets, you can easily lay an inflatable on top. It was a very creative mod, both inexpensive and sturdy. Soon as I get some time I'll take some closeup...

First caught my eye

Closer inspection

I just today towed the Honky Dory from the Sacramento area to San Diego with the same Harbor Freight temp gauge and three free Harbor Freight flashlights. (ain't they great?). The trailer I towed with was 17 years old and I worried that the bearings hadn't been packed this millenium! Hubs ran...

Spent two days in Da Nag country checking out 16 cruisers and anglers. Came up with a little gem. Would you believe a 17 year old CD16 Angler with 116 original hours on the 50 hp outboard? Stored in a barn? Recent impeller and full service? Full camper canvas back? Original Pacific...

Looks like Amazon carries a huge choice. Gotta love Amazon.... It's become the first place I look for darn near anything! Don

I figured you would, being an ex Marine and all that.... :) Seriously, cracking the wallet is a lot easier than covering black gel coat. Don The best Marine is a Submarine

Good lord, Sam, you must not have had your glasses on. Click here and you'll find quite a few places that sell it. Even West Marine! Again, when I bought my LMF-200 with sensor it included the stuff in your Ebay link and it was $149 in 2006. I have no idea what is included in the current...

Sam, you must set up a working NMEA bus, which includes proper terminal resistors at the ends of the bus plus the 12 volts before the C-80 will recognize any data from the sensor. You can do it without the LMF-200 gauge, but I can almost guarantee you won't be satisfied with the result...

Warren, Charlie's right. I had one of the first F75 EFI Yamahas. Even delayed my dealer installation 'till he could get one. Great engine! With that said, Les at EQ was very right. The Lowrance sensor - like most any turbine based sensor - is pretty darn innacurate at low flow rates. You...

Sam, I developed that kludge back in 2006 when Lowrance first came out with the LMF-200 gauge with sensor and I wanted to use it as a cheap alternative to the Navman fuel sensor. Lowrance didn't offer a GPS puck for the NMEA2000 bus at the time! You indicate that you have the sensor, yes. Do...

ROTFL. Congratulations. I had Gizmo on my radar screen for a Sunday followup call. I see I got hit with "You snooze, you lose." Enjoy. Don

I would agree in general that people buy small to be cheap. Of course I don't think you're referring to C-Dory owners and prospective buyers though, because they are way more likely to do what you did, Keith; Buy to fill a specific need plus buy into the C-Dory style and ride. I can go on...

Half over? Is it December already? Oh, its not like that in the PNW. I forgot. Never mind. Don In beautiful San Diego where summer never ends.
