The tender--10 ft. "Skin Over Frame" Whitehall.

Ken at the helm.

Backcountry at Wolf Bay, Yellowstone Lake.

Has anyone been using Navtex/weatherfax? My specific interest is in regard to SE Alaska. My experience in SE Alaska is that VHF weather is very spotty due to the topography (and Internet is even more scarce, as is cell coverage). I've seen Navtex recommended in some older forums, but I've also...

Back at the boat...Solenoid works fine, primer bulb needed a couple of pumps to get solid. Now that I realize that the choke control at the helm is only yes/no and I can't play it like a manual choke, I have starting figured out. Thanks for all the help and "case closed."

It definitely has 4 carbs. I was given the wrong info on the year then... Thanks for the info.

Lots of good information here. Thanks a bunch! I will be back at the boat next week. I will experiment and report.

Thanks for the thoughts. In regard to Harvey's questions: 1) Tanks were clean and empty. Fuel is less than 2 weeks old. 2) I will check the bulb next week. 3) Shifter is definitely in neutral. Prop does not spin when starting. 4) Absolutely just clear gas in water separator bowl. For Bob's...

I'm not at the boat right now but will check he fuel bulb next weekend. I do not have the type of remote control that allows disengaging the gear to just work the throttle. I did notice in the manual that the remote choke activates an electronic solenoid. I wonder if that is working. I'll...

The engine is a 2007. I'm pretty sure it is a choke and not just an idle lever. The manual says it is also a choke, plus there is also a push/pull choke on the engine itself (it has the choke symbol on it).

I can't seem to figure out the right combination of choke and throttle when starting this engine when cold. It does start, but it often takes 5-10 seconds of cranking. Fresh non-alky gas, new plugs, wires, coils, etc. Once started it idles perfectly after a minute or so and runs great. It...

As far as why surge brakes instead of full EOH, the answer is basically cost and need. We keep the boat fairly light, and with a van for a tow vehicle, which has pretty good weight distribution, we can hardly tell that the trailer is there at all.

Thanks Steve, that helps a lot. Eastern Marine was pretty sure their UFP brakes would fit, I think they were just being careful. I'll bet it is a Dexter axle. Anyway, think I'll go ahead and order. Thanks for your help and the speedy reply.

I have an older EZ Loader single axle (5200 lb. axle, based on the number stamped on the bearings) trailer that did not come with brakes. I've read all the posts in regard to brakes and I've settled on a UFP hydraulic disk system with a surge acutator. The trailer has an assigned serial number...

While searching and comparing, I found that Defender is selling a bunch of Lowrance Hook and Hook Reveal models cheap. They do not network and are not touchscreen, but I bought a 7" Hook Reveal with transponder and Navionics Nav+ charts for $360. There's a $100 rebate, so $260 for the unit...

Thanks for the info folks. Two new senders are $120 and 2 new tanks are $500, so $380 more. I think I'll go for the tanks and cross them off the worry list. Patrick: Thanks for the offer on the tank. I'll decline, but contact me if you have time to visit when in Billings. Our C-Dory will...

I was reminded today to be skeptical of 30-year-old parts on my C-22 when my wife reported that we had no steering. Luckily we were only at hull speed and I was able to rig a tiller. The fuel tanks also appear to be original also-brown plastic 20 gallon tanks. Does anyone have experience with...

Thanks for all the info. I think I know enough now to decide.

Bob - Thanks again for the detail. I am considering the Axiom 7. Do you use AIS? From what I can see in the Raymarine manual, AIS looks a bit like an afterthought. I would like all AIS vessels to overlay on the chart, not just the "dangerous" ones.
