Captain Matt, I just had the work done a few weeks ago immediately after the new owners assumed control. C-Dory directly reimbursed the repair facility after the work was completed to my satisfaction and upon my authorization. Maybe, there has been a change in policy. Best regards...

I would like to take this opportunity to thank C-Dory and Frank Walters for the understanding and prompt manner in which they handled a warranty issue on my 2004 boat. Frank followed up with me throughout the repair process and payment was made to the repair facility without delay. It could...

Hi Nick, I didn't fair any better than you. My buddy had one walleye up to the boat but lost it when his leader broke. To add insult to injury, when we were pulling the boat out a guy comes up and asks how we did. I told him the truth; zero. He said his boat limited out and could not believe we...

Hi Nick, If you have not already thought of it, it is best to use waterproof butt connectors for the splice. Most hardware stores carry them for use in underground sprinkler or light systems. If not, where you are located any marina should have ample supplies. A heat gun works best to shrink...

Hi Frank, I am planning a trip to Rossport, Ontario, the end of July, and have found Superior Way by Bonnie Dahl and Lakeland's Boating, Cruising Guide to Lake Superior, invaluable planning aids. Al/Moose has spent a great deal of time in this area and recommended Superior Way . This...

Greetings Bruce, You bet you will. Lake St. Clair is always in my plans. Only during weekdays though. Weekends are to crazy for an old timer like me. I am still planning on being up in Harrisville for a few days to take Richard out for a spin. Don't know when though. Glad to see that you are...

Hi All, I am pleased to report that the method of contacting the factory as Nick/Valkyrie suggested (email all principals) worked. Frank Walters returned my email this afternoon and also followed it up with a phone call. Sending emails through the warranty department address, as provided in...

Dear All, I never thought I would be in this situation, but I need to discuss with a factory representative a warranty issue. Neither the dealer or I have been successful in getting anyone to return our calls or emails. I have called Scott Reynolds and Walter and sent emails. Any suggestions...

If these are becoming so difficult to get from the factory, I would also be interested some to just to have on hand. It seems that I have to replace mine ocassionally because of the gas overflow taking the logo off. Thanks, Rollie

What a super idea. I think I will add this to my 'to do' list. Best regards,

Hi Dave, My hats arrived in the mail today and they are awesome. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and for taking the time to make these hats available to all of the C-Brat following. Best regards, Rollie/C-Batical

I received this article today and I think it is interesting reading and presents some very good points. I posted it to share with it with all of my C-Brat colleagues; particularly those of us over 60. http://www.sailnet.com/forums/cruising- ... orthy.html Best regards,

Hi Nick, Just so you won't feel so bad, here is a photo that I took right behind my house when I was cross country skiing; probably on the day you were enjoying 70 F weather. This is what my favorite swimming/fishing hole looks like in the winter. Best regards,

Good Morning Nick, Your weather news ought to make Al/Moose feel fortunate he doesn't live in Ohio. For most of the year we have shared the same weather patterns but this one missed us entirely which is just fine for me. There must have been a reason this Buckeye front did not want to cross...

Hi Charlie, I tend to agree with Marvin. I have about 200 hours on my 2004 Honda, 40 hp engines. They are carbureted and notoriously hard to start when cold. These engines are not equipped with a choke, as such, but with a fuel enrichment valve that is Honda's answer to EFI. When these...

Hi Tom, I envy you being on the "upward slope" of boating and that is to desire to get a bigger or faster craft. However along with this these boats tend to more complicated, require higher maintenance, and are more expensive to purchase and own. It is fun to dream and to desire something...

Hi Steve, I installed my ports last year and used them all season in both gentle rains and downpours. When it is really raining or the wind is into the open port, they will allow some rain to enter just like an open window at home. However, in a gentle rain coming straight down the water runs...

Patty, Pat, and Austin, My thoughts and prayers are with each of you for strength and healing during this difficult but temporary period in your lives. May God grant Patty a speedy and complete recovery. It has now been sixteen years, almost to the exact, day that my wife was diagnosed and...

Hi Peter, My tow vehicle is a 2005, Tacoma, 4X4, 4 -door, 6 foot bed. I estimate that I tow my boat about 3,000 miles per year. My boat is fully loaded and around Michigan I could not ask for a better combination. The mileage is similar to what Dave reported for his Frontier. I get 19-21 mpg...
