    Who's C-Dory?

    In Praise of Gary Estes Mobile Trailer Repair

    Great to see you got back to disc brakes, Pat. Happy to hear that a pro did the job rather than me , the shadetree mechanic doing it . Money well spent and , by the way the part numbers look right to me. Jim

    Power Mover

    Warren, I think it depends on the whether the gravel is soft or hard packed and finessing the unit . I had to learn that "rocking" the load before trying to push or pull it helped keep it from burying itself,which I did a lot while on the learning curve . It has knobby tires so it really...

    Power Mover

    Interesting that this thread came up. I just listed our TrailerTug on Craigslist this week. It is a gas powered Tug. 6.5 hp ,hydrostatic transmission, moves 10,000 lbs. pushes our 25 around nicely. We just don't need it anymore since we rearranged our parking. I am putting picture of it in our...

    Article on Repacking Bearings

    Pat, That looks like a great guide. The only thing different that I do as you may remember, is that when I put the castle nut on I spin the hub as I tighten the nut until the hub drags, then back off it only till it doesn't drag, then lock it there. Jim

    Tacoma Narrows Question

    Since we launch very close to the Narrows Bridge now Bridges at TOA(Tacoma Outboard Association), , I can tell you that we have rarely launched at a slack tide, and with the almost constant wind ,etc , it can be a a real challenge. We have been told that if you can launch at TOA you can launch...

    C-Dory Logo decals

    I know I tried to get a set of the raised decals ,but never got'em. So now I guess what do we do is find out where C-Dory got them and see if we can get them direct? I'm going to see if any of the decal makers have this type of decal in the meantime.

    Rare C-Dory

    It looks similar to the C-Dory that was for sale in Puyallup and discussed here . It was also a V-8 powered-Jet Drive. I believe that the bottomline was it was a dangerous combo and could be over-driven. Someone mentioned that it almost killed after air launching on to a jetty or roadway.

    Vessel Capacity Label

    I looked at our sticker and it is the same as the one we had on our 22' ...I know that has to be wrong for our 25' , but haven't worried about it too much...may be I should, but have more pressing priorities ...like paying for the boat,gas,trailer brakes ,insurance..... ad nauseum
