I have a 2007 25' and have decided that I would like to replace the cockpit bulkhead plastic molded inserts that are use for rod holders, deck brush etc. Does anyone know where I can order these from?

I would definitely go talk to another fabricator. The folks that make canvas enclosures are proficient at bending tubing tubing to various hull configurations. The bending dies are fairly standard so anyone with a background in tubing bending should be able to match what you have. If you...

Congratulations on you getting a 22. I guess my question would be how did the cabinets bottoms get rotted? It may not be a big deal but I believe I would check the deck for signs of rotting also. Hopefully it is isolated to the cabinets only. No matter there is plenty of resources within...

I'm not so sure this boat is at all in the same class as a CDory. A beautiful boat for sure. As far as trailerability, I'm going to give it a failing mark. After having owned an Atlas Acadia 25 with a full keel, I assure you that this boat will have to be on a pretty tall bunked trailer to...

Wallin, the 25' that was on the 20th I believe is in Santa Rosa, Ca. Looks like a good one from the description given. I also have a 25' 2007 vintage. Just a little advise on trying to land a 25. They tend to go fast when listed. Have cash ready, get the boat tied up for with survey or...

I have the same set up as C-Wolfe on my 25', it has the panographic wiper arms and allows for a complete wipe of the windows. I also like his fan set up and may come up with a modified version of that with a couple of small box fans. Good luck.

When I was shopping for my 25 I was on the computer constantly for months looking for the right fit for us. It is my opinion for what it's worth that any serious buyer is out there looking now and pretty much all the time. The boats are valued according to what they contain and I personally...

Red, it sounds as though your pumps are wired to run off of 1 float switch. On any boat I have ever owned over the years the bilge pumps were wired to run independently and have their own float switch. I would trace out all the wiring to the bilge pumps and see if they are wired to 1 float...

Have you checked your salt water washdown system? I would check from the through hull ball valve to the outlet and make sure that there isn't any disconnect along the way. Just a thought.

I like the idea of putting plastic bags over the lower units to keep the sea growth off while they sit in the water protected from possible freezing. That however doesn't help the rest of the hull in the water. I personally put mine on a trailer for the winter. I don't like leaving the boat...

Thanks for your input on checking my valve clearances. Youve raised some more questions regarding timing belt replacement. Looking at my repair manual i figured out that i don't have a timing belt but a timing chain is used on the 135 and 150 outboards. I think I'll just have the honda...

Good morning C-Brats, I have a question concerning the Honda BF150 motor maintenance. I am doing my annual winterization of basic oil change, rv antifreeze in the fresh water lines, changed lower unit lube, replaced water pump impeller (3 Years use). I also changed out the thermostats and...

Looking at the anode I would say it isn't horrible. Yes there is some expected corrosion of the anode which means it is doing it's job. The anode looks to me to be able to be replaced individually. I would research it further and see if you can just buy the anode alone without the heating...

Terry, I have a 2007 25' cruiser and it is plumbed for bypass of the hot water tank. You might post a picture of the piping, someone will be able to analyze it.

Danjenni I have owned a 2500 HD with the Duramax diesel and loved the truck till it started having issues that kept me in the garage too much with injector problems at 160,000 miles. I replace the 3 bad injectors and traded that truck in on a 2017 RAM 2500 HD with the Cummins Diesel. I love...

Coach07 I had a Silverado with a 5.3 that I hauled a 21' Pompano Diesel lobster boat from Ramrod Key Florida to Bremerton, Washington. It hauled the load pretty good till the headwinds hit and the climb up the Rockies. That having been said, the Pompano was considerably lighter. I also towed...

Lou, since you've already got the brakes done and i assume the bearings are ok if you've done the brakes. It isn't that expensive to put new bunks on compared to a new trailer. I would put on the new bunks and cover them with the plastic skids. They make loading/launching much easier. You'll...

Pelican, I just checked my Windy app and it predicts SW winds 5-6 knots between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm and the tide will be an outgoing to a low of -2.0'. There are other folks that do that crossing far more often than we do who may have something to add, but I would think that to be pretty good...

Yes C-Sprite, Gary gave good advice. I used Portland Marine to install my Garmin electronics. The reason to go to Oregon to purchase equipment is primarily to save from paying the tax (almost 10 % in most Washington state counties) That adds up quick when you're buying electronics. Good Luck!

So you were able to check in the CBP App alone without a NEXUS pass? I like that idea a lot. I know my wife and I were having a little difficulty using the app parked outside the customs office. An officer walking by helped us finish the entries in about 15 seconds and we were on our way. It...
