    Battery on trailer

    Harvey, I think that is what George does on Kerri On. Charge the boat batteries that is. #2 is possible but why? Once the boat is off the trailer, there goes your emergency braking.

    We used to tow our dingy behind our sailboat.

    Barry had a simple and effevtive method for storing the 2hp Honda on his 22. See the C-Cakes album page 4 for more photos.

    Nancy wants to know if anyone every painted their interior.

    C-Dory and aesthetics in the same sentence just seems wrong somehow!

    08/12 - 08/14 - Powell River BC, Canadian CBGT

    We ran into that a few years back in the same location and conditions. Janet was checking the chart on the E-80 and noticed a small harbor. It was a condo development with a small marina behind a breakwater. We pulled in and tied up for a few hours at a guest dock. Never found anyone to pay or...

    Opinions on outfitting a 23" C-dory for the NorthWest

    After 15 years of cruising in the PNW, I would consider Radar and AIS essential. Auto Pilot would up toward the top of my list if I were outfitting a new boat.

    Inverter question

    Hi Mike, For the Toaster Oven, I'd suggest a Honda 2000 Generator! The toaster oven fried my 2000w Outback inverter. And that was with the engines running and a 270 amp hour battery bank! Never tried that again...

    Fixing a drilled hole with epoxy from a Transducer install

    I think I would use a large syringe to pump some thickened epoxy all the way through that hole. Depending on the diameter of the hole, that may be all that's needed.

    Fixing a drilled hole with epoxy from a Transducer install

    As you can see by the photo, the core is closed cell foam, not the dreaded balsa core. It should be fine after you seal the hole. Lots of choices for sealing but make it permanent and waterproof!

    Honda 150 Trim Gauge

    I had to replace that part on the Port engine. It's not too hard. Small hands are helpful.

    Ladder for bow?

    BobLiz, I planned on going to Lake Powell with our TomCat and had a bracket made from Stainless to mount the TomCat Swim ladder to the bow. A mechanical failure caused us to miss the trip and I still have the bracket. PM me for photos and maybe we can make a deal!

    ARE 200 hp Suzukis too much for the 255 Tomcat?

    As I recall, a few years back, the max HP for the TC255 was raised to 350. That's when we started to see the 175 Suzukis used. My slogan has always been, "You can never have too much HorsePower" !

    Voltmeter Gauge Reading
