Give John a BIG Texas WELCOME - hope he enjoys his stay, and makes it the first of many.

I have this bracket http://www.foreandaftmarine.com/3-71091.htm on the stbd stern of the Fan-C-Dory. Never put anything larger the the Honda 8hp on it, but no doubt it will handle a 25. My difficulty is that I trailer and need to take the motor off when the bottom dries off. You can't leave the...

Thanks for the nfo y'all !

How much paint does it require to re-coat a 25'. Fan-C-Dory has ablative paint, not quiet ready for a re-coat - but after this summer it will be needed. Do you just re-coat over clean existing - this stuff is awful soft, seems like it would clog sand paper QUICKLY.

We ALWAYS get outta Texas for the summer - Newfoundland/Labrador is Nice, The N.Y. Canals were OK, NW is nice, thru BC & the Yukon to Alaska. This summer we'll do Voyageur NP, Rainy Lake and Lake of the Woods.

Talking to myself here. A response I just received from the NPS Ranger up there. -------- "I just talked to the owner and they told me that they could handle a 25ft boat. The mechanical portage is a truck and a big flat bed trailer. I have used it several times to haul my 23ft, twin screw...

Does anyone have any info on the "portage" at Kettle Falls ? Can they handle a 25' ?

Thanks y'all. The old Drascombe Lugger has been sitting for ~ 10yrs in my shop, today a guy is coming to thump the hull - she needs wind in her sails !

"Chassis ground" ?? Come on Dr. Bob - that was back in the olden days when cars were made out of metal ! :D

My 06 has a Blue Sea fuse panel on the back of the control panel just below the steering. I don't know if it is a C-Dory installation, or not. Mine has an empty fuse location on it - no wire connected to the screw terminal. Connect you "hot" (red) wire here. If you have the same, the top section...

We had a Honda 8 on Fan-C-Dory last summer, no trim problem with the motor. But remember, when running you will be sitting back there - WAY back there, unless you put an extension on the tiller. Then the trim IS affected - I couldn't discern any handling problem though - and the * pushed the 25...

I believe that man get a cigar !

Not Warren - but we're still planning. I'm wondering about LOW up in the Kenora area. We were up there about 10 years ago. The whole area up there looks like a good place to get lost and stay that way all summer. Our only problem is that we HAVE to get out of this area before it gets to hot...

Nice photos you've posted Nick.

Jim - JIM !! Once upon a time Prozac was good - but that Loratab sounds nice, OR maybe a Glen something or other ??

I've used air, both pressure and vacuum, to move a messenger thru an area. I'll probably try a leaf blower to blow a string ( with a bit of paper ) thru there, then I'll be in business. Of course the $200 will buy a half a tank of fuel, my fuel gage will give me a pretty good estimation of...

Ya - SHE doesn't know left from right (or come here from "sic'em" for that matter), when she gives me a left (or right) I have to ask "your left, or mine". We usually don't talk much for a while after that ! :roll:

Dr Bob, Are you saying that there is an open communication from the bilge, below the aft deck, and the cabin in the 25?

Lortabs, now that's an IDEA, maybe I'll just go get a root canal so I can get some. Also trying to interface my 4210 & 498 via the 183 - no luck yet ! Do you realize how many wrong connections you can make with this many wires !?!? :shock:

If I put this in Electronics, it will be wrong, if I put it here it will be wrong. Like I've said before give me a 50:50 chance and 90:10 I'll get it WRONG ! Anyway - the specs for the Garmin GFS10 state the MINIMUM flow rate of 2 GPH, I use ~ 1/2 of that. Does anyone have one of these...
