After putting your boat on the trailer and getting home, your four stroke is still running!! :shock: The mechanic that does my motor repair says this is happening more often than he would like to see. Is this for real? :embarrased Bill

Thanks Joe... I sure will miss those bass people. Things just got better!!! Bill :D

SeaWolf... Thanks for the reservation of Friday & Saturday. Will that cover me until I pull out Sunday morning? I'm not familiar with berthing hours, only motels & hotels. :oops: Bill

I think I could answer some questions bugging CD owners interested in the above combination for a braking system on their trailer. It is expensive and there are pit falls (or sand traps). I have learned a lot in the process of looking for a better brake system for trailers and I would be...

Thanks Sea Wolf... You have the experience at Shasta. I've fished in several tournaments at Clear Lake & the Delta. I think the October tournament at Shasta is usually the Tournament of Champions. When you mentioned ESPN, I got the feeling this may involve a Bassmaster Tournament which...

Sea Wolf... If ESPN is involved, it could be a major bass tournament. There will be heavy boat and car traffic together with packed launch facilities. So here is my 02 cents - it's still early enough to change the date :roll: A few years ago I was in the Delta with my boat during a major...

Sorry Bearh... I may have been the kiss-of-death to your thread. :oops: Bill PS - I didn't call C-Dory. I was just there and they are swamped. The technical people are all very busy. :(

Sea Wolf... Your post is very informative!!! Well done. This is an important subject and I look forward to getting as much information as possible. You're very correct in the liability issue. It's unfortunate that there are layman who make a very good living from the judicial system (I hope...

Something else to consider - with a new set of bearings & seals, it's possible to have voids of air within the hub which will expand when warmed and increase the pressure in the hub pushing out some grease. Bill

When I start thinking about the static electricity potential in those plastic tanks with all that gasoline slushing around, I get concerned. :shock: I look at rubber hoses as insulators. A big question for me is, "Is the ground on the fuel gauge sender adequate to deal with any static...

I wasn't streaking - just doing the speed limit! I drive a white over gray F-250, long bed with a white shell. My 22ft cruiser was without any motors as I was headed home after having work done at the factory. If you got close enough, you would have seen "BOAT" on the license plate. I topped...

Something else to consider might be that automotive seals were put in instead of the correct seal which will take more of the pressure. I had that happen to me and it was a royal mess! Bill

I just got home from the factory with my boat. Needed some repairs! I sure appreciate the willingness of the factory in doing those repairs. Don't get that kind of service very often these days!! :wink

Bearh... Do you have details regarding the grounding of those tanks. I ask as I'm not qualified in that area and would like a professional opinion. I have previously taken my tanks out and will be putting them back soon. Bill

Wheeler... I confirmed that theory with my first wife. She out fished me until she started baiting my hook. When she had her fill of that, we got a divorce. I haven't taken a wife fishing with me since. That's too bad because she did a good job of baiting the hook and cleaning fish and...

Wheeler... I wanted to spare ole David from total alienation! You're right about women and fishing. The problem goes back to the old hunter & gatherer days. It is the man's scent in the natural oils on his hands. It is referred to as l'sarine (sp?). Salmon are very sensitive to the scent...

David... Welcome to the art of fishing! This sport can be very technical and expensive $$$$$. You will never recover your investment in the form of fresh fish fillets. :shock: There are more variables in the sport of fishing than there are in golf. :? Most beginners progress from...

Fred... Are you referring to the storage area on both corners of the transom as lazarettes? I'll have to look at Da Nag to see what you're referring too. I still like the rail across the stern. I believe they have a Scotty mount thats attaches to the rail. I left an e-mail for Les to see...

Thanks for replying Fred & Ken... Fred, have you attached rod holders to that rail and if so, what's your opinion on this type of setup? On the other hand what was your purpose for installing the rail in the first place? Ken, what do you use your "B~C Woodbutchery" unit for and is it...

I cannot find a good location for a rod holder positioned behind the downrigger for trolling. I saw that some of your boats have a rail across infront of the motor. I would think that might be ideal. I prefer to have the downrigger mount as far aft on each side as possible. Furthermore, I...
