Love the chart- Couple of notes- Evinrude 130 should be either the E130DPL (blue 20") or E130DSL (white 20"). This model is even lighter than the 25" model. The DPL / DSL designation holds true for all E-Tec models in this application. If you want white choose DSL. For Yamaha models, they...

Our shop runs a cocktail of ethonal free fuel, stabilizer, 2 stroke oil and fogging oil through the fuel system when winterizing fuel injected engines. We pour this into the new fuel filter, and install it. We then run the engine to be usre this mix get through the fuel system in the engine...

All C-Dory 22's after 1987 have the exact same configuration from the helm bulkhead forward. The V-Berth is the same size. The 22 Angler has a shorter pilothouse area, and the optional aft bulkhead and dinette option was available to enclose the helm area. That dinette is much shorter than the...

I think that 99% of these seats are installed in boats where having a flat folder seatback isn't an advantage. There are still models that do fold flat, but they have gotten fewer. I like fold flat models on open boats as it allows the captain to sit higher at times by sitting on the folded...

I always compare the "High Thrust" engines to the granny gear on a truck- used to get a heavy load moving at slow speeds. In the case of the Yamaha F60 and T60 High Thrus, the difference in the lower unit gearing, allowing the High Thrust to turn a larger diamter prop. If put on a boat instead...

My point was that some online sites have questionable cross references, and that just because a filter fits doesn't mean it's the right one. That was the case with our Suzuki customer. They saved a few bucks buying from an online oil filter dealer (who private labels their filters) and then had...

BTW- In the autopilot set up it should be possible to set stop points for the motors before the engines hit their stops.

ACtually, there is a reason it won't work. Autopilot pumps are sized to the ram they are working, and too small a pump won't be able to move enough fluid to turn the motor. Too large a pump will move too much fluid and cause very fast (and dangerous) turns, and eventual; oscillation of the...

Be very careful with aftermarket filters. We have a customer that bought a generic filter online for their Suzuki and while it fit, it wasn't the right filter. $10,000 later they were back on the water.

It looks like the tank went in after the deck, hence the need for the notched cuts of the deck at the step (I had wondered before why they were there). I don't think they would put the deck on the hull, and within 24 hours pull it apart and then back together based on your construction photos...

Lund uses a version of that seat on their upper end models (and as an optional upgrade on others). Very comfortable and stylish.

Swivel is easy. Look in the seats section of any marine retailers' catalog or web site and you'll find swivel bases. Rases the seat about 3/4". As far as foling- the newer seats don't seem to fold flat like they did years ago. I think seatsd are plusher and thicker, so a full fold down to flat...

We've installed one of these units recently, but didn't get a chance to play with it. The SS tranducer is big and sticks out behind the boat quite a ways and placment on some boats can be tricky. I'd like to see images in salt water at 100 feet or more to see whether this is a worthwhile upgrade.

Which Furuno unit do you have, and which transducer are you running. Furuno makes what most consider to be the best units available, but performamce can be hampered by the transducer or improper set up of the unit. The new Furuno's with their digital technology are supposed to be very...

Matt might "billed" it. :lol: And there are many well built trailer lines across the country- EZ Loader is probably the best known nationally. Venture has a decent reputation as well and are east of the rockies market-wise. Talk with your local dealer, and compare specs. Your local dealer...

Single axle- 3700 pound capacity (not to be confused with the trailer's gross weight rating). Some manufacturers identify their models by the gross, but most use the capacity, as that's what the trailer can carry. Tandem Axle- 4000 pound capacity. Many manufactures use the same frame for the...

If the bilge pump is sitting aft in a depressed area, there is no core there. Nothing to undercut and epoxy.

It looks like it may be only the interior gelcoat cracking and elaminiating from the fiberglass underneath. I have the same issue in a boat I own and it is a cosmetic issue, not structural. I think what you feel under it is fiberglass. If the fiberglass itself were cracked, I would expect a...

The C-Dory 29's were built by C-Dory, so they are part of the "family". I don't think it's any further removed from the "classic" C-Dory than the 24 Tomcat was, or the 255 Tomcat for that matter. I know if I owned one, I would not feel welcome on this site, which is too bad. We don't see used...

The factory is no longer doing service work, or selling boats direct. You may get the fastest response by going through the dealer network, as that is the direction the factory seems to be going.
