I intentionally put our kicker on the starboard side so I could have the swim step access completely free of cables. I put the kicker on a Mini Jacker which offset it enough that it didn't interfere with the cables. Also, if your kicker's tiller is on the right side when you look at it from the...

Do you know if it is PVC or Hypalon?

We saw a black(?) 19 or 22 angler with wood hand rails moored on the NW side of Eliza yesterday. Glad we went for our first Lummi Island launch yesterday afternoon instead of trying for today!

Can this through work with a drain plug, i.e. could this approach work for the bilge drain?

Ok Roger, what am I missing?

One of the pictures shows an asset tag that says: DO NOT REMOVE * PROPERTY OF Fort Richardson MWR NAF ASSET

I looked at the bottom pic earlier and it looked like scratches from beaching or something, but I wasn't sure since I've never seen the underside of one without bottom paint. I liked that it wasn't bottom painted since it would be easier to see damage that could otherwise be hidden. I just...

Wow, that's interesting. If I didn't already have a boat I'd seriously consider bidding on it. It looks like it's almost completely gutted (no motor, no steering, minimal electrical) but it's only 7 years old. Given that 2006's with a motor and some electronics go for around $35k with a...

I do know is who Buck Fowler is. He worked at C-Dory in the mid 2000s. I met him when I took my boat to Tern Marine Salvage to get disused fiberglass holes repaired. Based on the impression I had meeting him, I'd think it would be a win if he or his company became owners. One other thing, the...

When I went to the factory ~6 months ago, there were 4 C-Dory in various stages of completion. They said they were the most popular boat they build (of C-Dorys or otherwise). The owners have changed, and I met some of them at the SBS. SeaSport was better represented there, but that may have been...

One other thing -- after rereading that, 3/4" seems like a big hole if it's going through a thin area like the brow. Might need to do some glassing from underneath to support a patch otherwise it seems like the epoxy might just pop out or crack.

I can't remember where this info came from, but I have it in my C-Dory Google docs: Forest Green: Cook Composites # 953-GJ-081 Different sources say different things about gelcoat and epoxy. According to the Gougeon Bros (West System), gelcoat can adhere to epoxy if you remove the "amine...

The Johnson one is 2 separate sensors. When both sensors detect water, it turns on, and it runs until the lower one no longer detects water. It sounds like the sensor with the metal contacts works like espresso machines and humidifiers that detect water levels with metal sensors. I think the...

Just to be clear, my Johnson pump does not have metal surfaces that detect water via contact or electrical resistance or whatever. The Johnson pump has a continuous plastic case with two rings marked on the side that are the high and low water sensor location. It's a 'field sensor' which detects...

I don't have a forward bilge on my 2006. There's no slot in the bulkhead, which means depending on loading I may get water pooling in the cockpit against the bulkhead (not much) and that doesn't usually happen unless we're sleeping in the berth.

I don't see any problem with the Ultima for a CD 22, especially in the bilge. From my experience, they are equivalent or better than the float switch Rule pump that was in there before. Now I have both, with one mounted higher than the other so that the second is basically a backup. I think if...

I've got a question for anyone with a 22 cruiser with the sliding passenger seat. When I've tried to convert the dinette into a sleeper (or bench), I take the table top off, fold up the awkward leg, and set the table top between the seat boxes. There's a short (~1') metal post that goes into a...

The combiner stays on several minutes after the engine is turned off from what I've seen. This means if I were to stop and look at something (and listen) and shut the motor down, then started up again, they'd be connected. Also, I'm not really sure if this is an issue, but it seems like during...

My 2006 definitely has green foam in the transom.

I was aware of the hybrid drive for trains and subs. It's fun to see the diesels come up in the locomotives when they really start pulling. I was just curious if it had been attempted on a small scale, like our boats, and if it could be feasible for low speed cruising. Imagine in a few years...
