We would be interested as long as it doesn't interfere with our trip to Alaska. We are firming up our plans for that trip now, so should know when we'll be up North soon.

You are experiencing bow steering if the boat is trying to pull you one way or the other. This is a dangerous situation as the boat could broach if the bow steering is severe enough and could definitely throw you around. Try trimming the bow up higher in a following sea and this will tame down...

I've seen these teflon and nylon slides that say they make a boat easier to launch and are easier on the boat. I've been using liquid rollers on my bunks for years (it makes the boat slide off very easily!), but it doesn't protect the gel coat from scratching. Does anyone have any actual...

Azul, the reason you will continue to see guys burying their bow is quite simple. Driving into a big sea, we trim the bow down to allow us to run a little faster and help eliminate the pounding you would get trying to run at the same speeds with the bow higher. This forces the bow to dive in a...

Unfortunately not, the boat is still down in Nunica getting a new trailer made. It's built ,but waiting for other trailers to be finished so that a 'batch' can be sent off to get galvanized. Sounds like I might be waiting till sometime in late October. :( The new trailer should fit inside the...

That's what I hear the most too. Most people around here seem to have never seen a real boat before. I've even had people hang in my blind spot for 5 minutes going down the highway only to pull up along side and yell, yep , you guessed it! It is rather amazing though, how many people want to...

WE DID A SHORT TRIP WITH OUR KIDS ON PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND THIS SUMMER BUT DIDN'T MAKE IT AS FAR AS COLUMBIA GLACIER. WILL DEFINATELY HAVE TO GET THAT ON MY LIST OF PLACES TO VISIT. Thanks for the great photos!

There is a product called Liquid Rollers that is available through most marina supply stores. You simply spay it on your bunks once they dry after launch, let it dry then put the boat back on the trailer. There's a warning on the can not to remove the safety chain before getting the boat backed...

Another nay for nyloks, they must also be replaced after each use, otherwise they quickly lose whatever holding advantage they might have. Also products like corrosion-x and ACF-50 are great on electrical connections to prevent corrosion.

406 MHz EPIRBs rock. The coast guard will contact you within minutes if yours activates (if they can). Accuracy of homing signal (121MHZ) is not great but the 406 signal has your position embedded when linked to a gps receiver or an internal GPS. Negative response starts the rescue process...

I work as an Aircraft electrician/Avionics mechanic and would just say, never use a larger fuse than is already installed. The circuits are usually fused to protect the wiring. NOT the motor. You could overheat your wire and melt the insulation, possibly starting a fire. As for trouble...

I've been watching this thread develop with great interest for a couple days now. Lots of great points have been made. I operate my 16 Angler primarily (for now) on the Bay of Green Bay and Lake Michigan. The whole point of the C-Dory for me, (aside from the great classic salty styling ) is the...

The Ez-Loader that came with the boat.

mounts for rocket launcher

Du-Bro rod holders mounted on 24" by 3/4" Rail.

Rod holders rotate 360 degrees and ride on a nylon bushing so rods can be angled as appropriate for angling method being used.
