    Front Center Window Latch Question

    Sense I've retired the tinkerer in me has re-awakened. I so want to fix it and the new bonding process is intriguing. They say it takes a month for the bond to reach full strength. You guys are right of course and Bob's link is the correct assembly. The sealant between the frame and glass had...

    Oh! Most excellent! When you get the time can you share more details about ... well... everything? Where you got parts, the process, how is fishing down there? Mmmm, prawns.

    Front Center Window Latch Question

    I should have specified the broken piece is the base of the latch that is bonded to the center window. I found an interesting product that may help. https://tbbonding.com/glue-nylon/ If not successful there is another project waiting that could use an advanced bonding agent.

    Front Center Window Latch Question

    I need to make a repair to the front center window latch (dog?) on our 2005 22' C-Dory. I think it could be accomplished with the right adhesive. There are some good new glues on the market but it's best to know what you are gluing. Does anyone here know what the latches from that era were...

    Fuse size & wire gauge

    OK, I found the article you mentioned. It is worth a read for all boat owners. Luckily for me the NO-OX-ID does not have metallic dust which can be a problem. http://www.bwi.org/bwicontest/files/297 ... artest.pdf

    Fuse size & wire gauge

    Rather than di-electric grease I have started using NO-OX-ID which is supposed to improve conductivity and resist corrosion. Is it that much better? I don't know yet but it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. https://www.sanchem.com/electrical-cont ... icant.html

    towing with the 3.5l v6

    The naturally aspirated 3.5 will be OK for your short hauls, assuming of course, the rig is rated for the trailer weight. That motor will likely turn some higher RPMs but that's OK too. Could you arrange a test drive towing your boat?

    Y'all Make The Coleman Lantern Folks Seem Exciting

    When we had our house built recently the contractor and plumbers refused to install anything from Lowes or HD. Our new sinks are Kohler. Buy your stuff at a plumbing supply store. We just bought a bathroom sink for the old house at a plumbing supply store and it was less money and nicer than HD...

    The shot shells are for squirrels and snakes.They are not reliable against anything bigger. If she needs the gun in extremis premium hollow point or something like low recoil ARX ammunition is required. Get her to a class with competent instruction, it may save her life one day. If I am being...

    Twin 70hp yamahas on a 22ft cruiser

    The boat was designed for one lightweight two stroke 70 hp engine available at the time. This boat will be an ill handling pig IMO. Keep looking.

    Will my truck pull it?

    My 22 has a single axle but I can tell you I am pleased with the disc surge brake system it now has. Never going back to the troublesome drum brakes, ever.

    Moving to a smaller outboard?

    My 22 planes at ~10 knots which is typical I think. It does have Doel fins on the AV plates. Asking to plane at an even lower speed is not realistic IMO. Underpowering a boat is an expensive, disappointing mistake. The engine will struggle and have to turn high RPMs at whatever speed you can...

    Importance of 4x4 or AWD or Locking Diff at boat launch?

    One trick worth putting in your quiver is to pull up the ramp at a 45° or so angle to straight ahead.

    Obviously. We were discussing pickups.
