    Kitchenware

    I had found some Water Bricks on Amazon 3.5 Gal but not this 1.6 Gal smaller one thank you. I travel on a 16 and it's always great to find Back Packing type gear. One new thing I'm working on is, some of my gear has to do two things. Example: Towels go in bag from Target that is made for towels...

    Your cruising speed?

    I'm a 16 Cruiser and my speed is just a matter of "Set & Setting". Calm summer day low 90's.... 20mph 4700 rpm, if squall comes up, 10 mph keep the bow trimmed down the boat just slices thru the chop. Total white out due to rain fog etc Idles speed, read the instruments and bring all my senses...

    Leak in 16 cruiser

    I could not have been more simple. The Red & Green lens on the inside of the fixture is round, it was broken in half and the fixture kept it up right. However the rain water while under way would pour through the crack. I would not have installed the new one so well had it not been for all the...

    Interior Leak in 16 Cruiser

    I took the light off and the old silicon cleaned off well with a five in one tool and WD 40, then I cleaned off WD with paint thinner. Dont see how to get bulb out of fixture yet but I I'm guessing you must squeeze or pry the Red & Green lenses off right? New light is on way and I'm sure the...

    Interior Leak in 16 Cruiser

    Here's what I've done, I found the Port Starboard fixture at Perko and Lifeseal from some marine supplyer, I'll sand silicon off deck then take a pencil and outline the fixture and apply Lifeseal. I'll put a little Lifeseal on the screw threads. When its cured I'll hit it with the spray nozzle...

    Interior Leak in 16 Cruiser

    C Dory buddies thank you, all of the info that helps my mind function better on solving a problem. I have not taken the light housing off yet but I'm pretty sure if I hold it upside down it will not hold water. Any idea where I can get the same housing that came with the boat it's an 04 cruiser...

    Interior Leak in 16 Cruiser

    At the head of the V Berth is a hole where the wire for the Port Starboard light runs. This is the location of the leak. Twice I have removed the P/S housing on deck and applied silicon on the black washer the light housing sits on. The leak is 3 or 4 shots glasses worth not just drops. Well I...

    NMI REOPENING

    It's only logical that a durable sea worthy boat would be manufactured by a durable group of people, this kind of thing is no accident. Theres a lot of Dory owners sending you all the best, from the person laying the glass to the person writing the checks. Live Long and Prosper.

    02/27 - 03/01 - St. John's River Gathering

    l'll do fire again but I'm sure hoping it will be seasoned this time. I really won't bother if its not, if you remember I had to stay on it every minute, I'd rather watch Matlock reruns than sit in the smoke again. Looks like we're gonna have a lot of new guests this year doesn't it.

    What would you do?

    I'm towing my 16 in Fl with an 89 Chevy Celebrity wagon that has 215K. I picked my 16 up in Mississippi with this car as well. I don't go over 60 and take off slow and I'm careful with everything. I changed the transmission fluid when I came back from Mississippi. If moneys no object to Hell...
