    SO WHAT DID YOU DO WITH OR ON YOUR C-DORY TODAY??

    Complete rewire of the boat. Added protected (isolated) circuit for all important electronics. I now have a 50 Amp and 30 Amp dedicated circuit for my computer and navigation equipment and separated everything out in the cockpit. Added a dedicated ground bus as well. I can't believe everything...

    BATTERY SWITCH

    Thanks for the reply. I suspected the velcro was a bit weak for my application. I appreciate the data on the 5200 and wood solution and plan to do something similar. I wish I had done this last year when I priced it out. Wire has sure gone up since last year...

    BATTERY SWITCH

    Adeline, How has your mounting board with the velcro held up? I am in the middle of rewiring my boat and am thinking about doing something similar. I don't want my bus bar falling off and rolling around though and I fish open water a lot. What would you do dofferent? I like the way yours is laid...

    Halcyon News

    I hope you are able to get some rest with all the float plane traffic. They start very early in the morning but they stop fairly early in the evening. Thanks for the updates. I hope you are planning to stop by this neck of the woods when you come south. Maybe we could do some fishing?

    Boarding Planks, Ladders, and Other Ideas

    Now that there is funny, I don't care who you are... And I am looking forward to the pics. I did check your album before asking. I like the boarding ladder idea but think as much as I am in open water it would wear and make a lot of noise... Maybe it could be put on with with release pins? I...

    Avoid Dodge

    Mike, you don't need no horn, mirrors or even reverse... That Dodge has all kinds of ponies except one to saddle for the grandkids... Just get a run at the shop and convert it to a pull through and your problems are... well... you get the idea... On the other hand that is pretty cool to have a...

    Rough water fuel economy? kicker or main

    Ruff water is no place to be fuel concious for the sake of keeping cost down. When my main motor died 8 miles outside Depoe Bay on the Northern Oregon coast I would have given anything to have it back rather than put along on the kicker. I was only able to make 3mph in the building conditions...

    bilge plug between cabin and cockpit

    My 95 Angler has one. I thought it was stock? I usually don't have issue with water in the cabin unless it is rain water when it sits on the trailer.

    Piranha Composite Propellers

    This ain't cat food buddy.... no sir. In fact I ran out of Tuna this year and thank goodness for friends cause one of them gave me a case of shorts. The Albacore we catch in the Pac NW is the best in the ocean. If we should ever cross paths you will have to taste some for yourself. Those who...
