    Sharrow prop

    Dennis, on your first Alaska trip, what was your normal cruise speed on your trip north and then while you were in Alaska. How long did you take to make that trip? Did you keep track of your total fuel consumption and engine hours starting at Friday Harbor/Anachortes? I'll really be curious...

    Congratulations on your boat. looks to be a very capable boat with a great engine that will service your for years to come. It appears you've got the game figured out for the fishing and crabbing. I sold my 18' Olympic boat to a gal that lives in Homer in the summer months and she fishes for...

    Thank you Coleen, I'll wade back into the LULU pool and see if I can get this done.

    C-Brats 2026 Calendar is NOW Available!

    I just tried to order the 2026 calendar and ran in to a couple problems. When I tried to enter the HOLIDAY20 discount code I got the NOT VALID message. So I decided to check the FB cdory group to see if there was another discount code, nothing found. BUT what I did find was a post by me that...

    Does anyone use a kicker motor on the starboard side?

    Well, some folks like the kicker on the port side to balance out the load if they are by themselves so the boat isn't always listing to starboard. I prefer with this boat to dock to the starboard side and the swim step being on the stbd side may assist in loading from the dock. Basically...

    Solar Generators

    Holy smokes, I'm impressed with amount of stuff you're running with your set up. I'll have to look up all of your equipment and see if I can figure out how its all put together. I'll probably be private messaging you for more info. Sounds like a pretty cool set up.

    Lower Unit - 1998 Honda BF40 - Works Great, crack developing in housing

    That does seem like a possibility. I suppose if the crack hasn't already gotten into the seal area they may be able to drill a hole at the end of the crack to prevent it from continuing and then weld the entire crack. As old as the aluminum is, it may be a crap shoot as to the possibility of...

    High Moisture Readings on a Survey

    I also have a 25 Cruiser (2007) and we love it. We also have the Lewmar windlass on the bow. I couldn't venture a guess as to how the stringer got moisture in it other than rain water and water that comes in with the rode. If your surveyor said not to worry about it then I wouldn't. That's...

    Solar Generators

    I will be most interested to hear how that works out for you. I saw about the same set up in the Jackery for the same price. I will definitely give Bluetti a look and make some comparisons.

    Solar Generators

    Thank you Tom, this is very useful information that you have compiled. By the sounds of it 2 200 w panels may be what is needed. Now to figure out how to configure everything in limited space.

    Looking for a part. Origo 4100 stove flame defuser

    Tom, I'm not exactly sure what this flame defuser is but if you could post a picture or the drawing maybe I or somebody could make one for you.

    Solar Generators

    Thanks Rob. That looks like quite a system that would keep you out for as long as you want to be. I'm going to make the assumption that you power all your electrical needs with this system ie house lights, refrigerator, etc, as well as your freezer and that it is a built in system with solar...

    Lower Unit - 1998 Honda BF40 - Works Great, crack developing in housing

    I pretty much agree with Salmon Fisher. I'm afraid that the crack must be really close to the seal surface area and will be leaking seawater into the gear case. Which begs the question as to "What caused the crack"? Someone may want to harvest the parts even tho there isn't much there. I...

    Solar Generators

    We presently use a 100 AH liFepo4 battery to run our portable ICECO freezer. The battery is charged by a Honda eu2000i generator when at the dock (if no electricity available) or plugged in to boat 12V when underway. It seems to me that it used a lot of battery overnight when keeping thing...

    Member Location

    Yes, interesting that this topic just came up, as I was just trying to find the location of a member and had no luck. One used to be able to go to the profile of an individual and find their home town etc. I'm hoping that this feature will return. Still feeling my way around this new format...

    Cockpit Step

    Thank you for that. I would think that there might be a market for your step design. Probably wouldn't take long to assemble is you had a pattern and built 5 or 6 units at a time and sell them to needy Cdory owners. Again, nice job.

    Cockpit Step

    Very nice workmanship and practical design. How thick is the plywood? Did you use two sheets on the bottom step? Are those dowl pins and glued together? Could you provide dimensions if someone were interested? Thanks.

    Cockpit Step

    My first thoughts were; Thats a great idea, and Those corners need to be rounded out a bit. Maybe take a quarter and trace out the radius on those corners and cut them accordingly then round the sharp edges off. I agree with Tom, it may not be for everybody but if you are agile enough then...

    Winterizing

    Another proven method is to put a sheet of bounce fabric softener on any possible entry hole. I've been using this method for years in the 5th wheel trailer. For some reason mice do not like the smell of bounce and will not go near it. Haven't had a mouse in the trailer for many years since I...

    Iceco frig or other options

    We've got a 20 quart version. We go out usually for about 2 weeks at a time. When out on anchor I charge the 100ah Lipo4 battery using a honda EU 2000i generator . We use the cooler as a freezer for shrimp and salmon that is vacuum sealed. I works pretty well but it does uses a lot of...
