I don’t know the temperature rating of the grease you used, I would think silicon grease is very low temp. Maybe a super-thin coating of disc brake grease (400°+) might be good? I think I used a marine waterproof grease on mine (probably not high temp). I’ll have to rethink how I grease those...

I too have never had this kind of problem with my disc calipers, I’ve had other problems, but not this. I’ve been running Kodiak Stainless Steel calipers for the past 5 yrs or so with my EOH system and over 10,000 miles, no issues. In your picture of the rubber bushing (that is present), is it...

Karl & Nancy, nice pics. Us old-timers tend to leave it to the newbies to post the best pictures…thanks.

Sorry Gary for not being able to make this one, enjoyed last year's immensely. I especially enjoyed the demonstration of your folding kayak (or boat) and its sea-worthiness. This season's event falls exactly on top of my close nephew's graduation from Montana State University, which we scheduled...

Roger & Pat, Joel & Susan, thanks for thinking of us. It works both ways, it’s just not the same without you guys. It’s like you take your family to Disneyland, but some of them can’t come. I’m sure all of us ‘veterans’ miss you a lot like we do.

Likewise, I got tired of replacing the dual horns every 1-2 years. It seemed that the “marine” horns were worse for longevity. You never hear of a car horn going out, so I ordered Hyundai dual horns, they’ve been on there 3-4 yrs now, so far I’m quite pleased.

Excellent insights and novel ideas on maximizing the utility of the boat for the type of cruising desired. My wife and I primarily do short cruises to our offshore Channel Islands and usually with another family on board. We have always managed and enjoyed the space aboard our CD25. The separate...

Hi Jim, Dora~Jean will bring a Caesar Salad. I’ll mail the check tomorrow. Thanks, Steve

Hi Karl, glad you’ll be joining us, it will be a trip you’ll remember for sure. On the striper fishing, I can say a few words. In many years past, we have tried very exotic bait tying and presentation, but when they’re not hungry, it doesn’t seem to matter. In the last couple of years, the...

I can add a little to the discussion regarding some pros and cons (mostly positive) of the CD25 (which I’ve owned for 20 yrs since new). I’ve never owned a CD22, but have compared some aspects of performance while boating with groups of CD22’s and having ridden a few CD22’s on day trips. I...

Yes, quarters.

Hi all. This very same thing happened last year. All of a sudden, a flurry of activities right on top of this week. Last year it was my wife in Virginia and me with the animals at home. The turtle and dog went to neighbors and relatives, the parrot came with me. This year with have relatives...

I have a separate Link 10 monitor for each starter battery which are DIRECTLY connected to their respective engine (twin Yami 80’s). I typically read 14.5-14.8VDC on each engine. That’s just a tad higher than automobile regulators are set for (older ones at least). I believe they run outboard...

Maybe someone more knowledgeable than I can weigh in on the particulars of damage to marine engines caused by Ethanol. My understanding is that it primarily affects carbureted engines because the gas (w/Ethanol) can erode the aluminum surfaces of the carb(s) while sitting in the fuel bowl for...

Last year, the MDR slip people required proof of boat insurance as well. All you need is your Declaration Page, either printed or as a pdf accessible on your phone.

I too will be checking my caliper pins, looks like a failure waiting to happen. There is one thing I've pondered since owning an EOH system. The electronic controller mounted on the tow vehicle's dash area might be a contributor. My Tekonsha has 3 boost levels to send a steep pressure gradient...

Sweet. Too bad about the calipers and pins. That's something that would even be new for me! Hope to be there tomorrow late afternoon just before closing.

I just downloaded the CBP Roam app. It looks a little intimidating to learn its use. But I'm sure it will become clearer when needing to use it.

Colby, thanks for the tip on Nebo. I downloaded it, seems to be a good app for finding those in your group (as long as we have cell coverage that is). I see that I'm at "anchor" in my side yard. Hint, you have to start & stop a voyage (only once) to get your boat to appear. And Martin, thanks...

Ditto on Colby's plans. We will be the caboose on the Brock-Colby train.
