Had he bought the CD 14 first, he might not have wanted all that crap hooked on to it.

I made new side curtains re-using the plastic awning rail and the original vinyl awning rope. Instead of sewing the awning rope to Sunbrella, I glued it to vinyl coated polyester with HH66. Also used common sense fasteners instead of zippers. Some pictures in my photo album under Canvas...

Old Sunbrella curtains

I have a Vesper 6000. I looked at everything and made a giant complex cheat sheet to try to keep things straight in my head as to which unit offered what I wanted/needed. I then learned that my first choice was out of stock everywhere. So much for time consuming research. I went with a...

I've had really good luck deploying mosquito coils in the little stainless holders below. Put it out on the swim step or in the splash well immediately upon dropping anchor. When I was on Lake Ozette, I would light it before I even dropped the anchor. I have no-see-um netting on the windows...

The reawakening of El and Bill's "What I Should Know Before Buying a Boat" thread made me think of this again. In that thread are links to movies in their photo album. I tried to load a movie into my photo album and got a message to "wait." So I let it sit overnight to load a movie into the...

That never bothered me too much. In fact, I think it might help when travelling at hull speed. With a heavy bow, my 16 doesn't squat until 4.5 knots. Woohoo, another .2 knots on hull speed! One problem with a heavy bow is bow steer when on plane. If I'm fully loaded and slap something (like...

Those actual GPH numbers are why I have a 2000 GPH pump with smooth wall hose in my CD 16. I figure that gets me a realistic 600 GPH, about the same rate I could do with a bucket (probably not for an hour). For a serious wave over the stern, GPH likely won't help. I would have to rely on PFD...

I don't see a Fuel $ button on my phone app. Do I need to upgrade?

I cut mine back with no issues. Pictures in my photo album under Modifications-Windows. Mark

The diagram brings up a question I've had for awhile about adding a LiO battery dedicated to only my induction stovetop. If the VSR is eliminated, then the DC to DC charger goes only from the FLA battery to the LiO battery. I assume that the DC to DC charger is one-way, i.e., the LiO can't...

I use a Gamma Seal on a 2 gallon bucket (because the cd 16 is tiny). They are a little harder to find. Instead of peat, I use Poo Powder. It can absorb a rather amazing amount of liquid. That said, I tend to use a discrete direct overboard system for #1. I tested little composting trash...

Right on the path to the garage this year. That's an alder leaf behind it to give some perspective. http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?full ... _photo.php Some day I'm going to remember how to post pictures.

I did. The original passenger side wiper was manual. It required me to rise out the the seat and stretch over to the wiper handle. Not a big problem except if I waited too long and let salt spray dry. I simply bought the same motor/wiper as the helm side and spliced into the wire.

I remember seeing that somebody "gave up" their MMSI number so that it could be used as a group number for C-Brats. If the number still works, it might be nice to post it here (I couldn't find it in a search) so that those attending FH can keep in touch with the group. Learning how this is...

As per usual, I haven't locked in to whether I'm going. I was thinking about trailering to Bellingham as in the past, but I'm having troubles with trailer lights and finally gave up. Should have checked out the trailer lights earlier. Since the dealer installed them I'm going back to the...
