I’ve acquired two used Optima yellow top batteries, model D31T. I don’t know how old they are, but they both currently show a charge of about 8.6 volts. I’m not familiar with these sort of AGM batteries and their durability. Is it possible to recharge these and have them function normally? Or...

Welcome from a fellow Californian (and Cal Poly SLO grad)! Congrats on the new boat and safe travels.

BoatUS also offers a lettering service for members. I used it once a few years ago and it worked great. https://www.boatus.com/products-and-ser ... -lettering

What a nice setup for a 16…! Very rare combo with the twin engines. I bet it’s really quiet & fuel efficient. I’m sure you’ll find a good home for it.

Spotted this on the Sacramento Craigslist today. Unusual enlarged pilothouse. It also has the engine mounted on a transom extension. Is all this aftermarket customization? Listing here: https://sacramento.craigslist.org/boa/d ... 12579.html

We opted to acquire our 22 last year without the trailer. We live in an apartment and our marina is walking distance away. Makes for an easy lifestyle to enjoy the boat anytime we want. Haven’t missed the trailer for a second. Nowhere to park it and nothing to tow it with. I knew at the outset...

Sounds like a beauty, and quite an economical project, all in. Congrats! Please post some pix!

Olekils: Thanks for the part numbers. Very helpful!

Thanks, pals! Some good tips here.

My motor cover has weather damage and I want to repaint it. Can someone tell me where to find the right “Honda silver” paint in a rattle can? Or something close to it?

Thank you!

Timely for me as well since I’m new to the BF90. Does anyone know whether the 2001 engine has a timing belt or chain?

What do you mean “keeping things in the right order”?

I cannot attend but am glad to see this happening. I live in Sacramento and may drive down to meet the crew in Rio Vista. I am also happy to offer any advice about local amenities. My wife and I lived on houseboats in the Isleton-Rio Vista area for two years and know the area well. Restaurants...

Thanks for the feedback. I think I will keep the bracket in hopes of one day finding a used Torqeedo or Epropulsion as a backup motor. They come up on the used market in my area pretty regularly, so that’s my goal. There are times, also, when it would be pretty nice to have the quietnof an...

My C-Dory came with a bracket on the transom to mount an auxiliary outboard (photo attached). I’d like to remove it to tidy up the appearance of the boat. I am not a fisherman so will never need a kicker or trolling motor. But there is a remote chance that someday I may want to mount a small...

I know this is an old thread. But I just want to share a big “thanks” to the C-Brats community for the solution below to my wobbly tachometer problem. I was worried I would have to replace my tach. Then I found this thread and the solution below restored stability to my tach needle. I’ve...

Well I was able to get the old wheel off today. Surprisingly easy for a 40-yr-old boat! I didn’t even need a puller. But I did apply all the tricks y’all suggested. A bit of wiggling and then pulling one side at a time seemed to do the trick. The hardest part was getting the nut off as they...

I wish I had saved a pic from the CL ad because they’ve already been taken down. It. However, it looks a heckuva lot like the “Classic Dinghy” sold by West Marine (thumbnail attached).

I think I saw yours for sale on Bay Area Craigslist and was tempted by it myself. But I’m afraid know nothing about them and I hope someone will chime in with info.
