I purchased a lowrance elite 7ti this past summer with the totalscan transducer and have been happy with it so far. It would have been nice to buy the hds 7 gen 2 or gen 3, they allow for an autopilot control and a few other things that the elite 7ti won't do but these units are a fair bit more...

X2 on the rainx. Simple solution and no holes drilled.

Done. Let's hope this makes a difference!

Was it possibly Valkyrie?

There are a few boat that I have seen with porthole install pics here, I can't recall the names off hand but the vetus pm 21 porthole is a good fit and is as big as you would want to go to avoid any problems with the curved surface they are installed through. I seem to remember an almond...

The fuel clip is the device that attaches your fuel line to the motor. I think it is important to consider the fact that it may not be fuel related at all, have you pulled a spark plug yet? It's possible you have an ignition problem. An engine with improper timing or a bad stator/ coil will...

Well the simple approach that works for me is a trolling bar attached to the main engine and a servo controlled throttle that is wired to the helm. The throttle control I've been using is called the control king and it has worked flawlessly. Maybe this is not what you had in mind but it's cheap...

Have you ever set your tps? I recently had a problem with my f80 and it seemed like fuel related problems when in fact the tps( throttle position sensor ) was out of adjustment. Yours should be the same as mine, .732 volts + or-.014 of a volt at 800rpm take your reading from the black and pink...

I have used a product called magicezy in the past and it seems to work. Ya thanks about the the silicon, bad stuff to use on gelcoat for sure.

Ok thanks for the help, the cracks are in a few areas like the mounts for the cleaning table the door frame corners and a couple on the cabin corners. They don't look really bad, just wondering how common this is. I will seal them for now and order a gelcoat match for later repairs. Thanks...

While doing some spring boat cleanup I have noticed a few places where the gelcoat has some hairline cracks, how much is acceptable? Is this something that should be repaired immediately to avoid water intrusion? Just curious how common this is with other c dorys. I am wondering if gelcoat...

Hello sunbeam, I was reading your post and realized my Cdory is from crystal river as well and also has an f80. I had the exact same problem as you with the tilt cylinder and I ended up replacing the internals of the entire trim ram assembly. You can buy the complete unit with all seals and...

I mounted a 2.5 lb propane tank in the port side lazerete. I found I never used this as the live well it was intended for. It was a tight fit vertically so I routered a 1 inch riser out of uhmw that fits the hatch cover profile. I also made a ring to fit the base of the propane tank to stop any...

I was curious about the many choices in transducers and " chirp " sonar units as well, it seems to me all the big names in sonar/gps manufacturers have latched onto the chirp term trying to profit from the technology. My question is area these "chirp" units even anything like the original navy...

Hey careful now us Canucks know a few things about fishing too eh! Lol. Actually I usually just bleed out my Hali's after they have been harpooned and are still over the side with a quick but careful slice or two inside the gills. This keeps the boat relatively clean after you do haul them over...

Some good info here for sure. Anytime the load on the electrical system can be reduced that is a good thing. From my experience I have realized a dramatic increase in bulb life when using led's as well. 👍

Cool thanks for the help guys, looks like I may have to trudge through the snow as well to check exactly what I have just to make sure.

Hello folk, just looking at led lights for my 22 cruiser but the boat is in storage right now so I'm not sure of the proper bulbs needed, can someone give me the bulb sizes needed for the nav and anchor lights please? Thanks a ton.

I was considering the Scotty puller as well but opted for the ace line hauler instead. The Scotty has a very short boom that may cause your traps to scrap along the hull, maybe this is a none issue. Quality wise the Scotty has a lot of plastic on it as well, seems to me the ace line hauler is of...

Hello Larry, I passed you on the highway in the road construction area west of Prince George yesterday, was wondering who it was. In regards to storage you may want to consider launching at port Edward, it is a lot less busy and you will be able to just leave your tow rig and trailer along the...
