Wouldn't galvanized ones be ok?

Casey that is weird. I have a dual axle king trailer with plastic fenders and the flat spot in the fender, directly over the wheel flexes quite easily, especially when heated in the sun. I still step on it but it helps to know that it's going to give way. I wonder if they put some kind of...

I was wondering if any of you with the delt fastset have issues with it coming up pointed the wrong way? I have an achor swivel on mine but the delta seems happy hanging in either direction. Half the time when I try to ease it into the anchor roller it's pointing the wrong way and requires a...

Time to bring this back up. THe Oregon season starts this week. I'm planning on this Friday, Saturday (may 9th, 10th) out of Newport. Any other Brats going?

You might contact stevej (boat name shearwater) on this site as he has done a transome repair. Here is a link to his photo album. http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_albumName=album682&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php

Here's a video of it in action. There are more on youtube posted by users. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYrnOCWoFco

To truly appreciate the c-dory you must first understand the concept behind them. As far as I know there are no aluminum, cabin cruisers that accomplish these concepts. First off, the 22' cruiser was designed to be a "trawler"/cabin cruiser that would be easy to trailer and didn't need a massive...

It's hard to beat the scotty's lifetime warrenty. Also the scotty reps seem to have a strong presence in the NW. They are at a lot of the local sporting goods shows ect. I've heard nothing but great news about their customer support. Cannon seems to have a good grip on the east coast. I'm sure...

I cannot speak from experience but know of a few fisher folks that have had unreliable service from their Sat phones while off shore. Go figure.

We saw probably 25 of them this last summer offshore. Very cool fish.

Smitty, that looks like a king marine trailer but maybe it was re-branded an Eagle?

Well, I"m still hopefull. THe towers on the northern oregon coast are on some hills/mountains so maybe my milage will vary, or I'll find out I wasted my money.

I'll try it with just the antenna and with the amplifier and post back. I'm waiting for halibut to open in two weeks and then for the weather to cooperate.

Funny you should ask. Over the winter I installed an 8' combo vhf/Cellular antenna. I didn't stop there though, I also installed a cell signal amplifier (DA4000) and a cell phone port to plug my phone into. Both products are made by Digital Antenna ( http://www.digitalantenna.com/ ) I...

I'd like to make a couple recommendations for preventative maintanence. First, add a common ground to all your lights. Most trailers just ground the trailer and then ground each light to the frame. After a couple years you will have burned out lights (even if they are LED). Another probably more...

Here ya go.

I have the Honda 8 classic mounted starboard. With an extension pole I could steer the kicker but had limited range because the kicker arm would hit the main. I ponied up for the TR-1 Gold autopilot for the kicker. It also does throttle control. Best 2k I've spent.

I have not "installed" vinyl graphics before but when I was younger i did tint my car windows. Spraying with soapy water is a must. You squeege the water out once in place. I'm thinking the same process will work with vinyl but I can say the proffessional that did mine didn't use water. He did...

Yup, it's normal for some water to collect before the float switch on the pump triggers. I'm not to comfortable with 2" of water in the cockpit though (at least not while offshore fishing) so I just finished wiring in the manual over ride wire so I can flip the switch when I want to. If you...

Looking through your photo album I would say it was too dam cold and the boat cracked. :lol: On a serious note, the problem you describe seems to be quite common. Look at the other threads and I believe someone posted pictures of the types of cracks that are ok and ones that are not. Oh by...
