Cedar deck grates are built in 3 sections for easy cleanout.

Deck grate build.

In case anyone planning on a trip to the Bahamas. Starting July 1st, 2025 it will cost $800 USD total, for a cruising permit, anchor permit, and fishing permit. For any boat under 35 ft. Below is pasted from the new amended Bahamian Law book for your reading enjoyment! “ 89B. Frequent Digital...

I second that what Bob said, spray salt away on your brakes and disks. Or any soapy mix, simple green works too. The soap will keep the metal from rusting together. Divers welding under water, dip their welding leads in a bucket of soap to prevent surface rust while on lunch break. It works!

Generator Platform

I built a platform in the motor well for my Magma gas grill that can hold the Honda Generator when not using the grill. Now I put the grill when I am cooking, on a wood box that is storage for my aft anchor. I don't worry about gas tank fumes with an open flame because the vents are outside of...

Don was confirming with the manufacturer of C-Dory that the bulkhead is not structural. Also giving us appreciation for our advice too. In my industry, the saying is; “trust but verify, no matter who they are.”Thanks for the feedback Don

Cut the forward bulkhead out! Instant 2-foot gain. I was REALLY thinking about getting a longer boat too. It took me 5 years to finally get the balls to cut out the forward bulkhead to the v-birth. I wish that I did this when I bought it 5 years ago. I looked at Rosborough really hard. I...

I would say put it on the Stbd. side. Mainly because the cabin door secures to the port side bulkhead. I recommend docking your boat to port because the boat backs to port, making it easier docking on the port side. Using propeller walk in your favor (pro-tip) for boat handling.

I wanted to give everybody a heads up heading to Hontoon Island. We arrived yesterday and planed to Fill our water tanks up at Hontoon Island. The water coming out of the Spicket from the dock there are muddier than the river itself. I would not put that water in your boat tanks. We ended up...

We have two ENGEL powered 24 qt. freezer/ fridges on our boat. We power them for 16 hours (one in freezer mode, one in fridge mode) with the EF ECOFLOW Portable Power Station RIVER 2 Pro, 768Wh LiFePO4 Battery, 70 Min Fast Charging, off generator at 850 watts, or slow charge at 150 watts from...

A low pressure fuel pump might be the missing link when used in line with the modified generator fuel cap. As the generator tank empties the pump will keep positive pressure on the line. The pump will stop running when it reaches 6 psi.. No need for a switch because this is a diaphragm pump...

Dr. Bob brought up a good point with money transactions for boat rides. If you find a license captain that owns a boat that your interested in, then you can pay for the ride. Coastguard even states that payment includes any form of fuel, food, beverages, and money. :wink: It would be rude to...

Thanks! This is the original fuel tank that came with the boat. It is two tanks in one. Each side holds 27 gallons, I can hold a total of 54 gallons. I got lucky with this boat, having such a large fuel cap. When I re-powered, the tank had to come out. I had the opportunity to clean the outside...

Thanks John! We’ll see you guys at Hontoon Island this year.

Thanks Noro Lim! This is actually my 3rd attempt at making a generator shelf. As you know how difficult this can be. I checked out the shelf you made for your boat, great idea with the aluminum bracket clips. The brace underneath of your shelf looks almost identical as the one underneath mine...

The 30 amp socket is putting out 1850watts consistent load. I have one generator, I bought the Companion model only for the 30amp plug. I found using the 20 amp plug it tends to pull out easily from the weight of the shore power cord. For me, I wanted a clean installation that’s why I am using...

Looks like $132,000 for a 2025 22' Cruiser. https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2025-c- ... r-9638146/

Thanks! It’s the Honda EU2200 Companion (with 30amp socket).
