Thank you, I read your post with absolute glee as I am getting ready for my 1st launch after years of planning and weeks of preparation and getting to know my boat I still am waking up in absolute panic thinking about it. It is good to hear your experience and we will just take our time. No more...

I had a similar problem with my '08 expedition, it turned out to be a missing or never installed trailer tow iso relay..hard to find on the trip but special ordered from napa and everything was fine

I would like to get my 2 cents in here since I have one and am not trying to sell it. ha. keep in mind I have not had my boat out yet but have done as much research as possible. I will respond again in 1 month after our lake powell adventure. Granted for most owners this is ridiculous but for...

Good point about the kayaks. We are in our mid seventies just starting out our boating career, our lives are rather boring compared to my younger days. We watched the movie "forks over knives" We are creating our own "Blue Zone" plant based diet and and lots of exercise so the C-Dory is really...

It seems you are suggesting I use non eth gas. considerably more expensive. Well ok but my engine manuals say up to 10% eth is ok...so which is it?

O.K. if I add a second battery to the guest 2611a charger does that mean I have it in the boat electrical system or just on the charging side (system)? I am planning on putting the second battery in the live bait tank (since I am not using it) and run wires from a heavy duty jumper cable I...

I have a Guest 2611a trolling charger, is there any reason I could not connect a second battery in parallel with the connections provided?

Thank you C Brats, it is a no brainer, thank you for your experience and wisdom. Can you imagine 11 hrs and then add some strong wind and waves. The wife would never go out again. I have the time might as well do it right. I am so glad I asked!

Wow, thank you so much! I am in ST George Utah just getting to know my boat for our 1st trip out, Lake Powell for 1 week or 2. Just loving your photos I AM PUMPED!!! i like your racks, I have 2 eddyline kayaks on top and wanting the 2 SUP as well but I dunno pretty difficult if not dangerous. I...

newby 1st trip out. I was going to fill both factory tanks and 2 small red ones at Costco in st George and then drive 2 1/2 hrs to page. Thinking of convenience and cost. Or should I fill up in page just before I put in. Thinking of weight and additional danger traveling if any. Thank...

Newby ( 1st trip out) to lake powell for a week or 2. Ques 1 If i should totally drain the one battery I have could I pull start the kicker and then it would charge up the battery to start the main engine? Ques 2 if the answer is no could I put a second battery in the opposite rear compartment...

thank you, that kind of info is very useful and appreciated. Sorry you cannot come, we are looking forward to meeting you, maybe at another place and time.

yes, cleat was the wrong word. thank you

they are not running now, the battery is bad. we don't know if they will run, that is the reason for the post.

We are planning to be on lake powell the month of september and as long as we feel like staying. We have bought a (new to us 2004 22 cruiser with a 50 honda and a 9 kicker) no we are not in a hurry to go anywhere! We are in our 70's I have never owned a boat before and frankly the whole idea...

my friend is looking at a C-Dory with twin 45's stored ourdoors for 8 years and not winterized. Running fine when parked with about 1200 hrs. So what are the chances the motors could be salvaged, with some serious maintenance. That is all we know. Is it possible or are they history just give me...

O.K. I am getting ready to fix my walnut size hole just below the cleat where it hits the roller. (earlier post gave me several alternitivies) would marine tex or pc 11 2 part marine grade epoxy be a better choice?..I really don't want to mess with the cloth resin best fix. but it has been fixed...

thank you so much. No it goes in maybe an inch, can't imagine what would have caused it in the 1st place. Is the front not meant to be tight against the roller? I just cant pay anyone to do something I am able to do ...the older I get the more of a curse or a blessing this is!? So I am...

Getting home from picking up my new boat (2004) I noticed a hunk gone out of the hull about the size of a small walnut. It is where the boat hits the roller on the ratchet up front. Ugly ..Ouch! maybe I tightened it to much on the trip and it looks like it may have been repared before so I...
