    Friday Harbor

    You could launch at Cap Sante but that sling is a lot. Ramp and parking at deception pass. We use this one a lot. launch at washington park with parking. Good for your smaller boat. But does go almost dry on a -2 tide. My boat needs a 2 ft tide or better for that one. We have also been using...

    Autopilot Principles

    Any kicker from 5hp, small side , to 9.9 will work fine but, always a but, not all are equal. anything below a 8 is not going to have power tilt and trim or remote throttle for the most part. EFI is great and Mercury has that on their 9.9 motor bodies ( power head) but some of them and some of...

    Autopilot Principles

    " to save gas and noise" I am not sure you would do either running a cdory on a kicker at almost full throttle vs a 90hp main motor at idle. A modern 90 hp at idle is almost silent. I have a 225 hp honda on my27 cdory and I cant hear it running at idle. I can hear the water pump pissing over...

    Autopilot Principles

    Hi, So autopilots ( AP) come in several forms for several uses. auto pilots for the big motors are either hydraulic or electrical. 95% are hydraulic driven by a pump that is mounted inline with your current hydraulic pump, thats your steering wheel. Your steering wheel is just a hand powered...

    Tenders (Dingys)

    We have a 9ft? inflatable with a inflatable keel . The keel and floor are the must have for me. It allows you to easily row the boat to shore far better then a flat floor or a wood floor. I have had all of them at one time or another and nothing rows as easily as a blow up keel and floor. We...

I am looking at a re power in the coming years and i will go with a mercury or a yamaha. The mercury in a 225 hp is...

    27 foot long cabin

    OOOHH. You found a unicorn. That is not a 27 cruiser but a 27 offshore. The offshore cdorys had a deep vee. completely different hull then most cdorys. Very few made. I only got to ride in one . That was called "Great northen" I think. It was a 26. I think this is most likely a 26 also. It will...

Which is a great motor for my use. I can cruise on plane from anywhere between 14 mph to 30 mph and get 2.25 mpg...

    PNW Cruising

    My suggestion for sleeping 4 on a 25 is for 2 of them to be in a tent on the shore. Not being funny but as our son James hit 5'10" and then 6ft we moved him from the bed/table to the tent on the beach. Many great camp grounds on the San juans and gulf islands are set up with tent camping in...
