    Fuel filler back splash prevention?

    I'm sorry I assumed you had translucent plastic tanks. I'm also sorry I can't offer any experience with the device you are considering. That said, you must then have a gauge which should give you a fairly accurate estimate of the amount needed to fill, right? Just slow down a gallon before...

    Fuel filler back splash prevention?

    I would try this: next time you fill to burp point mark the level on the outside of the opaque tank with tape or paint line. The top of your tanks taper down. As a result the last gallon or so to go in is really fast. Stop or slow filling before it reaches that mark. As the doctor says: if it...

    What would you do?

    Good to hear from you Andy. I was hoping you would show up soon. Request an album next. As you can see, I'm still lurking. Oh, fix the truck Johnr! And good luck!

    MOKAI?

    I should have checked that first. Thanks for the kind and tactful nudge. I often wonder why other folks don't research before starting new threads and now here I am doing the same thing. The best advice and information a person can get is from this group.

    MOKAI?

    I know that at least one member, Jay, has a MOKAI and I'd like to hear from him or any other owners about their thoughts and experiences with these little boats. Now that MINNIE is gone I need a new "unique" interest and am considering one for the Mississippi River backwaters. Thanks.

    Minnie Swann goes home

    Thanks for the note. Another coincidence is she returned on the very same route that she came to me on 11 years ago. By the way, you have very nice neighbors!

    Minnie Swann goes home

    11 years ago I bought her out in Spokane and promised her owner a good home on the Mississippi River, here on the Wisconsin Riviera. I kept that promise as long as I could. Today she sold to a gentleman back in Washington State and will soon be crusing the San Juan Islands. She's excited, I'm a...

    Should i or not?

    It would take a lot of money and a very strong marriage to survive a project like you describe. And if you decide to do it in spite of our warning, do it only if you intend to keep it for the rest of your life.

    Start seeing C-dory's

    Thanks for trying to help Sunbeam. Ifinally discovered that I can bring it up with the single search word "dory" (too much screwing around for most buyers I think) but everything else failed. I tried all combinations, with and without hyphens, and with various capital letters prior to that.

    Start seeing C-dory's

    When I bought Minnie Swann 12 years ago I needed a loan and had a terrible time convincing the bank that C-dorys existed and that they were worth big money. Now I'm selling her and my potential buyers are experiencing the same delema. We could use some help from the factoryand our owners group...

    c-brat burgees pics

    I fly mine and it's included in the sale price of Minnie that I just posted yesterday. I use a compact, expanding umbrella cover to protect it on the mast when not in use. Also quiets it for better sleeping when it's breezy. Sorry, no pictures.

    2001 22cruiser $29,500 (Prescott, Wisconsin)

    Thanks for the kind words. There is a mistake in the description that I just noticed and it is past the edit time so I'll explain it here. The hours are 886 not 860. The port engine hour meter reads higher (1,080) because when I had it serviced for a charging coil replacement a few years ago it...

    Radio silence

    When do you think you will be coming through Prescott, WI on your return trip.

    Radio silence

    I could provide an Email address for Tex Allen, and then you could have them stop on the return leg. (The "eagles" get upset when they hear the radio chatter if you get my drift!) Please do so!

    Radio silence

    I forgot to mention I called on 68 for that very reason. I too thought it unusual that they were traveling together with radios off.

    Radio silence

    Just tried to hail 2 C-Dorys heading up the Mississippi. Probably coming back from the Iowa meet. No response but that's not unusual in my experience. Is our group radio shy or do they just use their radios in emergencies? I always thought if you had one it should be on. Personally I don't...

    Voltage regulator Honda 40

    I had that problem and the first symptom was the tachometer worked. Intermittently and then quit completely. I was told that a loose ground on the battery cable caused the charging coil to burn out. About the same cost as I remember. Now I tighten batt. connections with a wrench.
