Great story telling Tom, that is the day in the life of owning a boat. Water has a way of finding it way into dry places. How were the edges of the 2" hole sealed by the hole driller ?

Local Boy, you got that right! For those across the nation, she came up with the brilliant idea that if you don't pay your rent during the winter months " You should NOT be forced to move out of your apartment". Seattle is being overrun by these like minded types. The streets of Seattle have...

Out of sight- Out of mind - does not equal happy braking. 12 "Dacromet coated backing plates from etrailer are 159 per pair. Doing a "brake job" by replacing backing plates is a 5 bolt process, very simple. No leaking hydraulics. Changing brakes on my dump, cargo, and travel trailer is a...

I have Geico, 21,000 agreed value, 250 p/ yr. Know the difference between actual cash value and agreed value.

Trailer brakes, there is truly no perfect solution. Stainless steel is softer than cast iron, and stainless steel gets hotter than cast iron. Warping of stainless steel rotors is a common problem. I bought a new LoadRite dual axle 9100 # trailer, the manufacturer would not offer stainless...

I think this thread has been very informative for those interested in the topic. Automation can be good, and it can certainly complicate things. For me personally, I try to use the KISS principle. When something goes wrong, you do not have to call in a scientist to fix. Good topic, as it has...

Having owned 3 E-tec v6 motors in the last 12 years, here is my brief thought. I never had any issues and performance was good. The existing local dealer network is woefully inadequate, and no improvement has occurred. Lastly, I heard a comment from a Florida outboard shop that has stuck with...

Comes out the back of the VSR, you will have to dismount the cluster to see behind it ( literally a 2" loop of like 20 guage wire ). House switch would have to be ON for charger current to reach house Bat. Leaving the Bat switches ON, negates the whole purpose of isolating the batteries OFF...

When your running ( normal operation ) have the Start Bat switch ON, and have the House Bat switch ON, leave Emerg. switch OFF. Emerg. switch is only used if you come to your boat and for some reason you find a dead start battery. When your storing the boat, you would turn both of those switches...

Sorry that you got caught in this mess. FYI, NMI the builders of Cdory's presently. Were the original owners of SeaSport boats. SeaSport boats are NOT found in NADA or KBB. The owners have never participated with those entities, on purpose to have there boats retain higher resale values...

Gene, I tried to send PM to you, does not show up in my sentbox. Please PM me with your contact info. thanks

Gene, I will take it. I'm snow bound in Anacortes, we can arrange meeting. alan

Drewbird and MikeR, Is the use of the permatrim still needed ? I see pics of Jennykatz without the permatrim. thanks

Seems that a review of Consumer Affairs Reviews needs to be done. Seems that they use peoples reviews for there own benefit. That's not nice. Back to your Merc thoughts. thanks

I liked the specs and features compared to the other 115's. Then I ran across a web site called Consumer Affairs, it was loaded with disgruntled owners. I realize that there are hundreds of happy owners who do not say how happy they are. Whereas someone who is having a problem is looking for...

Most of the early models sold came with a 70hp 2 stroke motor which weighed 254 pounds. The 1989 factory flyer indicated this power achieved 32 mph at WOT at 7.0 gph. Cruise was 4000 rpm, 22.5 mph, at 4.0 gph, getting 5.6 mpg. By greater than 2:1 ratio. The most popular repower is the Honda 90...

I have installed the camera's on my past boats. The camera should have the highest rating for "wet" locations. Most important, for a small boat with open windshield location " sunlight viewable screen". Cheapest way to get this is to find a model that plugs into a camera. These would have a...

I'm reading 1987. Is this correct ? thanks

So the catalog figure looks accurate at 6'4". Thanks

The factory catalog ( really old ) shows 6'4". What is a accurate measurement ? Thanks for the help !
