I have the radar arch installed. The radar is mounted on the arch with the cable running into the cabin. Question? Should the power source for the LED be wired into the main panel with the other accessories or do I run it directly to the battery. It does have an inline fuse.

It appears that if you loop your extra radar cable back through the rear cockpit gunnel that you are going to be running it parallel to a variety of power sources. Does this present a problem. I am ready to mount my next week. Any suggestions on how to address the fact that my 1623 Furuno...

Yippee, the radar arch is installed and solid as a rock. Survived my first encounter with 3M5200 -holy cow that stuff adhere to anything and everything including one's hands. Great tip to use WD40 or Finger Nail Polish Remover (acetone) to remove the uncured. Does anything remove it once it...

Anybody have any idea what kind of costs I am facing to 1.) Have my King Canvas altered to accomodate my new tall radar arch and furno 1623 dome. 2.) To add a zipper to where the camper back attaches to the cockpit. Kaaaa Chink Kaaa Chink is a constant sound as I try to get the boat set up...

I picked up the 3M 5200 fast drying caulk today. I am going to have to drill the first pilot hole to determine what size SS bolts I will need. I plan to use SS backing plate and SS acorn locking nuts with the nylon threads and nylon washers. YIKES Any other suggestions before I take the...

I am going out to buy the hardware on Saturday. Anybody know what size bolt and style of nut to use. I am planning on using as SS Hex (don't know for sure length) with nylon washers, and nylon nut. Anybody know exact bolt diminsions?

Pat, Roger Thanks for the feedback. I plan to bolt through with backing plates. Any tricks to working with 5200. Is there any margin of error if you get it on part of the gel coat where you don 't want it etc. I am so excited aboutl having the arch. Unfortuately being a poor man I am going...

I am ready to install my new Radar Arch. What product should I use to seal the plates and screw holes to avoid any water entry?

I just noticed on my return trip from Blakely that my Port Side front chalk is pulling out. I will have to explore the damage that might be done. 2003 22ft Cruiser

I think the show stopper is cost. The real question is it worth the cost to go with stainless. It also must be harder to work with. Thanks for your insight. I am believer in pay me now rather than pay me later. Tough call.

I have a friend that is going to fabricate a Radar Arch for me. Stainless is my preference but he doesn't want me to rule out anodized aluminum. He has the ability to chrome and or powder finish as well?

What a great response from Falco to help a newbie discover the wonders of boating on the West Side of Vancouver Island. The links are great and you can't beat the encouragement. It is one thing to own a boat. It is whole other matter to have people who willing to be so darn helpful. Any one...

I am heading to Port Alberni and up through the Broken Islands the 2nd Week in August. A group of friends will be kayaking while I am in my C-Dory. Any info about Marina's in Port Alberni or places to go or avoid in the Broken Islands

Roger, Sure enough I have a 2003 22 ft Cruiser I will call the factory and see what they have to say. It is deed the brass stem guard. I can't tell on initial inspection of the screws are loose. Any body from Kenmore's is going to have great advice. I grew up in Kenmore. My folks live on...

I noticed today when my boat was coming off the lift at Des Moines that the factory installed keel gaurd has a slight gap as the it raised at the bow. Is this something I should be concerned about? It appears as if it is screwed in place about every six inches.

I am thinking about putting in at Pt. Alberney and going out into the Broken Islands the second week in August. I have a group of friends who will be spending the week kayaking. Where do you put in at? Sounds like you have GRAND month in store.

Cheers, Thanks a million. What a great site for anybody with sunbrella products.

Any suggestions on good products and techniques to clean my sunbrella canvas and bimini top? After a year of exposure it has a lot of black water streaks, a few bird blessings, and a couple of dark smudges.

Sea Wolf Thanks for your research. In the Northwest the two conditions that I have encountered that require utter attention to what is going on is heavy rain and fog. The good news of LCD for C-Dory is we do have the cabin and usually the lighting conditions are overcast. Color is so much...

I have a Garmin 182 C GPS and I am trying to figure out how to do an inexpensive radar system. (I would love the fully integrated system but at the end of the day what I am really looking for is a system that will offer me a high enough level of safety to allow me to find safe harbor when the...
