C-Sick is at the C-Dory factory getting a new impeller and pump kit. She should be good for the New Year. Have a blessed time with family and friends and start the New Year right. On the water.

I got the word from C-Dory today that they need to replace the impeller and install a new water pump kit. Have any of you had this job done? Most likely cause is running the engine without water. This happened once this summer pulling into Blakely it was so shallow I lifted the starboard...

The impeller went. Usually from running without water. Could be related to ear muffs don't know for sure. So in the end it was a Kidney stone made out of plastic.

Flying on one wing for the Lk WA Cruise prove to be related to a bad impeller. Don't know what screwed it up. Bill at C-Dory said running the engine out of water can do that. He also suggested when flushing with ear muffs to cover up the water intake just below the cavitation plate with duck...

At low rpm I was getting no pee out the telltale. Cleaned out the openings with a paper clip, removed the brass nipple and put a coat hanger down the shaft. It started to pee again. Got out on the Lake and the alarm went off. Tried a second time and it would pee but the water was not as...

It was my first Sat off since August and to spend it with such a great group was a real gift. I had to fly on one wing. Tomorrow off to C-Dory. The tell tale quit producing entirely. Sure found out the advantage of two engines. Made it back to Gene Coulon just in time for the Ivar Clam...

There is an outside chance I might get my first Saturday off in 3 months which opens up the possibility of the Lk WA cruise. I have never been through the Locks. What does it take. Special lines? Thought about going out with the Christmas ships some night as well

Make it a good one but hold down the noise in the neighborhood so that you don't disturb the police chief next door. Happy Birthday

Just spent a wonderful week at Lake Chelan - reluctantly left C-Sick at home but was delight to see Hunky Dory show up. This is the 8th boat made and is still in nice shape with a Honda 90. It gets up and goes.

Mike, Enjoy your birthday and the respect and admiration of your C-Brat friends.

Blakely was a first for me and everything I had heard about what a great group of people the C-Brats are rang true. My brother Dan and nephew Shea were likewise impressed. It was really something to shake the hands of such legendary figures as Da Nag and Tyboo. We had a great time including...

I learned the hard way not to place a fender between the Wallas Exhaust vent and the dock. Started smelling burning rubber when it dawned on me. I am sharing my foolishness to spare someone else making the same mistake. Could have been ugly. Once corrected I let the stove burn on high to...

I forgot to mention the Scotty instructions for the gimbal mount indicate that you can only mount the downrigger with the outrigger pointing aft (not to the side) This may call for additional reinforcement.

I want to mount my Perko Rod Holders between the gas fill cap and the skid plate on the gunwale. Those of you who have done this what have you used for a backing plate. How thick is the gunnel and did you use any tricks to drill the 65 degree angle? Any suggestions will be helpful. I plan...

I forgot to mention I have Lawerence Simpson Horizon 600 Windlass

Joe, Thanks a million for the come back. Turns out it is a Hooker 14lbs Anchor (similar style but not near the quality of a Danforth) with a no name roller that is a knock off of the Windline URM-2. The concern is the flukes are within an inch of the hull stem. The solution may very well be...

My factory installed danforth anchor /windlass is close to the bow that with the slightest impact it is going to do gel damage. Any suggestions on how to either protect the bow or easily extend the anchor away from the bow

Fred, Thanks a million for your chart. I am new to this world and I am planning on spending a fair amount of time in the San Juans this summer. Your chart is a real eye opener to the kind of territory that can be covered in a single day.

Les & Charlie, Thanks for your input. They worked fine before the tune up so I am hoping a simple adjustment will work. I did a visual on them to today. The number of exposed threads is equal on both of them and there is room for adjustment. I going to wait until I take it out again to both...

I just took my 22ft twin honda 40 out after having it tuned at the factory. The throttle controls at the helm when lined up evenly are at different rpms. (Off by 200- 300) Is there a simple adjustment for this or will I need to trail it back to the factory.
