Last Friday I had the pleasure of meeting Tex (Texasair) while he was in Austin. I purchased a full King Marine camperback canvas set from him (great condition -- Tex thank you!). Anyways, I'd like to install it but I need a frame. I contacted King Marine and they have the frame for $385...

The sliding front window on the starboard side of my 1989 22 ft cruiser is cracked. I looked over past postings for help but I only found two. My question is whether it is possible to remove the glass without removing the frame. I did remove the inner frame (with the square headed bolts) to...

I replaced my fill hoses last season. I disconnected the hose from the tank and bent the stiff hose slightly. This allowed enough of a lever arm to work the hose back and forth at the upper fill connection. Worked for me. BTW - in addition to the expense of the fuel hose, they are a pain to...

Thanks all. I guess the best thing to do is to remove my window and send it off to Motion Windows. It sounds like an easy modification and one that will be well appreciated come next summer. thanks again, Karl

Texasair, Hello to a fellow Texan. I too have a 1989 CD22. Needless to say I have been looking at the opening center window project (especially after last summer). In the past I was a bit concerned over the different sizes. It sounds like your project with Motion Windows went well. Can...

All, I have been wanting to use my Ipad and Itouch as a backup GPS/nav aid. Unfortunately I do not have the 3G IPad and the Itouch does not have gps. However, I came across an external GPS system that plugs into the IPad or Itouch. It is about the size of a quarter and apparently gets good...

All, This might sound like a stupid question but here goes. I have a good dual battery charger on my boat. During the summer I keep my boat on the trailer at my house (we have a lake property that we rent during the busy summer and I boat in the fall and winter months). This summer we have...

All, I was looking through some old material that I got when I bought my C-Dory. I came across the newsprint brochure for the 21 ft Offshore model. I haven't seen one on this site so I figure some people might like to see the ad. Not sure if I got the image posted right but it is in my album...

C-dory 21ft Offshore

It has been well over a 100 degrees in Texas this last week and once again I am envious of all you out there with A/C units. I'm not ready to install a rooftop A/C although that is eventually what I'd like to do. Unfortunately I have a 89 cruiser that doesn't have a center opening window...

Dr. Bob, Thanks for the reply. I really think the NFB will be a huge improvement. My steering has a lot of slop in it and it really will be nice to have steering that doesn't require constant fighting. My main concern was with the clearance of the wheel. I'm sure I can figure out the...

I have a 1989 cruiser and I am planning to replace the steering. As best as I can tell I have the original Morse Command 2 helm. I am leaning towards replacing the steering with a Teleflex NFB 4.2 rotary system. I have read over some of the posts relating to mechanical versus hydraulic but...

Tex, Congratulations on the amazing restoration and projects! I also have an 89 cruiser in Texas. Obviously the center opening window would be very nice down here. I have followed previous threads on replacing the center window and I recall that the fit is a bit different for the older...

I have siphoned manually in the past but got sick of inhaling fumes even when being careful to have a dip to avoid the gas directly. I got a simple hand pump from harbor freight that worked out nicely and it was inexpensive. Here's a link to what I got: http://www.harborfreight.com/multi-use-...

Just got mine ordered and I'm looking forward to it. Thanks Sam. Karl

Reading this thread the only solution that I could think of is this..... http://www.terrawind.com/terrawind.htm Karl

Bob, I am not an active poster but I read the site all the time. I have always been impressed by your thoughtful posts and the deep knowledge you have on all things boating (and otherwise). The number of replies to this post show how many folks have benefited by your wisdom and help. I truly...

Living in a very hot summer environment I am curious about about what is the best chemical deodorizer to use. In the winter I never notice the porta potty but needless to say the tolerance gets a bit lower in 100 degree temperatures.... Thanks, Karl

I need to replace my fuel fill lines. I did a quick look online and noticed several brands (Trident, Shields, Sierra) that differed significantly in price. Also they had different ratings (A1, A2 What is a good quality line that will be okay with ethanol blends? Also any recommendations as...
