Just one thought, Every so often pitch the ratchet tie downs as they get dry rot and die. Don't know if its sun, water or weather but they do die. I usually use them for a lesser role. Quality ratchets are the way to go, spend more get more. The Air Force has real good ones but oh so...

Well today I got in the mail a magazine from Lake Union Sea Ray and do not see C Dory listed. Sea Ray and Whaler seem to be the only brands they mention. Makes one wonder eh! Bob Heselberg Eatonville Wa

Part number for the impeller is Johnson Pump MC97 and on the box the number is 09-810B and try Fisheries Supply in Seattle if you cant find it locally. Bob Heselberg Eatonville Wa

I also have the same problem. Underway on the water I put some liquid soap on the area because soon or later the fuel will get over to the starboard side and finally end up in the trim piece and leach into the water. On the trailer I use a paper towel but wait till I get where I am going...

I guess I should also note why I worked on the wipers at all. When I got the little tug it had the motors mounted in the corner of the windshield and was pretty worthless. Ranger Factory provided me a center wiper and the info to move the wipers to the center of the windshield so I got a nice...

Joe I agree I looked over the site and also stuck out. I thought at the time I had printed it and looked out in the boat and could not find it either. Guess I had bad info but I would bet the instructions in a new box should have the same info. You take the back off the wiper and move pins...

Its been a year but I will hunt around the net and see where I found it Stand by Bob Heselberg Eatonville Wa

I believe AFI has all the info on how the park works and how to wire it on their website. You can change where it ends up however I have failed every time I tried to change it and just bump the power to where I want the wiper to end. Bob Heselberg Eatonville

The Coast Guard uses Ch 14 to talk to bigger vessels and lets each other know where everyone is at and what their speeds and destinations are. I think vessels of a certain size have to be part of the net held by Vessel Control in Seattle. Bob Heselberg Eatonville Wa

I did find fuel for that stove at a better price at Costco in their commercial outlet in Fife Wa but by then I had already pitched my stove over safety issues. The canisters would freeze in cooler weather and then leak. I made a stove to fit in the boat and used standard 16oz propane...

I told him via email to try Williams Oil Filters in Tacoma. One thing for sure Wix filters are not junk toilet paper specials. I think they make filters for a lot of brand names. For the R21 engines I found a lot of other parts would work fine and be a lot less expensive than dealing with...

I can believe no one mentioned the famous church key, ziptop, twist cap or other such devices. Bob Heselberg Eatonville Wa

I did the trip a few weeks ago at 8.1 kt current and never ever want to do that again. Whirlpools as big as the boat and have to admit 30 hp is not enough for that nonsense. I made a error in when I should have gone through. It was one of those days that had a minus 2.5 low tide. Little Tug...

I also had problems with low voltages from a GMC but no problem with the Dodge. I used a piece of wood and a c clamp before I discovered the right part in the trailer package that the dealer gave me. Put it in before you put a load on it. My only problem was my boat has a low cross piece that...

Had it out for a few days on the Snake river, saw a guy in a row boat doing just that from dam to dam and was doing 3.5kt with oars. Then up to Lake Roosevelt and well its very low and if you could launch a boat you would be very afraid of going aground. I passed! Then up to the San Juan's...

Other than fast acting epoxy that someone sells for emergency use I saw a LST repaired in Vietnam with cement. Take lots of bags eh! Bob Heselberg

I have not had that problem due to several things. I don't let it get low because I pack 4 jugs of fuel with me and keep it topped off. Four jugs fit in the back nicely. I got mine from GI Joes and are yellow color. I have had problems on the road with fuel splashing out of the vent and once...

Great bird pictures, very good viewing. Thank you Bob Heselberg Eatonville Wa

On the EC models made in 2006 there was a mid year change and was a mostly smog issue. My serial number 10 had the smog engine so the change was made prior to that. That may be the small change in hp. The older tugs had real small engines if I understand things correctly and like ten hp or...

My guess is someone filed something made of metal and some grit was left behind and the salt air took over. Doctor Bob would know what to use but I would try a wax to seal it after using a cleaner. Bob Heselberg Eatonville Wa
