Over 2500 hours on the Honda 150's and the liquid tie bar is still working well. If the motors get out of alignment I simply raise the motors and turn them to one side. I then rotate the alignment valve and the both engines align back up and I turn the valve back to its original position. This...

You nailed it! :wink

You are so right! With the 24/7 bickering in the news and on the street, a little humor is good for the soul :thup

Sounds clear as mud to me :shock: On my Tomcat 255 the starboard Honda 150 consistently uses more fuel than the port counter-rotating motor. Best guess is an average of 10% fuel usage. As a long time pilot I prefer to match engine RPM's over fuel flow. Do you not sometimes hear slight...

One of my all time favorite marinas is Alton Marina in Alton Illinois. Their transient fee is $1.30 per foot with a 30 foot minimum. I thought it was every bit worth the $39 per night fee. Given your frustration with Brunswick slip prices I suggest staying away from the Florida Keys in the...

I think how the generator will be used should be a major consideration. If you only run 'lights' in a saltwater environment I would definitely go the cheaper route. If you, or your neighbors, enjoy quiet than more $$$ in sound dampening is better. If you will also be using sine-wave sensitive...

Hi Pat, We really enjoyed reading your 'loop' adventure blog! FWIW- I was the head of warranty for a very high end RV manufacturer that used Detroit Diesel, Caterpillar and Cummins engines. None of the manufacturing engineers recommended additives and in fact discouraged their use in any...

I finally gave up on cleaning white fenders and went to black fenders. Problem solved :D

Sounds good to me John Clark

Hi Mark- Not to high-jack your thread but I want to thank you for forgetting the link on your first post. In my typical 'could-not-wait-mode' I did a search for induction stove tops. I found a Duxtop RV portable induction cook top that seems perfect for my C-Dory counter as an addition to the...

Dr Bob nailed it! I too have had very good luck with Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) marine batteries from Sam's (Duracell?) I especially like AGM for price, mounting options (any angle but upside down) and long term cleanliness (no acid buildup). I am also an RC airplane fan and still a little...

From the C-Brats forum index "General Chat This is the place! Come on in, make new friends, or kick back and share the fun with old ones. No rules - Just Be Nice!" :)

I missed the C-Brat thirty minute edit policy but Walmart just changed their grocery pickup policy allowing you to ask the delivery person to sign the hand held receipt device for you. It also asks that you not get out of your vehicle to help load groceries. In other words a means to get...

Fridge is full, freezer is full, pantry is full, and more than a months worth of toilet paper.....Life is good. C-Dory and truck are full of gas, so boating and country drives are still a go. We consider Corvid 19 and cheap gas just another excuse to do more boating and scenic driving. We...

Some people are not shaking hands because of the Coronavirus. I’m not shaking hands because everyone is out of toilet paper.

UK Virus ALERT The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent virus threat and have therefore raised their threat level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, level may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.”The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in...

I cut a 14" square hole in my 2007 model and installed a 50 lb roof a/c. Cutting and installing required over 250 lbs. of center loading on the roof, and there was no problem. That was over 4 years ago and still no problems in flexing or standing on the roof to wash and wax. I was also very...
