Rod is quite right about the wire size for it is one of the most critical electrical installation issues. There are other factors that also relate to the capability of the power source available to the WALLAS. Is the battery fully charged and how new is it? Is the power source (battery...

Simple answer - When the glow plug turns off (somewhere about 3 minutes after start) there is less power drawn by the unit and thus the voltage increases so the fan will speed up. Art

The demands here in the Lower Chesapeake Bay is a lot different than in the PNW area as I see it, so I can't address the confines described. I do have the older RayMarine C80 Chart Plotter with the 4KW RADAR & 6001 S1G autopilot and the GARMIN 6001 chart plotter, i.e., 2 GPS systems. I do...

Joe; DEW Line?? OH, yes. I do remember it and how much older I am now from those days. As to the question of the RADAR antenna size, I liken it to not the power it can handle(which is a factor), but more to the bearing resolution. The bearing resolution (antenna transmitted beam width) is...

Here I go with an old topic - - - - - It is that time of year to replace the K-1 I did not use in the CD25. I have abt 3qts left from the season. I have what looks like 6qts of good K-1 here at home that I'll place in the spare tank. I have looked for KLEEN HEAT since 2005 here in he Va...

As many C-Dories as are out there, there are also opinions as what is best; from colors to options, thus its strength. After stating the obvious earlier here, just a thought of a subtle 'safety' item. If and when the camper back is offered, include a full width zipper running close to the...

AH Yes, Boris, Aren't changes just grand???? Art

Boris, You are right about SEA ANGEL's manufacture. I ordered it in June, 2004. It went into the molds in July, 2004. It was the first manufactured done after a move into a newer location. It was shipped in Sept.2004 to CUTTER Marine in MD., though I did have its power and electronics rigged...

Here is a change I did to SEA ANGEL to minimize the intrusion of water thru the scuppers; http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_ ... _photo.php This was added after we did a rescue of some jet-skiers(4) who wanted to hang out in the cockpit as we set a tow for their craft. We had to get...

A Men, Harvey. :thup :thup :) :) Art

Gerry, You have expressed my thoughts and heart. I think I have been trying to talk myself out of keeping Sea Angel to satisfy my mind and not my heart. I guess you don't boat for over 60 years and not have a twinge. There are regrets of waters not traveled, but I'm blessed by the memories I...

Gerry; Thanks for your kind offer. Now that you have the link to Sea Angle's album you may want to view the options I added to see how they may apply to your needs and wants. Have a happy Halloween. Art

Hi Gerry; Can't say I had a 2014 season, yet. I have spinal issues that give me pause abt being on the boat. Mainly if I have to go forward I don't trust myself to keep from falling since I had that happen once before at home. I always wear a PFD so that would not be too much of an issue by...

Hi Gerry; I realize this may be well after the fact but here is a link to what Sea Angel does to flush the twins. It saves me half the time. http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_ ... _album.php Art

Neal; So sorry for your loss. Jan and I send our prayers up for you. Embrace those memories that you and Jeanne shared. We also have some wonderfully shared memories of Jeanne during Steve and Joan's dinners for the NC-VA loop and the ice cream/cookouts at the NC Visitor Center. Blessing and...

Hi Dan; Welcome to the sight. You did not indicate what and how you wish to use the C-Dory and the size you are thinking about. These items will open a more informed response to your search. We all look forward to helping each other here; especially someone new. Art

Neal; Glad to hear that you and the boat are OK. What brand and how old is the trailer? Art

I was a slow learner when it came to my camper back. I relied on my 'canvas guy'. He used all the original snaps so more would not have to added and the optional cockpit cover would still mount without confusion. It took me several years before I finally had a zipper set added to the original...

HONDA Water Pressure Gauge Set

On Sea Angel I used the 'Dry Deck' in the cabin and covered it with carpet followed by a 2'x6' runner. It sure makes it easy to 'shake out' the collective 'dirt'. Both the carpet and runner were scraps with the carpet cut to fit, just as the 'Dry Deck' was.. (No mildew on the either after 9...
