I started construction on a tackle organizer on the aft cabinet in my 25. It has space for 4 tackle trays and a bin behind it for bigger things. I'm going to keep working on it over the winter. I'd like to add slides to separate the trays so it's easier to get the bottom ones out. There is space...

Last winter I blew out all the fresh water lines with an air compressor and then ran RV anti-freeze into all the lines. I'm getting ready to winterize again soon. I was wondering if I really need the antifreeze if I'm blowing all the water out? It took several trips last year for the bad taste...

You're not kidding about a few dollars. I took a 30 hr class and Progressive knocked off $7. Now I can't decide whether to buy 1.5 gallons at the fuel dock or a few stainless steel screws with the refund check :shock: One reason I went with Progressive was that they offered an agreed value...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll probably be able to use the window screws across the front. Along the port side I want to tuck it underneath and out of view. Those weld-mounts seem like a good idea, looks easier than trying to maneuver a drill under there. I see Marinco has a similar...

I'm going to run a vga cable from the helm to the aft port cabinet on my 25. I bought nylon cable clamps and #8 - 1/4 stainless steel screws. My question is about the thickness of the fiberglass under the forward windows and under the port walk-step. How thick is the fiberglass in these areas...

The 25 Cruiser is plenty big for me (6'2" also). Slept ~20 nights on it my first season last year. If you're solo you can just sleep down the middle or if there's two then at an angle. I actually preferred to fold the table down and sleep there too. The cabin is more than tall enough. As Jim...

Not trying be contentious Bob, you always provide sound advice. However, in this case I'd be more concerned about someone not familiar with marine electrical systems trying to jury rig an electric heater than I would be about using a big buddy for a night or two. Everyone has different levels of...

Since it sounds like you just need a temporary solution another option is one of the Mr. Heater portable propane heaters. http://www.mrheater.com/ProductFamily.aspx?catid=41 These can be used inside a cabin. They make a few different sizes so I'm not sure which model you want to heat the 22...

Wow this is eerie. I used Wikipedia earlier today to look up info about the Fresnel lens for a completely different reason. Then I stopped by C-brats and saw this.

Do you have the vertical windlass version? I definitely don't want to be opening the locker hatch to spread the rode out on a regular basis.

Anyone know what the capacity is for the bow locker on a 25 cruiser? I'm looking to replace the anchor rode on my 25 cruiser with a new one. I have a Simpson-Lawrence Horizon 600 horizontal windlass, so I believe I need to use 1/2" 3 strand. I hope that I'll be able to fit 500-600' of rode so...

That's great Garmin can send you the update. If you didn't have a datacard already then programming it yourself probably isn't worth it. The cards are expensive online. I had one of them from a previous update so for me doing it myself was the cheaper route. Did you end up getting the card...

It sounds like you have everything you need to do the update now Sunbeam. I was able to update my 3210 last summer by downloading the software update from Garmin and using the datacard method to transfer to the device. Here are the steps from their website after you get to the update page for...

I'm in the process of winterizing my boat. Thanks to all the brats who have shared their winterizing tips, it has really helped. One thing I didn't see covered was whether to run my outboards after doing the oil/filter and fuel filter changes. Do I want to run the motors so they fill up or...

Thanks for the replies. My cooler rack keeps me from raising one motor easily which is why I asked. Doesn't sound like it will be a problem to leave it lowered.
