Has anyone, on this 01 Mar 2013, considered naming their boat "C-QUESTER"?

One comment which does apply to most battery types, and that is plate sulfation. I recommend using a technology such as "Pulse Tech": I had never heard of this product or technology. Very interesting infomation. For some reason I could not think of "sulfation" term when I was posting the...

The C Dory type of boat tries to keep the systems simple, and cheap. Many of us add on to these systems, based on our past practices and the latest technology. All you said is true concerning more upscale RV's. I did not mention the "battery boost" switch, which both of my RV's have had. I was...

When the battery selector switch is in the #1 position for the starter battery I can still run everything from this battery, including all house items. Similarly, if I put the battery switch over to the #2 position for the house battery I can still run everything. Frankly, this confuses me. I...

1) I have a Jeep Liberty which tows the distances I plan to tow with no problem. It is a good all round vehicle as I tow the Jeep behind my motorhome 25-30K mi/yr, explore off road trails while camping, and need the double-low 4-WD to maneauver my poontoon and CD 22 trailers in soft sand on my...

Also always carry an entire extra set of bearings (two is better). Many of us also carry an extra hub, all ready to bolt on, just in case. We always check the entire system before hitting the road, including cycling thru grease to be sure that there is no water in the bearings. My spare...

Your liberty is, in my opinion, way on the light side to be stopping a brakeless 22, as well as being on the light side in emergencies for stopping a loaded 22, even with working brakes. So, caution and lots of distance between you and the guy in front of you and trailering speeds of about 60...

The trailer itself is nice and tows well, but ... geez. Maybe they've changed - this was last spring and I haven't tried again. I've been calling the actuator mfg: UFP, Mdl a 60. They answered all my questions and referred me to a parts dealer. On-line I entered the part # and found several...

Thanks for all the input. I'm getting an education on boat trailers, for sure. I am about at the point of redoing the whole brake system. I have a bad accuator, brakes on only 1 axel (and it is on the front, not rear axel), I have no idea the condition of the calipers, and I need 4 wheel brakes.

When I purchased my 1999 22CD a couple weeks ago the sale included a 2008 MagicTilt tandum axle trailer with disc brakes on one axle. (not having brakes on all 4 wheels might be another issue in Fla). I sea trialed the boat but did not pull the trailer until I picked up the boat @ 55mi from...

Understandable on why you don't want to say what you used but if you did maybe somebody will learn from your experience on what worked. OK, I'll fess up. The instructions that came with the Permatrim stated that they reccommended 5200 as the best sealer to use. I called Permatrim and the girl...

I thought that since I started this thread, I should report that today I finalized my Permatrim installation. I purchased a 3oz tube of sealant, hoping that it would be sufficient to cover all the mating surface. I applied about 1/3 of the tube and figured that, when the 10 bolts were tightened...

"]My feeling is that you actually do spread out the load on the cavitation plate (anti ventilation plate) which is the weakest point in the equation. I am not aware of any of the Permatrims breaking. However there have been reports of the anti-ventillation plates breaking. The stronger...

bought a new motor and wanted to remove the Permatrim to re-sell the old motor, This thought came to my mind after I posted the question. After reading all the answers before this post, I feel using 4200 would be the best way to go. Unless there is further advice or warnings, I plan to go with...

Yesterday I installed a new Permatrim on my F80 Yahama up to the final step of applying 5200 sealant and tighting the 10ea 1/4in bolts and nuts. The online pix of the install steps that I viewed showed 5200 smeared only around each of the bolt holes between the 2 plates. I was considering...

The replacement rectifier (yes about $240) is much beefier, fits in same location, no problem. Thank you for this info. After everything else I would hate to have had a R/R enroute that would not fit where it is intended to go.

Sunbeam...your recollection is correct...the replacement rectifier is twice as big. Due to the fact that the seller has offered to cover 1/2 the cost of the new R/R, I plan to get the newer version rather consider the used one. Was there a fit problem with the larger deminsions of your...

Every search I did for the 00-00 ending number showed a new number of 12-00. So we can expect to pay about $240 for a new replacement R/R on a Yahama using the above part. I am considering the used part my contact is checking on, if it is in the $30 price range. Hope to hear back tomorrow.

I would be most grateful if you could report back on your findings vis-a-vis this part on the F80 for future reference. The part number for a new R/R for my Yahama F80TLRX is 67F81960-12-00. It is $231.45 online from Yahama parts and $240 from either of two dealers I called. That is double...

Thataway, My wording was a little confusing. I had the battery hooked up all the time. I had charged the battery overnight so it had a full charge and was reading @ 13.5v before starting the engine. With the temp motorscooter R/R hooked up, I started the engine and watched the dash mounted volt...
