My bilge pump discharge hose has totally disintegrated. As you know it runs from the pump behind the port fuel tank to two discharge fittings on the port side of the hull. Is there any way to replace the hose without removing the fuel tank? Do those discharge fittings (stainless or chrome)remove...

First opportunity to get Placid C out this spring. We are planning a week at Fontana Lake beginning Tuesday. Today I was cleaning out the boat and decided to crank her up (Honda 90 carbs) just to make sure everything was in working order. Put the muffs on the engine intake as always, turned the...

There has been some discussion of this issue in other threads and some of the problem vehicles are those we use to tow our boats. The current edition of Car and Driver Magazine had an interesting and relevant article concerning the unintended acceleration issue. They tested a V-6 Camry (subject...

This is the neatest Christmas gift. It was painted by my multi-talented and beautiful business partner Lisy Thomas.

Fellow Brats, I just received a full boat cover from Angola Canvas (Indiana). This is the first winter with the boat which sits outside. We live at 5,000 feet elevation and usually get over 100 inches of snow. The material of the cover is Aqulon which is lighter than Sunbrella and less prone to...

We were in the saddle 12 hours yesterday from Western NC to Welaka, FL. We are staying at the Welaka Lodge and Resort in a river side cottage. I learned of this place from fellow C-Brat, Smittypaddler, who spends several weeks here in the early spring each recent year. We were here a week last...

After lurking on this great site for over two years, renting Marc Grove's 25 Cruse Ship for five days, following the ads, and more recently attempting to deal with the financial market setbacks we finally have a CD 22 Cruiser. The deal was closed on Monday when we completed the purchase and...

Does anyone know if it will be there?
