My boat just popped a bow rivet and I noticed the end cap missing. Anybody have a lead on a replacement end cap She's a 2000 model.

I need to replace my fuel pick-up tubes. Tanks are the standard 20 gallon on a 2000 model. All I can find are the West Marine Attwood brand tubes that are kinda pricy for the 24" to get cut down to 15". One reviewer posted that his tubes slipped off and left him dead in the water. Not what I...

Does anyone have a source/part number for the Perko NAV (green) light lens? I have a cracked lens and can't find any number on the lens. I found the whole light for $156. OUCH!

I have my carbs off doing a cleaning. As near as I can tell the only difference between the 80 and 100 h.p. engine are three parts in each carb. The jet, jet needle and the main jet. The valves and cams are the same on both versions. Total cost for parts to convert 4 carbs is about $180...

I saw a small add in a magazine about these portable pumps under the "Rule" brand. They say they are good for salt/fresh water and even diesel fuel transfer. For washing down the deck or to shower with. Can be dropped over the side to pump whatever water your floating in. With aligator clips...

I read where Bar Keepers Friend works wonders on the colored strip on the boat. I need to remove oxidation and water spots. I can't find the stuff locally. http://barkeepersfriend.com/products.htm The website has many products. Powder? Liquid? Which one is everyone using? Thanks.

I have the Teleflex no-feedback cable steer. I can easily push the engine to starboard. This is the same direction the prop torque spins it when I let go of the wheel. When I try to push the engine to port I can't budge it. If I understand this thing it has a clutch type deal that should hold...

I have owned my three "D" cell mag light for close to 25 years. It has traveled the world and seen some ruff duty. This light goes with me everywhere. Aside from being kind of heavy it has held up well. It was high tech back when I bought it... The Krypton bulb seems to zap a set of batteries...

I am making a roof rack for a CD22. Nothing fancy, just some pine. I am wondering about waterproofing? Will Thompsons water seal be good enough? Or should I invest in some other type of wood sealer? The boat is usually stored under a boat port when not being used. Thanks for the wood expert...

I am interested in powering a small microwave. Is anyone using the 1000 watt generators for this? If so, does it work on full power or do you use reduced power setting? I like the compact size and weight of the 1000 and could find room for one aboard if it would run the oven. Or would I be...

I finally installed the M120 trim tabs. Haven't tried them yet. Need to fab the kicker mount that I believe was drawn up by Tyboo. Local machinist is looking for a peice of 1/8 inch stainless. Will this be thick enough? Any recommendations on material? My kicker is a yamaha 4 stroke 15H.P...

I finally got trim tabs and was doing the install. I was going to remove the swim step and notch a hole so the top cylinder mount could be attatched directly to the stern. After removing all bolts the swim step won't budge. I am sure it has some 5200 holding it on. I used a board and a floor...

Can anyone report on radial tire experiences? I have a tandem trailer that I have put several thousand miles on and the prior owner had too as he pulled it up and down the east coast between Florida and Cape Cod several times. Two bias-ply tires are Tow-Master and two are Nanco. They seam like...

For those that have made the sliding cover over the fuse panel: Did you screw thru the wood slides to the back of the bulkhead?? Or use good ol 5200 super stick? Thanks...

Does anyone use the white RV hose to fill the water tank? I guess it cuts down on mold and bacteria. For dockside is the 25ft length enough? Or should I drag a full 50ft around?

Has anybody used the electronic shocking watch for motion sickness? My wife suffers from both car and boat motion. The pills are ok but must be taken in advance. The worst part is the drowziness. She can't stay awake. Knocks her right out. Any suggestions on the watch or patch or any...

I just waxed the boat. I have used Meguiar's wax on my truck with great results. Rubs and buffs easy with little wax residue powder. Well when I used it on the boat I have a very hard time getting it to rub off. Does anyone have a favorite wax recommendation?

I was passing by Three Rivers Marine last week and had to settle for peekin thru the fence as it was Sunday/closed. I saw a CD-25 with a squared off stern. (No motor well) and a nice Honda 200 H.P hangin on a bracket. The cabin seemed to be taller than the normal CD-25 sitting next to it. Is...
