I've started up a new Youtube channel fishing and exploring the Pacific. https://youtu.be/a5wtIYb-GP4 Please watch through to the end 10 mins if you have time and give it a thumbs up or down and subscribe. Also, if you could comment in the Youtube comments section, I would greatly appreciate it...

I have a factory installed (as far as I can tell) guest 2621A. It has three sets of charging wires leading out of the beneath the passenger rear seat, when it seems to terminate on the port side battery compartment there are two sets of wires. I would guess the 10amp charging cable is for big...

Here is my first shot at doing a drawing of my C-Dory 25 wiring in order to make improvements.

I've been scoring the search function and found great documentation especially the excel file that @Moose did for his 22. Has anyone done an excel file for a 25 2007 or newer duel engine C-Dory? Lots of great information in the manual but it is nice to be able to add and make changes. The...

I’ve been reading some great threads on batteries and hate to cover stuff that is already covered but here goes. I have a starter and house battery both 27 series and guest 20amp charger. With dual 7 inch Lowrance electronics/autopilot/HP Downriggers when I troll for 3-4 hours with the 9.9 Honda...

Looking at the St Croix 488 rotating davit for mounting one on the gunnel for lifting a dingy onto the roof. I’ve found a set of 2 for sale and would use 1. What does everyone think? Would it work? https://www.davit.com/rotating.html

Just picked up a bunch of tuna gear now watching the weather. I’m looking at going out of Tofino, but in the future maybe WA or OR. I have divers, planers and something I don’t know what they are. Any experts willing to do a FaceTime with me? Would love to chat and figure out how to set up...

Our throttle is very very sticky, so much so we had to turn the engine off, remove the cowling and manually reduce the throttle and it was very stiff. 2007 Honda BF150 with dual binnacle. I can't see any damage to the cable and the binnacle looks very complicated. Anyone replaced their Honda...

Looking for experience shares on throttle kicker control from the rear helm. We have a dual binnacle honda setup with a 9.9 I want to control from the back of the boat where I have a lowrance HDS 7 with autopilot. I'm about to pull the trigger on a Troll Master Pro throttle control, the wired...

Our surveyor has recommended a Manual Diaphragm mounted bilge pump. Has anyone mounted one successfully on a modern 2006 or newer 25 or 22 Cruiser? Or any C-Dory. I found one intake photo but no pictures of the pump mounted in my C-brats search. https://www.westmarine.com/buy/whale-pu ...

Has anyone added rope rail extensions to add a level of safety on their C-dory? Would love some pictures and ideas. My son is 3 and always stands on the step and leans over the sides and wants to venture to bow of the boat. Our daughter is a month old so I imagine she'll want to do the same at...

Victoria BC. Managed to limit out 4 - over 6.5 inch crab each for 4 of us on Sunday morning after 20 hour soak with two traps at 90 feet. A halibut head tied to the bottom of the trap and a little salmon scraps enticed the big boys in. No halibut for 3 trips this year. Salmon closed until...

Is a 12 inch GPS Plotter on a 25 cruiser too big? Have the opportunity to upgrade from a 7 to a 12 but I'm concerned about loosing visibility through the main windshield. I would think a 9 inch one would be a happy medium? Thanks.

I'm looking for someone to tow an empty trailer if you have a hitch and need gas money!

Any tips for putting big fish coolers on the roof? I'm thinking of putting a little padding and then tieing both handles down. Hope to catch our limit this weekend off Bamfield on Vancouver Island.

So we used the top of our camper back top (bimini) last week and it was great. For fishing, when we are catching lots of fish it would just be in the way of rods, nets, gaffs and harpoons. What I was thinking was using zip ties on the stern attachment I could quickly cut them to lean the...

Put our second Halibut in the boat Saturday and it was the Just for the Halibut Derby winner! A fat shorty well under the 125cm limit that weight 61.1 pounds. Salmons closed here in Victoria until July 15th so we'll be out lots. Hope everyone is doing well!

If anyone is in the Gulf Islands this weekend we'll be at the Canada day lamb bake on Saturna Island near Winter Cove. Music, Beer Garden and Lamb on a spit. We're bringing our 1 year old and meeting up with a few other boating families. Hope to see you on the water...

I’m thinking of mounting a second Lowrance HDS gps/fishfinder in the back of the boat and since I will be adding autopilot, using it to steer a little while trolling. Where have mounted a second unit? Thanks for any pictures and suggestions in advance!

We just got the word that Halibut opens in Canada tomorrow. Pulled hearing, salmon bellies and a salmon head out of the freezer and gathering my gear from my old boat to haul down to the dock tomorrow. Any other Canucks heading out? Any pointers on Halibut fishing using an anchor setup off a...
