Hiya! Does anyone have a favorite brand, model, and/or retail source (online or offline) for a depth finder? I'm interested in installing one with a...
hi christy - i am looking at a west marine 2006 catalog - there are 3 models that might work - norcross df1000d (#2568012)- specifically refers to a "glued...

Hey Caldera, how did you make that whisker pole? Is it a boat hook that you "remodeled"? I have been wanting to get a pole, they are just expensive, so if this...
Super Long Link should bring up the Hummingbird depth finder at West Marine. (or just go to West Marine and search on Hummingbird) This is the one I've been...
Hi All; Hummingbird Manual in pdf is at: http://www.humminbird.com/images/PDF/hdr610.pdf You can get the instrument for $79 and change from Google. Not sure...
We recently got a Capri 18 and I love her! But I'm still not completely confident when I'm out with her. We have another boat that's much bigger, much heavier...
I own hull #477 (1994) and do a lot of solo sailing off the California coast down into Mexico, etc. and therefore obviously need an autopilot. I am looking to...
... 25 MPH is not a problem for our boats, one reef and a normal jib and enjoy yourself. Lets not restart this war about capsizing ? (if you are new to the ...
-- I mounted my simrad tp10 to the starboard coaming. It did require a pushrod extension for the extra distance. It's solid and works great in that position. ...
... Read the Shane St. Clair interview (Part 1 and 2) in the Group Files area: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cat18owners/files/ It's in the "Hawaii on a C-18!"...
... Thanks for your quick reply, Steve. Since my posting I happened to look at the amazing photo of St. Claire's C18 surfing down a giant wave on the way to...
I was noticing the mast holder on Jirwin56's photos. Nice job. Although I have the factory mast holder, I like the mid-mast holder shown and was wondering if a...
... The Simrad TP10 auto pilot mounts and pivots with a pin that fits into a brass cup like a thimball. The brass cup is about a half inch diameter. All you...
Thanks for the info earlier about how much wind the C-18 will take...next question...any trick to lowering and raising the mast? Lowered it the other day and...
It all depends on how much help you've got. Not impossible but very difficult alone. With help, tie a ten foot section of line on the forestay. One person on...
Wow - that's a big difference in price! Thanks, Moe, for the full compilation of pertinent info! I had planned to search through the archives re the tranducer...
Wow - that *is* a nice one. I don't relish the installation part. May need to hire an able-bodied (and -minded) man for the job. :-) Oh gosh - sorry that I...
A couple of thoughts about raising the mast. First, the only real trick about raising the mast os to do so WITHOUT bending the turnbuckles!!! There is a photo...
Yes, the upper/lower shroud turnbuckle toggles do need to be secured in a full-upright position. But going on what I said before: whether you raise/lower your...
Again, thanks Steve for your information. It sounds like you mounted yours on the top of the coaming, so that the "thimble" was in the vertical position, and...
If you've got that transom support bracket high enough that helps keep the weight forward enough I don't believe it trys to flip up as bad. At least that is...
- Hi Rob; The TP10 snaps off quickly at the tiller end for manual steering, while it stays in place at the coaming end. Then snaps back on when you want to...
Thanks so much for your quick and very helpful answers! Good idea to just run the power wire into the starboard locker to avoid drilling another hole in the...
I sail offshore out of San Diego quite a bit and anchor periodically to fish. I am many times reluctant, when the waves are up, to clamber forward and drop...
