Moe/Christy, I have a 2003 Cat 18 and it has a newer switch panel than the ones I have seen on older year models. Mine has the top 5 switches already wired....
I am just wondering what the market is like ? I don't find many of these boats on the market so its kind of hard to figure out what they should cost. I...
To wrap this up, I was wrong. Our '99 isn't like Erik's '93 was before his mod, where the "Bow" light switch controls the red/green bow light and "Running"...
When I was looking for a boat, I was sure I wanted a Precision 18 or Oday 192. I'd ruled out the West Wight Potter, because they are just too ugly. Style has...
Hi Greg, The Sailor's Tailor specializes in sail boat covers. I see on their web site that they make trailering and mooring covers for the C22 and up. I...
hello everyone! first - i would like to thank all the people that responded to my "transducer" question last week. now, for the next question. i was in the...
Don't be surprised. I have a new C-18 and I had to put on a couple of deck cleats and guess what? I found several bolts behind the cabin insert flange where...
I have a Honda 5 hp on my capri 18 right now. I like the motor, but it's heavy. I happen to have a Johnson Colt that is 2HP 2 stroke, with a built in tank,...
Steve, I have been using a 2.5 Honda 4 stroker for 16 years now and never have had a problem. It's slow going, but it gets you there. I trailer and it's so...
I have a honda 2hp 4 stroke on my c18. It has long shaft and centrifical clutch. I have had good results and recommend for this bait. Fair winds Allen ... with...
darn - that's hard to believe! it will be interesting to see how many other owners reply with similar situations. i think there is some paint or gel coat (or...
Some advice. If you don't absolutely have to remove the foam from their covers, don't do it. I looked like an episode of Lucille Ball this morning wrestling...
I just bought a used whisker pole for my boat. Has anyone used a pole with the 135 or 150 genoa? I'm assuming the factory padeye on the front of the mast is...
Dave, I have an older 18, a 1989 model, and the factory installed padeye works fine with my 135% and whisker pole. Russ and Jane Browne "Spindrift" Capri 18 ...
Dave, My 2003 C18 that I bought used did not have a whisker pole. I used my old pole from my O’Day 25 and I am using the same Forespar 6 to 12 feet ...
Well guys (and gals if any), That was QUICK, I very much liked some of the replies that I got back and especially the one with the prices that they have been ...
My boat trailered ok on the way home, it had a tendency to sway a little, it actually towed nice and straight but would sway a little when I changed lanes or...
Mike, Trailer sway is NOT the nature of single-axle trailers. It's almost always a result of the center of mass being too far aft with respect to the axle(s),...
Mike, The 1" stainless steel bolt that you see just behind the battery is indeed a keel bolt. It is designed to be used with a 4 ' long 1" -8 thread steel rod ...
... Don't even think about it, Russ. Having had the hatch rails off, I can tell you the screws coming up from below barely penetrate into them. ... I'd feel a...
... I would love something like this but I really doubt that the boat would be that well balanced after it left the factory and "stuff" gets put on. I am sure...
I tow with a Toyota RAV4 2WD and have a slight sway also. Because of the size of my tow vehicle I keep the speed down (60 mph max). The tongue weight on my...
Hey Moe and Barb, I just got back from a 1 week live aboard "instant bareboater" class (ASA 101,103,104) so I've been missing the action here. We sailed from...
My C18's TrailRite trailer had Dexter electric brakes installed by the previous owner. He also threw in the DrawTite controller with the sale. I use simple...
Welcome back, Dominic, and congratulations on your bareboat course. The trailer sailors in our USPS squadron usually do a North Channel cruise, separate from...
Moe, Thanks for the feedback on the board/metal bracket idea of stabilizing the lifting rod. I was wondering how strong the hatch board groove was. It probably...
Mike, I have a Rav 4 as well as was going to attempt to use it to pull my C18 out of the water for the first time this weekend (I bought it already in the...
