could sure use some advice here. I've had my 21cc for about fifteen years, and just (finally) put it in the water full time in San Diego. So i've been on boats my whole life, and am fairly competent, but im a bit stumped on a bonding issue. My boat has two thru hull fittings, one for the...

Oh man. That Is not a good story. Sorry that really stinks. At least it’s only money/property. Keep your sense of humor! My favorite boating line - “some days you enjoy the show, some days you are the show.” Hang in there!

Thumbs up on this. Ive lived by this method using West Sytems. And, if the crack has opened to the point where it will absorb any significiant amount, I'll cut the epoxy with MEK and let loose...

As always, the replys on this site are much appreciate! They have made me think about what I do have on the boat. My old partner (I bought him out) had the 07 Yamaha installed in 09 and was given all new new instruments, shifter and ignition when the intall was done. Not that the old stuff...

I'm thinking about installing a floscan or lowrance fuel flow unit that tells me what Im burning per hour and keeps track of total gallons burned. I can get the unit and the install for about $700. (I understand that it's not overly difficult but I'd rather pay someone for this one...I'll...

Here is a pic from inside the transom....also, anyone contemplating a similiar rigging operation, keep in mind that what I did here was not in any way sanctioned by Parker Marine. Understandable, their engineering department wished to stay completely out of it.

Ok, here's another picture describing the subject matter or my last post... I will post more. (also, the name of my boat is not a silly play on words, Parker Anne is my nine year old daughters name...

My 21' is off and running. I've been meaning to post more pics but have dropped the ball. I will remember my camera this weekend! Basically, to accommodate lifting, we installed new lifting eyes on the transom (installed right next to the existing eyes which we left in place for porposes of...

Thank you everybody who offered opinions/ideas. This forum sure is great. I'm hooking up with my buddy who owns Rigworks in San Diego on Saturday to figure out the balance point and to put together a template for the bridle. I will make sure to take a bunch of pics of the finished product...

Brent, thanks for your thoughts. I truly appreciate it. I am very intrigued by the "bow sling" concept (link below), as provided from the link you gave me. It would appear that this sling clips onto the bow eye (on the exterior of the hull) and then two lines come up over each exterior side...

Ok, still working. Reviewed a post by Bent Monkey to topic, "Bow lifting eye (Help!)." In a response to the post, BM (not being funny here) offered that he lifted his 23' using a three point bridle (two lines to the stern and one to the bow, all meeting at a single stainless ring slung onto a...

Im back to the drawing board. After numerous inquiries to Parker it looks like the 21' CC is designed to be picked up with a 21' spreader bar that drops verticle lifting lines to the two stern eyes and one bow eye. This is different than, for example, the 21' Boston Whaler that has two pick...

Wind and Dale, thank you for the excellent suggestion. I contacted Robin at Parker and he completely hooked me up with all of the information required. And, my pal at Rigworks in San Diego who is building my bridle called the Parker engineering department for a few clarrifications, and they...

I have a 1994 21' center consule and need to add pick up points to the transum. The bow already has one. I have my boat in a yard with a hoist and will be deploying via hoist with a bridle. (saying adios to the launch ramp) My bridle is made of spectra that could lift a semi, so no worries...
