Bill you are correct, it is a 25" shaft. There is plenty of lower pick-up in the water... something is getting by the computer scan and not showing a code?

It's a fuel injected 2 cylinder engine, I think I will pull the fuel injectors out and clean them. Never done this before... but thanks to you tube I should be able to accomplish the task. If this works? I guess there is no code or fault for dirty injectors. I remember the old days when you...

I know this is a long shot... but some of you whippersnappers are pretty sharp. I have a 2018 Suzuki DF9.9BTX2 it is used as my kicker and it is a remote installed model, I would be surprised if the engine had 15 hours on it. The problem: The engine will idle sweet, but once you put a load on...

It seems that the hot sun has melted or softened the adhesive on my window latch. I have removed it and cleaned it up ready for reinstall, What is the product of choice for the best long term fix.

Hey CDory23, Sounds like my story, we also had a 2003 22' bought it new sold it 2017 late that year. We use her from the San Juans to Mexico, many 10 day trips to lake powell, had close to 3000 hours on her. Then, I got the itch like you, sold her to a man up your way in Benicia, ordered a...

Yep.... We did that about 10 years ago. Used it to take fresh water showers on the swim step at the end of the day over at San Clemente after a long day of fishing. When I got back to the ramp, if it was busy at the wash down I would just use the tank to wash down the boat and trailer and head...

Fishstix2 I don't know what your Tom Cat is worth? When I owned a C-Dory 22' I tried three or four companies over the 13 years I owned her and they all fell short of my expectations. We bought a new boat for $176.000 plus the cost of trailer $12,000 and pay $867 a year. Stay away from carriers...

Soft Scrub all purpose by Henkel, my go to for fiberglass cleaning

Kingmann, I have had US Boats, Progressive and Geico. While they make it simple and you think your getting a fair price? I decided to give American Marine Insurance a shot (glenn@americanmarineinsurance.com) man was I surprised? Glenn was all over it, better coverage and way less money. I have a...

A few years back we were off Ensenada Mexico, say 60 to 70 miles offshore, We were tuna fishing and done for the day so we shut down the engines and prepared for cocktails and dinner. I remember looking to the west and seeing a flare in the sky... I told the crew and we adjusted the compass to...

Hey Richard, I am not up to speed on the layout of the 19' angler, I looked in your album but no pictures. Here is what I did on my 22' 2003. The boat came with port and starboard Lazarettes (small storage compartments on either side of the engine well) one of them the port side was set up to...

Phil, Very well done! I could sit and watch those pic's all day long. PLEASE keep diving and shooting photos.... Bschell

I have a Yamaha 90 hp engine on the 22' the year of the boat and engine is 2003. I have had no problems with this engine over the 14 years, it has 2000 hours. My wife and I are having a new boat built to be ready in July, my builder just got news over Christmas from Yamaha due to retooling at...

Hey Richard, The thru the deck type of rod holder is what you want for all fishing in my opinion for the bigger tuna or any tuna for that matter, go with the picture Thataway showed you, it is out of the way when not in use. Take the clamp on stuff back or use that on the bow rail?
