I upgraded the older Garmin on my current boat with the new FURUNO FCV 627 with bottom discrimination mode last spring. I spoke with the Furuno tech that did the testing on it here in Puget Sound before I purchased it and was sold. We used it all of last season and it was spot on in...

My thru hull fitting on my 05 22' cruiser is located as in the picture and was installed at the factory. We fish the boat in sloppy seas in the straits and ocean.It has always been wet under the cabinet. I scratched my head and ran towels under there for a VERY long time. I also tried applying a...

We made our first time tuna trip on Friday with our 24 Osprey and found fish 31 miles a little SW once we hit 59.5 degrees. Ended up with 14 on the troll and very pleased. Flat ocean awesome experience. Could have made the run with the dory and would have spent far less in fuel. Thanks to Roger...

I just wanted to share an incident in which my CO2 detector went off on this past Saturday. I have a basic hardware store First Alert model says BRK CO -400 that I probably spent less than $20 on a couple of years ago. It is mounted on the cabinet door under the helm seat. Saturday I changed...

I had heard a couple of weeks ago from a dealer that sells another line that triton produced that they had closed again. I inquired about any boat show orders they had taken and from what I was made to understand they were working to fulfill those but kind of in limbo. Sounded like maybe a new...

Thought I would share my input on the 22 Cruiser with regards to towing and fishing. We have had our 2005 22 Cruiser with twin Honda 50's for seven years and it has 1000 plus hours of fishing time on the meters. We run two downriggers and troll with one motor .The deck is adequate for two...

I to experienced the pinhole problem in the cabin last Feb. when I took delivery of my new 22.Very frusrating and I can sympathize with those of you having this same problem.It took me a while to figure out where the water was coming in until I discovered the flashlight trick in the cabin.No...

I will throw my non technical two cents in here. I have about 75 hours on my 2005 twin Honda 50's and no complaints so far. With a passenger load of 500 lbs I normally cruise @ 4100- 4500 RPMs in most conditions utilizing the trim tabs. I frequently run @ the 1000 lb. capacity and find I am then...
