Beautiful day on the Kobuk River!

Hunting on Kobuk River. Onion Portage area...

I'm proud to still be at the top of the map! Luckily no one in Barrow, AK has bought a CDory and taken the top spot... Ice is still here for a while... -Matt ...Kotzebue, AK

Thanks for the reply... I was hoping to hear back from C-Dory too but no word yet. I was told by one source that a 28' cable was needed but that seems a bit too long to me...

Folks, Does anyone know the proper shift/control cable length for a CD22 Cruiser? I am looking into replacing my 1996 cables but would rather not guesstimate (ours is still under a couple feet of snow...). My estimate is 20' but I don't want to come up too short. Thanks... -Matt Kotzebue, AK

I see you posted this about a month ago but I thought I'd respond anyway as I don't have a dealer close by either (Nome, Alaska is closest). I have a maintenance manual for a smaller size Honda and they recommend removing the spark plugs to more easily align the "T" marks. Hope you tried this...
