Thanks, Waypoint, my research points towards the same choice you made. What specific change did you notice by going to stainless props?

I want to buy new propellers for my 22 cruiser. I just repowered with new twin Honda 40’s. I put my old props on the new engines. They are aluminum 3 blade 12/12s. What are other people using for props? Thanks. Pelican

I’ve posted a question on propellers but it’s not showing up. Why?

Thank you, Bob.

I want to replace the dinette on my 2006 22’ cruiser with a new or newer one that has a round center mounted adjustable pole. Any ideas?

I have twin Honda 40’s on my 2006 C Dory transom. The port engine just started giving me trouble when I lift it out of the water. It makes a grinding kind of noise and only comes half-way up. I’m wondering if there’s a place to add hydraulic oil to each lifter ram. The starboard side works...

My wife Vivian and I are heading to Friday Harbor tomorrow from Port Townsend in Salish C. Deep Zoom says the best time to transit Cattle Pass is late afternoon. Anyone have better information? I’m still learning to use Ports and Passes, so Deep Zoom is my go-to resource. This our second summer...

I want Salish C to look her best for the C-Dory get together in Friday Harbor next month. SC is a 2006 22’ cruiser and her gel coat is looking tired. I’ve tried a few commercial polishes applied by hand and the results have been disappointing. Any suggestions for product and buffer tools...

I’m planning to install permatrim tabs to my twin Honda 40 outboards soon, I’d like to hear how people who have them like them and more to the point, if you installed them did you bolt them on or use a marine adhesive. Thanks, Tom

Don’t count on seeing a C-Dory at the Seattle boat show. There weren’t any last year. I called Northwest Marine Industries (nmiboats.com) in Bellingham, who directed me to their biggest local dealer in Mt. Vernon. The response: not enough inventory to supply the demand, and a wait list over a...

We use a 5 gallon bucket with a seat & lid. It fits in the well between the gas tanks. It’s actually too big, but I don’t like porta potties because they’re too small.

My C-Dory is a 22. Any info on new rams would be helpful. I called NW Marine Industries, the builder of C-Dorys in Bellingham and talked to someone in Parts. He told me that a lot of people converted their hydraulic rams to electric and recommended I do the same. Anyone have any experience doing...

Because of a dumb mistake launching my C-Dory I broke both trim tab hydraulic rams off the stern of the boat. Fortunately it was a clean break, so I just need to replace them. Where do I find those? Anyone had to buy a new set of rams before? Thanks, Tom

Griswald, did you replace the switch or the pump?
