    New to us 1990 22 Cruiser

    That was my normal cruising RPM. It should open up much more. I only openned it up once and not WOT. I never had any problems with speed and the motor checked out fine with the last service. Don't know what to tell you. Happy Cruising.

    Replacing Window Gaskets On Older C-Dorys

    I ordered replacement gaskets from American Marine Products, www.americanmarine.com. I ordered gasket number TP-240. I measured and ordered 53 feet for my 1990 22ft Cruiser adding a little extra to the order. They charged me 1.25/ft plus SH totaling $82.11. The old gasket and new gasket have...

    Outboard Choice, 2010

    I would go Evinrude ETEC. Because it's at least 100 pounds lighter, less maintenance, efficient, less moving parts and reliable. My new 90HP ETEC has a first maintenance schedule of 3 years. If your in the north and need to winterize it's all done automatic. But the big thing that sold me...

    Black Mold

    This was a wet spring and summer. The battery compartment on my 1990 Cruiser is full of Mold. Also in the battery compartment is electrical wires and the fuel fill hose. The bottom of the compartment is open in the back and my fuel tank is below the compartment. Now, how do I get rid of...

    Looking for advice/suggestions

    Yes, I now have canvas on my boat when on the mooring. This helps about 90% of the time. When I get heavy, wind blown rain, I still get water in the cockpit. That's not the issue. The issue is that is something to concider up front before you buy. My canvas is for storage and no cruising...

    Looking for advice/suggestions

    I noticed someone suggested a boat lift. Not practical where you are I believe because you have high tidal differences. I had a boat lift in Maryland that was great but we only had a two foot tide. I would love to have one here in Maine but we have a ten foot tide and icebergs in the winter.

    Looking for advice/suggestions

    I would go with either a 19 foot or 22 foot Angler. The Angler has more cockpit room for provisions. HOWEVER! One problem with C-Dory's is there is no floor on 22 foot and smaller. Your standing on the inside of the hull. No raised, skuppered floor. Therefore you will have wet feet from...

    Operating In Heavy Current

    I run my boat in the Piscataqua River, Between Maine and New Hampshire, all of the time. This river has a very high current. I have a 1990 22 foot C-Dory Cruiser. My boat was equiped with a 1990 70 HP Johnson with the original prop. All purchased as a package in 1990. This current bounces...

    Replacing Window Gaskets On Older C-Dorys

    Azul, CDory has changed window manufacturers. The older window frames are plain aluminum frames while the newer windows are all white painted aluminum frames. I replaced my center front window a couple years ago with one that opens. The new window has corners that a more round and not as...
