Does anyone have any info re height,width, LOA of a C-Dory 22 cruiser on a double axel King Trailer? The boat has twin Honda 40 HP O/Bs. I have a prospective overseas buyer who interested in my boat. HELP! Thanks Ted

Thank you Ted

How do I go about posting my boat for sale? I am not very good with computers and I do not see where I can do this. Please help me Thanks Ted J

Hi everyone: I have previously had water in the fuel problems when we had to use ethanol-laced gasoline. The tanks were professionally cleaned and now I have only Ethanol free fuel. I do not want further problems, therefore how do I know if my fuel tanks are full enough to circumvent water...

Hi everyone: A note of thanks to all who responded to my posting. I have twin Honda 40 HP on my c-dory 22 cruiser. I have had water in the fuel problems of sufficient magnitude to require carb rebuilding. I have a Racor water separator/filters between the fuel and engines. When I squeeze the...

This is likely a dumb question since I know next to nothing about OB engines.As do all OB's on C-Dorys there is /are water separator(s) installed aft of the engine(s). I have had ( and may continue to have), water-in-the-fuel problems. My question is related to the separators. How does one know...

Hi everyone. I have a prickly problem to relate. About a year ago my starboard 40 HP outboard began shaking while idling, was difficult to keep running at idle speed and would surge at speed. It would be OK at 3000-3500 RPM but above that would go from 4000 to 2500, back up to 3500 and down...

I have been having serious problems with prop failures. After about 50 hours they begin to free-wheel (engines race without cause). My mechanic tells me that this a a prop failure and not an engine problem. I do not do jack-rabbit starts, nor have I hit anything My prop-guy said that the wrong...

Thanks everyone--- really great response to my cry for help. You truly are treasures and I thank you Ted

I spoke with a Honda dealer in Seattle and he said there was no way he knew of that the engine could be flushed while in the water. He was unaware of any fitting as you mentioned. Perehaps he is ill-informed. Will try to reach a factory service rep. Thank you for your suggestion. Much...

My Honda 40 twins have controls coming out of transom , port and starboard via accordian "boots". These boots are only2.5 years old and are disintegrating!! It seems as though everything will need to be dissasembled in order to replace. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this easily without...

My boat is in the water all the time. Salt water. Honda says the engines should have a fresh water rinse each time it used. How in heck can that be done without hauling the boat out each time? Is there some attachment somewhere that I am unaware of? Help!! Ted

I used that stuff 20 years ago and unless the formula has been changed I would not use it. I put it on the bottom of my Trimaran, (29ft Piver ) and within 6 months the bottom was totally covered with critters!!. Maybe it will be better with a trailerable boat not in the water all the time Ted J

What is needed to tow a CD 22 Cruiser? I keep it in the water at Brownsville Marina (WA) all the time but will need to rent a truck/vehicle twice yearly to take my boat to a CD 22/ Honda dealer for service. Suggestions
