Timcocci, I have a 26 and it is a heavy boat. My tow vehicle is a 2500 Suburban and I would not want any tow vehicle smaller. Years ago, my Suburban was a 1500 series and was truly a dog on the highway, when towing my Mako 23. As to comparison of towing my past C-Dory 22, verses a 26, there is...

Bluegoose, Welcome aboard and as always, feel free to reach out with questions.

D fisher,, This ad has been up for a few weeks and may be a good lead for the Honda tool that you need. https://southjersey.craigslist.org/bpo/ ... 82832.html

Dan, For applications above the water, I use butyl rubber (white 1/8", 3/4" wide) it sticks to itself and rolls like silly putty. No chemicals to damage your skin and easy clean-up. It stays pliable longer than most other, off the shelf products. Tech tip: put the hatch in place, place...

Surveyor1, The answer is straight forward. The float bowel valves are stuck and this is typically the result of fuel turning to varnish, over a long period of time, because of not run the outboard and the engine was not drained of fuel, prior to layup. If you feel confident working on the carbs...

A misaligned insert, will require a new head.

ATPNW, Using a helicoil, or like product is relatively easy. I have repaired spark plug threads in many outboards, with very good results. My toolbox has about a dozen sizes, both metric and standard. Now, the key to success is to follow the instructions to the letter and most importantly, all...

EasyDoesIt, I would recommend not modifying the transom for the extra long shaft, as the transom would then be compromised with a lever arm, well above the designed height. Can you provide a photo of the engine? Maybe a different approach, is to buy the outboard and have the extended spacer...

snhstahl@gmail.com, While looking at the Troy Marine site this morning, I saw you and your boat in a photo. I have seen several others discuss the 70 four stroke Yamaha, for the 22 Cruiser, but never saw any feedback on performance data. When you have the boat loaded for a cruise, including...

Roamad, Do check the tips already suggested. In my past experience, with older, well used mechanical steering systems, when the cable was worn out, the helm steering mechanism was also usually worn, so that a new cable did not improve the slop / and pressure in the system. Also, most newer...

SSOBOL is spot on... The boat hull will move and the aft cabin bulkhead will move, due to normal flexing, while underway, or trailering. On top of this, there is normal expansion and contraction. Your thickened epoxy will last a show while, and then the issue mention above will cause eventual...

Roamad, Do you have push-pull cable steering, or hydraulic steering?

Tinbender, I looked up the Planar site and couldn’t find a reference to a “Planar hot water diesel heater”. Could you elaborate more about this type of water heater?

Lou, Is your boat a Cape Cruiser? Could you post photos to your C-Brat album? On my 26, I have swim platforms, that have pull out ladders, from underneath the platforms.
