NICE

HARDEE: Give me a call if you want to talk installation etc of the blue sea stuff I wrote about. 217.720.8927 cell

Excellent dialogue and suggestions. I've been running Blue Sea products since putting together the batteries/charging system on my CD 16 in 2013 and the system has worked flawlessly for five years. I installed this: https://www.bluesea.com/products/7650/A ... Kit_-_120A This ACR monitors my...

THIS IS A GREAT BOAT!

Great dialogue and awesome ideas. Just put two new batteries in my CD22 with great confidence thanks to all of you CBRATERS. After doing my usage budget, I decided on two AGM's, a size 24 for the starting battery, and a size 31 with 105 Amps for the house battery. Installed a BlueSea...

I see in various photos of CD22's that their is a standard rear deck cover made of canvas or sunbrella. My new (to me) CD22 is outfitted with snaps for a cover, (and once had a cover as evidenced by the photos by the previous owner on this site). Does anyone know if there is a company that...

I have a very nice CD16 Angler available located in Springfield, IL. She is advertised withing this site as OPA! Please see link and photos on the left. The full list of features is available under "for sale by owner" herein. Look for the title: NEW! CD16 Angler (1985) in Springfield, IL...

CONCUR ABOUT BLUESEA! Every Bluesea product I have ever installed or used works perfectly. Amazing outfit. Recently installed a new Batterylink ACR/Charger on my new CD22. Unbelievable piece of equipment. Here's the info that I gotta share cuz the stuff just works...

Congrats. You just made a major safety upgrade. Keeping in mind that you will need to hook up the MOB to your throttle assembly kill switch, how about installing the MOB/antannae on the right side of your helm seat with the MOB facing UP? You will need to connect the FOB to the MOB anyway...

Good decision.

Harvey: I would think that the MOB could easily be installed on the right side of the helm seat next to the throttle linkage on your CD22. The MOB only functions to link to the FOB and the antennae extends about 6 out from the back of the MOB. Anywhere near the throttle, either facing up or...

I have been using a FELL for three seasons, and the device works exactly as designed and advertised. Instead of a physical tether, you have a FOB wired into the boats kill switch which shuts the boat off if you A) fall overboard; B) walk away from your boat; C) don't want the boat started...

Thanks SR and Jack. Your comments and guidance are awesome. I dug out one of the bolts out from the 5200 (inside the cabin), and found a SS screw head and a zinc washer staring back at me. I suspect all the rest of the rub rail anchor points are the same. Oh well, guess I'll be busy when it...

Thanks for the sage advice, Doc. Your challenge questions are important, and I will get to the bottom of it all when warmer weather allows. It's in the 30's and 20's here in IL already (and eventually headed to single digits) and this type of repair work can't progress in the cold. I will...

WOW. Fabulous, helpful, superb post. HUGE THANKS. I was headed in the same direction, but had not thought out the details as you have. I am intending to work per your suggestions which seem like common sense, especially since I intend to keep the boat a long time. Obviously, this will be a...

Recently upgraded from a CD16 Angler to a great 2006 CD22 Cruiser. This particular model has a rub-rail attached by bolts and nuts on the inside of the cabin. The bolts are spaced approximately 16" on center along the entire rub rail. On the inside, the factory simply covered the nylock...

Awesome thread.

I concoure with bearnuff, his technique works great when I took off both tanks to clean out the gas. I found that putting the tanks back in was not that hard if you think out of the box. Reversing the whole re-install works better if you don't fight the hoses. I removed the hoses and...

model #22T5400TG2 Elite series with bunkers, not wheel rollers. EOH brakes with discs on all four wheels (this is important: if you get drum brakes you'll have to clean them every few thousand miles, so disc owrks better). I'm towing with a 2012 Ford F150 that has the factory tow package and...
