Another possible solution could be to adjust the steering trim tab located on bottom side of cavitation plate just above the prop. This can make a big difference in how a boat steers. If it is adjusted to far to one side it could be overloading the pump. Make very small adjustments to this...

Was your Gal. jug US or Imperial? A US gal. measures 3.78 liters and an Imperial gal. measures 4.54 liters. I was using gallon milk jugs filled to the top, and that would be US Gallons. I would think any vehicle/vessel that was made / sold in US would have all liquid capacities measured in US...

A few years ago I completely drained our water Tank on our 2004 C-Dory 22 cruiser. I then filled it one gallon at a time using one gallon jugs for the purpose of marking graduation lines on the clear vent tube so that we would be able to have an idea of the water tank level while on longer...

Here is an interesting article on travel to Princess Louisa. There are many experienced hands signed up for this trip but others that have not been there might find this helpful. https://salishseapilot.com/princess-lou ... 2023-04-07 We went there in 2019 and it was well worth the trip. Wish we...

I installed a fresh water wash down on our 22. Nice to have but it is amazing how fast it emptied the water tank. for the purpose of cleaning boat after fishing it didn't work out well for us since no access to refill water tank where we fish. I ended up taking it off and it is sitting on a...

I can tell you that we have been running 100' of chain on our 22 cruiser for quite a few years as well as 175' of three strand. The boat handles quit well with the weight. We have permatrim and trim tabs. and we have encountered very rough seas crossing the Juan De Fuca Strait, the Georgia...

I had to take my 2200 in for both recalls. Ive never had a problem with it other than that. the extra 200 watts gives the extra bit it needs to run the AC on my Travel Trailer after I installed a soft start on the AC. Never used it on the boat. It is obvious that these aren't intended for use on...

Just run and new + wire (red) from the hot side of the wiper switch on the DC panel to the + side of the wiper except interrupt that new wire with a push button placed in a convenient place. I have also done this. Original on/off wiper switches are left in place and I spliced in what is known...

No More Scraping Barnacles

First time Bottom Paint from Bitter End Boat Works

The Red boat is doing great. Just brought it home from Bitter End Boatworks with first time bottom paint, so no more scraping barnacles. Any regrets should be relieved, knowing that we were allowed one of the best investments of our lives. Sounds like you just made another great investment...

Looking forward to all the changes. Sounds Exciting! It's a great forum. Thanks for keeping things going!

I was just going to ask if that was you Phil.

On our 22 cruiser I installed this seat at the Helm. https://tempress.com/store/ProBax-Ortho ... -p95075250 I liked it so much that I installed 2 more. No armrests, but a huge improvement over the original seats. You can see more photos in our album on third page. These are a good quality for...

My son's subaru will drain the battery in a short time if the keys are left in the ignition and that is with the keys just inserted and not turning them at all.

Our 2004 Honda 90HP had relatively low hours, but was starting to have some corrosion issues. We did not want to have problems while cruising hundreds of miles from home, so we decided to repower while we could still get something for the Honda on trade. While another Honda would probably have...

Big thanks to Both Will and Tyboo. This site is a great resource not only to C-Dory owners, but to all boaters. Our tip is in the jar.

I have experienced the same thing. A few years ago I had a local shop replace the brake calipers and pads because I was recovering from some surgery. When I recently serviced the bearings I found that a pad was missing. when I inspected the other pads I found a couple more that separated by...

In my Experience with salt water trailers it seems that once they are dipped in the salt they begin self destructing. you can slow it down by fresh water rinse and salt away and it is best to do so. Another step that I have found to be helpful is to take the trailer for a drive after rinsing and...
