Thanks for the pic. I hate to admit it but the reason I asked is that I cut the tubing a bit short on the initial install, not realizing how much travel there is in the tubing. It would have worked but was not right so I ordered a tubing kit to redo it right. Any tricks to filling and bleeding...

Steve, I’ll give you a report when I get mine done. 🙂

Thank you.

I am in the process of upgrading to Baystar Hydraulic steering. I have the helm pump installed and the cylinder mechanism mounted on the Honda 75 hp. Would someone mind sending me a pic of how their tubing is routed and connected to the cylinder in the splashwell on their CD22. Just a pic from...

I am ready to upgrade our ‘99 22’ Cruiser with hydraulic steering. I’ve read the existing threads and am just checking to see if anyone has any updated information as the previous comments are a few years old. I do not intend to add autopilot at this time but may in the future. I read that the...

Just saw this on Craigslist. No interest but wanted to share for someone shopping for a 22’. https://juneau.craigslist.org/boa/d/cra ... 87648.html

We also use the 240 TDS with the 2.5 Suzi. We have the 6hp Tohatsu long shaft mounted on the stern of our 22 without a kicker bracket. I have pondered being able to do double duty with one motor for the kicker and dingy. Unfortunately, the 2.5 Suzi is not adequate as a kicker and the 6 hp...

Good idea Tom. We have often thought it would be nice to have a spot to leave our cdory if we had plans to make multiple trips from Idaho. Probably not this summer but likely in the future. Thanks

That makes good sense Steve. Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom. One of my favorite sayings: “Good judgement comes from experience. Most experience comes from bad judgment”. Ken

I have the same setup as Mike above with the Tohatsu 6hp long shaft as a kicker. I think I got the tie bar from Cabelas and quick attach it whenever using the kicker. I have used the kicker a few times to get to safety. Once when the thermostat stuck and caused the main to overheat and a...

I have removed and replaced the tilt motor on a ‘99 Honda 90. You do not need to remove the motor from the transom but rather remove the max height stop on the motor pivot, then rotate the motor over center into the splash well. From there all off the bolts attaching the tilt motor are...

Harvey. Here is the anchor rode scheme I use that you had asked about. So each 25' increment is red, white, blue. Note that each 100' increment has a black center to indicate 100', 200', etc. The hundreds of feet also is red, white, and blue. I only carry 300' total so the orange warns of...

Anchor rode scheme

Any suggestions on launching and truck/ trailer parking at Campbell River. We are headed to Desolation Sound and plan to launch from there. Thx in advance. Ken

When I get better service I’ll attach a photo of the chart I use for quick reference. 25’, 50’ and 75’ are always red, white and blue respectively. At the 100’ series the painted rode is three feet long so 125’ is 12”Red, 12”Red, 12”Red. 150’ is 12”Red, 12”White, 12”Red. 175’ is Red, Blue, Red...

I went to a system where both chain and rode is color code painted every 25’. Each color is about 12” so it’s very easy to see, particularly when free falling the anchor. 25’-Red, 50’-White, 75’-Blue. At 100’ Red signifies hundreds of feet so 100’- Red, Black, Red. 125’- Red, Red, Red. 150’-...

Peter and Judy, We should still be here and will keep an eye out for you.

Appreciate everyone’s good advice on the BGI. We have spent a week so far and have really enjoyed it. We have been base anchoring in the island clusters and exploring from the dingy. We made a run to Ucluelet yesterday for fuel, water and groceries. Sounds like the local charters and sport...
