If this turns out to be a design or assembly issue, I hope Fluid Motion looks across their complete line of pod mounted outboard boats. There have been several threads on TugNuts discussing the R23 and R27 with water intrusion into the pod and bilge. From everything I have read Fluid Motion is...

Sandy Point State Park is a great place to put in. It only cost a couple dollars to get in and they don’t charge for storage of your rig. It is centrally located for many interesting places to visit: Annapolis, Baltimore, Rock Hall, Chesterton, St. Michaels, Oxford, etc. Also if you like to...

There is also a thread on TugNuts about Active Captain and Garmin. Some of us have tried the new Garmin Nav app but have not been able to transfer charts from purchased chart plotters. My understanding in order to transfer a chart the chart plotter needs to be a 2012 or newer version. Did not...

Donald, As you can see from the responses above the Chesapeake has many interesting places to visit. I have been cruising the Chesapeake since 1955 and have not seen it all. If you would like some company let us know when your plans are set and Suzanne and I will try to meet you somewhere along...

I have not been thru there in a couple years but I would suggest stopping at Fernandina Beach (Fernandina Harbor Marina), Jekyll Island (Jekyll Harbor Marina) and St. Simons Island area (we stayed at Morningstar Marinas at Golden Isles which is one of several marinas in the area). This would...

Jim, 1. Go to marine.honda.com/parts 2. then select service & support 3. then select parts & accessories 4. then select parts 5. plug in your engine serial number or full model number The fuel filter you are talking about is in the Vapor Separator section of the parts and is called "screen...

Bob, There is only one bilge pump on my 22 at the stern. The cabin wall (bulkhead) is glassed to the bilge with about a 3 to 4 inch rise to the cabin door.

Sunbeam, FYI My 2012 22 with the permanent cockpit sole, the low part (with full fuel, two batteries and a Honda 90 at the stern and minimal weight in the bow) is still at the cabin wall. I get about 3/8 to 1/2 inch of water after a rain storm at the cabin wall. The water puddle up against...

Rcbeach will be bringing Baked beans for Friday night and Apple pie for Saturday night

Sunbeam & Bob, thanks for the advice and info. I am going ahead with the additional brakes. I need to look at the best approach $ wise based on the new brakes that were installed last year and determine if my actuator will handle the additional brakes. I had UFP brakes initially which did not...

D.D. You are correct. I was looking at the states I will go thru to get Florida and found that North Carolina & Georgia also have brakes on all wheels requirement. So I guess I have more work to do this winter than I thought. Thanks

All, thanks for the replays. My trailer is a 2012 and has surge disk brakes. The trailer brake performance has been excellent. Braking when trailering dose not seem to require any significant additional pedal pressure even for hard stops. I do have the plates on the trailer rear axle for...

Bob, It is interesting that my trailer is built in Florida (Majic-Tilt) with a GVW of 4660# and only has breaks on the front axle. I read the Florida law and my trailer does not meet the Florida requirements. I have been to Florida with it several times and was planning on going to the St...

In 2012 we purchased our CDory 22 and a Highlander with full tow package to tow it. It has been 4 seasons of towing with short and long distances with no issues. Our normal tow weight for the 22 is about 4600 lbs. Most of our towing is along the east coast form Maryland to the Carolinas and...

I am concerned about the direction of this conversation. The builder/manufacture of a boat should provide specifications on the design of the boat and its capabilities. NMI has done that and has provided a link to the C-Dory website that clearly states the maximum HP for the 22 C-Dory. If you...

Sunbeam, My all up weight was 4400 lbs. My trailer is a Majic Tilt tandem and is aluminum and weighs 660 lbs. When I weighed the rig it had no water, 1/2 tanks fuel and most of the equipment we use for cruising was removed. To come up with the 2850 lbs I weighed the remaining equipment...

I have a 2012 22 Cruiser and I just weighed it this spring after a trip to Florida and had some irregular tire wear. I was told by a trailer dealer it looks like the trailer may be overloaded which is causing the irregular tire wear. I was thinking based on documentation from the CDory...

I am not familiar with the app you mentioned, however Waterway Guide has a free app to locate marinas 5, 10, 50, and 100 miles from your current position. Also you can search for marinas with the services you desire. In addition you can bring up a chart to show where the selected Marina is...

We would be interested in a Chesapeake gathering. Either hanging around a marina for the weekend getting to know folks or a few day cruise. Richard & Suzanne Clagett

On my 2006 16' the pump base had some sort of adhesive (it cured hard and was over the entire base) that held the pump base to the hull. I never replaced the pump so I don't know how much work it would be to remove the base. If it were me, I would pry as much of the base off as I can and then...
