Amazing! I will look into it today! Thanks for the tip.

Last note, I failed to mention I have a new Merc CT 15 kicker as well as a group 24 starter and a group 28 agm battery at the stern of Kerri On. I went with the 15hp kicker because it had electric start, plus manual and puts out enough power through the alternator to charge my starter/main...

I totally agree with the comments regarding proper prop size and the issues I was having. Colby straightened me out pretty good last year and I took his advice to the bank. I travel pretty heavy (ice, extra gas, fishing gear etc.) and ended up working with the marina techs. We settled on a...

Hi, I love this blog and wanted to provide some info for those thinking of re- powering their 22’ cruisers. I own a 2010, KeKerrin, and it is my first full-size boat. I realize that a lot of C-Cory owners on this blblogruise and camp out on their boats. I live in HaHaidawGwaiind use mine...

Nice- ok, thanks for the tips guys. I really appreciate it. I am learning fast on the fly out here! 1st boat…I picked up the 68th edition of Chapman Piloting & Seamanship. With luck, someday I will be able to add some tips and help someone out as well!

I took a close look and can see that the calking along the edge of the cockpit and the cabin wall looks suspect. I uploaded a couple of pictures to my album. If I were to redo this seal could I use Sikaflex 291? It’s all that is available up here in the north!

Old calking

Thanks for the input Bob. I will do a detailed inspection to see what I can find. Yes, cockpit the floor inspection plate is about 6” from the cabin door. It was filled with water. There is what looks to be new sealant along the cabin wall that joins the floor however the floor looks to be...

Hi, have a 2010 22’ cruiser and decided to open the small drain plug just under the door. To my surprise, a ton of water started flowing out. I reinstalled the plug and opened the inspection plate on the cockpit floor and there was about 1” of water under the floor. I had noticed the stern was...

Blocking and removal of bunker boards

Hi guys, great advice. I ended up lowering the tongue to the floor, blocked both corners of the transom with 8"x8" blocks with a 14" 2x4 as the contact piece between the bunks. I then built a crate type keel stand out of 8"x 8" blocks and included shims against the side so that the keel sat on...

Nice!!! Thanks for the input guys, this is super helpful. I’ll take a shot at it this morning and send some pics back! There are no gaps in my bunker boards and they roll but I think I may be able to use a block as noted above and then just take the boards off completely as the lags are actually...

It is a bunker trailer. Tandem axle.

Hi, I am a new Cdory owner (first not ever) and I live in Haida Gwaii. I am a total newbie. My wife thinks I am obsessed now- which is true! I am trying to update the bottom paint on Kerri On while it is still on the trailer. I have read all the posts I could find and my plan is to lower the...

Thanks for the feedback Ken! Appreciate it. Beard on the comments here- I’m going to row when I can, but am buying the Suzuki later this week! It doesn’t sound like there is a “perfect fit” out there for an inflatable like the Alaska Series 240, but Seeing as a local shop services and sells...
