    Motor position when trailering.

    I had issues with motor support on the trailer until I bought a Honda tilt control rod. Living in Boise means a lot trailer time, and after leaving a couple of blocks on the road, went to the rod. These worked well on both of our C-Dorys and both equipped with power tilt. On the water, I...

    Quick Release for Table in 16Cruiser

    The C-Squirt also has the same setup with the studs and 3 hand knobs. We also wanted more distance between the back of the table and the seat back. So we moved the table forward and use only the 2 forward studs to secure the table. Then we wanted to improve the stability of the table. So I...

    Trolling speed

    We have a 16 cruiser w/50 Honda and we fish reservoirs w/little to no current. Our GPS indicates a speed of 2.2 to 2.5 mph. We did not want to add a trolling motor, and have a Permatrim, so no trolling plate. Thus we have added a Cabela's drift sock. That got us to 1.5 down to 1.2 depending...

    hour meter

    After looking through the posts, I am not sure if the hour meter on our Honda 50 efi records based on time or if it considers rpm. This is important because we troll quite a bit, a ratio of at least 3 hours trolling to 1 of cruising. Because oil changes are really based on fuel consumption, my...

    Guess what followed me home today?

    Well that explains it. I thought maybe I missed something that could have provided more headroom. I had a local shop here make simple shade that extends about 2 1/2 feet with an upward tilt from the rear of the cabin using the backdrop snaps as support with the idea that it will protect us...

    Water on cabin floor of 2007 22 Cruiser?

    We had a similar problem a few years ago. After a lot of troubleshooting, the source was the foot pump that supplies water to the galley sink. There was no fix other than replacing the pump, but it was not expensive. Regards

    Non-Ethanol fuel in Washington

    Here is an idea that works in Boise. A friend advised that the card lock companies here will accept non-commercial clients. So, I applied and was accepted and that gives me acess to both 87 and 91 octane ethanol and non ethanol gasoline here in the Valley. And of course they have diesel...

    Motor position while towing

    Since we live in Boise, we tow everywhere and our boat spends huge amounts of time on the trailer. The way I approached the issue was to use what Honda calls the transom angle adjusting pin. It came with one on the 75 on our 22 cruiser, and we trailered with pin in the top hole and never had...

    C-Dory Covers

    Guess I didn't realize you already had the boat so the tank issue was irrelevant. After talking to Sea Glaze who said they didn't know why the window stopped where it did, we cut the outer weather stripping away a couple of inches to increase the opening, which will help some when hooking the...

    Knee replacement and swim ladder

    I'll be interested in the replies, as Ellen just had a knee repalcement. After we purchased the C-Squirt which did not have a step or platform, I ordered and installed the factory option which has 2 steps to the platform. My thinking was that even with a bad knee a person could hit the step...

    Tow vehicle advice Chevy 350

    I'll weigh in on this one for a bit. First I have an 04 Yukon with a 5.3 Liter engine that had the same indications. Second, I change my oil at 7500 or more miles, but I also use scheduled oil sampling which is an oil analysis program most used by aircraft owners, heavy machinery managers and...

    C-Dory Covers

    First to Sunbeam, I sent a separate reply with the phone # of the cover shop so it should be out there someplace. Second to Brian, About the 22 vs the 16. After running rivers for many years we decided to explore other places. And the C-Dory looked like the best fit. So we brought one home...

    C-Dory Covers

    Brian, I have recently put a cover on our 16 cruiser. That's the good news, bad news is that I live in Boise. So that may not be much help. However we have a shop here that does an excellant job, and is adjacent to a jet boat dealer, so 95% of what he does is boats, and boats that often do...

    Spare tires and lugnuts.

    Recently I retrived our 16 Cruiser from winter storage, and during the pre launch checkout, happened to check the spare tire pressure which I found to be zero. Eventually we found some foreign material under the bead. That fix solved the problem. In the course of removing the tire from the...

    accurate fuel gauges for portable tanks

    Now that I have moved from a 22 to 16 cruiser, I have entered the world of portable tanks. I have Honda oem 6 and 3 gallon tanks. One came with the boat and the 3 gallon was new from the kicker on the 22. Both of them have gauges built into the filler caps, and neither one is accurate...

    Permatrim---thumbs up or thumbs down?

    Recently we replaced out 22 cruiser with a 16 cruiser. It is equipped with a Permatrim. Operatiion will be in lakes and reservoirs, with some fishing. I intend to just run the single 50. I am asking if it is possible to add a trolling plate to the Permatrim or will I have to remove it...
