Sunbeam, I would say, make your changes incrementally with in-the-water evaluation as you go if you are near a launch ramp. On our 22 cruiser we have 1 battery in stbd locker, and 62lb Yamaha 6 kicker on port side. I am thinking of moving the kicker to stbd with a mini jacker. From the above...

Thanks Mark, the photos really help visualize that solution! I see the schematic from the link above. This must be stainless but any additional specs on grade and thickness? Also a similar and simple solution might be to get a mini jacker (about $100 online) and shim the lower bolt holes if...

Sunbeam- thanks for your response of your experience. One thing about putting kicker the on port side, is more potential for tiller clearance issues because tiller is on port side of the kicker. Good to have kicker tiller steering available in case the main steering goes out (which I have...

Yes Mark, would be great if you could post some pictures of the Tyboo mount in the flesh. Having the mounting board in a more vertical orientation would help the kicker leg, in up position, clear the water. It would lessen the ability to get negative trim, but I can't see any need for negative...

I recently had an outboard mechanic mount a long shaft 6 horse Yamaha kicker on my 2008 22 cruiser. I wanted kicker on the port side to help keep the boat balanced. KISS- no fancy electric tilt, electric start, alternator, or attached steering. Mechanic told me he would be using a bracket. When...

Is your engine a Honda? My 2008 CD22 apparently has no power to the instrument lights. From the wiring diagram in my BF90D manual, I think the two small terminals on the wiring harness are the connection, though I have not yet tried connecting them for fear of damage. I had to cut a couple small...

Another possible clue: Along the forward base of each blade of the prop, there is a line of pits which I assume are due to cavitation. There is a photo of this in my album.

Hi. I am looking to improve the mid-range performance of my new-to-me 2008 22 Cruiser. Specs: Honda BF90D (60 hr), and also Yamaha F6 kicker which adds 60 lbs to the transom. Has Bennett trim tabs 12" wide (across the transom) x 8" deep (fore-aft) (I don't see this size in Bennett's current...

In the last 2 summers I tried to sell my Sea Ray using EBay, Craigslist, and local internet boards, with a link to comprehensive photos and feature list. Nary a nibble, with a couple SF Bay Area potential buyers reluctant to travel here. I was discouraged. In mid August I hung a For Sale sign...

Hi Joe. I periodically peruse the for sale list on this site. I finally sold our Sea Ray, and we will be ready to buy in January. So maybe we will meet if your boat is still available. However, towards helping you in the nearer term, here is my experience and advice, worth every penny...

I think round window looks more nautical. (And while we're at it, single+kicker is best!! :D )

Roger- If you can't get many C-Brats to join you, or even if you do, suggest you try to network with the local Washington coastal sport fishermen as well. Due to coastal topography and consequent upwelling patterns, tuna water tends to be farther offshore in northern Calif than in Oregon and...

From the pictures in your album when the boat was constructed, it appears the tank was set in place after the hull and deck were joined. Could it be possible to remove the tank intact?

...and Bing Bing Bing the winner of this post is..........Yammie! Bob- Yes I have seen Yamaha seems the motor of choice in Mexico and the Caribbean. And in terms of "remoteness", Fort Bragg has been "just right" for me for over 20 years now (I am one of many SF Bay Area transplants here). Pat...

The high quality of all modern outboard brands has been discussed here. I live in a remote area, far from factory authorized service dealers for all brands except one. I would appreciate opinions on the best brand(s) from an owner-maintenance standpoint. Some possible factors: -Availability and...

Thanks for the informative responses; may be interesting to hear Triton's take on this as well...

Are the Triton C-dories significantly lighter than prior builders due to vacuum bagging the hull and other components? If so, how much weight is saved? (Examples of weight savings by model?) From what I have read, vacuum bagging has significant weight and strength advantages. This would have...

The above responses are accurate. Here in Fort Bragg, we don't generally speak of a "bar", but rather the "jaws" formed by the parallel north and south jetties at the harbor entrance. Depth there can be as low as a few feet at low tides, and there have been a few capsize accidents in the "jaws"...
