It has been suggested that I change my prop to a 4 blade prop. One manufacturer makes a 4 blade prop for my 1990 70 HP Johnson but it's a composite prop. Supposed to be better then aluminium but not as good as stainless steel. Does anyone have experience with a composite prop? Rich, see you...

I'm not sure. I know it's not like it was when the boat was new. Then I could get 25 - 27 MPH. Speed dropped off to about 20MPH with the old prop. I never knew why. I've never put bottom paint on the boat and I trailer the boat so the bottom is clean. I normally ran at about 4000 RPM...

I have power trim and have played with the trim in this current and it either has no effect on the cavitation or makes it worse. The power trim also makes the bow go down which makes it dig into this strong and erratic current causing the boat to shift from side to side. This current is not a...

This boat has never run good against this current. The boat is too light and all over the place. To get better control of the boat in this current I went to the local Evinrude Dealer. He asked what my wide open trottle (WOT) RPM was. I never really paid much attension to it so I took the...

The outboard came with the boat in 1990. Not sure if it's long or short. I have resently replace my water pump.

I have an all 1990 22 foot Cruiser and I'm now experiencing problems going against the tide or strong current. I've operated the boat in San Pablo Bay California, Sacramento River California and Potomac River Maryland and never had this much current nor problems. Now I'm operating in the...

jstates How did you remove the window frame or did you? Several window rubbers on my CD22 are shrinking and need replacement. I found replacement rubber through an earlier thread but can't get the frames to break loose from the boat. What ever sealer they used really works. My CD22 is a...

I bought my 22' C-Dory new in 1990 outside San Francisco. In 1995 I towed it to Lexington Park, Maryland behind my full sized GMC pickup. Before I left I had new tires put on the trailer, a spare added, brakes and wheel bearings checked. It was an easy tow but long. In 2001 I towed the same...

I fought with this all last season. This is serious stuff. No cleaners have touched it. I've had pro's look at it. I'm now, or will be once I uncover my boat this spring, having to resort to 1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper, sanding wet, followed by a good rubbing compound, a polishing compound...

This is an update on an earlier thread. Please refer to: http://plantclinic.cornell.edu/FactShee ... fungus.htm This fungus is caused by decaying wood chips. I have thousands of these tiny black, hard shelled spots all over my 22 ft cruiser. I've tried everything to remove these spots...

After months of solution searching I've found the only way to remove this fungus problem. I'm using 1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper followed by a buffing using 3M Super Duty Rubbing Compound, followed by buffing with a finishing compound and finally followed by a good wax job. A lot of elbow...

I brought this subject up before under "Mysterious Black Spots". These spots are called Artillery Fungus which is spores from decaying wood chips. These spores are repelled about 20' and attracted to anything that reflects the sunlight. My boat is covered with these spots. Refer to...

Hi All, I have had a lot of trips to Santa Barbara. I have a Brother-in-law living there. Really nice place to visit. If your into fishing, try the Santa Cruz Island. It's about 25 miles out as I remember but we caught Sheepshead and California White fish. Both are good to fish for and...

I'm looking for ideas for canvas to cover the cockpit area of my boat. I'm sure there's a lot of photos out there. I'm not sure whether I want full enclosure or just something to cover the cockpit while the boat is on our mooring. I fish a lot and full enclosure might be in the way of my...

This is Mysterious Black Spots revisited. My boat is covered with these tiny hard shelled black spots that contain a tarry substance that stains the fiberglass. These spots are called Artillery Fungus, visit http://plantclinic.cornell.edu/FactShee ... fungus.htm These spots are caused by...

Thanks for your responses. I can't respond via e-mail because of a virus so I'll keep my eye on any C-Dory I see, "Of Course". My Wife and I have plans on the 8th of July and will be with another couple so boat rides are out. I appreciate the offers. Looking forward to our first time visit...

I was able to put my boat in the water for the first time last Friday. With all the heavy rains there has been loads of debris in the river so I've waited for the waters to clear. I ran my 22' C-Dory Cruiser, 70HP 2 Stroke 1990 Johnson at WOT. I got 4700 RPM and after playing with the trim...

Thanks to all for your help. I think I've found the cause. Check out this link: http://plantclinic.cornell.edu/FactShee ... fungus.htm I have a two acre wooded lot and when they removed the trees they hauled off the logs and shredded the branches into a large pile in the woods next to where...

Thanks for all the input. I'm still troubled by these blac spots. The spots are all on one side, from the roof to the waterline. On the aluminum window frames, Stainless Steel railings, Galvanized trailer and the fiberglass. The spots are continueing because they're on my new registration...

Thanks for the info. Tom, Thanks for the invite but we're going to a wedding on the 8th. I'd like to see your C-Dory. I too have a 22' Cruiser. Bought her new in 1990. I checked the C-Brat membership and it looks like a lot of C-Dory's in and around Anchorage. There's only three here in...
