Sorry, Darryl doesn't own the boat anymore. I bought it from him :lol:

What boating magazines do C-Brats read? I want to find one or two that have articles covering the basics like maintenance and up-keep, how-to articles, destination reviews, electronics and gadgets, etc. Any recommendations? (so I can ask for a subscription for Christmas) Thanks, john

Thanks to everyone for their replies. They were all very useful, interesting to read and appreciated. The response was overwhelmingly in favor of using a slip if one is willing to accept the costs of rent and maintenance. With your feedback I've decided to rent a slip that will be just a...

I am considering a slip. Thanks very much the reply and sorry for not being clear in my original post.

With apologies to William Shakespeare! I am new boater with a 22' cruiser. I have an opportunity to grab a well priced slip at a local marina at a rate I can afford. For the sake of this discussion, please ignore the cost of moorage. I am trying to understand the downside / cons of keeping...

After speaking with Dave at the factory I've learned that the current 22' are being built with 19.5 gallon tanks and not the 25 gallon tanks anymore. The factory is very busy, and I'm thinking that there must be other places to purchase / source replacement tanks for my 1990 22' Cruiser. Can...

Thanks everyone for their replies and information. I am waiting to hear back from the factory to see what the cost and availability are of the 25Gal tanks. Lee - when you say "they fit great" does that mean it required zero modifications to make them work? I have a transom mounted trim-tab...

Hello All, I've decided to replace the original grey 18 gal fuel tanks in my 1990 22' Cruiser. Do folks have suggestions for a make / model / brand to replace them with? I think that they are Tempo tanks. Does Tempo have a replacement model? Should I get in touch with the factory to...

Steve - Why did the ear-muffs / mouse-ears not work well enough? I am keeping my boat on a trailer at home and thought that using the ear-muffs with a running engine was a better way to flush the salt-water away than just using the fresh-water port with an engine that isn't running. What am...

Thanks Charlie! (Yes, I wrote steve by accident...)

Steve - What is the brand / make of your bag? Do you have a link to one for sale online? Thanks, john

John S :: could you help me with more specifics of where the carb cleaner should be directed on these carbs? Thanks - John B

Hello everyone, I live on Bainbridge Island, near Seattle, and wonder where others in this area take their Honda outboards for service. Thanks for any recommendations. John Benjamin

Thanks JohnS. I have a can at the house already and will give it a try tomorrow. I've decided to test draining the bowl on #4, too, to see if that will help. I'll post the results tomorrow.

After testing the engine twice during the last week and not finding any gas leaks, I trailered the 22' Cruiser to the ramp this morning. We took the cowl off before engine start and everything was still dry. About 3 seconds after starting the engine gas started to leak / spurt / pour from the...

Thanks for all the replies. I'll run it again tomorrow and double check for fuel leaks. Flapbreaker: Thanks - Do you know what the other hose is connected to? I've attached some pictures to help explain my question about the hoses. I'm trying to figure out if the drain hose for Carbs...

Hello everyone -- I had my Honda BF90A engine tilted up for the last two weeks. When we put the boat into the water yesterday there was a very strong gas smell and when we removed the top cowl say gas pooled in the lower half of the engine cowl. Needless to say the cruise ended and I...

Hi Darrell, I too sent you a PM with contact information for me. I am very interested in looking at your boat. Thanks very much, John Benjamin

Hi I am looking to make contact with Kirby Bean. He was moving from Jueno to Medford, OR recently and I wanted to touch base to see if he was still planning on selling his CD. The email address I had been using has been turned off. Thanks in advance for any help, john Benjamin john "at"...
