I am currently using a 50hp Honda and 5hp Suzuki for my 16' Angler. I originally had an 8hp Honda as a kicker but I didn't like the additional weight at the transom and it wouldn't push the boat any faster than a 5 hp Suzuki. I also use two batteries and a battery switch. I installed a deep...

You might want to use the craigs list search engine. There appears to be quite a few 22's on there nationwide. I don't know how many ads are current though. Good Luck on your search. Al

I have a 2003 Honda 50 that also "makes oil". I bought it used about 4 years ago and have had the problem since I bought it. It doesn't overflow but it is always high on the dipstick after running it for a few trips. Les's mechanic suggested that it was probably the thermostat but I could check...

I had a problem with stray cats getting into my boat and spraying it. My solution may work for you as well. In sportings goods stores that sell hunting supplies, they sell coyote urine in small amounts. I put a tin can in the back of my boat with some shredded paper towel in it and a few drops...

I have a 1990 Angler model as well and have added the following: A rack in the cuddy that sits on the step in the fiberglass hull. This allows me to store the rarely used items (spare prop, ropes, anchor, etc.) under the rack and put the more frequently used items on top like fish boxes, life...

I have the 16' angler also with a 50 Honda and 6 suzuki. I would say you would be OK with 3 adults on occasion if you are on fairly protected water like lakes and rivers. I fish off the west side of Vancouver Island and would not even consider having 3 full size adults in the boat for that...

If I had a bigger boat I would definitely check out Brooks Bay but I don't stray too far from the mouth of Quatsino Sound. I generally go the other way up the island at most about 10 miles and a couple miles off shore in good weather. The wind always blows me back to Quatsino. I've heard a few...

Dave I trailer over the Holberg Road but it is 50 miles of logging road from hell. I take a lot of camping gear and a freezer, and have my brother with me, so coming in from Coal Harbour was not an option for me. I make it to Winter Harbour in about 2 hours from the paved road at Port Hardy. If...

I've been taking my 16' Angler up there for a week every summer for the past 7 years. The pictures in my photo album are from Winter Harbour (Quatsino Sound). It's a great place to fish but you have to deal with the weather if you go outside the sound and sometimes you just don't go outside. Al

While siphoning gas out of my portable gas tanks today I remembered this thread. I use a fuel squeezebulb and fuel line to siphon gas out of the portable tanks and into my truck so the gas doesn't sit all winter. The squeezebulb siphon sucks every last drop of fuel out of my tanks. This method...

One thing most people don't realize is that tow ratings are limited by the gross combined vehicle weight limit which is usually posted on the door of the vehicle. Putting weight (people, gear, etc.) in the vehicle generally reduces the legal weight of the towed vehicle by an equivalent amount. I...

When I bought my used 16' Angler it came with a trailer with no brakes. I planned to pull it with a Ford Ranger that was rated at about 3,000 pounds and being conservative when it comes to towing, I bought a new trailer with brakes for it. It wasn't required by Washington State law but I liked...

If anyone is interested, Islands Marine on Lopez Island has a 1983 22' C-Dory for sale for $9,900 but they say it needs some transom work. It might be a good fixer for someone. I notice it does have a 90 Honda. I am not connected with this boat or dealer, just saw it on their website. Al

I had that problem with a Johnson once. Turns out the electrical connection to the switch was loose. If it doesn't make a sound when you hit the down button then my guess would be a loose or corroded switch. If you can get to the connections to the switch and clean/tighten them that might fix...

Well I attempted to install the new steering today but ran into a snag. I was hoping to use the existing 20 degree bezel to mount the helm (steering gear box) on but the new helm won't mount on it. The new steering kit came with a 90 degree bezel which won't work with the c-dory dash either. So...

I just ordered the replacement kit for my 16' angler and it had a 15' cable in it. There was a number on my cable that had a "180" in it which appears to be the cable length in inches. So you might be able to get the cable length that way (or remove it and measure it). Otherwise it is just a...

My 1990 angler started getting hard to turn this year also. I got back from my Canada fishing trip last week and pulled the cable and helm unit out of the boat. It was getting a little rusty in the tube on the outboard which seemed to be the problem but the steering was getting sloppy anyway so...

Marco I see you live in BC so I'll pass this tip on to you. I have a 16' Angler and travel to Vancouver Island each summer to fish. I use a 7.5 gallon tank (plastic Tempo brand) at the stern. Last year during the ferry trip over I was called to the deck and told that my tank was against the...

My 16' Angler came with the canvas back that attaches on each side at the bottom to the floor of the cockpit. There is a small stainless steel eye strap screwed to the deck under the gunwale and the canvas has a snap hook attached to it at the bottom outside corner that you hook to the eye strap...

Sark That would be Winter Harbour in Quatsino Sound on Vancouver Island. I live in Mount Vernon and have been trailering the boat up there for the past 6 years with my brother as copilot. Basically you drive up Vancouver Island to Port Hardy (5 hours from ferry terminal on the island) and turn...
