does anyone ever have an issue with the black trim strip that is on the top edge of transom lifting near the swim platforms area,was wondering if the transom is sealed off under the trim or if the trim was the only thing keeping water out. ours isn't real bad but i'm concerned if caulking the...

without sounding too dumb, how critical is the function of this tube...it's very thin and snapped off the stem at the lower end of valve cover...there was no clamp.. can the motor function with this disconnected ( we don't know how long it was broken) it could have come off when we removed cover...

this is a '06 90hp, after returning to dock with no problems decided to check oil. opened cover and saw tube on lower lefthand side and looked like it's connection was broken off from the casing at the bottom.this tube comes out and loops back and the curved loop does come very close to where...

anybody know where to find the alcohol fuel cannisters for the origo stove--cheap? or...how long it would take to burn off bad fuel(sooting like crazy) if they were allowed to burn free on the ground. i don't want to hurt the wicks.

I just wanted to finally say again hello to c-dories on upper chesapeake... saw quite a few this summer, been off this sight for awhile (tech,prob.) to the nice gentleman from pittsburgh (tomcat out of middle river) you peddle kayaked by us at Tim's on Worton we thought that looked like a...

we have developed a high pitched screeching sound when the outboard goes down about midway along, doesn't do it everytime though. we greased the fittings for the steering shaft that is full. was wondering about the trim hydraulics, could that be the problem.. the sound is a metal sound like an...

last year we scraped against a boat which put a scratch mark on our green trim, although we think that it is varnish from their wooden rub rail, you can barely scratch a little off with your fingernail but is VERY hard, does seem to be on top of our gelcoat. i don't want to make it worse, some...

i think there was mention before about putting new screw seals on when you change gear oil. so we bought new seals and they look like plastic discs the original ones are rubber, that seem to fit in the bottom threads of the screws . what's the consensus on replacing the year old originals...

unfortunately while temporarily rafted to a sailboat a wake threw us together and we found what looks like paint or wax scraped onto our green trim, it feels like it is on top of the gelcoat you can scratch it and some comes off but is very hard. any advice on a product or method to fix this...

ok this day went down hill fast.. last weekend everything ran fine and today shortly after leaving the marina, dogging sputtering and running rough and unevenly so go back check the seperating filter and voila there is water! we have had the same gas for about 3-4 wks and have been at about 1/2...

well a friend gave us a nice name plate that would look great outside the cabin door. the skipper wants to unbolt that piece above there to be able to put nuts behind the screws to secure it. any thoughts on that or has anyone screwed anything into that piece.. it seems like it's made out of the...

took our new 22 out in some rough water yesterday, handled good but we have some dripping around several window frames. even if water can get into the outside drains i wouldn't think it should be able to migrate into the cabin.. also slider latch onport side came loose. this is brand new., does...

We are taking delivery in march and the dealer is wrapping and storing for us, when I asked about removal and storage of the batteries their responce was they leave them in and they'l be fine. I always thought that you should remove and store them inside maybe put them on a charge at least once...

I am a new owner of a 22 and we decided on peck pipe, danforth, locker thru hull drain, and at the recommendation of dealer 150' of chain, no line rode at all. we are on chesapeake with primarily sand and mud bottoms and have used a fluke style on our old boat. but the all chain rode will be...
