    Repowered with ETEC

    Just repowered my 1990 22ft Cruiser with a 2009 90HP Evinrude ETEC. Replacing the original 1990 70HP Johnson. What a HUGE difference. Ran super. Today was my first time out with it and I've traveled this distance with the old motor and used almost twice the gas. That old Johnson really...

    Canvas for 22ft Cruiser

    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...

    Mysterious Black Spots

    My C-Dory was on a boat lift in Maryland for 6 years. I started getting these tiny pin head black spots all over the outside of the boat. These are like raised bubbles and are hard. My boat is a 1990 that has been exposed to California and Maryland sun since new so the gel coat is pretty much...

    Bennett Trim Tab Installation

    I have a 1990 22' Cruiser that needs trim tabs bad. My question is: Do I have to remove my twin 18 Gallon fuel tanks to intall these trim tabs? Also, I have a 15HP Kicker mounted to the transom on the Starboard side of the main 70 HP. Does anyone have a recommended Trim Tab size that would...

    Props, 3 blade vs 4 blade

    I operate in high current waters. My 22' cruiser is all over the place in this current. I currently have a 1990 70HP Johnson but will be re-powering in the early spring. Most boaters I know have 3 blade props. My current prop is a 3 blade. I'm told that a 4 blade prop would give me more...

    E-Tec vs 4 Stroke

    Here we go again. I'm looking at a 90HP Evinrude E-Tec Outboard. I've priced all brands of 4 strokes as well as the E-Tec. I'm told, by the dealer, that the E-Tec 90HP will bolt to the same hole pattern as my current 1990 Johnson 70HP and will use the same controls. C-Dory Customer Service...

    The Galley

    I have a 1990 22' Cruiser with a two burner alcohol stove. Has anyone upgraded to the new Wallas Stove? Is the hole in the counter top the same size? Are the instructions for venting complete? I understand that the Wallas Stove makes a good safe space heater. Is that correct? Thanks, Dick

I've heard many pros and cons about single vs twin engines and would like to hear from C-Dory owners as to what works...

    Repowering

    I own a 1990 22' Cruiser with a 1990 70HP Johnson. I bought this package new. The Johnson is no longer reliable. Carburation problems and smokes a lot. I've run this boat in salt water since day one so I'm seeing more and more corrosion even after washing down after use. I'm looking to repower...
