After 35+ years of boating, including 18 with C-Dories, we have sold our 16 cruiser. Ellen’s balance issues have continued to get worse and I have become increasingly concerned about her falling in the boat or going overboard and having significant difficulty getting back on board. Even though...

I sure there are some opinions out there but I have not been able to find the thread. So here is the question. At what intervals either hours or time do most people change water pump impellers on Hondas? We have a 2009 50 EFI on our 16. The impeller was last changed 4 years and 250 hours...

Since we occasionally over night on our 16 and have a single battery, l am thinking about changing to LED bulbs on the cabin and anchor lights. The forum references 22s. Has anyone done this on a 16? Would the bulbs be the same as a 22? Ours is a 2009 so I assume they are incandescent. Our...

I recently read that Goodyear has released a trailer tire they have labeled the "Endurance", and are of US manufacture. Anyone heard of them or know anything about them?

We just returned from boating on the big northern Idaho lakes, Pend Oreille and Coeur d'Alene. We put 10+ hours on our 16 cruiser with a 50 Honda EFI and about 550 lbs of people and gear, and we started with 18 gallons of fuel aboard, for another 110 lbs. We did the 10 hours on less than 16...

I am considering downsizing from a GMC Yukon to a Toyota 4runner, and wondering if anyone has experience pulling a 16 cruiser with said 4runner, and how it performed in the hills. Depending on where we go, we can get as high as 8,000 ft. Jack

Boating in Boise usually results in doing it in dry weather. However recently we have had 2 situations that resulted in a wet cabin (and shoes) floor. Once the source was rain, and the other was water from wave action over the sides and into the cockpit. In both instances, the attitude was...

We have a Honda 50 EFI on our 16 cruiser with about 250 hours. We spend many hours trolling at low idle, about 800 rpm. Until recently, it was running smooth while underway. Recently it started running very rough intermittently. I had changed the prop down to a 9 pitch in anticipation of our...

This question is for a Honda Tech, if there is one out there. The C-Squirt has a Honda 50 EFI. When I did the last oil change, I noted the Honda filter was $15 which adds a lot to cost of the service. The primary use of the C-Squirt is trolling. Generally that means at lest 3 hours at idle...

We have 4 portable fuel tanks for our Honda 50 EFI. 3 old style with the fuel gauge and vent in the cap, and sad to say, a new style 6 gallon with the separate gauge and what appears to be a non functioning vent in the cap. We only use it on longer trips. Recently when under way at about 4500...

Recently I retrived our 16 Cruiser from winter storage, and during the pre launch checkout, happened to check the spare tire pressure which I found to be zero. Eventually we found some foreign material under the bead. That fix solved the problem. In the course of removing the tire from the...

Now that I have moved from a 22 to 16 cruiser, I have entered the world of portable tanks. I have Honda oem 6 and 3 gallon tanks. One came with the boat and the 3 gallon was new from the kicker on the 22. Both of them have gauges built into the filler caps, and neither one is accurate...
