I have made the agonizing decision to let my great 2006 CD22, the FRESH FISH go to a good home (yes, I did cry when I made the decision). I am starting a new business, and I will not be able to get out on the water to treat her the way she deserves to be treated. I hate to see the Fresh Fish sit...

A few weeks ago, I found my starboard side Lenco trim tab actuator, or piston, or whatever they're called, had pulled away form the SS trim tab. I replaced the tab, and took the damaged piece apart. I decided to post the photos in my photo album in case anyone else wants to see what the inside...

Well folks, Angola Canvas in Indiana came through again with a fine job of fabrication for a cover for my CD 22: Fresh Fish (click on link to the the left for photos). THANK YOU ANGOLA CANVAS FOR A JOB WELL DONE! Full credit for the design goes to a fellow C Brat in New Hampshire. Name...

My trim tab recently came apart, and I'm confused as to how to fix it. The tab has been on the CD 22 since 2006. The base is attached to the piston via a pressure fitting, which has separated and the tab is now laying parallel to the transom. Their isn't any kind of a break, it's just simply a...

My Family will be relocating to the Denver, Colorado area right after the first of the year (2020). I was wondering if ya'll have any tips and tricks for me on boat/motor operations at elevation and/or in general for the area and/or the mountain west. I'll miss catching all the great trophy...

Help! After 8 seasons of fishing Lake Michigan, I'm still having problems finding buddies to fish with. You would think it wouldn't be such a problem, but it is. I fish from the south side around Portage/Gary, IN all the way up to the IL/WI state line (West side) to the Manistee area (East...

I have a 2007 CD22 Cruiser, and would love to install a sliding window and screen on the cabin door. I've searched through the forums, and am coming up empty on topics that have covered this project. I understand that Diamond/SeaGlaze makes the windows. I looked through their excellent...

Been fishing Lake Michigan out of C Dory's since 2013 with great success. Originally out of a CD16 and now out of a CD22, the FRESH FISH. My only regret is not having contacts in the great lakes that want to fish out of these great fishing platforms, or to tag team on outings with multiple...

What is the best way to re-prime the fuel in the gas lines and water separator after re-installing the gas tanks after cleaning? I've just moved up to a CD22 from a CD16 and have very little knowledge on how this gets done. The original owners manual does not cover this point either. Lots of...

I see in various photos of CD22's that their is a standard rear deck cover made of canvas or sunbrella. My new (to me) CD22 is outfitted with snaps for a cover, (and once had a cover as evidenced by the photos by the previous owner on this site). Does anyone know if there is a company that...

Recently upgraded from a CD16 Angler to a great 2006 CD22 Cruiser. This particular model has a rub-rail attached by bolts and nuts on the inside of the cabin. The bolts are spaced approximately 16" on center along the entire rub rail. On the inside, the factory simply covered the nylock...

the past few months, I have been having trouble sending emails to other C Brats. All is well, until I send the email and the email always ends up in my own email box instead of the recipients. Any tips and tricks to fix this? many thanks. D

I’ve decided to move up to a CD22 Cruiser and am offering OPA, my great 1985 era CD16 Angler to someone who needs a great fishing and/or family boat. This boat lived out in the Pacific Ocean off San Diego in it’s early days and made regular 20 mile runs out to the reefs to fish for Barracuda...

Looked through the gatherings page and didn't see any posted for L. MI. Anybody out their planning or thinking of a CD gathering on L. MI? I fish the lake a lot for salmonids, with my CD16: OPA. She does great out there on that big water, and I'm always hoping to see another CD16, but alas I've...

My boat: OPA has been performing marvelously on L. Michigan the past 2014 season. I've rigged it quite well for fishing salmonids and OPA is handling the lake extremely well. I'm not silly enough to go out on the lake blind. I check buoy data, NOAA, coast guard recommendations, and historical...
