I recently replaced the tires on my 2001 EzLoader trailer. The size is 225:75R15. They are 10 ply rated from Les Schwab. The MaryEllen is a 22 cruiser with twin 40HP Hondas. They are rated for 80 pounds, which was put in at the time of purchase. Seems hight to me, anyone have a recommendation...

Last week we took the Mary Ellen up to Mayfield Lake for a lunch cruise. It was a beautiful Fall day with just a few boats on the lake. Put 25 miles on the boat and had a great time. When we got her back on the trailer I drained the oil on the twin Honda's while it was still warm. Then after I...

Went down to the 2017 Portland Boat Show last week. Was pleased to see a nice display from Sportcraft Marine. They had a Cdory 22, 25 and a Tomcat. Also a 24 SeaSport. A nice display with a knowledgeable salesman. I put a few pictures in my album.

Has anyone taken the rubber padding off a 2001 or later 22' Cruiser and exposed the stainless wheel? I like the looks of the wheel without the rubber grip material. Also it would make it much easier to install a knob.

Interested in what meathod some of you use to remove gas from tanks in a 22' cruiser for winter storage? I have siphoned in the past but would like a faster meathod, perhaps a pump of some kind. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Like many others the windows in our 22' cruiser had its share of water spots. I have tried many products without much success. Finally I found a product that really works. It does take some scrubbing to get great results. The windows now are clear and look new. The product is 755 Duragloss...

Surprised that their has been little comment about the new 25' Cdory. I thought it looked like a very nice build. Enjoyed seeing it and the two SeaSports on display. Preferring the 22', I would have liked to see one of the new builds of that model, maybe next year. Any other comments from fellow...

This is the 13th year that I have changed oil on the Mary Ellen's twin 40hp Hondas. I have tried every method to try and drain the oil without making a mess. No matter how careful I was I always had a spill. This year I purchased a Topsider MPV oil pump out system. You guessed, it worked perfect...

We have a 2002 EZloader trailer that came from the factory when we purchased the Mary Ellen. That was 11 years ago. This year I noticed we were losing brake fluid that ended up on the side of the boat after a tow home. I took everything apart and found the culprit. Brake cylinders that were...

After 16 faithful years of service I am selling our 1995 F-150 XLT short box extended cab 4wd pickup. It has the 5.8 liter engine with auto trans and tow package. It is as clean as a 16 year old pickup can be, never kept outside, always serviced regularly and has 108,000 miles. It has pulled our...

I like to remove all the fuel possible from the Mary Ellen before storing her for the winter. I have tried various methods to drain the two 25 gallon tanks. I purchased a spare hose with a pumping ball a couple of years ago. I put one end of the hose down thru the fill tube and hold a 5 gallon...

I needed to adjust some new keel rollers that I had installed so Nov. 1st was a very nice day to take the Mary Ellen up to Mayfield Lake. When we got there it was only 39 degrees so I fired up the trusty Wallas heater and off we went. Not another boat on the lake all day. Got the rollers...

Have been waiting a couple weeks since EQ Harbor installed new BayStar Hyd. steering and Lenco trim tabs to see if it was worth it. In a word, why did I wait so long. It really improved the handling of the Mary Ellen. I already had Permatrims on our twin 40hp Honda's and was able to trim for...

Many years ago 3 brothers started Delta Marine. I was lucky enough to be friends with them and have followed their success through the years as boat builders. They started out building fishing boats and evolved into one of the premier yacht building company's in the world. I was looking at their...

I have had the original steering become stuck after sitting stored in my shop several times the last couple of years. Even if I turn it every few weeks it has given me problems. I talked to Les at EQ and we decided that BayStar Hyd. steering would be a good fix. I also wanted to have trim tabs...

I am not sure who can help with this question, but here goes. I would sure like to have a couple of new C-brat stickers (grey) if their are any out there? If not is the interest to have some produced there? Anyone else need some? Thanks in advance for any help provided.

Does anyone remember the name of the brake repairman who specializes in brake repairs on King trailers in the Seattle area. I believe he had a mobile service. I think he worked on Pat and Patty's Daydream? Thanks in advance for any info.

I have been wondering how many new builds of C-dory's by the Triton Plant have taken place. It would be interesting to know how many of each type have been built to date. Maybe Scott will chime in on this question.

Just curious how most of you change out the lower unit grease. Hot or cold? I have always had it done during service visits, but am going to do it myself this time. I changed out the impellors last year and checked the grease and saw no water so I left it alone. I am going to change the engine...

Thinking about the 2011 SBS has anyone heard who will be displaying the new C-dorys? If so what models will be included? I looked on the SBS web site and no mention was found for a C-dory display. Just curious as I have been going to the show for many years and I think that the factory has had a...
