I'm still fairly new at boating in salt water and have a question: what is the best protocol for preventing trailer connector contacts from corroding? I'm having issues with intermittent connections to my trailer that appear to be caused by corrosion.

Has anyone cruised Owyhee Reservoir recently? It looks like it is filling up well this year and I'm thinking of heading over there.

I have an annoying problem with my trailer. I replaced the non-functioning surge brakes with electric over hydraulic Kodiak disk brakes. They seem to work great with one issue. I leave my boat in the water (salt water) over the summer so my trailer sits unused (but covered). I rinse it well...

I'm planning on renting a slip in Winchester Bay for a few months this summer. This will be the first time I've moored my boat for an extended period. I'd welcome any tips or advice on setup, what to leave on the boat, what not to leave on the boat, and what ever I haven't thought of. Thanks...

I recently added a kicker to Nowhere Fast. I plumbed in a 'Y' after the fuel/water separator with a line to the main (90 hp Suzuki) and the kicker. Each motor has its own primer bulb. This seems to work OK except that after I run on the kicker for awhile, the Suzuki is difficult to re-prime...

I recently bought a new propeller for my boat so my old one will become my spare. How do you store your spare propeller so it doesn't get dinged up or damage other items? I have large compartments under my V berth so I have plenty of storage.

I've been towing my CD22 cruiser with an old Toyota Tacoma and am looking for a new tow vehicle. The Ford F150 and Toyota Tundra look good to me. I've heard the Tundra is more reliable but the F150 gets slightly better mileage. Any advice out there in C-Brat land before I take the plunge?

Much of the original paint has flaked off the cabin deck of my 2008 22' cruiser. It has also flaked off the wall in few spots. What is the recommended paint to replace it? The original is flat and appears to have been put on fairly thick.

My fuel filter/water separator on my C22 is located in the bilge between the fuel tanks (along with lots of other stuff that shouldn't be there). I plan to move it to the void above the starboard fuel tank. That seems like a protected place with easy enough access. My question is where should...

My 22' cruiser has 3 hatches in the V berth. When I inspect inside the forward compartment, the fiberglass tape used to 'tab' the bulkhead to the hull has separated from the hull. It appears to me (with little expertise in this area) that the factory did not adequately prep/clean the hull before...

I joined C-Brats about a year ago as a Wanna-be, dreaming of cruising as I drifted toward retirement. Now I'm a C-Brat New-be, I just bought a 2008 22' Cruiser. I want to thank all of you who have shared your vast knowledge in these Forums. Lots of great advice that helped me find the boat of...
