Excellent and very comprehensive advise from Thataway! I've also been surveying or presurveying all of my boats in the past 45 years and I have also used inexpensive electromagnetic moisture meters as long as they've been available. Having been able to compare their readings to the...

Oh, but the whole reason that I came here to post tonight is that I'm in the Key's right now and I was fishing in the mangroves putting down my anchor and pulling it up several times. I wanted to warn you that if you have a older 22 cruiser with only a lower anchor locker panel, be prepared to...

Not arguing here, just pointing out different strokes for different folks... Foul the anchor flute? Of a Danforth type anchor possible, but then I wouldn't use a Danforth anchor as my main anchor on any boat that is doing any overnights. No way! Danforth types are well known for pulling out...

Hi Mully, Be sure to get the Lewmar 700 pro FREEFALL. The freefall only needs about 2 seconds of power to loosen the clutch when your putting the anchor down and really don't want to be burning through your battery capacity because you'll be shutting the engine down soon. In this case the...

Hi and welcome. Just a few thoughts having just finished most of a complete overhaul on my 1999 22 Cruiser. It came with an Origo 2 burner alcohol stove. I've had these on a couple of other boats and they work well with cooking times just slightly longer than propane and alcohol being...

Hi Everybody, just made my reservations and have to say that the 833-853-2583 Phone # given above is a dead #. The # to call for Hontoon reservations is 866-455-2925. I just made mine for March 2 through the 6th. I missed the NC get together because I was in the middle of a complete overhaul...

I just put a Suzuki 6hp kicker on the starboard side hooked right to the transom and it works great. It was a tight fit getting the clamps over the transom on the 22 as there's maybe an 1/8" to spare. BUT, I ordered a 6hp longshaft not knowing that Suzuki already has added 2 extra inches to...

1. I bought a new Mantus 25lb M2 anchor for my last boat and didn't end up installing it or using it before I sold that boat. It's WAY too big for the new to me C-Dory 22 that I just bought, so I'm selling it for the price of the smaller 17lb Mantus M2 $250 that will be perfectly sized for the...

Hi all, Finally got around to posting pictures. Remember, you get 10 people doing this and you'll see 10 different processes... I'm very happy with this and think that it's bomb proof and good for the life of the boat and then some. There was very little sanding to do and very little fairing...

The side show what was under the black plastic trim it\'s full length. Dry resin starved mat... Nio wonder water leaked into the coring underneith.

all excess epoxy paste that squeezed out along the perimeter was thoroughly removed and cleaned off to be added just before the transom outer glass face was reapplied.

I found I had to remove more glass as I was dealing with some white mystery paste that I found around the perimeter of the balsa coring so I didn\'t feel the need to put those little pieces back in as the epoxy and microfiber paste is at least as strong. So the white streaks are not trapped air...

Again

added ~3/8 shim close to the sides to add the gentle curve in my transom and allow for the outside piece of glass to go on flush 360degrees.

with a narrow transom like this horizontal braces using the engine mount holes and 8\" screws works real well.

The light 3/8\" shims allowed for the ~1/4\" outside glass and a light 1/8\" of epoxy and microfiber paste.

Didn\'t check the thickness of the existing glass until after I ground it down and felt that it wasn\'t just one or two layers of mat. It was already 3/16+, but because I already ground it and had 2 layers of 1208, 1 of mat and the PeelPly cut, I went ahead and applied...
