This is what I already tried. I took the entire assembly off the motor and stripped it down to just the guide rod and the tilt steering shaft. I soaked it in PB blaster overnight and tried hammering it out to break the guide rod free... that didn't work... I also tried puttiing it in my 20-ton...

Hi All, The steering in my 22’ C-Dory has finally seized up permanently… I’m talking PB Blaster soak, hammering, hydraulic press ain’t fixing it type of seized up. So now I’m looking at replacing it. The part that is seized is the guide rod that goes into the tilt shaft… I was considering...

Congrats johnd! Welcome to the club... I'm also a recent member :-) I haven't fished the San Juan's, but I have friends that are hardcore fishing folk and they did a record year this year with the number of king salmon they pulled in. They start fishing in the San Juan's at the opener and...

I'm looking at storage solutions for our 22' cruiser and I'm wondering what others are doing for storage? The options I'm exploring at the moment are: - Camper back and leave the boat outside to the elements - Full cover for the entire boat (again, left outside) - A simple carport style roof...

Harvey, Interesting thread you've started. Looking forward to hearing replies. Not only am I new to the c-brat community and c-dory boats, but I'm also new to VHF radio. My other boat is a 16' duroboat that I've owned for around 7 years. I didn't have any sort of radio on the duroboat, so...

I didn't fish the derby, but saw at least 3 other c-dory boats around me from Meadow Point up to Edmonds... one of them was Catch 22. Wondering who my fellow fishing c-brats are in the area? We are in a 22' Cruiser with twin hondas. We got our boat decals last week, so will be putting them on...

Yeah, it only happens when I start throttling up and it hits about 2.2K ... if I go too fast past 2.2K it chokes and dies... unless I back off the throttle quickly.. then I can catch it and keep it from dying. Once I let it sit at 2.2K for some seconds I can throttle up and normally have no...

My apologies! They are triple carbed.

What was the procedure with sea foam? I tried a sea foaming on Friday and it seemed to work. When I initially started it and let it warm up for a few minutes and tried throttling up it was doing the same thing.. stalling at just above 2k RPM if I didn't stop at 2k and let it "catch its breath"...

Here's one in Southern Oregon: https://portland.craigslist.org/nco/boa ... 05603.html

A little more information about the motors - Twin Honda BF50A's with about 230 hours on each motor.

My wife and I took out our boat yesterday for its maiden voyage (and to do a little fishing). After we got out of the marina I started to throttle up the twin honda 50s to head out toward the fishing grounds. At around 2k RPM on the starboard engine it started to stall and then died. Starts...

Congrats! That looks like a fantastic boat. I would love to crawl around one of these and see how they compare to the 22 and 23. Looking forward to hearing about your experiences.

Here is our newest member to the family. Now we just need to get the decals to give her a proper name!

Welcome home!

I finally took home our first C-Dory yesterday... a 2008 22' Cruiser with twin honda 50's! I just wanted to say thanks to the many members on this forum that gave me some excellent feedback during the shopping process. You guys really helped up my confidence with my purchase and guide me in the...
