Didn’t ever see you pm , boat sold this am.

Bob, thanks for the support. It does have the Raymarine autopilot, but I never use it, I’ve hit too many logs in Puget Sound over the years, so I try to keep both hands in the wheel and eyes ahead. The lake runs about 70f during the summer and at the end I just have a light film that I clean off...

2006 C-Dory 22 Cruiser for sale I’m looking to get into a larger boat, possibly a 25 Cruiser. So my very well cared for 22 is now up for sale. It spent most of its life in fresh water, currently in North Idaho on Lake Pend O’reille in a covered slip. Winters in a heated storage unit. The...

Leaving Sandpoint, ID tomorrow morning, looking forward to my 1st get together. Deeplake will be in H-7. Looking forward to seeing many C-Dorys and their great owners.

Hi all, I’m coming over from Idaho for the get together and wondering where to launch, preferably by hoist to keep the trailer out of salt water, and then a place to park my truck and trailer from 5/8 to 5/16. I have a 22’ Cruiser.

I’ve always believed that carbureted outboards need to be choked when cold. I have a 1995 Merc 175 2 Stroke on an old Sea Ray and my procedure is: 1). Pump bulb until VERY firm 2). In neutral, pump throttle once 3). Push choke in while turning key (my choke is part of the ignition, you push...

I just bought the 43cv for cruising and fishing on Idaho lakes. Hope screen is big enough or I’ll have to buy stronger glasses! Wanted something small for the dashboard and easy to take out and store when boat parked in storage.

Homerjack, here is what I did recently on my 1989 22. 1. Removed hatch, 12 screws plus 6 more at hinge 2. Scraped all old sealant off cabin room, didn’t seem like enough? 3. Cleared underside of hatch of old sealant 4. Injected “gitrot” into balsa surrounding the Full opening, some soft...

Rshuman531, can you share why you went with Simrad over Garmin for your navigation system?

Rshuman531, that will be my winter project! And...adding new electronics and radar.

Desert Dory, thanks much, your roof rack scenario makes total sense now. I’m sure I’ll be back with many more questions in the future. Curt
