My 22' of similar age (2008) had a similar problem on the interior. I peeled off the loose stuff and painted over the exposed fiberglass -- after a good cleaning and prepping. I also had some internal tabbing that had lifted off the hull that I ground off, cleaned and prepped the hull surface...

The Fell unit is easy to test, just idle the engine at the dock and walk away from the boat. Mine shuts the engine down at about the 50' mark. I have also dunked my pendant for a test and the engine shut down, same is true when you cut the power to the Fell unit. When I wired mine into the...

On my main engine I use a MOB+ electronic lanyard from Fell Marine. If I get 50' from the engine, it turns off. I boat solo quite a bit and consider this essential equipment. On my kicker, which I operate from the cockpit, I use the engine lanyard religiously.

The main reason I fly a flag on my bow is for a wind direction and speed indicator. I chose a state of Oregon flag.

There is a great product made to protect gun barrels called Barricade by Birchwood Casey, it comes in a spray can. It has protected my old shotgun when hunting ducks in tidal flats and I have used it on sensitive instruments while dyno testing underwater motors for work. I have not tried this...

I'm glad you are keeping the tradition going. I really enjoyed last year but can't make it this year. I'll be back another time, though. Karl

I have a 75 lb black lab, Tango, that enjoys trips on all my boats from canoes, drift boat, jet boat and C-Dory. I start training my puppies very young to have good canoe manners -- they always have to sit or lie down, and they ONLY jump in or out when given permission. It has never taken long...

I have a 2008 22' cruiser, when I mixed gel coat I add a few drops of brown to the white base until I get a good match, I don't use any black or other color.

I'm working to clear my schedule and attend the Friday Harbor gathering and join in on the PLI cruise. I appreciate all the information from the seasoned boaters into Canada as this will be my first trip with my C-Dory. A special thanks for the info in traveling with a dog as I plan on...

To keep my kicker from dragging while it is tipped up, I built a mount that changed the mount angle to vertical. See a photo in my album, Nowhere Fast.

I built a cedar strip canoe designed to fit on a roof rack beside my radar post. 10.5' long and extra wide, it can carry two people and my black lab. It only weighs 30 lbs and I can single handedly launch and retrieve it with a removable davit and pulley system that extends the rack. I don't...

Four years ago I bought a 22' cruiser of the same year with similar problems. Your paint looks a little different color than mine but on my boat it was "just" an adhesion problem. I believe the manufacturer did not clean the hull properly in all places. What I noticed on my boat is that some...

But I would need another half hour to blow Dodge when the bad weather arrives!

I'm a strong supporter of electric propulsion but feel the optimal battery/motor/speed/range is still not there. The Arc-1 has a 220kW-hr battery and a 500 hp motor. If you could truly run at 500 hp, the battery would be depleted in less than 35 minutes. Now a boat that size would be launched...

Excellent use of a beer break. Great idea to jack up the bow.

I also repaired the tabbing as per the advice of Dr. Bob.
