My 2008 22' cruiser had a similar problem. It has the glassed in floor in the cockpit and water was accumulating under that and creeping into the cabin through tabbing that had pulled loose from the hull. I traced the water source to the screw holes holding the fiberglass gas tank covers to...

Thank you, its kind of weird being a newbie at my age but us newbies count on you old timers to show us the important things. We'll post the photos.

I posted some photos from the extravaganza in my photo album. The text string was too much for my poor phone...

Thanks for all the tips, I bought some contact cleaner and will give it a try. I've thought about dielectric grease but my truck sees lots of dusty roads and the cover on the trailer hookup doesn't keep all the grime out. I'm concerned the grease will just turn to mud, anybody have that problem?

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.

Hi Jim, Just sent in my check. I'll provide chips and dip. If anyone has special preferences or particular dislikes, please let me know. Karl

I have a CD22 and a 90hp Suzi, 2008 (last year of the older style). The boat came with a three blade 14" dia, 19" pitch prop which I considered a bit too much as WOT only reached 5200rpm. I switched to a four blade 13.75" dia, 15" pitch prop which may be a tiny bit under proped for a light...

Congrats on the tuna, that will be great eating. I'm looking forward to the trip and a few pointers on striper fishing.

I would like to join the adventure. Would a well behaved dog be welcome? I will need some advice on where to launch and park my trailer, I'll be driving down from Glide Oregon.

I towed my 22' cruiser with a Tacoma with the V6 and tow package (rated to tow 6500 lbs). I have electric over hydraulic brakes and frequently towed from Roseburg to the coast and back (windy and hilly roads) as well as up to Sequim WA. When I purchased the boat in Blaine WA I towed it home...

Since aluminum trailers were brought up, I have a question about them. Does anyone mount anodes on them to counteract potential corrosion near the steel axel?

I agree with HellsRanger. I keep my boat a Winchester Bay, Oregon for two or three months in the summer -- on a trailer the rest of the year. I use the boat quite a bit, two days a week unless ocean conditions are too rough. I do have bottom paint but have learned that I have to protect...

I'm on Douglas county jury duty for the month of May but I ask for the 15-19 off and they excused me for that period. I was supposed to travel to Hawaii to work on submarines but that trip got canceled so I may head to the Owyhee. My June is pretty booked up so I need to do it now.

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

Last year I used Pettit Prop Coat Barnacle Barrier and it worked well although has already worn through in some areas of the trim tabs so I will add another coat this year. Which Collinite wax did you use on the transducer? Does it prevent barnacles and green growth?
