Welcome! Avoid the 2-3 footitis & get a 25 :lol: any/all of them are great boats :thup

Easy check is, how far you can move the wheel in either direction before the motor moves. Without any air in the system when you move the wheel at all the motor moves. Where did the fluid go that you replaced? I would check the seals at either end of the steering cylinder for any oil, also the...

22# Lewmar Claw works for me in all bottoms I have tried it in, sand, mud, gravel, rocks, what ever, so far? I switched to 100' of chain also a few years back. In my experience the amount of chain is as important if not more important than anchor type. YMMV :thup

I have found outdated parts & complete take out units at the local commercial fishing electronics sales & repair stores. Worth a trip to google or yellow pages if they still exist?:thup

https://marinetech.com/ Bought a Seastar bleeder kit from these guys for a whopping $28.00 Works fantastic :wink: Check out some of their utube vids on seastar seal replacement , trim & tilt cylinder rebuild. Great tools, Great video & great info. :thup

What a great guy :monty :thup

King / rockfish / halibut carcasses make fantastic crab bait :thup Make sure all your info is on your buoy set up, the Troopers & Park ranger are being very picky this season. :wink: :thup

Se if you can find a Factory service manual to download on line or pony up at your local dealer , it will have step by step procedures to replace your seals. Good luck on your project :thup

I always leave the lower unit in the water when below freezing. Water temps will be far greater than aimb. for a couple more months any way. The engine will stay warm when you shut it off for plenty long enough for water in the block to drain :thup I have had a boat sitting in the Homer Harbor...

Just a reminder if you choose to use the "muffler" that may or may not come with the China heater WELD UP THE SEAM so NO EXHAUST LEAKS INTO CABIN!! :thup

I think all of the "LIBTARDS" SHOULD MOVE TO CANADA where the can feel all warm & fuzzy & safe :thup

I have installed 2 of these in friends boats. First one lasted 2 yrs & aprox 600 hrs. it was replaced last month, second one was installed 2 months ago they work as advertised are no more or less noisy than the Wabasto, Espar etc.. :thup At the price they are a throw away if problems occur. :wink:

Great, I have been running my DIESEL STOVE on Kerosene for about 2000 hrs. I also have used Jet A, & #2 pump Diesel(aka stove oil) there isn't much difference other than freeze pt. (when paraffin drops out)! In warmer temps #2diesel will be perfect. Also run all of the above in the truck. :thup...

Lugging the engine is hard on crankshafts, bngs, pistons etc. Think starting out in 4th gear on your PU with a manual trans. You have WAY too big of prop I would go down in pitch about 4 steps & try it.

probably a 11 pitch to get you to 5500rpm or so :thup

Isn't there a floatbowl drain also? :thup

Not normal for a crack along the bottom of transom. Pictures are worth a thousand words :thup

Why not clean fish out on the water & only pack meat home? Not trying to be a smartass(witch is unusual) just asking. :thup

Looks familiar :thup

And its not just C-dory, most boats are a pos to fill. When I replaced the tanks on my 22 I made the fill hose about 6" shorter on both sides making a pretty much straight shot into tanks. That helped a bunch. Also removed the kink the factory had in the vents. :thup
