Just shipped my new boat up from Tacoma, Washington to Anchorage, Alaska. 22 foot cruiser on trailer with 115 HP engine 1/8 tank fuel, no water, maybe 100 lbs maximum of accessories was #4,380 including the tandem axle EZ loader trailer.

I can't say enough about this site and it's members.....seriously. I have owned many boats, but never came close to having the community here on c-brats. Wonderful advice by intelligent individuals who all take the time to share their experiences right or wrong. Heck, just today a gentleman...

excellent advice, thank you. Mounting the vents low sounds like a great idea.

According to the literature on he Espar digital max controller , it has an ambient temperature sensor "Products Description The Digi-Max controller provides an easy to set digital display, an onboard ambient air temperature sensor, an adjustable auto shutoff, adjustable low voltage protection...

Marco, 10-4, the install manual comes with an allowable formula to use for maximum duct runs and fittings. I am using the formula in my run calculations and I will ensure the install is within allowable parameters per Espar. I will be cognizant of the cold air return as well, good point. I...

Thanks Colby. I have checked out your install photos previously while researching installation. Great job!!! Interesting how you installed the mounting bracket. I have been thinking of gluing marine starboard onto the hull and screwing the bracket to that, but we will see when I start...

I am installing an Espar D2 under the galley in my 22' cruiser. I plan to route 1 vent to the vertical surface of the cabinet behind the helm seat. The other vent I would like to run up into the v-berth. Has anyone routed ventilation into the v-berth and if so how did you run the ducting...

great advice, thank you. Darn Gorilla Glue!!!!!

Hello C-brats. 1. On the 2012 C-dory I just purchased, the previous owner used Gorilla Glue to attach quite a few wooden items around the boat that I would like to remove. Does anyone have experience and/or recommendations with removing gorilla glue. I read somewhere that it may have to...

Hi- I just purchased a new to me 2012 C-Dory 22 Cruiser. It has an all metal steering wheel. Does anyone know the size and manufacturer of the stock rubber coated steering wheel? I think the rubber would be much more comfortable in Alaska and I would like to purchase and install a...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I installed a D4 on my north river and didn't put silicone on anything, and never had exhaust leaks. I did find that if the air is still, the exhaust will sometimes be detectable in the cabin. You are correct, I have the cheaper thru hull fitting, not the...

Good day all- I am installing an Espar D2 on my new (to me) 2012 22 foot cruiser. The instructions state that the hole drilled around the thru hull exhaust fitting must leave 3/16" clearance between the boat hull and the thru hole fitting, i.e. I must over drill the hole. What would be...

Kciker bracket is fixed. No articulation

Thank you. The top of the kicker mount is about 4 inches higher than the top of the transom. Any idea if I will need a long shaft or a shot shaft kicker?

Thank you all for the input

The North River was a great boat. Fast, seaworthy, 55 degree deadrise, plow through 3 foot seas. But, I had to own a diesel pickup to pull it. I have a half ton now and I am going back to the c-dory, as I don't want to have to buy another 3/4 ton just to tow the boat. There are plusses and...

Hello C-Brats. I previously owned a 2001 22 foot cruiser. Sold it for a 26 foot north river offshore. Now I am back. Very excited that I just purchased 2012 22 footer. Boy am I excited. Talk about boat fever! I have a few questions I was wondering if anyone had insight about. - this...

Thank you all very much for the replys, this will be very helpful.

This boat was purchased new in Anchorage, from what I have been told. It is currently here in Alaska
