I has 6 rod holders, not 5.

I have one that I took off my 22' cruiser that I am willing to sell. It has 5 adjustable rod holders.

The plate is made from two pieces of 3/4" hardwood plywood epoxied together and the angled mounts are cut from a cedar 2x6. It is painted with Petit Easypoxy that I tried to tint to match the gel coat (but over did it!). It is through bolted to the transom.

I recently bought a new propeller for my boat so my old one will become my spare. How do you store your spare propeller so it doesn't get dinged up or damage other items? I have large compartments under my V berth so I have plenty of storage.

I made a custom kicker mount that raised it to the correct height, kept it away from the trip tabs, and compensated for the angle of the transom (~14 degrees). This allows the kicker to tilt up higher when not in use and keeps it from dragging in the wash when I am heavily loaded. I added a...

Kicker Mount

I did not see a lot very useful on this app!! There are better weather apps and better buoy data apps. Does anyone know of an app that lists local bar restrictions?

If no one else has taken you up on that offer, I certainly will. Please PM me your mailing address and I will have the stamps on the way. A trip like that was done in reverse in 1939 by Buzz Holmstrom when a lady hired him to row her across North America! Buzz Holmstrom from Coquille Oregon...

I just found this thread, love to read, and now have some great titles to look for. I will add two more: "Where the Sea Breaks Its Back" by Corey Ford, the epic story of early naturalist Georg Steller and the Russian Exploration of Alaska. "Fishing With John" by Edith Iglauer, living and...

I've had a few interesting experiences crossing in and out of BC. For years I took a month off in August/September to fish for steelhead on Vancouver Island, the Dean river, and Skeena country. Once coming back, US customs started a bit suspicious because I was alone, claiming to have been...

My boat had two fiberglass plates that were screwed into the lip of the splash well and screwed into the step in the cockpit shoe. This leaked water into the bilge. I patched the screw holes and have just left the gas tank covers off. Is there a reason to cover the tanks other than looks?

The C-Dory web site lists 9'1" for the height on trailer for a CD-22, if that helps.

My CD22 with dual axle steel trailer, 90 hp Suzuki, and kicker, gas tanks half full weighed 4100 lbs.

Is there room for another newbie? Sounds like a great get-together. I dread the thought of trailering through Seattle so I would like to start south of there. Is there a good launch and a place to leave a truck and trailer on Hood Canal?

I had a similar problem on my 22' cruiser. It came with optional larger and taller steps that fit over the standard molded in steps. They were screwed down and 'sealed' with some kind of adhesive. I decided to remove them as they seemed to take up too much precious cockpit room -- always in...

I recently added a fresh water wash down in my CD22 that seems to work well. When I bought the boat it had a non-functioning raw water wash down system, the sea cock was not marine rated and the handle had corroded away. The pump was mounted low on the transom between the two gas tanks, it had...

Ouch! I live in rural SW Oregon and, while land use planning is pretty strict, permits for my boat house were a little over $300 total and inspections were quite cursory. I did everything to code, supposedly that building will survive the 'anticipated' Cascadia earth quake -- which my 1920 farm...

My 22' Cruiser came with a 'custom' radar tower with and anchor light above which made it to just over 10' so I had to go with a 12' door on my boat house (too many boats or, as a friend puts it, I'm boat poor . . .). Well, the high walls meant I had to have building engineered to get a permit...

The new boat house, almost done

I have a rod rack for sale that I removed from my 22' cruiser. It was mounted on the roof just forward of the cockpit and consists of a stainless steel arch and 6 stainless steel (or chromed brass -- not sure) vertical rod holders.
