Well this is what I have done to our C-Dory 22 cruiser, not today but since the shut down. I had lots of time to work on things. Disassembled inspected and greased trailer bearings. Replaced water pump, thermostat, spark plugs and changed oil in engine and lower unit of Honda BF 90 Did all...

No experience here with that new 90, but I know you are considering time up in Canada and I thing the Yamaha choice is a good one for going north. (I know there used to be severe hassle with HondaUS and Honda Canada issues. Kind of like taking your new Dodge RAM into the Chev dealer for service...

Thanks guys for the info you have provided on this motor. Apparently not to many C-Brat C-Dorys have been powered/repowered with this motor. I have heard only good things about it from other sources. So we decided to go ahead and repower with a new Yamaha F90LB. The Honda was a good motor and...

We had a 2004 Honda BF90A until very recently. In the six years that we had it we were religious about running non ethynol fuel always treated with Sta-Bil. Even with that, acouple years ago it started to run a bit rough and had a miss at lower RPMs. A guy showed me a trick for cleaning these...

If your eco fan is rattling at any speed, the motor may be worn out (bearings worn or shaft has been bent). You can get a new motor on amazon for about $12. Very easy to change out. will go any speed quietly with new motor. That was our experience.

We have a 2004 Honda BF90A. When we run the solas 3 blade aluminum prop we get a ringing/squealing just a little above an idle while in gear only. this is the speed that we use going in and out of the marinas and it drives me crazy. We have another 4 blade prop that I prefer to run most of the...

Thanks Teufelshunde. The Troll Control sounds like a good feature and I would want it if we get this motor. Is there anyone else out there using the Yamaha F90B or a F115 motor on a 22?

We are thinking of re powering our 2004 22 Cruiser. I am leaning towards the Yamaha F90. They seem to be a popular choice from way back. most of the posts I see when searching the forum are about the earlier version of the Yamaha 90. I am specifically looking for those that have first hand...

Our set up looks very similar to Phil Garner's photo, only we use a stainless steel grab hook to connect to the anchor chain and then tie it off to the cleat. It is easy to connect and easy to disconnect and it has never fallen off the chain. I can stand up in the V birth hatch to connect and...

Harvey We have been using their guides the last 2 summers and have found them to be accurate and very convenient. It is nice to have all their information in a digital format. We have it installed on our ipad that we keep mounted on the dash. The ipad is used primarily for a second chart...

I am in the process of replacing our hydraulic steering on our 2004 22 cruiser. The original system used an older drag link style Baystar hc4600 steering ram. when we first purchased the boat I installed a plate (Honda #53234-zw1-010) on the BF90A that provides a mount for the kicker motor tie...

Here is something to think about when you go to a different prop. Our boat originally came with a four blade composite prop. The boat ran very well with it. We took it for a freshwater bath at lake Crescent WA and about 3/4 around the lake at a 15 kt per hr cruise the motor started vibrating...

I can say that we too have had great success using an ipad without having phone service. We purchased an older ipad for a couple hundred dollars from ebay. it is cellular capable with GPS and has wi-fi. I purchased the Navionics ap a couple years ago and downloaded all the maps I would need over...

Lucky me, I have one. Thanks for the heads up Red Knot

You Can probably get by with 2 wheel drive 90% to 95% of the time, but the one time you needed the 4x4 you will be patting yourself on the back for having it and it really does not cost you that much more and will also give back to you on resale down the road. You will not have the worry of if...

While we have a 22 cruiser and not a Tomcat, We do have the same transducer. We had the same problem and the solution ended up being to position it about a 3/8" lower than the hull instead of even with it as the instructions state. It works perfect now.

We too are hoping to make a trip to Barkley sound. We have considered putting in at Neah bay and making the trip Via Pacific Ocean to Barkley Sound. We have been as far as Swift Sure Bank and that is almost 1/2 way there. It seems doable during periods of Calm water conditions in the summer. We...

Merry Christmas Harvey, and yes it is a white one here in Sequim. Merry Christmas to all C-Brats and to all a good night.

We have used both a three blade and a four blade on our 22. I liked the four blade. It had noticeably favorable handling characteristic around the docks. Seemed to get a good bit more bite in reverse. It seems to run smoother than the 3 blade overall. In a mpg comparison we got about 3mpg with...

I am really not trying to advocate catching two limits in one day. My point is meant to be that it is really hard to try to decipher WDFW rules. I still have not found anywhere in the regulations either in the printed pamphlet or the on line regulations that addresses fishing in the US and...
