addendum: I looked at the pic of the 22 for sale at ?Bayside, and my units look just like those depicted. andy

Let's see: Tom, when weight shifts, the boat moves but the list is quickly corrected such that one notices the movement, but the net effect is about as if a wave rolled the boat once. I frankly have never noticed the effect cornering. Guess I will have to check that out. I would be happy to...

I have had one season's eperience with these trim tabs. They came with my boat, installed by the p.o.. Everything the p.o. did with the boat seems to be first class, at least in terms of no expense spared. They work very well. The self leveling function works fine. If fully deployed in...

Thataway, My apologies for my failure to communicate well. i was trying to say that the PROCESS of propping is the same across motor types and that includes lower unit gear ratios. The article I was referring to suggests that the motor be at the proper transom height [and how to determine...

Roger, I just went thru this last summer with my 2007 Cruiser. I followed the process described in the Verado owners group posting by Glenn on "propping correctly and how to test props" . I got that lead from a thread on this forum last summer on propping. Propping is the same process...

ahhh, the misery of drain screws! I would second thataway's principle that pressure is key. My tool choice is a little different, but accomplishes the same goals of pressure applied in a straight line to the slot. I use a large [that is, LARGE] screwdriver. One which fills the slot. The...

Not a stupid question. Seems to me comes under the heading of "self rescue" I carry a spare prop, and tools, and spare hardware such as thrust washer, nut, cotter pins to change the prop. My reasoning: even with excellent navigation skills, props can hit debris. Also, props fail because the...

I use xd 100. Amazon, 3gal for $108.98. "Free" shipping. Arrived in 2 days. Shipped from western MI which may have expedited arrival, but also meant sales tax was added. I have been impressed by how little oil the motor uses. Much different from my 50:1 mix 2 strokes. andy

Happy to provide input, and I will be very interested in what else is said. My 2007 etec 90 is on a 2007 22 Cruiser. It had about 150 hours on it when I purchased it may 2016, and now has about 210 hours. It has performed faultlessly to date. The p.o. took good care of it, I believe. We use...

Happy to contribute. I was not previously aware of the opportunity, and I may forget........... Reminders at [decent] intervals would be welcome

DMcD, If you have kayaks, you probably have a roof rack............or several........for cars. For my 22 Cruiser, I just used old Thule racks with the feet which clamped on rain gutters. No modifications needed, and they are secure. I have transported a kayak, lumber, a prehung entry door and...

As a principle, potter water has a good point. For us shade-tree mechanics, reproducing conditions after we have made a change holds variables, of which we may not even be aware, constant. If you think it may be a sensor problem, have you considered using an infrared thermometer to check your...

I have never trusted marine gas gauges. If the path from fill port to tank bottom is relatively straight, nothing beats a dip stick to know, really know, how much fuel is in an opaque tank. A dowel works well if the path is very straight. I used an old windsurfer sail batten of fiberglass and...

Following is my experience this past week towing a 22 Cruiser from Miramichi, New Brunswick, to Honey Harbour, Ontario. The distance is about 900 miles. Terrain varies, but is generally flat with mild hills [less than 4% grade]. Roads were in generally good repair and varied from 4+ lane divided...

What could go wrong? Besides "anything", it is usually tires, lights, and bearings, right? You have tires covered Unless you are adept at changing out bearings, how about a spare hub with bearings, seal installed? And remember to pull over and feel the hubs for temp, or use an infrared...

I have made an offer which I am delighted to say has been accepted pending satisfactory survey.

Would like to discuss your boat with you. I emailed via this forum with contact info.

Is this boat still for sale? If so, is your price in CDN$ or US$?
