I have been reading the thread on trim tabs and hydrafoils and was considering adding a permatrim to my trim tabs. Is anyone running trim tabs and a permatrim and what is your experience after you have had a chance to evalutate the combination? Cavatation improved? Did you consider raising your...

Bill, count the Chica in! Please post the address asap as we're leaving for the Baja in two days. Donna and Ned on the Chica

Please sign me up for a Studio Suite(one room) for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. Chica

Has anyone contacted The Larkspur Hotel in Renton? I picked up my boat after last year's show, my boat was in the show, and they were gracious enough to extend to me the rate that C-Brats got during the show because I was a member. That was certainly a nice hotel at a great rate. We are hoping...

Finally got Chica in the water with both transducers raised to just level with the bottom. This solved 95% of the problem. Only with the most unrealistic combination of trim-tilt and trimtabs could I get any cavitation at high RPMs. I never would have believed that transducers would have caused...

My trailer is a tandem wheeled EZ Loader. The center roller is the culprit. The supports of the roller are secure and no bolt head or safety chain problems. I'm wondering if I my have cinched the bow to tightly into the roller with the winch and my tie down from the bow eye to the tongue of the...

Has anyone had a problem with the bow roller on your trailer chipping the gelcoat off the bow of your boat? I replaced the black rubber one with a yellow PVC roller and I also cinched the bow down to the trailer tongue with a strap like one uses to secure a four-wheeler to a trailer. Any...

Chica here, unable to test the boat due to heavy winds and worse, low water in the reservoir with no ramps open. Stopped at the Yamaha shop on the way home and the motor guy there said I needed to drop the motor down one hole. I have a lot of options to try after I see what raising the...

Chica here again-Went to see the Honda dealer today(about an electrial problem in the trim switch). I mentioned the problem of cavitation to him and he went outside to view the C-Dory. He quickly noticed that the two transducers that I had mounted were possible too low in the water and suggested...

Chica here again. The 22' angler has had the caditation problem from the first time on the water which was a relatively calm lake here in Montana. Two people in the boat with no extra gear-two fishing poles, tackle box, and a small cooler. On Vancouver Island, three adult males, and a teenager...

The motor and trim-tabs were installed by C-Dory. How do I tell if the motor is deep enough in the water? The motor mounts are not resting on the transom, rather the motor is bolted through the transom. Will check with Honda re. the pitch of the prop. The trim-tabs are 1&1/2 inches from the...

Bill, I assume the default blue is ths C-Dory blue. That's the one that I would like., Thank you, Chica

Bill, order me two in default blue. Chica

I have just returned from the northwest coast of Vancouver Island where I went for the maiden voyage of our new 22' angler. I am a dry lander and this was my first time on the big water. The boat has a 90hp Honda and trim tabs. My problem is that I can not find the sweet spot with any...

Seawolf, thank you for your reply. Starting should be no problem, electric. Steering to the starboard will be troublesome even with the extension handle I have. Throttle control is in the extension and should be do able.Gear shifting will be a stretch. Gas lines will reach and are clear. I've...

I forgot to mention that the 9.9 H.P. yamaha trolling motor has an extra long shaft. Bajadonna on the Chica

I have a 9.9H.P. yamaha trolling motor which I am considering mounting on a bracket behind the port lazerette on my 22' angler. I am afraid the shaft will drag if mounted on the transom. Any thoughts? Bajadonna on the Chica
