Sea Skipper: The purpose of the holes are to hang the foil for painting during manufacture.

Richard: The safest bet is to purchase the original part number washers/o-rings from your engine brand parts dealer. Change both fill and vent plug seals. Fill from the bottom hole until it flows out the top vent hole.

Hi Richard, WHAT? No photos?? I for one would like to see your interior mods of that rare rig and a few nature shots. You have got some talent with a shutter. :photo Glad to hear you are enjoying the modifying and usage of your cruiser.

My bilge pumps are stuck right to the sump decks with 3M-4200. No screws to loosen, rust or leak. A good idea considering the wells usually have water in them with swimming dogs on board. It'll be a minor hassle to replace the pumps when they fail. But until then, no worries...

Sean, I would suggest you P.M. 416rigby (Rick). He is one of the guy's that already did the upgrade. He should still have his old window removed and could give the best measurements off of that. He posted on the first page of this thread.

Checks in the mail. White frame, please. Thanks for your efforts. :thup

Thanks for the tips, guys. The rack is kind of an experiment as is the main purpose to carry a canoe. I was a bit unsure about the attachment/mount method and didn't want to go with higher end wood in case it didn't work out. I was against painting initially. But since the wood is very light in...

I am making a roof rack for a CD22. Nothing fancy, just some pine. I am wondering about waterproofing? Will Thompsons water seal be good enough? Or should I invest in some other type of wood sealer? The boat is usually stored under a boat port when not being used. Thanks for the wood expert...

C-WEED could use more ventilation. Count me in. White, please...

Hi Rick. I got a good deal on a left over 15H.P. is why I went with the 15. My cousin did all the leg work and found it down in Palm Beach, Florida. The shipping was less than the out of state tax I didn't have to pay. Back in 2003 it was the same engine as the 9.9 high thrust and CHEAPER. Just...

Phil, I can't see the front of your kicker too well. But you might be able to fashion a long "L" shaped bar for a tiller. Make it so the short part of the "L" runs parrallel to the front of the kicker. Drill a hole in it and attach up under your current tiller at the pivot point just like the...

In looking at your pictures the swim step was on the port side initially. I feel the best mount for the kicker (for steering movement) is on the starboard side and swimstep to port. This makes a big difference because the tiller handle is already mounted to port on the kicker. And then you...

Not sure about other brands. But the Garmin handheld GPSMAP 76CS has the barometer. When you bring up the "pressure plot" you can see on a graph the rise and fall of barometric pressure over time. A handy handheld, for sure.

Here is another product that works well and cost $2 a can. Berryman B-12 chemtool carburetor cleaner. Recommended for fuel injection, also. Part#0116 (pour can) It can be found at WalMart or Autozone to name a few. I run a can every spring...

Highly recommend the Action Packers. :thup I keep one of the action packers loaded with everything needed for beach camping. They have a decent seal on the lid. Not 100%waterproof but a good lip seal. They are very durable. I stand on mine all the time to step in and out of the boat dockside...

When boat shopping, I passed on not even looking at a few nice used boats because they didn't have the wallas. My mistake. Well, now that I have used one? For $2300 I would take what ever stock stove was available. The new owner pays for it! (prefer the origo alcohol) buy a Honda 2000 geny...

Isn't it great to get a product that works as advertised. :thup

Before you tear it clear down. Start by checking from the pee hole back for a blockage. You should see a few connections inside the cowling. You should be able to disconnect the pee fitting for better flush access. Flex the rubber tubes to loosen any crusted stuff. Use a peice of wire to...

Mike: I too wish I would have climbed in your boat for a closer look at the differences in the angler minus bulkhead. Gotta love the big cockpit. And the Tomcat and the 25 and the 18 that were present. Lots of little details to note and small changes over the years. I just felt uneasy about...

My freshwater only pump is mounted on the aft starboard bulkhead. With the outlet fitting and power switch in the starboard shelf forward bulkhead. Coiled hose is on the shelf. Great water pressure/flow. I would think a simple restrictor would work for the sink. I left the foot pump in place...
