    Cleaning rust from stainless

    Harvey If you want to try out a sample before you buy, I have plenty left over. I only used about 3oz. out of a 16 oz. bottle to do all the stainless on our boat. You are welcome to try some on your boat. Just let me know.

    Cleaning rust from stainless

    I am bringing this post back because of a product I found that worked really well on our boat. In early spring I spent a lot of time buffing waxing and detailing our boat. I wanted to use good quality products and since many of you have recommended Collinite wax, that is what I went with. I was...

    Thinking of Going to All Chain

    The chain is not noisy at all if you put a short a short snubber on it. If room allows, I like to let out the 100' of chain and about 5' to 10' of rope. This eliminates the need for the snubber and the rope does not touch bottom or get muddy. Chain comes up much cleaner than a rope lying on the...

    Thinking of Going to All Chain

    We have changed our anchor rode set up several times since we've have had our boat (22 cruiser) and what we have settled on is 175' of three strand nylon with 100' of 1/4" chain using a tapered long splice that I did myself. Before that we had 250' 8 plait and 50' of chain. The 8 plait gave us...

    Bleed Baystar Steering

    I installed a new steering system in our 22 over the winter and used this system to bleed it after install. It worked like a charm and is easy for one person to do without spilling or wasting any fluid. My new Baystar system came with 2 quarts of their expensive fluid, as they figure some will...

    SO WHAT DID YOU DO WITH OR ON YOUR C-DORY TODAY??

    I forgot that I did one other project during the shut down. I installed a freshwater wash down on the boat. This should be really nice while out fishing. Will be able to do a nice job filleting fish right on the boat with this. also will be nice for washing down that new motor. This was a pretty...

    New generation Yamaha F90 opinions

    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...

    New generation Yamaha F90 opinions

    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...

    2005 Honda 4 stroke with carbs. Carb flooding and other

    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...

    wallis blower not working

    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.

    squealing Honda outboard

    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...

    New generation Yamaha F90 opinions

    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?

    New generation Yamaha F90 opinions

    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...

    Securing anchor to anchor roller

    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...

    Salish Sea Covid-19 Closure Status 2020

    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...
