I researched many ac options and ultimately went with the low-profile coleman cub. I could not be happier! I plug in my honda 2000 with long run tank and sleep very cool all night. I understand the first post was looking for other options because of the looks of RV ACs and I agree but the pros...

Have any of you used one of the Mr. Buddy Heaters? I found a few on clearance at the local wallyworld for 68.00. The box states that it is safe for indoors with a low oxygen shutoff and it is supposed to heat up to 200 sqft. Where I boat I rarely need much heat and when I do it is at night...

(All boaters should have a spare prop) Yes!! I do now. Two weeks ago my wife and I were on a trip from Mobile to Destin Florida for 5 days. The trip was going great until my boat started to vibrate. After diagnosis I had hit something and broken a blade off of my port engine prop. We limped...

Thank you for your reply. I hope it doesn't happen again but it's good to have a plan if needed.

Long story short. Over the weekend my wife and I had a lightning storm come through around 2 am. Normally I would seek shelter but this was the first time we encountered a storm while sleeping. We were in a protected cove (from waves and wind) but obviously not lightning Any suggestions on...

Hello all. I am planning to install a garmin intelliducer over the next few days. I plan to use a "stern saver" for the transducer installation so I will not screw into the hull "using 4200" Any suggestions on attaching the wire for the transducer? I plan to run the wire into the splash-well...

So like a home window screen. Thank you and I will try it this evening.

Long story short my 2 year old pushed the screen out of the window. I need to remove the screen frame to properly replace the screen. I can't seem to find a logical way of removing the screen frame. Any suggestions/ am I just missing something when I am looking at it? Thanks Coach

Hey guys, this is my second season owning the 22. The first summer my wife and I spent many hours on the boat and loved it. The only drawback was the ride and the pounding in chop. I did research the boat and even visited Dr. Bob before we purchased the boat so I was well versed in the...

Thank you all for your help on the decision to install permatrims. Over the winter I installed them (very easy installation by the way) and this past weekend my wife and I took her out for a weekend getaway. The boat performed fabulous and I was thoroughly impressed. It was windy most of the...

As usual thank you all for the great advice. I will be fully diagnosing the problem this weekend and hope to have a fix soon. Thanks again Coach

Over the past few weeks I installed a VHF radio and a Stereo. I wired each to separate circuits on the fuse panel. All work well, but the next day my house battery was dead. (Did not leave radio or stereo on) I charged the battery and disconnected the Stereo 24 hours later dead battery...

Thank you all for the info. It looks like I'm going to install permatrim and if needed tabs later. I understand there are different brands or type of permatrim. Is permatrim the gold standard? If so where to buy them? I went to a permatrim website but I think it was based out of New Zealand...

I have a 22 with twin 50 hondas. I am considering trim tabs but I see that many of you guys have permatrim installed. Are permatrims used on twin engines? I don't necessarily want trim tabs if permatrims have good results. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks all for the help. I am still diagnosing the problem but I think I have one portion solved. Jenny Katz suggestion of low power maybe part of the problem, I didn't think about this but I ran the stereo for several hours while installing the vhf (low battery) could be the problem when I...

I'm not sure if I did or not in hindsight. I don't think the unit has a direct ground it has a positive and negative wire which I connected to the bus. Do most stereos have another ground?

Today I installed a stereo, two speakers, VHF radio and antenna. I connected the stereo and VHF to a dedicated circuit on the bus. The stereo played great and the VHF turned on and seemed to do well until I pressed the mic on the VHF. At this time the stereo went crazy, volume went up...

Thank you all for the advice. As some of you stated the gunnel would have enough support for the bracket. I want to be clear about exact gunnel placement. Would you say just above the rub rail or just below? I don't think the bracket and ladder would work mounted to the top of the gunnel...

Hello, guys I need some advice. I have twin 50's and I plan to add a removable dive ladder but I need advice on placement of the bracket. Is starboard just behind the cabin a suitable place? I was thinking that I could use the existing handle for help entering the boat. My wife has a...

I am looking to put trim tabs on my boat this fall. Any suggestions on the size of tabs? My choices will be between Lenco and Bennett. I know each has its pros and cons. I have a 22 cruiser with twin 50 Hondas. Any input would be appreciated. I also have a side question: I have a few...
