Hello All: A friend of mine at the marina was admiring the non-skid surfaces on my 22- seems to me it is a mat that has been "fiberglassed" into place. My friend has an older boat and he is re-doing the non skid. Has anyone ever bought new non skid for their C-Dory? - if so do you have a...

I keep my 22 in the water all summer and my trailering is very limited. However in a couple weeks I will be hauling the 22 with a 90 HP Honda on a 1000 mile trip. I see in boat magazines ads for engine supports when trailering - looks like it hooks on to the trailer and lower unit and takes the...

Does anyone know whether gas in Canada is blended (or infected) with ethanol. I am cruising the Rideau in less then a month and would like to avoid mixing different blends of gas. Thanks for any info. Ken

Didn't hit the lottery but I want to install a nice system with two speakers. Would be interested to hear/see how other folks arranged the installation in their 22 C- Dory. Thanks Ken

I have an 01 Honda 90 - the owners manual that came with the engine shows on the back of the engine just below the engine cover a round black plastic plug that can be removed (pops right out with a screw driver) - once uncoverd there is a connector for a rinse device called a "water hose joint"...

I trailer my 22 infrequently but am looking to do a little more - the Honda book for my 90 suggests using a brace when trailing the boat - I suspect to minimize strain on the transom. This recommendation is something most of you do? if so what brand of brace did you use and where did you...

Very thought out and informative - Two thoughts: 1. With the new additive in gas - been given us in NJ troubles -the recommendation is now to leave your gas tanks empty over the winter since the gas deteriorates quickly even with fuel stabilizer. 2. With fuel stabilizer running through your...

Just got my 22 out of the shop for dirt in the fuel system. The dealer noted on my bill that I had a "wine" (not the drinking kind) in the drive shaft. Told me that salt (I boat in the Atlantic) can get up there and crytalize. It needs to be dis-assembled and cleaned?? As I understand it when...

Just got my boat out of the shop - Was a victim of the dirt in the carbs as the result of the new fuel. The dealer noted I had a drive shaft whine - probably caused by salt getting up in the shaft - something that did not require immediate address but something that should be resolved by...

On the port side of my 01 22 foot is a compartment with a drain that I am sure is used for fish - I do not fish (don't eat fish) - wondering what other owners have utilized this compartment for besides fish - just trying to consider the possibilities. Thanks Ken

Hello Out there: Just replaced a blown navigation port light - When checking to make sure that everything was working noticed on my 01 22 that the port and starboard navigations lights do not come on unless the anchor light is on. Never noticed that before since when cruising I put the three...

Hello All: I think it is time to install some window screens - I have seen the home made "jobs" of velcro - I guess they do the job but I am wondering has anyone come across and installed a more custom looking screen? Sure like to hear about any products you were happy with - The...

Hello All: I am thinking that I will join you folks for this Cruise -Rick, Master of Hunky Dory, told me in 2005 it was a good cruise. Reading through the posts I am not sure things are finalized as to date and location - Do we have a plan/itinerary? Ken

Hello All: I keep my 22 in the water all season (May to November) @ the Jersey Shore. Last year I kept the brass device used to rinse the engine screwed in - also fitted it with a screw in cap to keep a seal. After each use attached the hose to it and the engine received a good rinse; however...

Greetings everyone: I am almost too embarrassed to ask this question/tell this story. While painting the bottom of my boat I hooked up a battery to move my engine to the up position. The cabin suddenly filled with smoke and I quickly shut off the battery switch, disconnected the battery and...

I keep my 22 in the water from April to November and pull it out to Trailer it for a couple trips. I have had the best luck with a muti season Ablative Paint. Not much sanding or prep is required in the spring for re-painting if you power wash in the fall. Plus with ablative paint you do not...

Quick question (posted it the first time by accident on the Brat map forum). I am planning to convert my bunk trailer to rollers - four "banks" eight rollers each. Have a pro doing the set up so that should not be a problem. Any issues I need to worry about concerning conversion of a bunk...
