I want to see some more of the glassed c-flex. Ready to see it ready to float.

Many use a round prop guard on the kicker that surrounds the circumference of the prop. With that, even if the downrigger cable gets by the kicker, it will not be wound up in the prop.

Many engines have a low oil sensor that will kill the spark when oil is not registering on the sensor. Also, running in that position may starve oil by not allowing the oil pickup to pull oil-- that can damage the engine. I would never try to run any engine anywhere past the shallow water tilt...

I do kind of miss some of the Fishwisher photos and such. Seems like a long time ago. I think he had a hard time with some of the kidding! Good thing you just have 1 rule. Thanks for your efforts on keeping this site going. C-Dory should have long ago given you a commission.😌😌

The latter has a transmission, a straight drive shaft passing through the bottom of the boat, through a support, and having the prop, and the a rudder. That type of drive has very low maintainence issues, except the shaft log (and seal). Main issue with them is similar to the I/O, that being...

Make sure it is in neutral. If so, take the cover off the cam belt and see if it turns by hand. Also try holding the start button while wiggling the shift lever. Could be a neutral safety switch.

Totally agree with Marc. Any carbs disassembled on low use kickers have the same tan colored aluminum oxides precipitates (resembling sand.) this will plug any orifice up to the size of a needle/seat in carb float bowls -- 1/8 inch diameter+-. This indicates reactions between the ethanol and...

Regarding the cruising speed and time -- I believe the lake is closer to 50 miles from recollections. Make sure the life vests are on cause the wind and problems can come up fast there -- when they are bad, you can see it coming -- called something like a "black line". Should be no problem...

Dustin, if you stop at the USFS station in Chelan (a log cabin structure right along the river drive -- turn left when the main road runs into the lake) , they can give you maps and much information. Also, the boat company further down the street where the ferry docks would have info. You can...

Either an air leak somewhere in the fuel intake, or the fuel pump check valve. Low rpm may not provide sufficient fuel to make-up for leak back.

See if the axles are parallel to each other. I suspect that the right side of the pair is slightly closer together than the left . That could be making the tire on the right rear want to turn left, with the result being that the tire is pulling the tire inward, slightly rolling the tire...

Hi Dustin...when you pull the cover off the kicker, and pull the choke lever, watch the linkage and insure that you see a paddle-type lever depressing a button on the top of the carb. That is what primes the motor. Often you can even hear the gas squirt into the carb. You might also try...

Dustin -- the choke operates a bit different than you recall. It is a primer. Pull it out and push it in several times. It depresses a primer shooting some gas into the carb. Then, leave it pulled out and crank it over. Should start right up. If not, there is some crud in the float bowl...

Looks perfect. I've done that on 2 22's. With steering cable connected there is no interference and the kicker can have simple quick connect on front of motor instead of ez steer on the back. Will work on port or starboard sides. There is no problem with"clean water" hitting prop in either...

I think what it does is allows the carb butterfly to close totally, giving it a better vacuum for the engine to suck the fuel to initiate the start. Look closely, and I think you will see that the linkage closes a slight bit more when you go through that scenario. I noticed the same think on a...

Easy fix. Where the discharge enters the boat, run the hose upward a couple of inches, then loop it down to the pump. The upward loop will not let the water enter. I actually did that for the bilge, and for the fuel tank vents, after I found that I got water in my fuel tank that way also. Ron

I have had 3 C-Dorys, and 2 of them did not have caps -- they were just glassed. So, I would say if it was glassed,and gel-coated, it should be fine.
