Hey Marco Flamingo, :lol: I don't have on either, but I looked in Defender Marine and they have one made of glass reinforced nylon. My wife is quick and nimble...but she might smack me if I called her a boat hooker. :mrgreen: Ouch! She just read this over my shoulder! Spuncopper

Hey Tyer, I'm running a 2007 Suzuki DF 50. I recently changed from a SS 11 3/4 Dia x 13 Pitch to an Aluminum 11 5/8 Dia X 12 Pitch. the WOT for my engine is 5900 to 6500 RPMs. Loaded out using the SS prop I was pulling 5400 to 5600 rpms. After changing to the aluminum prop it comes in at 6100...

Hey pluscount, You can find telescoping floating boat hooks. One I've looked at adjusts from 53" to 92". This will fit between your seat boxes and the transom on either side. One thing to remember with the CD 16...she's a "lively" boat at idle/ slow speeds. Also, she is light and the pilot...

Hey, If you can't find any markings you may need to take it to a prop shop. Which prop you put on it will depend on how much of weight you normally carry on the boat. Think of things like how many people will you normally carry, how much gas, gear, coolers, whether or not you have two...

Correction here...my anchors are #9's not #13 fluke-style anchors. :)

Welcome aboard pluscount, I have a 2007 CD 16 cruiser too, You can run your transducer cable along the starboard side with control cables to the stern. It will be easier if you use an electricians snake. Be careful mounting the transducer as the larger transducers will affect the handling...

Okay folks, I have, what appears to be a 'simple' project of relocating the two tilt lock pins up one set of holes on my 2007 Suzuki DF 50. It appears I can: Release the pressure on the power tilt and trim Tilt the engine up manually Remove the two bolts holding the lower tilt cylinder...

Hey NW_boater. The same boat is listed here with the owner Puget-Sounder. It's near the bottom listed as 1981 C-Dory Classic 22' For Sale. Good luck! Spuncopper

Oops, double post. Twitchy finger maybe? :?

Check with Defender Marine Outfitter out of Waterford Ct. 800-628-3336, www.defender.com.

Hey guys, I agree with everything said so far. I would also suggest pulling the sparkplugs and squirting some motor oil on top of the pistons. With sparkplugs out you should be able to turn the engines over, by hand, to spread the oil up and down the cylinder walls. (There are oils designed...

Hey Folks, I'll throw my half-penny in for the folks with smaller CDs. My wife and I have ridden out several pop-up thunderstorms, which are common here in the southeast during the summer. We gunkhole on Lake Wateree and are usually anchored in a cove with a bow and stern anchor. When a...

Hey C Brats, I'm running a 2007 Suzuki DF 50 on my CD 16. Over the past year, since adding a second battery and a few other items, I noticed my WOT rpms had dropped to approximately 5600 rpms. The Suzuki was supposed to be running from 5900 to 6500. Discovered I was running a 11 3/4 by 13 SS...

Here's a link : https://www.marinelink.com/news/launche ... esel429899 Looks similar to the prototype engine I saw several years ago.

Hey guys, Yanmar Marine was producing two diesel outboards in the 1980-90s. A 27 hp and a 48 hp. As I understand it there were a few sold up in Alaska. I was receiving information on a German design (Neander maybe?) which was going to be a lightweight turbo charged 50 hp outboard but haven't...

Hey folks, An internet search of Billy Keenan brought up the following: W. Keenan Transport out of Clovis, California. The following webpage provided a profile: http://www.uship.com/profile/billyshaka/ Hope this helps. Take care and be safe, Spuncopper

Hey Folks, Gator Freighters rock! They train to not only deliver Marines to foreign shores but also aiding in disaster relief and if necessary evacuating civilians. Be safe, Spuncopper

Hey Rob, How about that, my FJ 40 was a 1977, too. We spent as much time as we could exploring the sw desert and Baja in that rig. Lots of fun. :D take care, Spuncopper

Hey Foggy, Why the attack on the CD 16 Cruiser? We've had a CD 16 Cruiser going on ten years... it has met or exceeded our needs quite admirably. It's like putting down someone who prefers using a Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 40 and a pup tent to go camping just because you drive a large RV. Be...

Hey DMcD, I, too, have a 2007 16 Cruiser with the 2007 Suzuki DF 50. We have found the DF 50 to be quiet at slow speeds. However, up on plane the noise level bothers my wife; me, not so much... then again I have close to a total high frequency hearing loss. I let my wife know when we're...
