So you basically ignore the manual? :shock: But just this part of the manual, right? 8) -- Chuck

Strange advice... The Honda 40/50 operator's manual specifically states to "leave the engine in the normal operating position if possible." (Page 81 of my manual.) On the same page is notes that if you don't have ground clearance and have to tilt the engine that you need to use a motor...

1. Who knows what power you really need on these. I have a Honda 50 on mine and she runs a couple MPH faster than the factory chart shows for the 40. No one has yet published the torque curves for these engines so any comments the 40 has more torque at lower rpm than the 50 are spurious. 2...

Bill -- Can you post the model number of the propeller on your 16 Cruiser? Thankx, -- Chuck

Our drain plug is always installed from the inside. If it "falls out" it'll still be in the boat somewhere. -- Chuck

I have no experience with outboards in salt water, but do with auxillary engines on sailboats. Salt is not only corrosive, it will precipitate out of the water in solid form and clog the cooling passages in your engine. Inboard engines used in salt water ideally use a heat exchanger (a...

C-Dory hulls are going to sell for full MSRP regardless of where you are. This is a high demand item, there's no reason for the dealer to discount them. You don't like the green one in stock? Tough :wink:. You'll have to wait months for one to be ordered in for you. Engines are a commodity...

There are photos of my single Honda 50 mounted Permatrim in Amelia Anne's photo album. This replaced the Honda-packaged SST hydrofoil I use last season. The lift from the SST foil made for some very strange handling in turns and the boat would often take a heel and stay there. Permatrim...

Ummm, trim tabs on a 16 Cruiser? -- Chuck

Why have that little rod there at all? -- Chuck

Who engined the boat? Is the propeller deep enough in the water? Are you bringing the stern out of the water with the tabs? 8) -- Chuck

Look at an electrical activator for the hydralics. This replaces the surge fitting and will allow you to fit an electronic brake controller to the tow vehicle. There are new proportional controllers for these, like the Tekonsha Prodigy which offer much better braking than any surge system...

I want to mount a fuel flow meter on my lil 16 Cruiser but I'm not sure the only blank space in the tiny dashboard is big enough or the angle will allow the gage's depth to fit. Rather than cut a 3-1/8" hole and find out it doesn't work I'm considering an instrument pod affixed to the ceiling...

How do ya sleep on a 16 Angler? I guess where? is a better question. -- Chuck

As usual the first response is to "buy a 22 footer." As if everyone has $45K+ to drop on a boat. :roll: I'd love a 22 footer. My daughter is eying private colleges... The 16 is a great little boat. Operative word is little. We have a 16 Cruiser and love it. She's done everything we've...

Just a vent won't do much, you need a way to get air IN as well as OUT. Full mooring cover and dry storage keeps us dry, but on our docked boats I've always used a combination of solar/battery exhaust vent (out) and a louvered companionway hatch at the other end of the boat (in). Teak louvered...
