    Fiberglass composition and history.

    No chopper gun ever, only hand laid to my knowledge; No clue on resins; only major change was from a flatiron dory to one with a very shallow v hull - late 80's; and switching from a plywood core to an end grain balsa core maybe at the same time. Others on the forum are much more knowledgeable...

    Are these pix from the same boat?

    The picture matches my boat (2002 CD-22) and labeling is correct (after I switched the lines from the two tanks - the factory guys got it backwards). An explanation for the 180/90 degree dilemma: looking at the lower picture visualize a channel going from the left hand fuel line (at 9 o'clock)...

    Composting toilets vs. regulations

    Note that the regulation is an Ontario regulation and does not apply to the rest of Canada as far as I know. I cruised the Canadian shore of Lake Superior a week to 10 days each summer from 2003 to 2011 with a Thetrford porti potti and no issues. Kept the pp in the cockpit with a blanket over it...

    Classic 22 Project Updates and Questions

    I have twin Honda 40's. Bought the boat new in 2001 with Teleflex no feedback cable steering. Easy to steer and no problems in 15 seasons (about 80 hours per season) but I am only in fresh water - cold clear fresh water (I'm lucky). Jay

    plastic arch above door and windows

    I have an awning rail with snaps across the roof which cracked apart about every 5 to 7 years. It was a clear plastic and I believe it was HDPE. First replacement was supplied by the awning maker (Proctor Canvas in Proctor,MN). For the second one I ordered a custom cut Starboard from...

    Night boating

    1) Figure out how to get to the night mode in gps and radar (read the manual, I have to) and do it at night at least once; I say at night because mine is hard if not impossible to read in daylight when in the night mode; hence, when I finish boating at night, I return it to the daylight mode...

    How many hours between oil changes

    I have 2002 twin Honda 40's, put about 80 hours per season on them and change the oil at the end of the season just before winter storage. Approximately 1100 hours in 14 seasons on them and no problems yet. Jay

    Steal this boat!

    I have a 22 with twin Honda 40's and have no trouble getting on plane with one motor. I have done it with both 11" pitch and 12" pitch four bladed props. My top speed is about 14 smph (gps) and with the 12" pitch and rpm's are at about 4700 (WOT), definitely lugging the engine (with both engines...

    v-berth sleeping - which way

    We sleep across the front. I filled the notch with plywood and foam-in-a-pillow-case. Before setting the bedding up, I note which way the boat lists and make the head side on the high side. My wife is 5-8 and I'm 5-11 and I'm the one sleeping more forward but it works for us. Midnight pee is...

    Entry door key for 2002 22 foot C-Dory and Dinette brackets?

    I have a 2002 with table brackets. The wall bracket has a hole that the table bracket blade button fits into. If that matches your brackets the fix is simple. Often when you remove the table the outer edge gets raised bending the table bracket blades some. The solution is to lower the table with...

    Camper Canvas ??

    I have a Proctor camperback on my CD-22 and am very happy with it except for the awning rail (if that is what it's call, the curved bar with snaps on the rear of the cabin roof). They used a bar of what I think is HDPE (about 1.25"x1.25"x5') and either the sun cracks it at the screwed attachment...

    Twin 40's Prop Question.

    I've got twin Honda 40's on a heavily loaded (not as heavy as Hunkydory) CD22. With 10.8dx12px4blades Solas aluminum props I ran wot at 5400 rpm, 27 smph, and 4.5 smpg. Switched to 11.1x11x4 Solas aluminum and ran wot at 6000 rpm, 26 smph, and 4.3 smpg. Both props with trim tabs and permatrims...

    Trim Tabs or Permatrim

    I had the exact same experience as Casey except with twin 40Hp Hondas. I definitely want both. If starting with one, go with permatrim first. I started with trim tabs, enlarged them, and them made my own permatrim since the ready made ones would have interfered with my trim tab extensions. Your...

    Looking for the right four blade prop for 22 cuiser

    I have a CD22 with twin Honda 40's. Came with 10"D(?)x13"Px3Blades(Honda brand made by Solas) worked good; replaced it with 10+"x12"x4 (Solas brand) and got great gas milage (4.5mpg) but too low rpm at WOT when heavily loaded (frequently); replaced it with 11"x11"x4 (Solas brand) and it gets me...

    Lenco 9x12 edge mounts and permatrim

    I just took the wires over the stern and through the boot into the starboard lazarette. Used wire guides to keep wiring in place and looking neat. Jay
