After I had ordered a gift for my wife, a banner ad for that item, as well as other products from that site, kept popping up on several different sites we visit. I'm sure my wife at least knows what I have been considering for her gift. Plus e-mail messages from the site arrived confirming the...

Earlier posts discussed various fuel tank vent problems and solutions. I posted that I had run my tank vent line from one tank to the other, placed a "T" in that line at it's highest point, and run a single vent from that point to a thru hull fitting mounted high as possible and exiting into the...

Since I started all this anchor discussion a lot of interesting information has been presented. I mentioned 5x1 scope, but I am not really sure of what it actually was. Here is how I actually determine what length of anchor rode to pay out on our personal boats. As I lower the anchor to the...

I have used a stern anchor with one bow anchor on other boats, not the CD. In a narrow cove with a 30' cruising sail boat the stern anchor would eliminate swinging while anchored, but I did not have a strong wind shift. For a while I would use a heavy bow and stern anchor on a 207', 5 deck...

If I had not reset my trip odometer and let that mileage add to my mpg calculations, my overall average would have been great on a 200 mi trip.

I have considered going to all chain, but then I would want a capstan and a way to clean the mud from the chain as I haul it in. With the line, I can haul it in by hand, shake it in the water as I do so to clean off any mud, and clean any mud off the anchor by pulling and dropping the anchor at...

On the cruise ship Dixie and I ran, we used an anchor arrangement much as you describe. Even though almost 200 ft in length, the ship would sail badly on one anchor. Due to the weight of the ship, the anchor would be jerked loose often as it was turned by the wind to sail back in the opposite...

Monday we departed Daytona for a short 2 day cruise down the ICW to the south tip of Merritt Island, then back north up the Banana River, with a return through the Canaveral barge canal to the ICW north back to Daytona. The forecast called for a passing cold front with 20-40 percent chance of...

That's not to say the higher location was all good - I read a few reports of water (spray) getting into the fuel system via the vents. They were simply metal "ells" leading down at 90º and were too high to allow any sort of upward loop in the hose. (I ended up installing the "P-trap" type of...

I goofed in my write-up. You are correct. But that vent is now a few inches higher than where the two vents were originally.

Here is what I did concerning my fuel tank vent problem this afternoon: I installed a new vent line (5/8") from the stb tank to the port tank vent connections. I then cut this line where it passed beneath an opening into the bottom of the battery compartment (stb side) and installed a "T"...

Yes, I am considering placing the vent in the splash well, not the cockpit. I plan to run each vent line slightly "up hill" to the "T", then connect the final single vent line to the "T" and run that thru the large grommet thru which pass the engine control cables, still running "up hill". I...

My 1998 CD 22' has 2 fuel tanks, each with it's own fill and vent connections. Neither tank is transparent. Like has been discussed by several others recently, both of my vents have a tendency to spit fuel overboard just as the tank fills. I have noted fuel spitting out a vent as I drive away...

I've sold 3 boats because it was costing me more to dock, insure, maintain than I would lose on the sale. I even used the money I saved on these costs to buy my next boat, which renewed all these same costs all over again. When I was 39yr old, wife 34, we quit excellent jobs, liquidated house...

After purchasing the CD-22, we decided to sell out 19yr old 20' pontoon boat, trailer, & 40hp 2cy Yamaha engine. We had taken excellent care of it, kept it covered, and it ran like new. I had never bought or sold anything on Craig's List before. It was a Sunday morning. It took only a few...

I used boatus graphics, "Black Chancery" font with grey shadow (left), Black color, dash between C and Way, 8.5" height. The height was a little too much; I almost did not have room for the tail on the "Y", which added to the 8.5" height. The shadow and dash each greatly added to the cost, but...

You were right; I have had major computer problem with many viruses and after getting them removed, things have changed. I had to stop the blocker to post on forum. A new picture is now in my album showing name added to CD. Thank you.
