We went to launch our recently acquired 2005 22-Cruiser today, only to find the battery wouldn't start or tilt the 90HP Suzuki outboard. It appears the culprit was a loose nut holding the ground wire from the outboard to the ground post on Battery 1. But trying to figure this out has me...

I just got my 2005 22-Cruiser back from the shop after discovering the forward edge of the transom was delaminating... the fiberglass was separating from the foam core. I originally thought I had done the damage, but when I looked at photos from when I bought it in Washington, the crack was...

A friend recently pointed out that trim tabs can push the bow down, but only motor trim can push the bow up. That was a break-through in my understanding of how to trim my 22-Cruiser for following seas. I had been simply raising the trim tabs and finding the bow still dug into the wave ahead...

Here is our first dory, which I built from plans in the National Fisherman around 1986. The lofted plans are still under the flooring in our upstairs bedroom, lol. It was 22'with mahogany frames, a marine plywood skin and a layer of epoxy/fiberglass on the bottom for durability, powered by a...

If you dip your boat in salt water, then leave it in the yard... just after midnight and there was a moose licking salt off my C-Dory and trailer.

I brought our new C-dory home yesterday and noticed the bow eye is bent to one side. I am totally baffled... I know I haven't hit anything! The only thing I can think of is I haven't gotten the boat snug to the roller on the trailer winch post because the bow pulls away when the stern settles...

Where is an accessible, out-of-the-way place to mount the fire extinguisher in a 22 Cruiser? I'm thinking left of the knees by the passenger seat.

Does anyone have a solution for sticky sliding windows in the 22 Cruiser? I couldn't get the driver's window open when I brought my boat up from Seattle, but I finally got it opened after a rainy night. It stuck again, but opened on a dewy morning. The passenger side also sticks, but not as...

Who knows a handy inflatable dinghy to fit on the 22 Cruiser? How do you anchor and get to shore?

I thought Garmin's literature said I can download and use free NOAA charts in my Echomap UHD 74sv. Perhaps I misunderstood, because I can find nothing in the manual or menus about doing it. Has anyone discovered how?

I have been nervous about any holes in the hull since I read about the balsa core rotting out in C-Dory transoms. So now, I'm wondering about the fuel tank cover board the seller removed to siphon fuel before my 2005 C-Dory 22 Cruiser went on the barge to Alaska. Similar to this one...

I flew to Montana Friday and completed the purchase of a 2005 C-Dory 22 Cruiser, sight unseen on the recommendation of a good marine surveyor. I've never done such a thing before! Today I rented a U-Haul pickup and towed itt from storage in Shelton, WA to the TOTE Maritime freight terminal in...

I am buying a 2005 22 Cruiser, and getting conflicting reports about whether there are uncored portions of the hull when I could install an in-hull transducer. Has anyone found a good location with no core? I mistakenly put this question in the C-Dory Boats for Sale forum, thanks to Barry Rietz...
