Adding a manual bilge pump that is. Chica

Have been out of the loop for a while. Not real happy with the bilge area and my Rule bilge pump on my 22' Angler. Switchs always seem to be a problem, whether on auto or manual. Have considered adding a manual. Any thoughts? Thanxs Chica

Earlier this year I put an E-Tec on my 22' angler. I started with a 19 pitch prop but was unable to reach the recommended 5500-6000 RPM's and a switch to 17 pitch did not get me there either. Next year I'll try a 15 pitch, "Thanks Coop's Cruiser". At 4150 rpm's I run at 29-31 mph, fast enough...

Wondering where those with a 22' crusier or angler placed the base plate for a Brutus puller. I have Penn downriggers and a Scotty base is necessary for the Brutus, which does not fit the gunnel. I was looking at the area aft of the lazaret (sp). Suggestions. Thanxs, Chica

I have a 22' angler with a 90HP Honda but am considering upgrading to a 115HP Honda or Yamaha. I thought I had heard or read that C-Dory increased the maxium HP specification. True? I see that some C-Dories are running 115's. C-Dory has not answered my e-mail yet. Thank you, Chica

Several months ago there was a post on prawning/crabbing. A responder mentioned a connector for joining together several lengths of rope. I remember he said that it was as easy as clapping your hands together. I think he said he obtained the connecter at Longs Marine in Valdez in Alaska. I am...

Does any one have any experience with the circular, double tube, self inflating, canopied life rafts? I mostly fish off the northwest corner of Vancouver Island and with salmon season approaching my thoughts go back to one day last season when the mate and I were 10 miles off the canal bouy, in...

I would like to acquire any information available ( books, previous posts, internet sources, personal preferences etc.) on prawn trapping. Thanks, Chica

Just a reminder to all C-Dory owners that have a washdown system onboard. Don't forget to blow out the water from the pump and hose as you prepare your boat for winter or next spring you may find fractures of the pump housing and hose. Unfortunately I speak fro experience. Chica

On the third day of use my motor started to vibrate, stopping and raising the motor showed one of the blades had broken in the middle. I was two miles off shore, but was lucky to have a trolling motor and the original aluminum prop. Found an island with a sandy beach and replaced the damaged...

For a real treat, try Carmen Macdonald's salmon chowder found on page 38 of September's issue of Salmon Trout and Steelheader. Easy and very good. Chica

Just returned from Vancouver Island where I encountered a problem when my GPS module failed to respond when near boats using their radars knocked my antenna out. ("GPS module not responding") shows up on your screen. If this happens, disconnect the GPS antenna cord, the center one on the back of...

Last year I had a problem with caviatation or ventilation, I'm not clear on the difference, but thought I had this improved with raising my two transducers which were mounted too low in the water. After doing alittle reading I though I might help my remaining caviatation/ ventilation with a...

I finally got my forms from the FCC to make me legal in Canadian waters to use my VHF radio and radar, when I get one. Is there anyone who can give me a "heads up" on filling out the forms? An e-mail address or phone number would be appreciated Chica

Getting ready for the summer fishing, I thought it would be a good idea to have an extra fuel line connector. Being in the area of the nearest Honda dealer (60 miles from home), I stopped to get the connector. I was told that they would need the serial number and model number of my 2003, 90HP in...

I'm looking for a permatrim for a Honda 90. I called John Jensen but he is out until his next shipment arrives in 6-8 weeks, if there is no problem with customs. He has ones for Johnson's and Mercury's but no Honda's. My problem is that I'm leaving for Vancouver Island in 8 weeks. Chica

I have been reading the thread on trim tabs and hydrafoils and was considering adding a permatrim to my trim tabs. Is anyone running trim tabs and a permatrim and what is your experience after you have had a chance to evalutate the combination? Cavatation improved? Did you consider raising your...

Has anyone had a problem with the bow roller on your trailer chipping the gelcoat off the bow of your boat? I replaced the black rubber one with a yellow PVC roller and I also cinched the bow down to the trailer tongue with a strap like one uses to secure a four-wheeler to a trailer. Any...

I have just returned from the northwest coast of Vancouver Island where I went for the maiden voyage of our new 22' angler. I am a dry lander and this was my first time on the big water. The boat has a 90hp Honda and trim tabs. My problem is that I can not find the sweet spot with any...
