I have a kind of generic question: Is there a rule-of-thumb for good placement of guide-ons on a boat trailer? I have a new Gheenoe for use on the lake at our winter house in Florida, and I need to install guide-ons on the trailer, which I never have thought about before. Way back, there is a...

1990 CD22 in Syracuse NY $21500 listed as 9/9/14. Has Evinrude eTec etc. Strange place to list it, but they seem to be aiming at retiring sailors; I can dig that. The ad says it also is posted on Craigslist. Might be worth a look for prospective CBrats. I have no association with this boat. Rod

Here is the new URL for BC Windmaps. It gives links to mouse and tablet versions to replace/supplement the old site. Tapping on a data site gives you names, recent data, etc., for each. Tap again on the box to get rid of it. Trés cool!! Rod On edit by Da Nag Per site owner, see link info in...

Another Superpod sighting in the Southern Gulf Islands. This piece contains a link to the other sighting last week in the Strait of Georgia. Rod http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c ... 37?cmp=rss

I have been plagued by poor telltale flow since I got Luna. Sid, our island guru, has done two Saltaway treatments, each of which helped a bit, but no cure. Next, he replaced the impeller, although when opened up the existing impeller was OK. Then he took off some kind of cover and could do...

I want to install an external socket in the cockpit so I can plug Luna into 110V shore power. The trouble comes when I have a hole made (about 3cm) and no way to get behind it. The places I might use are all out of reach to me unless I want to remove about all the interior liner from that side...

Hi Brats, Captain Jane and I are proud to announce the arrival of our new 1999 CD16 cruiser, Luna. I picked her up from Ryan at Sportcraft in Portland, and towed her home (Seattle, at least for a while) in time for our anniversary. She has kept company in the Sportcraft yard with dotnmarty's...

It seems like there is a flurry of interest in CD16s lately. Congrats to dotnmarty on their new boat -- we were coinsidering a trip to Portland to see her. We saw the 16 cruiser in Seattle. The commercial OMC is a detuned 60HP according to Chuck (the owner.) We are looking for a 16 also, and...

Hi Brats, I have listed NoddyBleu in CDs for sale forum. Rod

2007 C-Dory 22 Cruiser -- $45000 2007 Road King dual-axle aluminum trailer with extra hub & wheel; 4-wheel disc brakes; float-on guides 2007 Honda EFI 90 hp outboard (120 hours) with SportFin 300SE in no-drill mount. Photos and video of this boat being tested at the Miami Boat Show by...

Hi Cutty Sark, Looking through your photo album, I was struck by that white plastic downrigger mount; you mention a source called "offshore?" (Is "offshore" into plastics or into fishing? :?: ) Jane got me a used manual downrigger for Christmas that seems to have several bases attached to it...

Hi Brats, I'm always interested in ways to improve docking, and ideas of bow and stern thrusters often come to mind -- but how much can you load on a CD22? An electric trolling motor on the stern/swim platform might work for a stern thruster, but at the bow the geometry would be tough to work...

Hi Gulf Coast CBGT-ers, I've boated there for a long time and was glad to see Osprey's pictures. I'm always interested in trim, speed and planing in order to maximize fuel efficiency (is anybody not?) so I have general questions about the pictures of Falcon and Ashley Lynn. Notice the...

Hi Brats, Maybe it is me and my limited computer skills, or some Gremlin in the bowels of my PC, but has anyone been plagued by big, black bars that cover parts of pictures in the recent postings? When I try to view postings of albums, very often pix are partly masked by black lines (narrow to...

Hi Brats, I know that I can't say much because I have no pictures to show. However, I dearly love to look at the new and updated albums that show up every day. Scenery, fishing and travel albums need little more than a title, or where you are to be immediately captivating. However, boat mods...

Hi Brats, I need some advice or comment on my low speed handling problems! Coming up to start docking manoeuvers needs a right turn into the aisle and then an immediate left turn into my slip, bringing the finger pier onto my port side. As I take that right, I have to be concerned about a big...

Hi Brats, Finally back to BC and getting ready for the water. An electrical question: with a small solar panel plugged into the cigar lighter, does my main battery switch need to be on to get charging? The CO detector beeps every minute or so, with the main switch off. Is that because it is...

Hi everyone, We are new owners of a CD 22 cruiser, and have been reading c-brats postings for a while before we actually got our boat. Valkyrie, we have the boat that was at the Miami boat show which you mentioned, and in that boat test video associated with it. We got the boat from Wefing's...
