I'm sure the expertise of this group can give me some clues about where to begin with this problem. While cruising in Tomales Bay yesterday evening, I suddenly noticed that the prop on my port Honda 50 was not turning. I was backing up out of some shallows when I saw that the tachometer...

I have twin Honda 50s and noticed yesterday that the port tilt (showing the position of the motor) gauge is not working. Most likely due to a bad connection at the battery? Thanks for the help.

I know bottom paint has been covered in detail on this site, and I read through many of the posts, but I wonder if anyone knows anything about some of the newer, supposedly less toxic bottom paints. It's time to repaint the Rosy B, which is in the salt water almost year round, and I'm debating...

Just curious--how many of you keep your boat in the water all or most of the year? What made you decide to do so? Or change your mind after having done so?

In an exuberant moment, my friend somehow broke off the the handle that tightens the hinge arm on the centering opening window on my 2004 22 cruiser. Now , of course, the window can't be left in an open position. Does anyone know where I should try to get a replacement. From the factory...

A question for this knowledgeable group... I have twin Honda 50s on my CD22. For the second time yesterday, I had difficulty starting my starboard motor after I had turned it off for approximately 45 minutes of trolling for salmon with the port motor. It seemed to be getting plenty of juice...

I was very disappointed to discover some rot in the balsa core of my new C-Dory. I bought my 22 Cruiser in August of 2004. I have kept it in a slip at a marina here in Bodega Bay, on the northern California coast. Although the boat was not covered, the bilge pump was functioning throughout...

Has anyone ever journeyed to Bahia de Los Angeles with a trailer and boat? We're thinking about a trip there and wondering about the road condition, launches, etc. Lots of Internet info, but first hand experience is always the best... Thanks

I'm wondering if anyone has tips for maintaining a 22 cruiser to be kept in a slat water slip--Bodega Bay, CA. Especially flushing my twin Honda 50 Motors. How often do they really need to be flushed? Best technique to prevent salt water intrusion while flushing? Also, maybe a silly...

We received the Rosy B, our new 22 cruiser, last week, and I have been having great fun learning systems and getting on the water for the first time this weekend. I have a couple of concerns, however, and given the collective experience of this group, I was hoping for some advice. The first...

Here's a silly question for the dog owners: We are going to be taking our dog with us on trips. We chose the twin motor option, so we are having a side mount swim step installed. We are wondering how we are going to get our dog (a strong swimming labrador) back on board if we anchor and go...

I'm thinking about installing my own electronics system on my new cruiser. What I'm leaning toward now is the Furuno 1723C Navnet setup with radar, chartplotter, and GPS/fishfinder interface. And the VHF radio and antenna. I'm not an electrician, although I worked as a carpenter for several...

As a neophyte boater who is now trying to decide on the vast array of electronic choices for my new 22 cruiser, I find myself a bit bewildered. The representative at Maritime Electronics about has me talked into a Furuno 1723C color radar/chart plotter unit, which also has a depth sounder/fish...

This is the second try to post a message--excuse me if this is a repeat. I recently ordered a 22 cruiser which is currently being built. It's my first boat, so I'm taking a great leap into the unknown! I have been a passionate ocean kayaker for years, however, and I am interested in having...
