    Trailer tires pressure

    Over inflated tires and over sprung trailers can and do damage wooden boats. Our fiberglass boats are more resilient but allowing unnecessary road shock is still foolish.

    Trailer tires pressure

    FWIW small trailer tire pressure charts have disappeared from the web. Your copy of Chapman Piloting has one though.

    Trailer tires pressure

    The knee jerk max pressure instruction likely is from the legal side of the tire manufacturers business'. They see liability from overloaded trailers, low tires, high speeds, neglect and stupidity. In the case of sellers and installers, uneducated habits and the near impossibility of knowing...

    Is 50hp too small for a 22’ Cruiser?

    Beware, it will be a noisy and sluggish disaster. I would only buy it if it was priced as if it needed repowered and it does. It will not 'cruise' at the advertised speeds. Cruise implies a comfortable, efficient speed. My 22C with twin 40s cruised at 14 knots. My 2¢.

    Marine oil vs car oil

    The dino vs. synthetic comparison was not exactly oranges to oranges. Our outboards run cool and generally 'make oil' rather than burn it off.

    Anchor

    I'd consider the Rocna Vulcan. No annoying rollbar to look at undereway.

    One of these things is not like another, one of these things

    I've used an aquarium pump to blow air in after digging out all the wet core I could. It doesn't need a big breeze, just enough to keep fresh air moving. Sunshine, a heat lamp or something to warm the surface helps too.

    SOLD - 2005 C-Dory 22 Cruiser For Sale

    Thanks again, Harvey. I think the buyers want to participate in Brat activities, you will like them. I'm getting a quote on a Gig Harbor Boat Works 17' Salish Voyager. They are too new to show up second hand. I just need to find a way to tow it behind the travel trailer, alas it's illegal in...

    SOLD - 2005 C-Dory 22 Cruiser For Sale

    Chester just sold to a very nice young couple. They will make the community proud. Bitter sweet moment. But it's better that the boat will get used rather than sit. I'm thinking of getting a bigger sailing dinghy than my cramped CLC Skerry.

    ALFADAN marine outboard

    Bob, I saw the same HullTruth thread and those guvs dissected the subject pretty thoroughly. Lets just say I wouldn't bet the farm on it.
