Scott, amen on the choke-addled Tohatsu. I have the same issue, and have even had it to a dealer in years past to try to have it corrected. Once it gets warmed up it runs like a champ but runs wild while it is getting set. Dealer was able to make it better but not right. Otherwise, it is very reliab...

Thumbs up on the Tohatsu 6hp. I have used one for about five years and never had any problem. Bought mine online and it was delivered two days later. I believe "online outboards" somewhere in Tenn. Jeff

Porter, Welcome (almost) to the Chrysler fleet. They are great, well built boats which seem to last forever with little work. That said, do you enjoy working on fixing problems with a boat? There are those among us who get a great deal of satisfaction from tackling a project and seeing it through. I...

Water, water, everywhere except under my boat.

Hi All, I need a comment or two on letting the 22 sit in mud all winter with the keel about halfway down. Not that I have much choice at this point as the water level in my lake (Lake Norman, NC) has dropped dramatically and very quickly and is off by many feet from 'full pond'. So, it looks as if t...

Hey Briceburg, Are you sure the rudder is down and not up? If up, you can see it under the stern and that will give you some noticeably different steering. You mentioned the 'up and down' lines, and I guess the 26 is the same as the 22, so if they are missing, maybe the rudder is always up and not a...

Sailorman, Have you sold the tiller and hardware. If not, I just broke my tiller mount and can surely use the entire thing. Let me know at jeffbergmann@hotmail.com and I'll get with you about payment.

Terrence, it looks to me like you have a sailboat hull on a regular type bunk trailer. Not enough support for the hull where it lays on the bunks and the hull is crushing in. It will eventually crack and cause more trouble than it is worth. Is the boat strapped down in the back? If so, release the t...

Excellent and timely advice. I moved up too close to a small island this past weekend and got into some shallow water. I backed off using my kicker and was doing just fine when I let go of the reins.
