Upgrades, about registration and more
Greetings Chrysler Sailors, I've upgraded the discussion forum to PhpBB version 3.2.11. My goal is to keep pushing that onwards toward version 3.3.11 -- most recent version. See new announcements. Also, the registration process is still prone to spambots so I'm having to start and stop that until I ...

Re: Chrysler 22 Keel Cable
The swing keel weighs over 900 lbs. Stainless Steel 3/16" wire rope is the only option. REPLACE it and all supporting hardware at your earliest convenience , or when it (nylon) breaks, the keel trunk will get damaged when the keel falls and find yourself unable to easily retrieve

Re: inspection
The swing keel in the C22 is appx 900 lbs. of cast iron and stainless steel. The SS part is an internal plate where the cable attaches. This is a great question and many of us have had the same curiosity. Suffice to say, that Chrysler (and the design engineer for that boat) did a great job in making...

Re: Mast step/Tabernacle?
I have it off the trailer inside the shop so raising the mast is not possible. Checking the V birth and the seats for table inside against the water line mark are very close. Way the rigging looked and the mast step fiberglass broken badly repaired would not trust that part is even close. Looks lik...

Re: Mast step/Tabernacle?
I can get you some pix next few days of mine. Leveling is tricky. Doing mine (1980 C22), I had the boat level on trailer. Of course requires some separate factors to confirm true level and plenty of resources online for that. When sure of level, attach simple strings (port and stbd) from masthead an...

Re: What sealant to use replacing windows.
Welcome! 3M5200 is by far the best marine sealant on the planet. For areas where you foresee needing to remove later, butyl caulk works well. Comes in gray. Do you mean the toe rail or the stanchion posts are loose? Posts some pix.

Either of those could still cause considerable damage as long as the motor runs. The only safe solution is an electrical cutoff switch.

Also, for safety I don't operate it remotely. On retracting the keel, if I...

Re: New C-22 Owner! handling question
Welcome to the forum. Do a search for 'Extendable Trolling Motor Handle'. I use one on my C22 with Suzuki 6HP outboard when motoring. When motoring in open waters, most prefer to lock the outboard straight and steer with tiller. That doesn't work very well at low speed though when trying to drive up...

Re: Mast Step Trouble
Here's a link to Scott's web page from the C22 owners manual. I don't recommend trying it any other way. I've seen too many people regret it and end up doing major damage. Also, everyone pretty much uses the boom as is shown in the owners manual http://captainscottsailing.com/ChryslerDocs/C22_Sandpi...

Re: Mast step measurement
I don't have that hook anymore, but it was probably 1/8" thick aluminum plate. Since that's gone, just rebuild
your mast step and install a new hinge plate. You'll need to make some changes to the mast of course but well worth it in long run

Brian, Congrats on the new Sandpiper! The mast on C22's is very robust for its category of daysailor. I can imagine generated a few curse words when it snapped off. Were you using the factory documented procedure with gin pole and bridles to mast and demast? The 'hook' arrangement is not ideal and I...

Re: Rudder head broke
Never heard or seen that happen. Check over at https://ruddercraft.com/
Yes----that is the original factory head
Doesn't look too difficult to machine one from scratch if you have the tools or know someone handy like that. Welding is also an option
