Chrysler Sailors Forum

Hi all,

Haven't launched yet but previous owner appears to like caulk in the port swing keel pin area. Anyone want to share their experience of leaks in general on the C22? I'm hoping for no major surprises as the boat leaves the trailor for the first time!

Thanks, dvd

As there seems to be a lot of perceived value on used outboards these days, and I need to buy one, does anyone know if a short shaft will work on the C22 with the standard dropping mount? I am looking to open up my choices in the used $$ market.

Someone asked me about the bilge on a C22, and I am now realizing there isn't one? Also, I thought I read about built in buoancy but haven't been able to find out more? Finally, is it just my boat or are there not standard electronics on/off switch panels on these 1976 models?

Thank you for the warm welcome! The reply's are appreciated especially the photo. My boat is coming along nicely and should look excellent in the coming weeks! Fair winds DVD

Hi,

I just picked up a C22 in good shape (my 12th sailboat) and don't think the unique galley will be utilized that is onboard. Is there a market for these at all?

Thanks for your reply, DVD
