The prior owner moved the rudder to the transome. He took part of the original traveler track and built the frame in the picture to hold it above the tiller.

One publication says 26'6"

My motor is mounted on an adjustable mount. I can adjust the high of the motor based on conditions. It is also a long shaft motor which keeps the head well above the water.

I have a 9hp, 2 cycle, Nissan long shaft I bought used in Michigan. It does great. It has electric start, but also pull starts easily.

I am looking for a stern rail for my Chrysler 22' does anyone know where I could get one>

Also, has anyone tried the two piece stern rail for the Catalina 22 sold by Catalina Direct on their Chrysler?

Thanks

I was afraid of that. The picture shows up on my computer because it is in the cache. That is why I put the info about the location. Thanks again.

I have my halyards led aft, mainsail on one side of the mast, headsail on the other. In the picture below you can see how they run. (If the photo is not there go to the Yahoo message board and in photos look in the folder named "switches".) However, I am changing the set up. In the photo t...

This is a great new look. Thanks for doing this

Mike: I don't have that. On the Yahoo site I have posted a picture of what I understand to be the factory traveler. It is at: http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/chryslerc22/vwp?.dir=/Switches&.dnm=americanboat02.jpg&.src=gr&.view=t&.hires=t If that link does work it is in photos un...

I am not sure what you mean. My travler car has four plastic bearings that go on the car inside the track. This is what I found. I have to buy 5 feet, so I should have plenty once I figure out how to cut the stock.

I found 5/8" x 1/4" Delrin Bushing Stock at: http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/default.asp It was $4.02 for one foot of 5/8" x 1/4" Delrin Bushing Stock and about $5.00 for shipping. I plan on cutting the rod into lengths to match the bushings. This should be a lifttime supply. Ji...

Chrysler 26 Cabin model, not the flush deck style. Located in Victoria Texas. Hull (with ballast) and deck. No sails, no mast, no trailer, no hardware, no nuttin- bare boat is all. Has clean title. Boat is free for coming to get it. Bring your own trailer. I will tell you it's definitely a project b...

There is a copy of the 1979 Manual on this site:

My swich panel is located in a compartment on the port side just aft of the table. I have posted a picture on the Yahoo site.

I have down loaded the manual. I think each page is a seperate image. If can't find it online I will email it to you. Maybe I can assemble in to a PDF document.

I have a water tank in a small compartment under my galley which is fixed on the starboard side next to the bulkhead. It is only a couple of gallons. 10 gallons of water would weight around 70-80 pounds and would best be set on the cenerline of the boat either under the cockpit or in the v-berth sto...

May all sailors have a happy holidays.

They are different boats. The buccaneer was made by bayliner.

I installed a bimini on my C-22 recently. When I go out to the boat tomorrow I will take some photos. It stores over the cabin or If I flip it It sits at the back Of the cockpit.

Hi Mike: Just like everyone I like talking about my baby. I believe traveler is the original equipment traveler. The prior owner, Steve, had to move it from the cockpit location because it would interfere with the stern mounted tiller. Steve cut it down and made a bracket to hold it over the tiller....

The prior owner moved to rudder to the stern. He also replaced the hatches with lexan on metal frames. Also I don't have a pop top.

I have a C-22 with the lines led aft. Here is a picture of my jib halyard led aft to the cockpit. The block at the bottom of the mast was installed backwards and I would use a turning block rather than a fairlead to turn the line to the rear. My Main halyard is rigged the same on the other side of t...

You might call these folks. Joel is very helpful.

I had them made a new rudder for my C-22.

This site calculates hull speed and other numbers.

I have seen photos of someone who used PVC to run from the cockpit drains to the scuppers. I would be leary of doing this. This is the ventalation for the fuel locker. Gasoline vapors are heavier than air. Unlike a car where gasoline vapors will float to the pavement and dissipate in a boat they wil...

I need to know how wide the bimini frame should be. The width of the cockpit. I bought a bimin on ebay and want to make sure it will fit. My boat is a C22 and is off getting the hull repaired and painted so I don't have access to it right now.

Thanks

Do you mean a cover for the cockpit when it is not in use or a Bimini?

Great Idea.
Thanks
