Chrysler Sailors Forum

I no longer have my C22 so I can't get you the dimensions but I use to raise and lower the mast in the water every time I trailered it someplace other than my slip. With the boom, bridles, 4 ratchet straps, and a line going to a cockpit winch, the mast always stayed solid and level to the boat no ...

I have high speed color duplex scanners at work, I used these to scan the 250 sailor service manuals on the docs site. The only downside is if it's a book it has to be taken apart. If you need it scanned let me know and I'd split the postage with you and give Scott a place to FTP the files from.

If you can wait till the Chrysler docs are back up there is a copt of the service manual otherwise let me know and I should be able to get a copy of it to you.

This is the doc I used when making some bridles. These along with some ratchet straps work perfect.

You may want to reconsider the antenna on top of the mast. I originally had one and found I could not communicate with boats within a mile or so and knowing the area you sail this can happen quite often.

On Craigslist, needs a lot of TLC but for $100 it could be worth it.

Thanks for the pics, I've wondered how that all went together.

I'm kind of curious where the compression post is in your boat?

I would save yourself a headache down the road and use good tinned copper wire, and heat-shrink crimp terminals.

http://shop.genuinedealz.com/, they have the best prices I have found online and free shipping. They were recommended to me over on Sailnet.

After about 3 weeks Secosouth did respond to the online quote through their website and I placed an order for just the backstay.

Capt. Bondo - It's funny you mentioned Hoopers, I brought them the forstay from my Cal 2-25 the same day you mentioned them. Had an accidental halyard wrap last summer ...

I'll be there all day on Saturday.

I have the Dutchman system that Skyking linked to on my Cal 2-25. It is easy to use and the sail flakes perfectly once the sail is trained.

I have a 88 8HP pull start suzuki. There is a plug in between the choke and pull start. This is an electric output, not sure of the amperage though, it has always kept the battery plenty charged.

I'm going to do the graphics and a friend with a small vinyl cutter is going to cut it out for me.

Thanks for the link, I had seen that before but completely forgot about it.

I would like a C22 in 2XL.

Thanks for making these.

Here is a partial photo I fixed up in Photoshop. Hopefully its enough to make out the font.

Looks like the C26 had a little fancier font.

At some point in time someone thought it would be fun to paint the coveline and waterline black using cheap brush on paint. I decided it was time for this paint to go, so with a light duty graffiti remover, a paint scraper, and lots of hope that the original blue was in good condition, so far so ...

The requirement is to provide an unbroken light 135 degrees. Then again, the only nav light requirement for sailboats our size (<23 feet) is only a flashlight lit soon enough to avoid a collision. Kinda silly. But additionally, if you have the lights, they have to work.



Keep in mind that is ...

Thanks for the extra info Mariner. Does any one know of any other online stores for standing rigging? I've had zero response form Seco South, a couple emails and submitted an request quote from their website. All has gone unanswered.

Mariner,

Can you tell me the pin size of the fork for the back stay? looks like it is different for the single wire and the split wires.

Thanks

I went through a similar situation with my Cal 25 , although mine wasn't documented, there was no title. It turned out the person I bought the boat from never transferred the title when he bought it. With the help of the WI DNR I was able to find out who the title holder was and that there was a ...

Thanks for the links. I've never seen one like that, the couple I've seen used were attached to the mast and boom like a small main sail. That kit looks like a good project to try out.

I have seen people use a small sail in place of the main while at anchor to help keep the boat from swinging around the anchor. The last few times I've anchored overnight I have been swinging a good 280 degrees so I'm thinking of trying one of these sails. Anyone know the correct name of this sail ...

My camper also has the break away wired to the house bank but for a boat trailer most would go with a small battery on the tongue instead of messing with any wiring coming out of the boat.

I put this one on my C22 trailer.

It took me a longer than I had planned but I have the manual scanned. This is for the 9.9, 15hp and 250 sailor. There is a black and white, and a color scan.

Black and white 4.7MB. Photos are not very clear

I have the big round 7 pin connector. With electric brakes you need another wire to charge the battery on the break away system.

Got ya. I just ran a separate switched positive to each light (LED anchor, and LED steaming/halogen deck light combo) all running on a common ground.

I used the 4 pin in Lyle's post. I thought the price had to be wrong so I called before going to West Marine, thats the right price and it is very high quality. What all are you running up the mast that you need a 5 pin plug?

Thanks all for keeping this great site going.
