Thanks, as an avid arm chair sailor I tend to over analyze! i'm sure that I'm the only one!

I found some additional info on the subject at the loos website... http://loosnaples.com/how-tos/tension-gauges http://68.171.211.157/how-to-use-90-91 I'll start there and ask a few question at secosouth...I'll post any additional info as I find it, looks like I'll be asking Santa for a tension gauge!

Mike check out this post and try secosouth, you will not beat their price and will not be disappointed, let me know if you need any further info. http://chryslersailors.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?t=2534&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 P.s. I also labeled all the rigging top bottom etc...

So I got all new standing rigging this year, but it did not get installed, looks like it will have to wait till the spring, so here is my question, what is the proper tension to place on the rigging? I have seen tension gages out there and I would assume that they would be handy in determining port ...

Well, I found a 2009 Tohatsu 9.8 within driving distance. 4 stroke, electric start and extra long shaft. I've read Tohatsu makes the Mercs and Nissans. I love my Mercs so I will go look at the motor. The owner cautioned me that it would be way over powering the C22. Figure I prefer over power than ...

I was going to go but then an opportunity came along to go see Jimmy Buffett in LasVegas later this month so.... No boat show!

Looks like I might be getting a new vehicle, if so I would not mind getting something that I can pull the c22 with. What is the minimum weight that a vehicle needs to be rated to pull the c22 ? 3500 lbs? What does this beast really weigh ? Has anyone ever weighd the rig like on a truck scale? Any in...

I got a new tohatsu 9.8 long shaft with electric start... got it off the web.

It works great! highly recomended. very quiet!
p.s. Tohatsu makes other marine moters under different badges like mercury!

Will it meet the 135 degree requirement?

I don't see why not... It looks like it will...

What do you guys think about this as a stern light in lieu of the OEM? Placed in the same location ?

Mark, the light you have on now is OEM, I have the same thing and was wondering about how to best go about replacing it one of the thoughts I had was a plug in pole mounted stern light... but i think i like mounting one on the rail better, just not sure of the type...im not finding anything out ther...

Good to hear from you again!

I finally had some time and cooperative weather to start bolting things together, just got into drilling everything and could not find my 1/4 inch drill bit (actually I could not find my entire steel set of drill bits) to drill the stainless backing plate, after an hour of fruitless searching I went...

Terrence, thanks for the link.... I love it, some ideas here can be used to mod my current procedure, (halfway between terror and anxiety) and make this way mare manageble!

Looks like a home made drain plug? But why? I say find out what's on the other side, that will tell you what it's for, I doubt that it is OEM.

Thank you sir! With your permission, tonight I'll download it, then upload it to our server and post it in our documents section! I'll even correct the miss spelling of Chrysler 22 from Sunpiper to Sandpiper! Scott upload away! you may also want to upload this one.... https://www.yousendit.com/down...

I sad to hear your selling your boat... Good luck.

That sad " dibs on the drifter" let me know the particulars.

I still have these, any takers? One of these sure would look nice on your boat!

I tried to download pics but I couldn't get them to load. One of the sails has brass clamp like things. a question mark with a moving pin? the other has like a streatch waistband like on boxer shorts on 1 of the edges. Like I said I know nutn about sails but will ask my kid's to try to dowmload the...

Can you post or send photos of the aft mast cradle ? Thanks

I'll take two rail mounts and two winch mounts, that ought to be enough for duck hunting!

Here is what Chrysler had to say about raising the mast of the c22 http://i943.photobucket.com/albums/ad276/marinerc22/mastraisecopy.jpg I found it as a beat up laminated card under the vinyl liner against the hull where the little storage holes are, forward berth, I cleaned it up as much as time wo...

I used to get water in from the top but the biggest issue was dust and dirt, I cut a piece of pipe insulation, the kind with a slit in it for water pipes and just place it over the top of the top hatch board, works like a charm. You could also cut to length and shape a piece of roofing ridge ventila...

Your not actually considering cutting a new hole in your baby? shocking!

Thanks Tony...Did they send the old rigging back...mine is all pretty good looking so would be nice to have it for spare just in case. Yes, they sent everything back in a very neat package, it took about two and a half weeks from start to finish. I sent everything to them, then they sent me a quote...

This is a repost from a previous thread:

viewtopic.php?t=2301&highlight=polar+navy

I have since switched to software from polar navy, I like it much better.

Bill, I have one turnbuckle a I've the split. Secosouth instructed me to send all of the rigging in just like I took it off of the boat, they did the measure from there. I guess thats how they ensure the fit. The quality is very good from what I can see, and the price can not be beat. From talking t...

When I last enabled the gps on my phone and I was aboard the Annemarie, google earth said I was in my neighbors driveway, come to think of it, the gps said the same thing the time before? I guess I need to get the hull wet and moving first! I'll start thinking about a gps next year! I like the stand...

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 on my setup (I believe that it is OEM) all of the aircraft forks are the same size (5) the cotter pin hole diam is 1/4", the pin is slightly smaller. ...
