Chrysler Sailors Forum

Alan...get better soon...so how do you like "Small Craft Adviser"?. I like Small Craft Adviser. True I find that a lot of it does not apply to me as my C-22 is on the BIG side of there conversation. I really did like trhe frirst issue I ever got. It had a Chrysler C-22 on the cover of all...

Oh Yea. Got my flu shot in October, and got a little sick, got the flu in January and really sick. So yes I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. :cry: But look at the bright side, it gave me time to read the Chrysler Sailors forum. :D New boats, new members, Birthdays, Polo Shirts and Hats Oh m...

Nice looking boat! dfghjklxcvfcgldycfvbcgvhkk... Sorry, had to wipe a little druel off the keyboard. :lol: Time for a weekend of nautical elbow grease and you will have a sweet little boat there. Oh, honest you have a sweet little boat already, oh you know what I mean. I see you have the same finest...

First off Welcome aboard ship mate! That is one fine looking C22 if I say so myself. And I do say so myself. :lol: I'm with Captain Scott on the Spreader issue. I will toss in my $.02 on the wiring. Start from scratch... All new wires. All new main panel. All LED's inside and out. This took my power...

I have the C22 Pop-Top. I like the idea but I rarely use it. If I used it more then say once every other year, say maybe ten times a year I'd do it. However I think I will go with the K.I.S.S. principle on my C-22 for now. Now if it were a bigger boat with the corresponding bigger hatch. It would be...

Ah shucks, once I am able to help Captain Scott out just a little bit vs. the countless times he's just jumped in and solved my problems. He did not even mention that earlier this same day, he was tucking a very nice, gently used (Okay like new condition) Danforth anchor with 15' of galvanized chain...

Welcome aboard ship mate. Yup Captain Scot nailed it. it's a drain for the sink and yes it should be closed when sailing. There should be a stop cock on the through hole on the inside. The original Chrysler doc's said to always close the sink sea cock when not in use and to never use it when under w...

DiverDarren, Cool hat in your Avatar photo. I've warn one just like it some years back. Quite the experience really.

Thanks
Alan

A Cabela's Gift Card.

Thanks
Alan

LED's are the only way to go. I converted my C22 the first year I had her. I've had light and battery power a plenty ever since. Drawback. Some LED's give my wife and son a headache. The inside dome light I have set up with LED for the 98% of the time I sail without them and Regular incandescent for...

A very Merry Christmas to all.

Thanks
Alan

Alan, I have fallen in love with the Lowrance HD5S. Beats the crap out of the Garmins. A very readable 5X5 screen, and works with tiller pilots. I took GPS coordinates off its chart at West Marine and drove to those locations (Dallas to the coast) and compared. That chart was accurate 5 to 10 feet....

Well like all calendars they have to end some time, so you go out and buy another one from Wally World or something. I guess it's time to go out to the Mayan Wally World and buy another calendar that's good for another few hundred years or so. :wink: Or maybe those Conquistadors killed the Mayan Gre...

Ho Ho Ho,

"What do all the good little and not so little Chrysler Sailors want in there stockings this year?" I wonder...

1. I'd like a GPS/Depth finder combo and an Autotiller.
2. ?

Well, personally, I'd buy it. If I had a place to put it till spring. Then I would clean the boat up real nice, wax it too. Leave the trailer looking. well as bad as possible. Then sell the boat this spring for $600. Then I'd be hard core shopping for a C26 to put on my new trailer, as I am obsessed...

Welcome aboard ship mate! I have a C22 Pop top. My photo's of it and hopw it works are not available at this time, sorry to say. However, I will attempt to describe it in text. The pop top is attached at 6 points when it is down. There are 4 poles or struts that have pivot points at the top and bott...

Happy Birthday Captain Scott and Daniel. May the Wind be on your beam today and a lee shore only a distant memory.

Thanks
Alan

Hmmm, it's December 1, 2012, and my photo's are still there. We shall see if they are still there in a few weeks. By the way I did save all the photo's so I will put them on a new site in the near future. Nothing has or will be lost. Worst case will be broken links to the old site. Boy can I pick th...

OOOH, I re-did two port holes in 5200 on my C22. Guess I'll have to keep her forever now so as not to impose my error on some innocent future owner. :oops: Hey it was done in 5200 by the PO when I got her. I thought that's what your suppose to do. Oh well I'll fix her up again this spring, YEA! :P T...

A thing of beauty there EE.

Thanks
Alan

Wow, that is one nice looking boat.

It's good I'm broke and the boat's on the other side of the country. That boat looks ready to go right now from the photo's.

I hope someone here on the forum gets her.

Thanks
Alan

Okay I'm going to come right out and say it here. Captain Scott, the time has come for an intervention. You know we all care about you here and your with friends. Stop buying C22's. No, I know, I said it in writing, but it's true. Clearly you need to START buying C26's from this point on. No, now do...

Hi Alanhod here, This was my first email name given to me by my employer back in the late 1980's. I was at a small software company in Redmond WA called Microsoft. I left in 1999. I did not start sailing till 2007. I was hooked on my very first sailing lesson. I've always been around the Water, Paci...

Well the day is at hand. Webshots is dead as of Dec 1, 2012. Now why is this of any importance to you, you may ask yourself? Well "Yourself" it means any of the photo's I and others have posted to this web site are going away, that I and others have posted here on the Chrysler Brain Trust....

Yes welcome aboard shipmate. Very nice job on the restoration Scott! And yes Captain Scott is on a mission to renovate Chrysler's everywhere. I've seen him bring several boats back from the brink of the land fill and send them off, back into the wild, fully restored or even better then new. Sometime...

Greg I like you idea of battery placement. Wish I had thought of that before I rewired the whole boat a few years ago. I weigh 80 pounds less now so my big old behind will not cause the aft end of my boat to sink so low in the water but moving that battery to low center mass would have been a good i...

I have my single battery just under the entry way hatch, slightly aft of the keel winch, behind the plywood under the cockpit. It is centered midships in a battery case. My best battery advise, and again my opinion only here. Use only one boat battery, deep cycle. Now for your outboard, I must say I...

Oh yea, this sounds real good to me.

Thanks
Alan

Nice.

What's her name EE?

Thanks
Alan

I bought my '81 TMI22 (C22 offspring) Okay I am ZERO help on the motor issue... But I am most interested in lots of photo's of your boat! I would love to see what my boat grew up to be. I have not even looked. Do we have any documentation on the TMI line in our documents collection here on the foru...
