Rudder work has begun.
I purchased two pieces of 11 gauge stainless from Cut2Size metals and cut them to a plywood pattern with a friend's plasma cutter. After much thought, I elected to use a bronze through hull I had laying around in lieu of the OEM plastic. This required machining a Delrin bushing to accommodate the di...

Christmas Chrysler
Christmas Chrysler! Made my wife feel a little better about all the boats in the driveway.

Starting the rudder repair
My aluminum rudder assembly was cracked in four places, bent in a couple more, and the rudder blade flopped around in the cheeks. I have removed the rudder and taken it apart. The pivot bolt hole in the blade was wallowed out, so I plan to epoxy in a delrin bushing to bring it back to size. Water al...

Chrysler Boat Guide
I have a "Chrysler Boat Guide" that came with my boat. It is a 5 x 8 color brochure with generic information. There are a couple of pages about the sailboats and trailers, but it is mostly power boat stuff. I have scanned it and saved it as a .pdf, so if anyone would like to have it, let m...

I kind of look at this as a temporary fix (although I may never change it). It took me about an hour and a half to make this strap. It's been a few years, but I built an electric aluminum melting furnace following Dave Gingery's book and made quite a few aluminum castings. I still have the furnace a...

Fixing a broken mast base
My C22 mast base was broken where you place the pin when raising the mast. I was going to cast a new one, but my furnace is down right now. So I thought I would fabricate a stainless "horse shoe" to take care of it in the mean time. Link to pictures below. Pay no attention to the date on t...

Lowest point in a C22
I purchased my boat on a trailer and have not yet placed it in the water. Can anyone tell me where the low point of the cabin sole is when the boat is floating properly on her waterline? I have no bilge pump at all and would like to install one if there is a suitable low point in which to place it. ...

Well, looks like the general consensus is that it is not original equipment. PO said nothing about anything being there, and he used a portapotty. The boat had the slide out galley when the PO got it, but he said he discarded the galley during clean up because it was in such bad shape. I really wish...

Okay. For everyone who asked, here is a picture of said offending through hull, if I can figure out how to do it.

Thanks guys. You've got my curiosity up now. I will try some PB Blaster and soak this pipe cap to get it off. I want to know if there still is a nylon rod in there! If not, I can put one in there. I have read enough to know the keel can cause some serious damage if the cable breaks, so I am replacin...

Opinions? Keel pendant-stainless cable or synthetic?
In cruising the net, I have seen both stainless cable and things like low stretch vectran synthetic used for the keel pendant. What do you use, what diameter is it, and how much do I need?
Mine is, unfortunately, galvanized and kinked.

What is this through hull for?
Sorry to ask so many questions, but how else can you find out? On my 1976 C22, there is a through hull with a cap screwed over it on the cabin sole in front of the mast compression post a little towards the port side. There is no valve. Is this for a marine head? If so, did anyone's boat come with o...

Thanks for the information. I bought the boat from a gentleman in Anna, Ohio. He had owned a Chrysler 20 previously, and had just bought a Catalina 25. He had both boats in the driveway when I went up there. He said it was a great boat and sailed wonderfully and he was going to miss it. He stood at ...

What is this thing?
Hi all: In looking at my new (to me) 1976 C22, I see the keel pivot assembly in the storage space under the dinette. It has all kinds of goop on it, and also on the other side under the rubber plug, so I have to assume it is probably leaking. But my question is: What is the 3/4" pipe flange, ni...

Thank you for making me welcome. I look forward to furthering my education about the C22. It seems these boats are mostly well loved by their owners. A friend of mine just returned from a one and a half year cruise from Tennessee to the Bahamas and back on his Westsail 32. He said that there was no ...

Hi all: I just purchased a 1976 Chrysler 22 and it is in my yard after hauling it 375 miles from mid Ohio to Knoxville, TN. I look forward to sailing it as soon as I can. This site is a wealth of information and I read many posts before purchasing the boat. This allowed me to know a little more abou...
