General Discussion

The next generation of the discussion forum is now up and running. Our Discussion Forum and the Classifieds are now referred to as Groups. You can view either group, without being a member of the group, but to Post, you must Join the group.

TIP #1: If you see the "Join" button, just click that to join the group. There are no questions to answer, just a single click. If you do not see the Join button, then you are already a member of the group. We were able to add some club members to the Groups, but that process was bumpy.

Patty Morland, long time member and friend to many Commander Club members passed away in her home in Rochester, MN on August 10,2026. As many long time members are aware, Patty was the "better half" to Chris-Craft Commander Club founder Dick Morland. They attended every rendezvous until Dick’s passing. Over the years they made many long time friends. Many is the member who remembers Patty’s radiant smile, which was on prominent display at all of our club events.   Dick and Patty have owned a bunch of boats, most of them Chris-Crafts and have also sailed the Great Lakes. Their beloved 38 Sedan Patty Wagon was arguably the best known boat in the CCCC. For their 47th wedding anniversary they became the proud new owners of the boat of their dreams - "Paddy Wagon", a pristine 1970 47' Commander.

We cherish the many years of memories. Our lives are richer…

My bilge pump only works on manual switch, when I put it on auto it won't pump out, any ideas what would cause this? Thank you

For some reason my Port motor is in gear when I start it. We went out recently and I decided to open it up to air it o

ut and the port motor shut off. Now when I start it in neutral it takes off. It seems like something got jarred loose in the morse cable. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my first Chris Craft.
