Potential C-Dory owner with a few questions-

The present day CD22's usually have starboard in front of the gas tanks but a nice white vinyle cover also looks good - I saw one in somebody's album a few months ago that simply snapped over the tanks.

As for the battery, most of the present day boats havfe the battery up off the floor in one (or both) of the lazarettes. I would recommend that you move the battery and all connections/switches up so that the bilge pump(s) will still work if you take a wave over the back of sufficient size to get battery wet.

tleaf - Congratulations! I've got a '94 as well, not many of them around. My boat came stock with a white vinyl (naugahyde like) "curtain" in a track just under the motor well lip. It covers the whole area, gas tanks/bilge pump, etc. My batteries are in the lazarette's.

Mine has bottom paint on it, I just scuffed up the old paint and put more ablative paint on it. I did hear about a paint remover for bottom paint that really works but don't remember the name, sorry.

For bottom paint remover go to West Marine Master Catolog page412 Marine safety strip. Works great, simple, safe and no work. Jack on C-Otter.
