Our 2007 22 foot C Dory cruiser, Red Top, is normally located in a slip at the inner harbor here at Fairfield Harbour. However, it has been on its trailer in our driveway acting as our legal residence since Florence destroyed our house and contents. It is dirty from hurricane debris, awaiting...

Red Top was parked in driveway, strapped to twin axle trailer, drain pulled. Florence delivered 6+ feet of storm surge water to driveway. RED TOP FLOATED! Next morning found caught in trees, if not may have floated out to street and then? Couple days later trees cut down and boat returned to...

Red Top has 2 10W "charging type" solar panels sitting in the motor well, both connected to the house batteries directly through 10A fuses. I thought the second one was connected to the engine battery, but is not, so I only use one and close all 3 switches to feed both batteries. When it gets...

Our "Red Top" is a 2007 model and has the shore power 30A plug receptical in the trough on the starboard side, going through the cabin bulkhead to the battery charger mounted inside on the cabin bulkhead wall. The switches for the circuits are mounted on the wall behind the stove.

Used Red Top came from dealer in Alliance NC with a 13" aluminum Honda prop. I had requested a SST prop, but all they found available at that time was 11 pitch, so I installed it. With the 11 pitch, lightly loaded, small chop on Neuse, top speed is 30 MPH at 6300 RPM, apparently limited by RPM...

When I see C-Dory how do I find the owner on the membership list using the name of the boat? Is there a "search" I have not found?

We have had great service from our local former C-Dory dealer, parts, repairs, annual service, etc. They still sell used (consignment) C-Dory's, just do not sell new ones. Mobile East Marine 13398 Hwy 55, Bayboro, BC 28509 252 745 5615

Anything with digital controls can only operate with pure sine wave power. Most of the inverters sold have square wave power output. There are some that have modified sine wave power what will work with most, but not all, digital controls. Just bought a 12 volt input, 1000 watt, 110 Volt...

I bought the Navionics chip for my new Lowrance unit. Now I send them my sonar plots and a couple weeks later my upgrades, and those from other users, are available for me to download to my chip! That way, the latest depth information is there for the area you fish or travel.
