We are on the chesapeake so typically anchor in 4-6' for an overnight . the tidal change is not usually too drastic except for early in season. Lots of tributaries, nooks and crannies...4' of water 30-35' of all chain and danforth never have a problem. Most areas are mud bottom .

Yes we added the second platform new from the dealer( cutter marine) so there would be no new drilling. Does anyone know if the flat part of platform has any wood inside the fiberglass, not meaning the blocks backing the ladder attachment??

Assumed the lag bolts were below that they didn't have backing nuts like the top. Perhaps just into the area u talked about.our boat was at the end of when they made the 2 cockpit floor boards. We have raised strips of glass that surround the gas tanks.also nonskid surface on the gunnel steps.

Apparently cracking platforms where the ladder attaches have happened to others as well. No banging into anything. Once in awhile forgetting the ladder was down when underway has happened. Our platform has 4 bolts 2 at top of transom and the other 2 lower lag bolts into the transom below gas...

Thanks for all input. We don't usually have a problem with the weight of all chain causing too much bow down. We are trying flipping the whole rode. We seldom use more than 50-60 ft so the other end that lived in the locker looks better.

Is it possible to buy replacement swim steps like the originals?? Our one has failed where ladder is attached and the other has a lot of stress cracks so won't be too far behind. We have a 2006 22'. Does anyone know approx. cost? I have an email into cdory but heard nothing so far.thanx all!

We bought our dory from cutter marine in 2006. Our rode is all chain. Noticing just this season between 20-25' it is rusting. The rest seems fine. Any suggestions...cut 30' off ..can it be recoated..??? They told us the rode should be all chain for bow weight. Not sure what size chain it is. We...

We need to replace the potty. Currently have a thetford campapotty. We would like a bigger waste tank capacity. Does anyone know what is the largest potty that will fit under berth without altering the center cushion? Was looking at the dometic/ sanipottie 965 but not sure it will fit the width...

Does anyone else have a problem with odor in portapottie now that all the formdehyde solutions are of the market. We had always used aquakem or even the walmart equivalent. They always worked great. Now the new aquamax or campafresh are horrible by the end of a weekend. Thought about buying...

Anyone block the excess space where wires enter the cabin? 1st time in 30yrs of being a boat owner and in the same marina we ended up with a mouse! We did catch it but am thinking that is an easy access for entry. Thanks cptvic

How does everyone clean the sunbrella cockpit cover? I have been mostly laying it out and scrubbing by hand with brush and boat soap or dish soap.on occasion put it in extra large washer at laundromat then hang to dry..an upholstery shop told me that's a no no..not sure why that would hurt it...

Fairlee creek, Lankford bay,swan creek,rockhall.all have marinas and anchorage adjacent to.when we first got our Cory they had gathering at lankford( Chester river).

Does anyone have a problem with the knob that tightens the slider to hold windshield up? Ours is 12 years old and is seizing up.tried wd40 to no avail.would be easy if we could find a whole new one to just screw on.Any body know where to find one?

well i guess we are just dumb.we were not sure what to do.cables come into engine on portside to an assembly with screws then transverse to starboard side below the carbs 2 more sets of screws so didnt know what was to be adjusted.i guess we will see if either a local mechanic would do...

we will give this a go at weekend..and yes have thouhht about driving there and making them fix it while we wait..if we can't get it might have to.hopefully this will do the trick.i will post what happens,thanks for feedback and direction.
