For those who might want a removable/portable swim ladder, this one works very well with the shape of the hull & gunwales of the C-Dory: https://pro.westmarine.com/west-marine- ... 09072.html

Not gonna pay attention to any info coming from AI. It’s a long way from being trustworthy. But I will find a way to shade the tank, because that sounds like good ol’ common sense.

Thx for the replies. I will try to shade the tank somehow. I keep the boat in an uncovered slip, so I’ll have to get creative.

My C-Dory has a 12-gallon red plastic fuel tank. On very hot days it puffs up like a balloon, I assume because the fuel/gasses inside expand from the heat. If I crack open the fill cap the gasses escape and the tank shrinks back to normal size. Should I be concerned about this damaging the tank...

Some good tips here. Thank you!

I’ve acquired two used Optima yellow top batteries, model D31T. I don’t know how old they are, but they both currently show a charge of about 8.6 volts. I’m not familiar with these sort of AGM batteries and their durability. Is it possible to recharge these and have them function normally? Or...

What a nice setup for a 16…! Very rare combo with the twin engines. I bet it’s really quiet & fuel efficient. I’m sure you’ll find a good home for it.

We opted to acquire our 22 last year without the trailer. We live in an apartment and our marina is walking distance away. Makes for an easy lifestyle to enjoy the boat anytime we want. Haven’t missed the trailer for a second. Nowhere to park it and nothing to tow it with. I knew at the outset...

Sounds like a beauty, and quite an economical project, all in. Congrats! Please post some pix!

Olekils: Thanks for the part numbers. Very helpful!

Thanks, pals! Some good tips here.

My motor cover has weather damage and I want to repaint it. Can someone tell me where to find the right “Honda silver” paint in a rattle can? Or something close to it?
