I replaced the failed water pressure pump in my 2007 CD25 with the Jabsco "marine" Model #31395-0092. I mounted it on top of the battery shelf, which isn't ideal but seems to be a much better location than the bilge. I haven't had any problems with it since I replaced it in May 2008. Thanks, Dick

Last night I replaced the main circuit breaker and dc power was restored. Thanks for everyone's advice, Dick

Good question? In my research I noticed that Bill on Barnacle Bill and Pat on Daydream had similar problems - not sure about others. This web site is a great resource. Thanks, Dick

I think I found the problem. I bypassed the main circuit breaker and dc power was restored. I will replace the main circuit breaker this weekend. Thanks for everyone's advice, Dick

How many batteries do you have on your boat? Depending on how whoever wired in your batteries, some items may be wired to the crank battery...which seems to be fine....while others may get power from one, or more "house" batteries. Byrdman Hi Byrdman, I have two Group 24 batteries, which I...

Hi All, This past Saturday I discovered that my pilot station electrical panel, GPS and VHF Radio stopped working. The engine starts fine, the AC power through the shore connection works and so does the anchor windlass. I checked all the fuses, which all seemed fine, and checked all the reset...

Hi All, I'm concerned about this issue. My 2007 CD25 is in the water here in Annapolis all year and there is alway some water in the bilge area. Last summer I moved the water pump up onto the battery shelf - which has worked very well, but I left the mounting screws on the bilge floor. I had...

Hi All, This past Saturday I ventured from Annapolis to Oxford on the Chesapeake Bay in a small craft warning. I did this to learn more about the handling capabilities of my CD25 and to improve my skills. On the way down to Oxford I was going into a pretty rough two foot chop. I was able...

I have a 2007 CD25. How do I know if the raised center ceiling is not cored or not? Thanks, Dick

Hi All, I'm looking to install fishing rods racks on the ceiling of my CD25. The racks I'm considering come with relatively short mounting screws. Is it OK to use these screws in the ceiling or should I use glue / epoxy? Thanks, Dick

Hi Dave, After two failures in the first year, I replaced the failed water pressure pump on my 2007 CD25 with the Jabsco "marine" Model #31395-0092. I mounted it on top of the battery shelf, which seems like a much better location than the always wet bilge floor area. After about a year and...

We bought a CD 25 in early 2007 right before the economy went south. Right now I'm sure we're underwater with regard to the boat value / loan amount. Being fairly conservative, I'm sure I wouldn't buy a boat in the current economy, if I had waited. Having said that, I'm so glad we bought in...

Hi All, Yesterday I replaced the failed water pressure pump with the Jabsco "marine" Model #31395-0092. I mounted it on top of the battery shelf, which seems like a much better location. Everthing seems to be working well. I hope this is a long term solution. Thanks to everyone for your...

In the 2007 CD25 they mounted it next to the water tank in the bottom of the bilge? As suggested, I plan to order the the Jabsco "marine" Model #31395-0092 and see how well it works. Thanks for everyones help...Ill let you know how it goes, Dick

Has anyone used the Jabsco "marine" Model #31395-0092 in the existing bilge location or other location? If so, how well is it working? Thanks, Dick

This past weekend I discovered that my water pressure pump is not working. This is the second pump that has gone bad in the last year. Cutter Marine kindly replaced the pump last year, but I am no longer closely located to them. I also noticed that the holding tank was full and we have hardly...

Hi All, This past weekend I was able to shove a hose with pretty good water pressure into each of the self bailing drains. They now appear to be working. I also found another issue related to the water pressure pump but I will put this in a separate post. Thanks for your replies, Dick

We've had a lot of rain here in Annapolis and I've noticed that my self bailing cockpit is not draining very well. I stored the boat outside and uncovered last winter and believe that the self bailing drains may be clogged with debris, although I can't see or feel anything. Do you have any...

Hi everyone, Thanks so much for all your very helpful suggestions. I was amazed at the number of responses and thankful for all of them. Pat, your curtains look great-you've done a wonderful job! I also appreciate seeing all your other pics that give so many other ideas...keep up the good...

Hi all, It's so nice being able to ask questions to the "been-there-done-that" folks out there who've already experienced many things with their boats. My question is about curtains for ours-right now we have the snap-on covers for the windows that came with the boat but the snaps are already...
