    Post Card From Iraq

    Gary, as a Vietnam vet and father off a Marine Corp 2nd Lt, thank you for your service. I use Cutter Marine in Essex Maryland (near Baltimore) for all my work. They used to be a C- Dory dealer. I bought the Jeanie P there. Great people to work with. Good size marina, storage and gated entry. I...

    Using your C-Dory in winter

    Well, I just received my full boat cover from Angola Canvas Co. I bought it after my fellow C-Brats convinced me about the pleasures of winter boating. I't gives me the flexability to use the boat in winter when shrink- wrapping did not. This is a great site. Thanks to all. Allan

    Followup to Hydraulic steering leak

    On July 2, I developed a hydraulic leak at steering wheel hub. Baystar tech recommended a seal kit to fix. When I mentioned it was under warranty, I was transfered to that dept. They sent me a replacement pump that would need to have new stud holes drilled in the helm. Something I was not...

    Can you mix oil brands?

    I still have another 35 hours until I need the 200 hr service. Sometime in December I'm going to pull the Jeanie P out of her slip for the winter although I might launch her on really great winter days. My thoughts are to change the oil ( not the filter) and gear oil just to get thru the...

    Using your C-Dory in winter

    I have 160 hrs on my 90hp Honda. I'll probably get another 20+ hours before I pull the boat from the slip sometime in November. I'll most likely get the 200 hr service done a little earlier instead of a regular winterization. My question is can I still use the boat on those nice winter days...

    Delta 9# for a 22'

    Would a Delta 9# with all chain rode be close to the same as using a Delta 14 # with 12' chain? Allan

    Is a C-Dory warranty any good

    Rich F- I appreciate you jumping in and giving us some imput as to what Frank's work load is and recognizing that he needs help with communication. Since I was the originator of this thread, I'm going to suggest that we C-Brats give Frank & C-Dory a little more time in getting this...

    Is a C-Dory warranty any good

    Marc You have some good points there. I value service. That's why I picked my dealer. That's why I've stayed with them even though they no longer represent C-Dory. I now know what my warranty is and I'll deal with it accordingly. I wasn't trying to change the policy concerning warranty, just...

    Fuel Spillage from R-21EC Fuel Vent

    I've got the fuel catcher from WM. It's a bottle with a hole cut in the side with a rubber seal. It works by placing the bottle's side opening over the vent and pressing in on the suction cups to hold it in place. It's not something that I would use when underway. Wave or high wind action could...

    Is a C-Dory warranty any good

    Geebee2- I'm glad you got a reply from Frank so quickly, seeing that you had not contacted C-Dory as of your post 7/22/08 1:00am. I gather from his reply, that C-Dory will not cover anything concerning the steering pump. SgtRhino - patience is a virtue which I sometimes lack. How much patience...

    Is a C-Dory warranty any good

    I want to side with Dave Deem but Jim B. has some compelling arguments. Maybe the RV vs auto comparison is valid. Jim has also saved C-Dory? a lot of money by doing the labor himself. I would love to do it but I have some physical limitations. One day I can feel like I can tackle any job and...

    Is a C-Dory warranty any good

    Geebee2- Teleflex has their warranty info on their web site- 2yrs parts, no labor. I do not have any written info on C-Dory's warranty. I've checked every scrap of paper I have on the boat - two hanging files of contracts, warranties and service orders plus two file drawers of info copied from...

    Trailer/Boat Aquatic Plant Removal

    So I understand this, does this mean I have to stop on the ramp, after the boat clears the water, and get out and inspect the trailer and boat or can I proceed a short distance away from the ramp and do the inspection - generally, the area that you use to attache your tie-down straps? ...

    Hydraulic steering leak

    Until now, I have had no warranty problems. I just discovered a small leak in the hydraulic steering of my 2006 22 C-Dory. Nothing big, just a few drops that ran down the v-berth wall. I called Frank Walters in th C-Dory factory warranty dept. and left a message. Has anyone had any experience...
