Hot Water System

I added a separate head to the port side at the back of the salon. I used a Sealand Self-contained toilet (M28 model) that has a holding tank built into the base. It uses fresh water from your tank. I have the option of pumping overboard or at a pump out. I removed the dinette seats as well as...

I and several other derelicts were wasting time, as usual, at our marina. A new 40 something Grand Banks had just pulled in and was searching for a mechanic to take care of numerous problems. The captain was in a state of misery and his wife was making things worse. I noted that I had gotten...

You can simulate DecraGuard by using a good closed grain 3/4" plywood such as birch ply. Use cans of spraypaint from Lowes - Heirloom White, Satin Finish (Rustoleum manufacturer). Spray 4 or 5 coats, sanding with 220 sandpaper between the last coats. You will really have to look closely to tell...

Thanks for the positive comments. You are correct that it required less courage to start the project than to tell the boss lady "No" on the toilet issue. We are going to try the curtain which will ride on a slide mechanism and snap closed although the roll up door may be the way to go. As far...

I am the proud owner of DORYME(you know do, re, me, fa, so), a CD-22.One of the members of our boating group recently purchased a CD-25 and my wife developed an acute case of toilet envy. Having repeated the mantra numerous times: "I ain't spending $35,000 on no damn toilet", I found myself on...

Both dinette seats are still usable but there is limited room. You can slide the unit to one side or the other. Using a single seat (fore or aft) is fine. I store my storm ropes and other items I seldom use in the hatch beneath the unit. We have had no problem with movement of the unit while...

I sort of got lost in the topic I began. Anyway, for those who wanted to see photos of the Soleus Portable Air Conditioner on the C-Dory 22, please go to my web page http://members.cox.net/rlampert3/index.html There are pictures of how I handled the condensate and the vent duct.

Sorry, I never started a C-Brat Album. However, the photos are available on my web site http://members.cox.net/rlampert3/index.html Hope they are helpful.

Thanks to everyone for their comments. Tomorrow the temperature prediction is 103 so this is a timely discussion. I plan to take photos tomorrow and have them available on Wednesday morning - window vent, condensation pan, and unit under table. Also I will give my method for fitting the window...

Much of our boating on the CD-22 consists of staying overnight in marinas, gernerally traveling with 3 or 4 other boats. Here in Tidewater Virginia the heat and humidity combined with our age and infirmity makes air conditioning a necessity in July, August, and September. We finally took the...

I need to thank Falco - I had many of the questions he brought up. I will give my reasoning - probably faulty - for the choices I made in connecting the water heater. First my understanding of marine electrical systems is very limited. I bought 'Marine Electrical and Electronics Bible' which I...

I hope I am in the correct forum. Anyway, I just hooked up a 2.5 gal. water heater to my CD22 and it works so well that I had to share it. It is installed under the sink - takes little room - and produces hot water in minutes. If you leave the dock the water stays hot overnight. And, most...

Heading up the Middle River to pick up my C-Dory from Cutter Marine next week. By the way they have been the best folks to deal with. Most of my questions have been answered on this site through the forums but I still have several unanswered. My boat will be in a slip and operated in salt...
