My C-Dory came with a bracket on the transom to mount an auxiliary outboard (photo attached). I’d like to remove it to tidy up the appearance of the boat. I am not a fisherman so will never need a kicker or trolling motor. But there is a remote chance that someday I may want to mount a small...

I know this is an old thread. But I just want to share a big “thanks” to the C-Brats community for the solution below to my wobbly tachometer problem. I was worried I would have to replace my tach. Then I found this thread and the solution below restored stability to my tach needle. I’ve...

Well I was able to get the old wheel off today. Surprisingly easy for a 40-yr-old boat! I didn’t even need a puller. But I did apply all the tricks y’all suggested. A bit of wiggling and then pulling one side at a time seemed to do the trick. The hardest part was getting the nut off as they...

I wish I had saved a pic from the CL ad because they’ve already been taken down. It. However, it looks a heckuva lot like the “Classic Dinghy” sold by West Marine (thumbnail attached).

I think I saw yours for sale on Bay Area Craigslist and was tempted by it myself. But I’m afraid know nothing about them and I hope someone will chime in with info.

Thanks for all the tips. @WCF my wheel appears to be just like yours was: all plastic except for the hub itself. So this concerns me. Nothing solid for a puller to grab onto. I’ll let y’all know how it goes.

Yikes, Ok, well I hope I’m not forced to go that route. So @WCF, since you destroyed your original wheel, can you share a bit about how it was constructed? And did it look anything like mine in the photo above? Just wondering if you can suggest any internal metal skeleton that would be best to...

Thanks for the replies. So @WCF, what did you ultimately do when you were unable to remove your wheel???

I want to replace the steering wheel on my ‘83 C-Dory and have a few questions: - Does my C-Dory have a standard 3/4” tapered steering shaft? - What sort of steering wheel puller should I use to replace the old wheel? - Any other tips for removing the old wheel? I’ve done this job a few times...

Thanks for the detailed reply, Bob. I’ll look at Bomar.

Are the burgees & patches still available as shown at this link? http://www.c-brats.com/cbgoodies.php Would it be possible to offer more items using the same logo, like t-shirts or a hat with the patch already sewn on?

I recently acquired a 1983 22 Classic with an old 20” plastic hatch over the v-berth. It is missing both latching arms and the plastic window is badly faded and “crazed”. What do you recommend as a replacement? I want something durable and easy to install.

Thanks for the update! Can we assume this is based on running both motors? What sort of speed/range might you see with just one motor?

It could well be a bogus ad. At least there is cause for caution. For instance, the photos are very limited, and I don’t see any hull numbers on the boat.

Thanks. So where can I find the serial number. And is the date obvious in the number or do I have to track down a decoding website somewhere?

My wife and I recently acquired a 1983 C-Dory 22 with a Honda 90hp outboard. The seller stated the motor is a 2001 but the sticker on the engine cover says it meets CA 2008 emissions standards. How do I verify what model year this engine really is? Could be helpful when it’s time to obtain parts.

Just spotted this 23 Venture with twins in Sonoma, CA, the other day. Price seems more than reasonable but the boat looks like it’s been sitting a long time and may need some work… https://mendocino.craigslist.org/boa/d/ ... 99700.html

When we had our 16 we repowered it from an old 2-stroke to a Mercury 60hp EFI four-stroke. It was no problem. The four-stroke was bigger & heavier but it worked very well on the boat. Here’s a pic and you can see the boat sits nicely with the new motor. We did not run a kicker, however.

SOLD.
