    Classic 2023 Timonier

    Beautiful boat with lots of the features I like. Have you seen them for sale in the USA? The 3m beam requires a permit most areas?? Regards, Rob

    Twin engine dual battery question

    I agree with Bob - start your port engine then temporarily combine batteries to raise the voltage of the house battery before starting the starboard engine. Then switch again to separate batteries. If the house battery is drawn down more overnight than anticipated - over time it can damage...

    Twin engine dual battery question

    It would be better to use a deep cycle with a high enough cranking amp capacity or one of the dual purpose battery. Starting batteries should not be used for deep cycles. I would not use a deep cycle for a large V8 inboard or high compression engine. They can damage the starter from voltage drop...

    C-Dory 22 Cruiser water Tank Capacity - Not 20 gallons

    Was your Gal. jug US or Imperial? A US gal. measures 3.78 liters and an Imperial gal. measures 4.54 liters. I find that fuel tanks are usually rated in US gal. but not sure about water tanks. Rob

    How much pressure in the tank?

    This is correct - it connects the air at the top of the tank to the top of the filler neck where it vents through the VOPR cap. To work it must have this style of cap and its small vent holes must not be clogged. Rob

    How much pressure in the tank?

    http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_ ... _photo.php This is a picture of my VOPR style cap. The previous pic in my album shows the filler neck. The black plastic piece with holes is how it vents. You can remove it to see how it works. It is designed to allow air in as gas is used and allow...

    Emergency Medical Insurance for Canada cruising

    When travelling to the US from Canada we get our medical insurance added to our CAA/AAA policy which also covers emergency situations on the road but we have never taken our boat across. Rob

    Nav lights on when motor is running?

    Probably wired to the "run" position because the red/green nav. lights are only supposed to be displayed while a boat is underway. An anchor light may be required but it may depend on your location and the speed of your drift. Rob

    Dual tanks - how to have two gauges?

    My old Campion had 2 tanks with a gauge and a toggle switch. One switch position read the port tank and the other the starboard tank. Probably pretty simple to wire one up. Rob

    Interesting boat! At the end of the video it shows Europe and UK. Sales marked as international but may cost big $ to have one shipped here. Rob

    How much pressure in the tank?

    It can be surprising how much gas expands in a tank on a hot day. I cannot fill my boat(non Cdory) on the trailer - then launch if I am just parking it in a slip for the day. Because of the angle of boat on trailer V/S in the water - when the sun hits it on a hot afternoon the gas will start...

    How much pressure in the tank?

    Your boats tank should never be pressurized. Check the vent and line is free of obstructions. If it is the VOPR type check the cap and line. Rob

    SeaSport Website

    Kevin, love the Sea Sport boats but no dealers around here. After spending 20+ years on Lake Erie I would welcome the 22 degree deadrise to calm the pounding. Sunset/night cruises are the only calm waters we get most days. Thats where the forward raked windshield would also help. As for your...

    Rules of the Road...

    We have a bingo! In this example since the key to the riddle was - "From Orilia to Port Severn" - you would be the "Stand on vessel" and the other Cdory would give way as Balsom Lake is the "Summit" and you would then be going downstream to Port Severn. Some sections of the canal can have a good...

    Rules of the Road...

    Here is a trick question for transiting a Canadian canal. If you are transiting the Trent Severn from Orillia to Port Severn through one of the many speed restricted sections and another Cdory the same as yours is coming towards you - which is the "stand on" vessel and which is the "give way"...

    Ad changes coming

    The banner adds at the top do not bother me - they have been there for years now. The pop up adds only take a quick clic to remove. The banner at the bottom may not have bothered me with my old lap top or desk top but with the smaller screen of my notebook and tablet they do shrink the usable...

    I may have discovered a hiccup - normally I use the google search as it is much quicker than searching through the 3,000 possibles that the other search shows you. Now google shows the results but when I clic on them a message tells me that google is blocked. Has anybody else had this problem? Rob
