Thanks for all the great information! Has anyone been to the hot springs in Tofino? Was it worth the trip?

I understand that weather makes a huge difference but is it reasonable to think that we can make it from say Lopez Island in the San Juans to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island in one day? We would expect to stop at Bedwell Harbor for customs and maybe make one more mid-trip stop at ?????? in the Gulf...

If this question has been asked and answered many times before, I apologize but........... Is it OK to mix different types of Wallas stove fuel? Has there been agreement yet on what is the best fuel for the Wallas? thanks

I have a 2005 22' C Dory. I noticed some hairline cracks in top edge of the transom on either side of the transom where it curves from horizontal to vertical. Looking from the top, the transom is ~1 1/2" thick. The cracks are on the boat side of the transom thickness and at either side of the...

I have always used kerosene in the Wallas Heater but saw some Kleen Heat for sale last week at Home Depot. Is there a problem mixing the two? Do I need to clean out the reservoir if I start using Kleen Heat? I know this has been discussed before but which one does everyone think is best? thanks

I may not be remembering right but it looked to me that the fore to aft length on the starboard side was substantially less due to the helm.

It looks like the port side of the v-berth has plenty of length but has anyone measured the length on the starboard side?

I'm currently involved with Progressive on a claim on my boat. right now its C-Dory Factory (Jeff Messmer, Scott Mathews and Chet the Production Manager) two thumbs up, Master Marine in Mt. Vernon, two thumbs up and Progressive, one half thumb down but subject to change depending on the outcome...

A timely topic after last weekend. First thanks to Anita Marie for offering to lead me across Rosario (but couldn't because of prop problems....I hope you have found the right prop) and to Bess-C for leading me across through the fog (although by the time we finally went across the fog was...

Jack in Alaska- When I was looking at your photo album I couldn't help but notice the picture of Mt. Iliamna..... beautiful. My son just got back from doing reasearch on the rock formations where the Aleutian Islands meet the mainland. I believe he said they did a lot of their work at Lake...

Would taking off the filler cap at the helm introduce air into the hydraulic lines?

The hydraulic steering for my Suzuki 90 (about 65 hours) makes a low growling noise while turning. A vibration in the wheel accompanies the noise. It is the factory installed system. The mechanic thinks the lines do not need bleeding. Any thoughts or ideas would be welcome.

We plan on going up to the Gulf Islands July 1 thru July 4. Does anyone have any suggestions for nice public marinas? Maybe some out of the way marinas that might not be crowded over the 4th?

I have the C-Dory 22', Suzuki 90, Bennett Trim Tabs and the swim step on the starboard side. Talking with the factory I was told my Evenrude 2 stroke, 15hp kicker motor probably wouldn't fit between the 90 hp and the port trim tab without an outboard motor bracket. They recommended the Garelick...

Rick from the C-Dory Factory delivered the Linnea to Twin Bridges Saturday morning. She touched the water about 11am. Just before we put her in we met and had a chance to talk with Starcrafttom and his family for a few minutes. What a great boat, green with a single Suzuki 90. A lot of you had a...

When I ordered Linnea I got a single battery and no shore power. Jeff Messmer suggested that I get a portable jump starter if the battery ever ran low due to overuse at anchor (link below). I have since been told about a Battery Brain (link below) which cuts off battery draw when there is just...

Does anyone have any recommendations on a VHF radio brand- Icom, Uniden, West Marine or ???. How about antenna size- 8' or 4'? In the real world does the extra gain with the 8' matter or does the shorter length and convenience override any extra gain with the 8' antenna? Does anyone have any...

Thanks for the good information so far, especially the correction on the date of the factory party and the advise about waiting to look at other C-Dorys before I attack or let someone else attack my boat with a drill. We're Lot #8 on the north side of Center Island. Either tie off or raft on...

We just purchased our new CD22 Cruiser. We were lucky enough to be able to get this year's Seattle Boat Show display model and will take delivery after the Boat Show is over. We can hardly wait. :D A little about us..... We purchased property on Center Island in the San Juans a few years ago...
