According to the factory there is an air gap between the bilge pump indentation and the actual hull. So transom mount it is. Hopefully the plastic type transducer will be easy to keep clean.

Thanks for all the info. I certainly dont intend to put a hole in the hull! I was thinking that the depression where the pump is might be solid glass and work well for a thru hull. I will probably order 2 transducers and see if the thru hull works first. The service manager at wefings...

Can anyone give me some advise whether or not a thru hull transducer works ok on a C-Dory 22? I would mount it by the bilge pump. I plan to keep the boat in the water and it seems to me it would be a lot less hassle to maintain, not to mention installing. I plan to use it with a Garmin 498...

Thanks for all the good information. I dont think Mr. Boaters World was up to speed on this one. I too painted the brass bow insert with copper anti fouling paint. Any issue there do you think?

Do I need to put some kind of antifouling coating on my stainless trim tabs? Boat will stay in the water during the summer and we have heavy growth when the water warms up. I have done the bottom with sealer and paint but havent touched the tabs. I went to Boaters World yesteday to get some...

I say Charleston, SC. Nice big harbor area, lots of hotels and restaurants. The ocean is right there with beaches. Mild weather. Fort Sumter for the history buffs..... And theres a local C-Dory dealer!!

On my 22 I mounted it on the port side rear cabin using the bracket that came with the extinguisher. I used the backside of the hand hold bolt on that side of the boat. ( I may have used a longer bolt, I dont remember) Behind the stove would be a bad idea in my opinion. If ( God...

Nick, looking at your pix, that is exactly what I need. Love the idea of the gap for airflow between the roof and bimini. Thanks for the ideas. I'll see if I can find a good canvas person around here, show them your picture and say "do that"! Do you think your guy might have saved the...

I finally got around to putting up my camper back on my new high top Cd-22 and was disappointed my head touches the top. I read somewhere here of the "high top camper back". Can anyone enlighten me? I have emailed King Canvas but havent gotten a response yet. I wonder if mine can be...

Finished my 4th coat of Pettit Interprotect 2000E hull sealer on my hanging boat at the marina. Lots of prep work. Tomorrow I start on the bottom paint. I am sore all over. Be glad when its done. I'm getting too old for this. Had the boat for over a month and havent even run it yet, but I'm...

When I had my sailboat at the local marina last year the fising boat in front of me was named "Bite Me". Got to thinking maybe I should name my sailboat "Blow M-" but I chickend out. Didnt think the wife would approve.

I was thinking of C-What? Guy sees the boat, "what the hell is that?" A C-Dory "A C-What?" Hey, I'm from the south ok? Still might use it so I have dibbs.

Thanks for the replies. I did install a second house battery and switch today. There was a brown wire that I hooked directly to the starting battery that I thought was the only pump wire. If there is another wire for the sensing, that may be the problem. I hooked all else to the "common"...

Just cleaned out the boat and waited for the bilge pump to come on. And waited and waited. According to the manual its supposed to check for water every 10 minutes. 30 minutes later the pump is still submerged. I turn it on manually and it pumps right out till its dry and shuts off. I put...

Thanks for the great ideas. I love the boat, but it is going to be a work in progress for some time. Does anyone ever really finish with these boats? There is just so much you can do with them! Thanks again, Bill

I am a newby CD22 owner and unfortunatly I am not near the dealer to ask this question. How do you convert the table to a berth? I figured out how the table drops down and I put it the little leg support, but its wobbly and it seems there is way too much stress on the table hinges. That if...

Thanks for the information. Wild Blue, thats a nice set up. Looks like you know how to have a good time too! I didnt see a website for King Marine. If you know of one I'd appreciate the link. Guess I can call Wefines where I got the boat. Have fun!

I'm trying to figure out what works well for interier window covers. what have you experienced folks found that works well? I was thinking of making templates and going to a canvas shop to make pieces with snaps I could put on as needed. Does C-Dory offer them? Thanks

I'm looking at the Garmin 540S. Its brand new, should be available in March. What I like about it is it comes loaded with all the charts I need and a transducer. $735 online.

C-Pearl, thats beautifull! No, I havent even run the boat yet, but getting close. Damn job keeps getting in the way. I havent really looked at the camper back yet. Maybe this weekend. I wish I had known of your set up. That looks better for warm weather. I think mine just has the windows...
