I too have water that does not drain off the cockpit deck after washdown that collects mostly on the port side and in front of the enclosed channel for the port fuel fill. The boat lists slightly to port when at rest and in fact when I hauled out this last spring for engine lower unit oil...

I don't know if this is the best price, but fishing shops here on east coast sell these for use in coolers: http://www.anglerdepot.com/htm/bait%20t ... t-tray.asp

Rust may be a non issue. I think the reason that brass and aluminum are commonly used in fuel systems is because they don't spark. If you put a piece of stainless steel on a grinding wheel in the garage, you get sparks. Sparks and fuel equal you know what!! I suppose if someone had the time to...

As a manufacturer of OEM parts in Asia, I have supplied stainless steel fittings to the semi-conductor industry. They use lots of corrosive gasses and acids when computer chips are etched on silicone wafers. Stainless is misunderstood by many since it does rust. In semiconductor tubing the...

PLAGIARISM and INTEGRITY are two words that come to mind. If I had known that Three Rivers was about to go over to the other side, I definitely would not have bought my boat from them last summer. Now I know why Mike, Don and gang have been poor providers of aftersale service they had promised...

Jet drives do not go in reverse. They only go forward and they are difficult to maneuver around the dock. Imagine never being able to back up. Maybe you should add bow thrusters, stern thrusters etc. Oh, wait a minute, thats not a C-Dory, thats a $500,000+ trawler that sits on the dock. For my...

Last summer when the boat arrived I purchased one of these garden hose filters (clear version) from this fellow in Texas located here: http://www.pwgazette.com/gardenhosefilters.htm I use the KX PB1 charcoal cartridge. It removes chlorine, lead (if you fill at a dock with maybe old plumbing...

I have never used radar and I am trying to figure where to safely mount a new radome on my CD25 Sea Grace. Since the radar beam radiates 12.5 degrees above and 12.5 degrees below the horizontal on the possible house top, or pedestal mount or radar arch locations, how far back in the cockpit can...

Powerboats Reports in Oct 2004 had the results of their wax test that was done over a year in New England, outdoor exposure. They took a permanent marker, put it on a gel coated surface, then waxed and put in sun for a year. They examened the fading on the inked part to determine how well the...

OK, my mechanical curiosity has been piqued. If engine displacement and weight are the same, what exactly changes the HP rating between the 15 and the 20 ? The Honda marine webstie under accessories/conversion kits/electric start has de-rating kits to de-rate a 50hp to 35 hp. Could there be...

Hi, I received the actual Honda pdf from TJ above, and at the bottom of the sheet it says "source: NM Digital Guage / GPS. So this data is from I guess the Navman Digital meter. I have purchased but not yet installed the FloScan 9000-20B-1 which also includes a digital tack as well ast the...

Before deciding on the 135 when I bought my CD25 last summer I was told that the 150 and the 135 are mechanically identical , that the VTEC was already there on the 135. A knowledgable Honda mechanic could remove the limiter and engage the VTEC and the extra 15 HP down the line and I could save...

I'd like to see this too please. I have the BF135 on my CD25. What prop did they use ? Tif, pdf, jpg by email maybe? Anyway to post to this site? Regards, Peter in NY

I bought my CD25 new in Fla from Three Rivers (no BS and better price) last July w/wallas, swim step, windlass, wasdown pump, norcold fridge, racor fuel filter, four batteries on galvanic isolators, center window, shore power, bottom paint, delivered to NY (still cheaper than Cutter's), 2005...

Hi All, This is my first post, but I have been reading a lot of what has been written on this and the C-Dog site since before last summer. I am the owner of a new CD 25 (#72) w/2005 Honda 135 that I purchased from Three Rivers Marine in Fla at the end of July 2004. I keep my boat in the water...
