That's a really good article. However I'm a little apprehensive to gluing the tank to the hull with 5200. I can only imagine the headache if you had to remove the tank again for whatever reason. If you can't get access to where the 5200 is you probably just need to cut the tank out. With Anna...

I have yet to get into cleaning everything, but I believe it corroded on the front side of where the wood blocks were. I also noticed right before the sun went down that it appears the tank was supported by plastic strips. It wasn't properly supported and I think there might be more...

Hello, Firstly, sorry for the size of my pictures, I couldn't figure out how to make them smaller, but bigger gives you more detail I suppose. I recently noticed about a gallon of gasoline in my bilge. I pulled the cockpit floor/steps and noticed corrosion where the wood stops touched the tank...

Haha, thanks!

That is an excellent post. I should have used the search function before posting. Thank you.

Hey Everyone, I just pulled my CD25 out of the water to conclude this year's season. As I tucked it into its parking space and looked it over once more, I noticed some issues that needed to be addressed. I'm having a hard time trying to find what exactly I'm looking for. The first and most...

Sorry for not posting more information, we actually have three batteries. I'm still trying to figure out what is going on electrically in terms of setup. I do have a battery switcher, that can go both, 1, 2, or off. However I do have two separate battery switchers. Here are what they look...

Greetings everyone, We are planning our first trip to Catalina for a couple days. I was wondering how everyone treats their power when they aren't on shore power. My worst nightmare would be to drain the battery and not be able to start the engines. We have six cabin lights, plus the running...

Thanks for all the great responses. I'm definitely going to power wash the old paint off and take rainger's advice with the sanding. I think the previous owner had this boat in the water most of the time. I have the boat in the water for at most 4 months and then it's dry stored for the most...

Hello, We have a 25' Classic cruiser in Southern California. We put the boat in a slip for the 3 or 4 summer months. Otherwise we mainly keep the boat on a trailer and stored in a garage. We purchased it a couple years ago and after last years haul out I noticed that the paint has been, what...

Thank you everyone for the replies. I will definitely look into adding more oil and purging the system of air. Thank you again.

Greetings Everybody, We have a 25 cruiser with twin Honda 90's and Seastar hydraulic steering. I've noticed than when steering, the wheel doesn't stop, but keeps turning even though the engines have reached their limit. To steer the opposite direction you have to 'unwind' the wheel until you...

Hi everybody, We are looking to purchase a 25 cruiser and I have some concerns towing. On the C-Dory website, it says the average weight is 4800 lbs. which includes the boat, motor, trailer and fuel. The owner we are talking is very knowledgable about his boat and all the systems, but he says...
