    Marina Needed Baltimore Annapolis Area

    Joyce & Wolfgang, Welcome to MD, we used to live in Clarksville and recently moved to Annapolis. Our local marina on the South River is an easy 40 minute drive from Columbia. Our boat is on a trailer, and after checking around we decided to base the boat at Pier 7. Their slip rates are...

    tongue weight

    One solution to leveling out you rig and still maintaining the proper tongue weight is by using a weight distributing hitch. They can also improve stability and safety with anti-sway bars. The trick is finding one that works with your particular rig - surge brakes and long tongues are harder...

    Best coin ever spent

    That was terrific! I fear that if I played Beethoven on the boat the Admiral would be in search of a replacement Captain... :cry:

    Would you buy agin or go another way ?

    I bought a new CD25 cruiser this year and have put 30 hours on it in the Chesapeake Bay. The boat is well designed, built, efficient, economical, shallow draft, simple, easy to operate, trailerable, looks good, is well equipped, and gets noticed wherever I go. Most importantly, it meets my...

    My Last Boat VI

    When I mentioned installing a Permatrim on the motor, my dealer strongly recommended the transom wedge. here's a photo: (Note: If this photo is not visible, just go to my new sub-album "Sea Wings Equipment & Mods".) I'm no expert at this, but I think the added bow-down thrust angle will...

    My Last Boat VI

    Got a new CD-25 this year, and here's some of the things I can recommend: Trailer I got 4-wheel disc brakes with electric over hydraulic power, and in the vehicle I'm using a Tekonsha P3 controller. It's expensive, but check the pricing for an original installation - should be a lot less than...

    Paint the trim tabs ?

    Mine are painted with Petit Multiseason ablative just like the rest of the bottom and they clean up easily with a hose and brush..

    Fuel question for you

    Been using Marine Stabil blue with E10 gas for many years with good results in a 3.0L Mercruiser. My Honda dealer recommends Valvetect. Anyone have experience with this additive?

    Welcome to the C-Brats!

    I got a new CD25 this year and was told that the factory would charge $2700 for that option! :shock: So ... No Wallas for me....

    How often do you use your shore power?

    If you keep your boat in the water, having shore power offers two important advantages: extending battery life with a battery charger/maintainer/desulfator and making sure that you have bilge pump power at all times. A secondary advantage is being able to run a low power dehumidifier to reduce...

    What it is like to be lifted by a CG helicopter

    I got a lift from a USAF UH-1 at Homestead AFB water survival training in 1980. Instead of a basket, they lowered a penetrator with a horse collar - the seat was none too comfy. Lotta racket, downwash, and spray... They tell you to not look up at the helo as the spray mixed with the downwash...

    GPS and VHF in conflict

    Gene at Mobile East Marine installed my external Garmin GPS antenna inside the boat, just forward of the helm bulkhead and near the starboard sidewall. Frankly I was a little skeptical but it works perfectly, the wire run is extremely short and in the opposite direction from the radio and radar...

    What's your definition of "PISSED OFF"?!?!?!

    Right, or make a temporary plate adapter, no - make it two - one to share with the fabricator so thy can use it to re-do the pedestal! I feel your pain! :cry

    Build quality

    May I recommend that you could contact the factory directly by emailing greg@nmiboats.com. He watches this address and should reply promptly. You could report back to the Brats with the answer. I have sea trialled the Ranger R-27 and really love it! Relative to the CD-25, however, it's much...
