    Towing CD-25's

    I have a 2003 Ford Super Duty F-250 4x4 w/ the 6.0 Turbo Diesel + towing package and it pulls my 25' Cruiser w/ no problems. The diesel is exceptional for over the hills (when required). The one thing I would certainly get on any truck pulling a 25' Cruiser is the towing package. Not only do you...

    Anchor Locker Drain

    I'm sometimes dumbfounded by what I read. I mean, did the previous C-Dory ownership not have a final inspection "check list" to review before they sent vessels out the door? Argh. Sending some boats out w/ anchor drain holes, and others without, fiddles installed, some not, venting etc. Argh, I...

    Suzuki break-in/rpm issues.

    Atta boy. :lol: One last suggestion (hell, why not) - ensure you have a jack in your pick-em-up box which will accomodate your trailer. Have a great weekend!

    FWIW, this was released yesterday and this morning. The Intracoastal Waterway in North Carolina is getting some federal stimulus money for dredging the channel. The Star-News of Wilmington reported Tuesday that $3 million will go to dredge the waterway from Morehead City to South Carolina...

    Fishing Tips - Bahamas

    Hank, Sounds like a great trip. I plan to fish the Outer Banks and near-shore area around home (Beaufort, NC) during May 18th-22nd while hosting a family from Beaufort, France. Keep us posted on the trip and the fishing. Norm (BTW - are you trailering down to FL and taking off from FL or...

    How ridiculous is this

    It is very possible the person acting as captain at the helm was not drinking or intoxicated (apparently the driver was not intoxicated). This type of accident could have (may have) been triggered by a simple weight shift. After all 14 people (~2100lbs @ 150lbs/person) on-board this size and...

    Suzuki break-in/rpm issues.

    My money is on Marc: It may be the rubber gasket on the filter at the separator housing has cracks and tears in it and it's sucking in air. During idle, you woudn't be sucking in much air, hit the throttle and now you're talking about sucking in some big air. In either case - it just plain...

    Mounting a kicker

    I became an expert at shearing off lower end units and props on the Gulf Coast of FL; and, on one occasion a 6 1/2 month old brand new EverRude 90hp had a jug head cavitate (from bad gas purchased at a marina). Under two conditions I had no kicker and I was only offshore 7 miles near Anclote...

    Fluid Marine is a class company

    I don't have my 2007 25' Cruiser (purchased new August 2008) manual at my disposal to review (it's in the boat) , but I thought it stated the hull was covered for 5 years, but the remainder of the equipment was covered under warranty for 1 year (except perhaps individual equipment manufacturers...

    SO WHAT DID YOU DO WITH OR ON YOUR C-DORY TODAY??

    I haven't quite finished. I first had to determine just how the water tank fill hose attached to the water inlet receptacle (aft-stbd-side). Argh. What a bear! I would have thought the hole would have been large enough to pull the water tank fill hose out from the hole along with the water inlet...

    Gas problems - phase separation

    Since picking up my new 25' Cruiser w/ the 2008 4-stroke 150hp Suzuki on it, I did some reading myself on phase separation (once again - since some years ago I had been buying gasoline from a marina in FL and they were selling bad mojo) - I cavitated a cylinder head on a 6 month old new EverRude...
