If your vent line got plugged somehow, as in wasp nest etc, you might experience the same problem with pumping out. Try opening the flush valve just a wee bit to be sure there is air flow "in" while the vacuum is applied. We also found that the rubber adaptor on the end of the pump out hose had...

Not just dulling your senses but your whole respiratory system too. It was suggested for me to try the stuff as an alternative to narcotic pain meds and I can personally testify that the stuff has a major affect on one's lungs,,,, not to mention the affect it has on the brain. It appears to me...

Wow, wish we could be at that presentation. That exact trip IS my bucket list. We took a big hit with the Canuck buck going as low as it has. Pretty much puts any new C-Dory or Sea Sport out of the equation for us. There is one "last year's" model of 22' Sea Sport "Sportsman" for sale at one of...

That stuff's frowned upon in our boating community up here, however, if a person resides in an area where it has been legalized the matter should be free to be discussed in that area. I'm assuming there was some sort of public input required before such laws were passed,,,,,,, or is that...

For what it's worth; I prefer to avoid any "NEW" products until the manufacturers have had a couple to a few years to iron out engineering bumps. I hate spending money to became a guinea pig for new products and then possibly a statistic when the product is scrapped in favor of something that...

That is such a cool description of the area it makes me want to visit the Bay for a few days, thanks.

My only concern with regards to leaving the plastic tanks on the boat is that during the warmer weather the expansion inside the tanks could possibly cause them to rupture at the seam if the vents were to be left closed. :?:

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all. Many thanx for all the advice and the opportunity to learn about the C-Dory line up. Just wish I'd have found this site BEFORE I pushed the "buy" button on our current boat. Oh well, already got the ad written and waitin' on warmer weather. All the best to you all in...

For the transom mount transducer; how do you folks fill the oversize holes with epoxy? On my last boat I drilled the oversize hole, taped the transom side of the hole off, and injected the epoxy, with a syringe, through the tape at the top part of the hole. I felt like I was all thumbs and...

Boris, Excellent article, thank you. The price of the Lowrance radar is even better than our last purchase; the Furuno 1715 at 15 boat bucks. It was the smallest one that would do the job at the time. The 3G will be going on our next boat,,,,,, if we ever find it.

If you were lollygagging along at hull speed of about 4 knots and you noticed a cruise ship on a collision course at the 15 mile arc on your radar screen, you would only have about half an hour to react if it was making 20 or so knots. I think 15 mile range could be considered "short" when you...

My hat's off to you for coming up with these ideas and implementing them. Looks great. You'd think the factory would have thought of this. :thup

Harvey. I can't seem to respond to your PM, tried twice and it just disappears. Please let me know if you got 2 responses that were similar. Thanx, Chris

Once again, many thanks to you all for the responses. We looked at a 22 C-Dory in our moorage basin and determined it to be too small for our needs. A wider beam would have sufficed but I think the 25 is the way we're going to go. Already have the tow vehicle to pull our current cruiser around...

In our seemingly never ending search for a pilot house type trailerable boat we've noticed quite a few similarities between the C-Dory, the Osprey, and the Sea Sport boats. C-Dory is the most appealing brand so far because of the availability and affordability but there seems to be varying...

Another question from a wannabe, or a soon to be; Self bailing cockpit is important to me, do all C-Dories have this feature? Please feel free to talk me out of the need too. We have experienced water coming in over the stern before and the self bailing feature probably saved us. We don't...

Where can I buy those 12vdc blankets. I think they would be perfect for the cooler weather out here.

Thanx for the welcome Rainger. I grew up in Victoria and moved to Kelowna in 1992 to follow a girl and a mini construction boom. Still here with the same girl but a different trade. Do get back to Vancouver whenever we can. Really miss the ocean. There's just something about these Okanagan...

Just found your site and I already had to lie to gain access :shock:. My zip code isn't really 12345 but we are Canadians and our real zip wasn't accepted :roll:. I saw my first C-Dory at our own moorage basin and I was impressed at what appears to be a very dry and seaworthy vessel. The...
