Can a C-Dory 25 cruiser be safely blocked on the hard using cinder blocks or wood blocks at four points without jacks at the bow? I want to do some minor mechanical and cosmetic work on my boat on shore. I do not have a trailer. The boat would be on blocks for a period of a week or two --...

I've about had it with Windows. Some years back I worked in hi-tech, had NT4 training, and have always been using Windows. I'm no techie anymore, though. I'm currently running XP Pro SP3 on a Thinkpad t61 maxed out at 2GB Ram. Very few days go by without issues of some kind - either directly...

I have decided to go ahead and commission step 1 of a canvas project that ultimately will wind up with a camperback. I need to protect the cockpit from winter weather -- and I need sun protection for the summer. After consulting with a canvas shop, I'm planning to go ahead with a bimini. I want...

I ran a search on "bilge pump" and got a zillion hits. Hope someone might have answers for this particular situation: I have an '04 CD-25. The oem Rule Mate 1100 failed three years ago and I replaced it with the same unit. The replacement's automatic function failed sometime after the large...

The trailing edges of my prop have "rainbow" coloration on the trailing edges of the stainless prop. I am told this is the result of cavitation. I know of only one time when I knew cavitation was occuring. That was when the lower unit was fouled with seaweed. The boat is an '04 CD-25. Engine...

The P.O. on my boat mounted the display module for the radar suspended from the underside of the electronics shelf. That's too far above the helsman's line of sight for me. I want to move it so that it will be mounted upright on the dash area over the entryway to the v-berth, between the compass...

I bought an AM-FM-CD combo on sale from WestMarine a couple of seasons ago. It came with hardware and accessories for in-dash installation. Any suggestions on where I can find a box to enclose it? That way the unit can be in the enclosure which in turn can be up on the electronics shelf or...

Does anyone know the precise size of the cockpit railing on a CD-25? I searched it on the site but did not find that info. It looks like 7/8" diameter - is that correct?

I need a new hat for wearing on and around the boat. Number 1 priority is sun protection. Recommendations are welcome. Any particular hats that you like for your boating?

I've been shopping for a bimini for the mighty Lucky Day. Do any of you have experience with or have you heard anything about Ameri-Brand? They have a lot of offerings and appear to have good deals. Who are they? Are they reliable? I've never heard of them. Their website...

I had Lucky Day out yesterday after it had been sitting in its freshwater slip for quite awhile. Three issues showed up: 1 - The Garmin 172C GPS started and worked fine, but shut itself off after 2-3 minutes of operation. Retried it many times but it continued to power itself off. The other...

Is there any particular hand tool that works well to muck out wet core from a cockpit deck? Or a particular power tool?

First - Happy Thanksgiving to everybody who participates and lurks here. This is a great community! I split this question off from the open ocean suitability thread currently going. How would one deploy a sea anchor from a CD25? Would there be more than one way to deploy it, and if so, what...

Just saw this reference to a turbodiesel outboard on another site. Passing it along as a C-Brat FYI: http://www.megoutboard.com/index.html

I'm looking for a budget solution for canvas. My boat is kept in the water year round. Any C-Brats have experience with the Anchor Shade by Taylor Made. I am considering the Anchor Shade as a cruising solution for sun protection for my no longer youthful skin, and then getting just a cockpit...

Has anyone had experience enhancing the railings or adding new grab rails to assist getting from the sidedeck to the foredeck on a CD-25? There's a gap between the cabin top rail at windshield area and the bow pulpit rail.
