    C-Dory Dealers

    Is it just me? Am I missing something? I was looking up C-Dory dealers on the C-Dory website. They don't list them anymore. Your referred to Triton Marine's website and can only give your name and e-mail and they will get back to you with a, I imagine, local dealer's contact numbers. I like...

    Followup to Hydraulic steering leak

    On July 2, I developed a hydraulic leak at steering wheel hub. Baystar tech recommended a seal kit to fix. When I mentioned it was under warranty, I was transfered to that dept. They sent me a replacement pump that would need to have new stud holes drilled in the helm. Something I was not...

    Can you mix oil brands?

    I still have another 35 hours until I need the 200 hr service. Sometime in December I'm going to pull the Jeanie P out of her slip for the winter although I might launch her on really great winter days. My thoughts are to change the oil ( not the filter) and gear oil just to get thru the...

    Using your C-Dory in winter

    I have 160 hrs on my 90hp Honda. I'll probably get another 20+ hours before I pull the boat from the slip sometime in November. I'll most likely get the 200 hr service done a little earlier instead of a regular winterization. My question is can I still use the boat on those nice winter days...

    topping off fuel tanks?

    I just read an article in Motor Boating that promoted filling your fuel tanks only enough to compleat your trip plus 10-15 % additional for safety. This is for fuel economy by reducing weight. Doesn't this go against the theory of topping off tanks to reduce condensation and possible ethanol...

    Water in cockpit

    This is my second year owning a CD 22. The first year ,after heavy rains and 2-3 weeks between visits, my cockpit would have water sloshing under the floor covers. My battery would be dead. I installed a battery charger and shore power to eliminate the battery drain. Twice this season after...

    Anchor & running lights

    Last week I put the boat in the water and this week I'm bringing my gear aboard. My anchor light would not light after I connected it. I noticed that my running lights (red/green) would light up when I turned on either the anchor switch or the running light switch. The white light never came on...

    Radar Mounts

    On CD22's, I see radar mounted flush to the roof just behind the running light. I see some on their own bracket and some mounted on arches. Is there any problems to flush mounting on a CD22? Other than being able to slide a dinghy under it, what is the advantage to having a arch? Are they...

    H2O Shower Bags

    Is anyone familiar with the plastic water shower bags that you put in the sun for a few hours to heat the water? It seems like a perfect match with a C-Dory 22 . What is the lowest average outside temperature that would still allow the water to warm up? Taking a Navy shower - wet,lather...

    Cheap shore power, Battery charger = dead battery

    :?: I followed a fellow C-Brat's advice and installed a poor man's shore power by using a dock power cord and plugging it into a GFI four plug outlet box inside the cabin next to the helm seat. I then plugged in a ProSport -12 two battery charger and wired it to my house and starter...

    Bulkhead door lock

    I apoligize if this thread has posted twice. I didn't think it got thru the first time. Has anyone had trouble with the rear bulkhead door lock on a CD22? Since day one, I've had trouble locking the door. Sometimes I would go weeks without a problem and then spend 20 minutes trying to lock...
