3 photos of a helm seat were just added to the CBTech Library in the Cabin Interior section. The seat looks very interesting but there is no description of it and no way to tell the manufacturer. Further, I don't recall any discussion of the seat on the site. Anyone know anything about it...

Check this out: http://gletzold.blogspot.com/2011/03/gr ... d-out.html Scroll down and you will find the C-Dory which is Tonka (ruthebill) which has posted a few times on the C-Brat site and is out of Cape Breton Island in Canada.

This green stripe boat has been completely redone in every way and is far better than new. New 90hp E-tec, new trailer, completely rewired, all new electronics even UltraLeather upholstery with new foam. We intended to keep C-Star for a long time but a medical condition requires a sale...

Now that we have launched and started to use the boat, I am trying to get the S1000 working and am running into trouble. The remote (with fresh batteries in it) keeps showing NO PILOT. The Course Computer has power to it and is energized as the green light is on. Occasionally when I start up...

I finished my rebuild and launched in mid June. Since then, the boat has been back in the shop for 3 weeks and I just dropped it off again. No telling how long it will be there this time. It has a 90 E-TEC on it with I-Command gauges. There is a 3A fuse on the power feed to the network...

I bought a chartplotter/radar from Defender and had it professionally installed. The boat has not even launched yet (won't launch til the Spring due to work commitments) but I have played with it enough to know that I really made a huge mistake in getting it. The unit is a Raymarine C90W with...

In rebuilding C-Star, I wanted to add stern anchor stowage in the cockpit for a Fortress FX-7 plus 150 feet of 1/2" rode and 6 feet of chain without drilling any holes in case I wanted to reposition the anchor. Pictures are in the album. Materials used include 1" starboard for the two holders...

Since I have completely rewired my boat, and seeing LED nav lights on a friend's boat, I decided to replace the original side Perko nav lights. I have had a concern that the grapefruit sized nav lights on the cabin sides were too low for good visibility and that when the bow lifts, it might...

I have reviewed the windlass wiring instructions that came with my V700 and they sure puzzle me. The windlass is supplied with a 35A circuit breaker which is to be installed in the cable between the battery and the toggle switch. Based on the total wire run on my boat, I am using 6 ga. wire...

I am about to install a Lewmar V700 windlass on my CD22. I know a lot of others have used this windlass. Is there a need to relocate the cleat on the foredeck or can the windlass be installed forward of the cleat? Also, once the windlass is installed, can an anchor rode be cleated off to the...

One drawback to our C-Dorys is that there is not a lot of space at the helm. If you modify the seat, you are likely to run into leg clearance problems. One solution is a tilt helm hub ($$$$$) which also compounds the problem as it extends out further. A second solution is shims or wedges to...

I am installing an S1000 autopilot and want to put the computer underneath the galley along with the drive motor. The supplied data cable is not long enough to reach the area behind the helm. Am I correct in thinking that the data cable can simply be extended with a 9 pin serial extension...

From a discussion with a friend, a couple of questions have come up. Although the answers are likely on the site, I have not been able to find them after searching so here they are: 1) When was the first CD22 built? 2) When was the "major" hull change in the 22? Thanks.

C-Daisy posted photos of the installation of hatches in the V-Berth on a CD22. The incremental storage is of extreme interest to us so I ordered hatches and today tackled the first part of the project. Here are some details in case anyone else is tempted by the photos in the C-Daisy sub album...

For those contemplating adding radar or upgrading their radar, there is a new radar in the process of being introduced that looks positively amazing. It is broad band radar. I first read about it on Panbo at the following link: http://www.panbo.com/archives/2008/11/n ... _deal.html Lowrance...

We have covered this subject a number of times and Bob Austin and others have given good advice. I was visiting one of the other sites I check out periodically and found the link to a very thorough and comprehensive, illustrated look at sealing deck hardware penetrations in cored decks and...

My boat does not have a freshwater system and I plan on adding one to match the factory system. That raises a few questions: Does anyone know the manufacturer of the standard tank which is located under the aft dinette seat? Its size and model number? Is there an external vent on the side of...

I recently bought a used CD22 that had a hinged seat across the rear of the cockpit. The seat was fastened to the front of the motor well with a full width piano hinge. To use the seat, it was pulled up level and two stainless steel legs attached to the seat were inserted into SS sockets that...

I am doing a major overhaul of a new to me CD-22 that has a series of issues to be addressed. When I purchased the boat, it had 2 trickle charge solar panels about 2" x 6" mounted on the forward corners of the motor well. The wiring is 16 ga black and red duplex wire which was routed into each...

I will be adding a tall radar arch to my boat and was wondering about the merits of aluminum vs SS for the arch. I searched the archives and all I found was a similar question from some time ago that never got answered. So, what is your advice?
