Has anyone removed the cockpit hatches on a CD25? I would like to remove them this winter and inspect fuel tank and anything else under there. Also need to remove old sealant around hatches as it is molded pretty bad. What sealant would be best to use that wouldn't mold? Thanks

I lost reverse during the middle of my last 4 day trip, and suspected it was the control cable where it enters the engine cowling. I didn't want to start tearing things apart being 60 miles from the harbor, so I left it alone. After arriving back home, I found the cable had broken inside the...

I have a 2007 CD 25 with the fresh water tank mounted in the stern right up against the transom. The boat is way too stern heavy when the tank is topped off and extra fuel and gear onboard for a 3 to 4 day outing. I'm having to run with the trim tabs 3/4 of the way down or better.I was wondering...

I've been wanting to mount a paper towell rack on the cabin wall and was wondering what everyone is using, since the wall is too thin for screws. 5200? Epoxy? Wondering how you remove it in the future if need be.

After much soul searching and internet searching, I've decided to break down and install a radar unit. I've been caught in the soup a handful of times and would feel better knowing where everyone else is. I don't leave the harbor if I don't have decent visibility, but there are times when it...

I need to replace my old one and wanted to go with a little more wattage. I'm looking at the Airmar TM260. Anyone running one of these?

Seems I read somewhere on the forum about wether the area where the bilge pump is mounted in a 25 CD, was solid fiberglass or cored. My pump froze up on my last outing and while changing it out, I discovered that the area is cored. The four SS screws holding the base down were not sealed and...

Has anyone come up with a stainless prop that works for a CD25 with a 150 honda? I've searched all the archives. There's been a lot of experimenting, but haven't found where someone has said that "this is the prop". Thanks

Planning on taking boat down in a couple days to get a camperback installed. Before I do, I have a couple questions for you that have them. 1. Do they fold up out of the way for fishing? 2. I assume they can't be trailered in the up position? 3. What type fastners are used? Regular snaps or...

I've spent several hours this winter pulling screws and potting them back in as well as doing some tabbing. Some of the screws I pulled didn't even have sealant on them. (Fresh water Pump hold down screws).Fortunately I haven't found any wet core. I just finished doing the trim tabs and there...

One of my winter projects is to remove all screws that penetrate the hull and pot them. I was wondering about the trim tabs as they have several screws attaching them to the hull. Should these be removed and potted? Thanks.....

I'm in the process of having a radar arch built for my CD25. I'm wondering which one to go with the short one or the tall one. I carry a dingy on top, but with a camper back up it would still have to be removed from the front with a tall arch installed. Another question are the pole holders...

I'm curious if anyone with a CD-25 has pulled up the rear deck floor. Looks to be 6 large screws in it and then siliconed around the parameter of each side. I'm in the process of resealing all hull penetrations and was wondering how many are underneath the deck. I did pull one of the screws out...

I need a SS prop for a CD 25 with a Honda 150hp. I've tried to read all the postings to find someone running one. Surely with all the 25's out there someone has one dialed in. Thanks......

I just purchased a CD25 and had the dealer exchange the alcohol stove for the wallas. On our first three day outing the stove would overheat while cooking and shutdown. I noticed in the installation manual that it states the stove needs to have ventilation holes or slot in the front of stove in...

I've had to mount my Honda 9.9 kicker on an outboard bracket to clear the trim tab. This sets the kicker farther back than the main. A tie-bar won't work on this set-up. Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, what was the cure?

I'll be picking up my CD 25 this week and would like to run a SS prop. I've always run SS props on prior boats and usually have an aluminum spare. The boat is equipped with a Honda 150. I'm curious is anyone running a SS prop on this setup and if you are what brand, size, and pitch ? And how...
