A couple of weekends ago I was out fishing and had a stuck anchor. I was able to release but noticed that the windlass pull was "not as strong". I figured that in the process of working the anchor loose with the boat and pulling it up the battery drained out. But, windlass was still not...

Somehow I jammed up the windlass and had to manually pull up the anchor yesterday. I got back to the dock and no amount of pulling or using the "star" winch handle got this thing moving in any significant degree. I didn't blow a breaker - it just jammed. The pictures are below. Anyone have...

Hey - I installed radar a few months back and had to remove the top shelf that sits right below the roof on the forward part of the cabin. That shelf attaches into the rail on the roof. The vhf sits there and is a convenient place for charts, etc... Anyway - I am guessing that I should have...

I noticed that interior lights would only stay on when the charger was on (hooked to shore power). Strange. Getting 13.6 volts or so at the house battery with charger on (original Guest) I believe. House battery is a 24DC-140 from Alliance. When charger is off, voltage would float down and...

I bought an axiom+ 9 RV in December for Xmas and installed in February. Charts were working well (lighthouse) for a few months and a few trips. Today, went down and turned on the mfd but not getting any chart detail. SD card "seems" fine (i.e when I pull the sd card out, the chart listing...

OK - after some time away was able to get down to the boat and pulled the MFD e7d raymarine and cable. It was feeding GPS into an icom M-302 VHF unit as well (0183). I rigged up a motor cycle battery to the unit with a 10A inline fuse and bypassed the cable (I was hoping just the cable or...

e7D went dead in the middle of a trip last week out on the Delta. Anyway, I will spend a bit of time troubleshooting but think I will replace. Leaning toward an axiom+ 9" with a RV-100 transducer. Curious if anyone has this setup? I have a separate radar (ipad/first watch), and will keep...

wrong area.

One of the reasons I bought a 2006 CD25 was the inside cabin height is at least 6'7" or so. I am 6'5" and love that I don't have to watch my head too much. Well, except for the door.... But I noticed on the c-dory web site the height is 6'1" in the cabin? They call it out as "Headroom: 6'1"...

Mercer Island. Some issues now getting on/off due to access to i-90, but very safe IMO. Wealthy tech execs live on the water, but if not on the water housing is somewhat reasonable.

Hi all - I am looking at putting in a radar (1st Watch Wireless) and am trying to figure out how to add a switch so that I can turn it "on/off" from the panel at the steering area. SPST I suppose. The front "rocker" switches next to the steering column are full, and so is the fusebox (12...

Twin hp90 (bf90a, carb) on c-dory 25. Starboard started right up. Port - "click click click" very rapid and loud. I figure solenoid or starter. Switch the emergency "parallel" on and started right up,. Battery is old - no punch out on the battery (new to me boat), but highest year was 2014...

If you don't like the electoral college then simply change the constitution. There is a process for that and it has been done. If I were a small state, I would not agree (and states need to agree - 3/4 IIRC) since it would limit their influence. I also don't see it as of any benefit as then...

Hi - I have been seeing random tach errors on my port engine. It will be at 3500 cruising then jump up to 6k, back down, then just wildly fluctuates. Engine is not changing rpm based on what I can hear. It has been going on for a year, but not too annoying as most of the time it works fine...

I started noticing the port engine exhaust above the water line puffing some white smoke and sputtering water. Motor seems to run fine - no alarms going off that I can tell and seems to start fine, and run find at idle and at WOT. CD25, 2006, port 850 hrs, starboard 606 hrs, 2006 BF90A...

Hi - Any thoughts on the reliability of predator engine generators? I know a lot of folks here use the Hondas and I am sure they are quite reliable. But seems to be a good deal on comparable off-brand model - much cheaper if the comparison is accurate. Not sure if this is "too much"...

Not sure what this is called, but on mine the rubber material is no longer there and there is basically an open hole. I assume it prevents water intrusion to the stern area by clamping around the voltage lines and steering lines. The pic is from Thataway as I forgot to grab a pic while on the...

Had an issue this weekend. Anchor dragged into a cable at about 35' (SF delta). Noticed an issue pulling up as it got very slow. Eventually popped the breaker. Found the breaker (new to boat). But, got out the hand crank and tried to get it up. We able, finally, using the boat hook and two...

Boat is CD25, twin BF90A hondas. Seem to run well. WOT is 5100-5200 or so. Top speed is just under 30mph or so. It seems that there is some range in RPM to move up in max speed. For anyone with twin 90s, what props are you using? My preferred cruising RPM is around 4000-4200 with about...

Our family recently purchased a 2006 c-dory with twin honda 90s. Been working on some issues (replaced water pump and raised it so not sitting in water in bulkhead) and will post another day with some questions on battery arrangement/VSR stuff/charging. Anyway, during the sea trial the...
