Try seasucker vacuum mounts (Seasucker.com). I Have used them for rod holders and fender attachment points. Expensive, but for those of us that avoid drilling holes at all cost, these do work.

I just used spectrum gelcoat patch paste to repair some dings in the blue gelcoat of my 2008 22. I was afraid the color would be off but it turned out great. I bought my spectrum patch kit from iboats, because they were a little cheaper. Good luck.

We use Pettit Ultima SR 60. Great Paint! The boat is kept in the water from April to November here in costal NC. The paint has been on the boat for 3 years with only 1 recoat at the water line. I'll probably re-paint next spring and plan to use the same stuff, regardless of the cost.

Sorry for the confusion. I installed the ports over 2 years ago so I had to dig out the tech data on the ports. The ports I installed were actually Vetus PQ51 stainless ports. Mine used stainless hardware to connect the main body of the port to the interior trim ring, hence the acorn nuts...

Ok, the pictures of the ports are in my album, "Wave Walker". If you have any further questions, just let me know. Have Fun!!

I installed two of the PW30 round ports and have had no problems with them. To install mine, I placed them at the center of the vertical portion of the v berth (top to bottom). Then I used the interior trim ring as a template and simply slid it toward the bow until I could no longer maintain a...

Here in North Carolina, the main problem is heat. So we installed a round vetus port on both sides of the raised deck area of the v berth. Not only do they look great but the ports help to ventilate the v berth area in the summer and winter. We also installed a small vetus ocean series hatch...

Hi Erma, Hopefully, Karen and I will be able to make it to the get together this year. Unfortunately, we've not been able to join you for the last two get togethers because of job conflicts or other obligations. We were able to spend a few nights at Whittaker Point over the last couple of...

Hi Rich, To answer your questions, yes, I did find a lot of water that remained in the area of the second inspection port (behind the main cabin bulkhead). I removed it with a shop vac and a sponge. However, water continued to collect there for several days. The foam was still intact but I...

About 6 months ago, I noticed a substantial crack developing between the rear cabin bulkhead and the cockpit floor. After probing the crack, I located a rather large hole that could allow significant amounts of water to seep in to the void under the cockpit floor. I dipped a piece of dowel...

As the owner of a C-Dory 19, I recommend at least a 75 and probably a 90 hp outboard. Our dealer recommended the Yamaha 90 and was absolutely correct. We have been very pleased with the performance and fuel consumption of the engine. Believe me, you will need the 90 and trim tabs when the boat...

Karen and I would like to thank Carrie and Gene and Tracy and Larry for all their hard work that made the weekend such an enjoyable experience for us. As relatively inexperienced C-Dory cruisers, it was a wonderful way to meet knowledgable and pleasant people who really know how to enjoy their...

We ordered the factory enclosure for our C-Dory 19 through our dealer and requested the screen option. The enclosure was well made and fit perfectly. The zip in panels were made of sunbrella and extremely heavy clear vinyl with screens sewn on the outside of the vinyl. The vinyl panels zip open...

I agree with Tom. Fortunately, We went boat shopping at the local C-Dory dealer on a sweltering NC summer day, just like the weather in which we usually boat. We ultimately picked the 19 over the 22 because of the open back and significant difference in the cabin temperature. Our boat was...

After sailing for most of our lives, we purchased a C-Dory 19 last year. After using the boat for awhile, we had the factory camper back installed. We absolutely love it and think it was well worth the money. However, since our boat is rack stored, we modified the top supports to allow the...
