We have a 2006 CD 25 and last year we put a Go Overland Journey X Lite rooftop tent on it. It's under 100 pounds and we used Yakima rail mount roof racks. Initially we thought daytime use at anchor would be the primary use, most for our daughter, but after having it up there for a few months we...

Thanks Colby for documenting this. Its on my list and this will help allot.

Also check all your fittings/clamps. Last summer I had a loose one that was allowing air to be drawn in at higher RPM/load. The engine would sputter and almost stall.

I agree older sewing machines can be just as good if not better than new. I started work on the cockpit enclosure using a Husqvarna machine built in 1980. I got it at a garage sale and it had a low gear for canvas work. It was fine until I got into stitching the vinyl windows. I looked for a...

I made a full cockpit enclosure for our 25 a few years ago using supplies from Sailrite - sewing machine, fabric, zippers, etc. It was a fun challenge and the sewing machine has come in handy for lots of other projects. I plan to make a slant back cover this winter as well. I do have a slant...

Thank you for documenting your work so well.! This is something that I will likely need to do soon.

I have the same year and colour CD25. My manual lists the gel coat manufacturer as COOK White 953WA441. Unfortunately accent colour is not listed (blank).

I will definitely let you now how it works out if I go with the Pro. Cant have too many spare parts around, at least that seems to be my philosophy. Do you recall the PSI rating on the valves you purchased. I am looking at a set rated at 800 which should work, wondering if you went with...

Colby, thank you very much! My plan was to start a process of elimination by removing the AP and the second helm and then pull everything apart, check for issues and then reinstall piece by piece until I isolated the problem. Without the information you provided in your post I would have...

We have a CD 25 with twin Mercury 90 CT’s, both standard rotation. I have two helms and autopilot and stiff steering has has been an ongoing issue. When trimmed down there is allot of resistance when turning to port and very little resistance when turning to starboard, so little that I often...

Thanks all, the boat has been sold.

2006 C-Dory 22 Cruiser – Nanaimo BC https://nanaimo.craigslist.org/boa/d/na ... 36974.html We purchased Papa Boat in 2017 and have enjoyed cruising the Gulf and San Juan Islands. We have upsized to a CD25 Cruiser so Papa Boat needs a new home. Dual axle King trailer with rollers – all new...
