Nice to hear from C-Dory owners of larger models regarding handling characteristics in choppy conditions. As far as a weekend getaway trailerable boat, C-Dory is still our favorite option. White caps and short period waves will be a problem for almost any trailerable that has overnighting...

We've had our 16' C-Dory for years and want to move up to an overnight cruiser C-Dory. But I've heard the earlier hulls for the larger boats were also fairly flat and had trouble with chop and whitecaps as well. Did the hull go more v-shaped at any year on the larger boats? Thanks. Geoff.

Does anyone know the make of the manual windshield wipers that were used in the 16' C-Dory?

Hi. I want to add a port side manual wiper that matches the starboard side one. Does anyone have a spare one that they've replaced with a motorized wiper and would be willing to sell to me? I'd like them to match and the ones I'm finding online don't seem to be the same as what I have. I can...

The AFI/Marinco manual wipers sold now at West Marine are different than the one in my '91 C-Dory 16 Angler. Anyone know where to find a matching unit to my original so I can mount it on my port side windshield? Have a photo I can email if that will help. Thanks.

Finally got around to replacing the lock on our C-Dory 16 forward compartment. As suggested, Home Depot has a good one. It's a brass "Mailbox Lock" S-4648C made by PLPCI, a Redlands, CA 92374 company. Bar code is 49793 94648. Under $7. I had to increase the depth of the larger underside hole...

Hi Marty. Thanks for the tip. I have a Home Depot about 30 minutes from here, so I'll give them a try. Appreciate the help. Geoff

Hi. Does anyone know a source for the small lock that goes on the folding hatch to the forward storage area on a 1991 16' C-Dory? I've checked Perko and Southco, and they don't seem to have a match. The upper part of the lock is 7/8" wide, goes through an 11/16" hole in the 3/4" thick teak ply...

Found a great pair of replacement seats that fit my tight 16' Angler's space. My old seats were too wide, and hit the throttle and hit just below the side windows. Ordered two seats from Cabbelas and they are a perfect size and contour. Item IK-01-7298 Cabela's Angler Clamp-On Lowback Seats in...
