For all of you who own EFI engines and have fuel management gauge, what is your average fuel consumption. I have 100hrs and have used 226 gallons to date. Gary

Rated 2x50 hp 5700 max 32 mph

Ken I did not really want to tell any of the C-Brats what size props I am using. Cause What work for on boat might be quit different for another. All I know is with some trial on all the other prop that I try, I could not get maximum rpm and also top speed of 30 to32. Now I can achieve those...

In my case I took they advises of some of you a while back. Ask my dealer to supply me with props until I could achieve maximum rpm. took 4 set of props, all test where done full fuel, 2 adults, one large dog ,dinghy. The set of props that I choose let me reach my maximun rpm 5800 , cruise at...

Rollie it might not be practical in your situation to go with dual controls. Unless you are willing to spend a fair amount of money ! Let me try to clarify my self, if you do not intend to buy new engines , in your situation you would have to get rid of your existing controls. I believe you...

Yes Mike your right , you have to have the Sea Star hydraulic system in order to have dual steering. Sorry about being slow for the pictures, believe it or not I do not own a digital camera yet! Seems that every time I got the money to buy one , I come back home with something for the boat...

Here is my update on my dual station . When I first saw that boat 15 years ago , I knew then that one day I would be owning one. Here we are 2005 C-DORY with 100 hrs almost on it . I told Sharon that I would buy this boat only if I could have steering & trottles control in the back. My dealer...

Thank you Joe, know I can go shopping ! Gary

Nice set up Joe , what is your candle power , don't have any clue about what to buy for search light. Have been told, that you have to have quite a bit of candle power in order to be happy with your search light , because of the price one has to buy the right one so it does not sit there just as...

In my case it is the opposite, my seat should be higher and closer. Is there any pictures of any of you who had customize the seat, or installed a new seat. If I were to install a sliding bracket under my existing seat it should bring it up some and give me some adjustment forward. I did try to...

This forum is awsome. Thank you Roger and Chris , with both of your replies you have solved two of the problems I am having when loading the boat. First even with my side board guides the boat is a bit difficult to center, second the bow does not sit good on the front roller. I will be ordering...

On my twin 50s I do have this cavitation problem, in turns, sometimes even going straight ahead at 10 to 14 knots my engines change noise without changing the RPM. When you mention the height of the engines could it be that the dealer had installed them the wrong way? My C-Dory was the first...

Hi I noticed on Da Nag pictures, that he as 4 boards bunk trailer . Is this trailer for a 25' or 22' . I have 2- 11' boards on mine , so all you long time owners of C-Dory that are using Bunk trailer would you go 2 or 4 boards if you would have a choice? Gary SEA RAM

After 94 hours on my C- Dory I am coming to the conclusion that this boat is like all the women in my life. First you really have to know and understand every thing about them, once you do you find out that it is not that bad to handle different situations. You first take your time be patient ...

It looks like I am not getting a second GPS from you. Happy for you that it was returned that fast. I had one of my depth sounders sent away for repair at a flat rate. When it came back, it sure looked like it was a brand new unit. They probably did the same with your Garmin. Would be lot...

Don't no were you got your info about fORD owning 51% of Cummins that funny. Check it out trhought (Cummins) web site. Yes it would be nice one day to see a real Diesel (Cummins) in a Ford truck. I heard to the great vine that Ford is coming out with a new 6.? liter new engine again.... Even...

When I ordered my 2005 C-Dory my gut feeling was to have twin 50 E-TECH , I even told my dealer to cancel my Yamaha. But I got a little scared cause in January 2005 Evinrude dealer did not have the engines yet. So I did not want to wait for them, but now I regret my decision. Cause I beleive...

Here in BC Yamaha rules not because it a the best engine, but because dealer network is in every corner. By the way, one of the reasons Honda is such a big seller is it incentives on a lower interest when you buy Honda so have been told. Gary

Yes Gary you might be right about having the bow down to much. I gest the nature of C-Dory is to ride nose up some, specially in a choppy sea like you mentioned . But really 80 hours is not much on a new boat that is so different from all my other boats that I own. Never to late to teach old...

Thank you Charlie , don't get me wrong I love my C-Dory , I guest your right It sure handle different from every boats I ever own. I think the key is to find the proper setting for every conditions that we get on the water. Just have to patience I am sure it will get better in time. Gary
