Diane and I are looking forward to this event...

nanders01, In addition, no matter what truck you end up with I personally would recommend that you get a 4X4 especially towing a close to 8200 pound CD25. Many boat ramps are rather steep and wet. You will need all the grip you can get to safely launch or retrieve your boat... Heinz :wink

nanders01, I do have a CD25 also with two 90HP Honda motors. The weight of my boat, two motors, trailer, three batteries and 20 gallons of water and typical equipment for a weekend trip comes up to 7400 pounds. However, with a full tank of gas it weighs about 8150 pounds. Perhaps you might be...

We are so ready to go... Friday Harbor and Alaska... The best part is not the wonderful landscape and wildlife we will encounter but to enjoy the company of people who we will travel with such as Rob or the ones we will meet along the passage including the Friday Harbor C-Brats gang of...

Potter, Perhaps you want to take a look at http://californiadelta.org/ for information. Scroll down and look at the left side for the map and book and at the very bottom for events. Enjoy... Heinz

Thanks for all of your replies... The fuel tank is a plastic one and it does have a fuel sender unit I have access to. I will take your advise and go ahead with the replacement of the dual fuel hoses and the one of the vent hoses in addition to replacing the fuel sender gasket. Since the floor...

Since I purchased my 2004 CD25 I noticed the smell of fuel in the cockpit. Stronger with the canvas enclosure or warm weather. The fuel smell is emerging strongest from the rear starboard side below the splash well. Am I glad I quit smoking when I was 24... I did check the following...

Burgee arrived yesterday. Looks great... Thank you very much for your effort in coordinating this for all of us. Heinz & Diane

My humbled opinion for things that the factory could practically install for very little additional moneys or labor that possibly could entice folks to consider new C-Dorys over used models: o Standard, larger water tank(s) in forward berth for better weight distribution, perhaps 30 gallons...

Ditto... I can confirm beermanPDX findings since I have same configuration on my CD25. Heinz

rogerbum, Please add 4 to the list for needing a ride... Diane & Heinz - Lighthouse Express Barbara & Larry - Blue Max Thank you very much. Heinz

Fellow C-Brats, I indeed have a Lehr 2.5 HP outboard motor for my dinghy. I did have the opportunity to use it at Lake Powell and on the Sacramento River. There are pros and cons as with any motor though. I will tell you about my findings which might be different from other Lehr outboard...

Thank you very much for all your input... I will review your thoughts and recommendations and move forward with my upgrades. Heinz

Sunbeam, I do like your way of thinking... I also like information. A $149.00 does not seem to be to bad for something accurate. I have to take a closer look at it online and see if I can monitor multiple batteries and what shunts I need to look for current readings. Christmas is...

Sunbeam, Didn't you have a voltmeter in your dashboard already when you got your CD22? Your BMV-600S looks very nice though. I assume it is a lot more accurate than the analog ones...

Sunbeam, I will copy your directions on how to display an image into my Documents directory on the hard drive since I may not remember the procedure in three month... (':lol:') Heinz

Sunbeam, Thanks for making the schematic visible... I did try that but was only able to get the link??? Heinz

Thataway, Thank you very much for your reply… I truly appreciate your feedback. Perhaps I can address some of your concerns. Dual purpose batteries are ideal for applications that require starting and deep cycle service. They deliver powerful cranking amperage for easy starting, and low...
