We experience fuel starvation at about 2000RPM, and we expected to find either a sticky antiphon valve or a flatten end of the pick up as others have described. On each of our 30 gallon tanks, the fuel pickup is screwed into a hole in the top of the tank which is slightly canted such that the...

When we cut out an inspection hole in the forward cabin sole (between the forward berths), we found the area full of water (the space is 3 and 1/2" deep and the water was to the bottom edge of the hole). We vacuumed out 16 gallons of water trapped between the bow and back of the cabin against...

Although it may seem to a casual viewer, that much is made of very little (to paraphrase Shakespeare), I have, too, found over the years that the many forums have been a great source of invaluable information. This site is unique, and I greatly admire those who set it up and maintain it. Since...

Hi Mike, Good Idea. I already have a guzzler manual pump plus three other electric bilge pumps. This gives me at least 10 minutes before I have to beach it and drain the water. By the By, did you remember to cc the C-dory folks on the Hull, Deck, and Fittings thread? "Bilge Question--Where...

During some rough water, we had considerable water leak from that hose connection referred to by Ross. There is a topside exhaust cap that can be closed to prevent water intrusion in heavy seas. It is aimed at sailboats, but I see no reason it won't work on our venture. I'm a little concerned...

I discovered the the C-dory folks posted a thread about water under the bilge area in May of 09 In the Hull, Deck, and Fittings forum. It seems they have the same problem we have with the Venture. Tim and Dave

Dave (C-Voyager) of Toland Marine (The New Marinaut) has an excellent reply about how the Ventures were built with the double hull configuration, and what might account for water intruding into the between hull void. See toward the end on page 5 of the thread "Water Under Aft Cockpit of 07...

This sounds exactly like the Venture problems with water under the aft cockpit. See great pictures of the under cockpit area by Pacific Wanderer in the recent photo section on the home page. Many of us Venture owners have added an aft inspection plate (between the fuel tanks) and one...

Ross has great pictures of the area we have all been referring to under the aft cockpit and under the cabin floor. On our 07 Venture (made by the original builders) the water tank is in the bow and the spar goes down the middle of the cockpit floor. The next series was made by the C-dory...
