I agree with Dr. Bob. We do what he did. But use a 5 gallon bucket of your choice with a little bit of water. (same as hanging it over the side) :lol:

We plan on being there this year. Always fun catching up. Question for Tom: Will there be water available at the docks?

If you have the option to get counter rotating screws, do it. The main purpose of doing this with twin engines is to utilize the prop walk when maneuvering with one engine in reverse and on engine in forward. The engine that is in reverse, will back or help pull the engine opposite of the other...

I have twin BF40s on my boat. One engine produces 17 amps of usable charging power. I use the ECOFLOW River Pro power station. I bought a 300watt pure sign wave inverter to charge it up to 200 watts of AC output. That's the max amount one engine can charge with keeping the voltage at 14 volts...

Great post, pictures, and sense of humor. Total awesomeness! Thanks for sharing!

Rooftop for our boat is the way to go for us. Mostly because we use it while underway in the summertime at 18 kts.

When I made my 22 models. I lofted up a half-hull model from my full sized C-Dory. I placed blue tape at 1 foot intervals all over the hull. Took a picture of it then was able to transfer and scale the boat down to make a half hull. That turned into a full wood model then to a mold to multiply...

Durable, thinner blades, less drag, looks great, better top end, no flex, better fuel economy.

I repowered my Honda 40's last year. Using Honda Stainless props 11 1/8" x 13" now. I like them better than the aluminum props from the old carbureted 40's. (I ran the same pitch)

According to C-Dory.com, a new one weighs 3020 lbs.

I'm having the same problem with my fuel too. I'm very particular with my fuel and actually test it for ethanol before dumping into my boat fuel tanks from the 5 gallon totes. (Amazon has a cheap reusable tester for this) But.... I got water in my tanks. My tank cap gaskets are good, I apply...

Welcome. I was a sailboat person too. Now look at it like leaving the dark side. My stern anchor storage is a 5 gallon bucket with 1" holes drilled in it. I use a 15# Bruce knock off with zero chain and 1/2", 3 strand nylon line. Going against anchoring rules the I find that the Bruce anchors...

Check your throttle control cable on the engines, ensure the pushrod throw on each engine are matching. They may have got out of adjustment or the stopper nuts have loosened. lower both engines. remove engine covers, with engines off, push both the shifters all the way to the stops (full...

I second the gallons per hour/ distance. (what Bob said) We owned a 34' sailboat with a 25 hp diesel. Had it for 18 years, took it from the Keys to the Chesapeake twice and many times to the Bahamas. Motored at 5 kts burning about 1 gallon per hour at whatever the RPM was (no gauge). Our C-dory...

List it with price you paid for it, - %10. Then if you don't get any hits. Lower the price - %5 more. Go as low as - %20 off the purchas price. it should sell.

Has anyone out there vinyl wrapped there C-Dories yet? I know about the pros and cons of doing this, verses the tradional ways. I have Poly Glowed, buffed, waxed, painted my previous boats. (Please respond to this post only if you have vinyl wraped your c-dory hull) Looking for...

I second the importance of a good ground. I chased bad grounds last year on my trailer. Found out that the wiring was corroding under its insulation only getting 7 volts to the back of the trailer. Trailer is only 4 years old. I replaced all my wiring with heaver gauge tinned marine wiring...

The old BF40s would run at WOT 5500 rpms make 20kts. Cruise at 4500 rpms burning 1.5 GPH each (3 gph combined) (17 kts) New BF40s EFI at WOT 5500 make 22 kts. (way to fast for me) Cruise at 3800 rpms burning 1.2 GPH each (2.4 gph combined) (17 kts) This is where the torque matters...
