I started noticing the port engine exhaust above the water line puffing some white smoke and sputtering water. Motor seems to run fine - no alarms going off that I can tell and seems to start fine, and run find at idle and at WOT. CD25, 2006, port 850 hrs, starboard 606 hrs, 2006 BF90A...

Please sign up Tessa for this trip. Tess is berthed out of Pittsburg. Thanks! Karl _________________

Hi - Any thoughts on the reliability of predator engine generators? I know a lot of folks here use the Hondas and I am sure they are quite reliable. But seems to be a good deal on comparable off-brand model - much cheaper if the comparison is accurate. Not sure if this is "too much"...

Thanks everyone. Will go the split boot route to take care of it... Thanks for the links as well.

Not sure what this is called, but on mine the rubber material is no longer there and there is basically an open hole. I assume it prevents water intrusion to the stern area by clamping around the voltage lines and steering lines. The pic is from Thataway as I forgot to grab a pic while on the...

Good info on the hatches. May give that a try, but I do notice that the main leaking during wash-down is because my scuppers (2006 CD25) don't drain very fast, particularly the starboard side. And, it is clear that the starboard floor hatch is beyond repair (squeaks when you step on it, and...

We simply could not turn the ratchet counter clockwise at all. So we ended up just manually hauling in the anchor bit by bit until we could free it. Maybe attaching a come-along to the "cable" and pulling the load "off" the winch a bit would have unstuck it? Strange...

Had an issue this weekend. Anchor dragged into a cable at about 35' (SF delta). Noticed an issue pulling up as it got very slow. Eventually popped the breaker. Found the breaker (new to boat). But, got out the hand crank and tried to get it up. We able, finally, using the boat hook and two...

Boat is CD25, twin BF90A hondas. Seem to run well. WOT is 5100-5200 or so. Top speed is just under 30mph or so. It seems that there is some range in RPM to move up in max speed. For anyone with twin 90s, what props are you using? My preferred cruising RPM is around 4000-4200 with about...

Was able to get out today. Cruised up from pittsburg to rio vista, had lunch, etc... I put in the autopilot's new inline fuse (also replacing the fuseholder), crimped, heated up, and applied the black goo. Yeah - I am not sure why it was fed direct from the battery, but maybe that is a...

Thanks all. Once I get the fuse holder and water proof the connections I will give it a shot on the water. Seems to follow commands at the dock, so as long as it holds a course that is probably good enough for this old of a unit. If I can easily figure out the gps / waypoint stuff - bonus!

Our family recently purchased a 2006 c-dory with twin honda 90s. Been working on some issues (replaced water pump and raised it so not sitting in water in bulkhead) and will post another day with some questions on battery arrangement/VSR stuff/charging. Anyway, during the sea trial the...
