Thank you for all your great advice. You guys are the best! Robert Healy Fan C Dory

The light bar extension from my new radar pedestal, along with the all around nav light attached to the end, gives my boat on the trailer a vertical height of 14.83 (14ft./,83in.). I checked on the minimum vertical on federal highways and found it to be 16ft.. The minimum for state is 14ft.. I...

Thanks for all the info. You guys are the greatest!

I have a 2006 c-dory 25. What manufacture supplied the side nav lights on my model c dory. Does anyone know the exact model number. Has anyone had internal moisture problems with them? Thanks.

We have a 2000i honda generator onboard. Can the generator power our Coleman 13500btu air conditioner?

While we are on the subject of Honda generators, I have a question. I have a Honda 2000i onboard, the generator is connected to the c dory electrical thru a 15 amp pig tale connected to my 30 amp boat service. We have a coleman airconditioner (13500 btu) on the cabin roof. My question is can the...

Just filled up yesterday, same pump, outside tempt. with in 10 degrees of previous fueling and fueled to auto shut off. I started with full fuel and went on a 60 nm. round trip. We fueled as soon as we returned and boarded 27.2 gal. , the Honda fuel flow meter indicated 24.4 total fuel used...

I thought about theft. The boat is slipped in Fernandina Harbor Marina (Florida) where other boats are around, however the mooring field always has transit folks who come in on their tenders. I suppose someone could have come in the middle of the night. I may need to alert the marina?

Hi, I have a c-dory 25 which I have had the boat yard paint every spring for the last three years. She is in a wet slip most of the year and I find it helps keep marine growth at bay, however I think she is getting a little heavy from all the past coats of bottom paint. What are you using to...

Hi First of all, let me thank everyone for their comments on my past performance problem with Fan-C-Dory. The change in prop pitch did the trick! The vessel gained weight over time (i.e. additional equip.) and slowed in speed vs. rpm. Many had suggested the change in prop, which returned my...

Echomax looks like it's the KING of RTE's! I bought my first Sea Me in 2003 and my present Sea Me for my C-Dory several years ago. Perhaps if I did my homework I would of upgraded to the Echomax. All ships are required to have X band radar and operating, according to IMO rules. I think the S...

Hello, just a word on radar reflectors from Fan-C-Dory (C-Dory 25). We skipped the radar reflector for a radar transponder. The C-Dory has a very low profile, which makes it a real challenge to get the reflector any significant height above the water line. The advantage of the radar transponder...

Les, Thank you for your technical explanation; very well written and explained! I agree with your physical facts and just maybe getting some erroneous readings from my instrumentation? I dropped Fan-C-Dory off at the Honda dealer today and they will be pulling engine codes tommorrow. He felt it...

Okay, Okay, I'll unstrap the trailer next time and see if that makes a difference. Meantime I have varied the engine trim, played with the trim tabs and have checked the aft bilge for water(none found). I recall getting 23 kts WOT with ALL the extra items I have on it today, plus I had myself...

Hi Tom, Perplexing indeed! We were not turning the speed. I ran the boat in both directions to average the effects of the current. My Garmin GPS 5212 and 4210 have always been highly accurate in position and speed.

My boat, Fan-C-Dory (25ft. C-Dory) has a honda 150 four stroke for a main engine. The engine is a 2006 model and it has a stainless prop. I am the third owner of the boat and have had it for two years now. She ran WOT at approx. 25kts./ approx. 5300rpm. 11.5 gph // 12kts./approx. 3800rpm 5.0...

We have so far, three members commenting on a possible C-Dory gathering in Fernandina Beach, Florida. It would be nice if many more members could add to the dialogue. I was thinking a Fall time frame would be best? Perhaps late Fall, right after hurricane season ends? Your comments and...

Hi Fellow C-Brats, The MTOA (Marine Trawler Owners Association) just completed their week long rendezvous in Fernandina Beach Harbor Marina ( Fernandina Beach Florida, Just north of Jacksonville). The Marina is situated right on the downtown waterfront. Their members were so impressed by the...

We are looking for a quaint resort on Lake Champlain to base our C-Dory. We would like to rent a cottage with a dock/ Marina for the summer months. Any suggestions?
