Has anyone done a modification of the dinette converted to a bed where extra width is added for sleeping but can be removed when using the table in it's normal configuration? Thanks, Terry

We took our new to us C-Dory out for the first time on Thursday and slept overnight on our boat. We will be cruising Puget Sound mostly, but wanted to do our first outing close to home. We took our boat to Devil's Lake near Lincoln City. We had a great time and were able to make some decision...

When I purchased our 2000 CD22 in January, it came with updated twin 2005 Yamaha High Torque 50 HP EFI engines. The props that came on the boat are Yamaha 13.5 x 15K. I had our CD 22 out yesterday for the first major run. I found that in relatively calm water, I could get about 25 mph out of...

As the original poster, I thought I would pass along what four authorized Yamaha Dealers told me. The first was the lady that works at the front counter. She said that Hondas could be towed with the motors on the tilt brackets but Yamaha's could not. I called another dealer and the fellow...

I have read many places on the internet that suggest the motors be placed in the down position when towing the boat on its trailer. With Tortuga, I cannot do that because the motors are only about a foot off the ground when down. My album shows the position of the motors resting on their flip...

I just reversed the fabric to cut the threads but then turned it the correct way so that the finished side will be out when the foam is installed.

As always, C-Brats come through! When I bought Tortuga, it did not have a porta potti so I had no idea what this item was. Thanks! Terry

It is hollow and is plastic. I can look down through it and the crank does not do anything that I can see.

When I bought Tortuga del Mar, it had the item shown in my album in a box. The previous owner does not know what it is either. It has a crank that rotates only about 270 degrees and does not appear to do anything. Does anyone have any idea what this thing is and what it is used for? Thanks...

Thanks so much, Mike, I really appreciate it!! Terry

Hello C-Brats, I sent a message several days ago as suggested in the FAQ to Mike, TYBOO, to request a photo album be setup so I can upload pictures. I checked my PM folder from messages sent, and don't see a record of it being sent to Mike. I can't expect to have a photo album if the email...

Thanks for all the advice. This is what I ended up doing: I decided to replace all the old foam in all cushions because of the odor each had absorbed over time. I took the covers off of the cushions that had zippers. I took the smaller V-Berth cushion that is stapled to a plywood base and...

My CD22 has twin 50 HP EFI Yamaha engines. I will be storing my boat on my property at my vacation home during the summer. There may be periods of several weeks when I am not around. I have heard that on occasion, boats that have been left unattended, have their props stolen, and sometimes...

I am going to replace the foam in my 2000 CD 22 V-Berth. The fabric over the foam insert has a zipper all the way around it. It is the factory installed pad and cover. How is the best way to clean the cover before putting new foam in it? My local dry cleaner was hesitant to clean it thinking...

I have read all the threads on Memory Foam in the V-Berth, but I did not find an answer to my specific question. I have a 2000 CD22 recently purchased. The foam in the V-berth sunbrella cover is covered with thin plastic material then the foam. The foam is not mildewed, but has a funny smell...

Concur with previous posters. I have a 2000 CD Cruiser recently purchased. last 9 years under cover on a lift in fresh water. Bottom paint looks new. The other issue is Outboard condition. Have the outboards checked, especially when used in Salt. The original 40 HP twin Hondas were...

As the original poster to this thread, I have read all the great information with interest and learned quite a bit. It is interesting that the thread is now back to the original topic. I really like the idea about tying off from the cleat near the window with a length of rope attached to the...

Thank you all for the great suggestions. Looks like I may need more chain than what I thought. I don't think I will be getting a windlass. I am going to use the anchor and buoy system similar to a Columbia River system to save the wear and tear on my back. Terry

The existing chain is 3/16 in. not 3/8.

We bought Tortuga del Mar in January. She is a 22 ft. Cruiser. She came with 250 ft. of 7/16 3-strand nylon rode, 12 feet of 3/8 regular chain and a Northstar 7.5kg (16lb) anchor. The rode has one of the three strands severely frayed at the 90 ft. level. We have no other anchors. Here is my...
