I owned a 22 for ten years, and upgraded to my current 25, four years ago. I'm on my fifth season I believe. I do miss the 22. But the 25 definitely offers more room. I am not sold that one rides better than the other. The 25 is more stable in list walking back and forth, as it's a little...

If interested, check out my youtube channel to see a video of my installing these bronze bushings. Colby

I'm excited. Hope it all rolls over smoothly! Colby

I had a Tohatsu 6hp on my 22, and it could push it at hull speed, or about 5mph. I wouldn't go much less than that in HP, but you really don't need more than that either. Unless you get up to a much higher HP, you're not going to get much more speed than what the 6hp produced. Colby

Install a Webasto heater! I had one in my 22, and now in my 25. Safe and efficient. At least as well as can be expected for an uninsulated C-Dory! 8) Colby

Thanks Jeff. I rethought the caps to seal the slider pin as well. Unless I'm sealing both ends, I think it's better just to leave them open so any water or sand can flush out. There is very little freeplay between the pins and bushing anyway. I may still have to grease the pins every so often...

I have my kicker set up to run off the second outlet port on my main fuel filter. I also have a small 3 gal fuel tank that I keep in my bilge as a back up emergency tank. I do not run ethanol in that little tank, so can draw from that one to fill my honda generator, or if I desire not to run...

- Looks like you were able to access the clamps for the vent/fill through the gunnel pockets? I.e., you did not have to pull the fill caps? Yes, I was able to get to the clamps thru the access ports, and also with removal of the steps. Not always able to see what I was doing, but could at...

Feel free to peruse my fuel tank issues on my 2009 CD-25... Colby http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=31093&highlight=fuel+tank+removal

Hot dang. I'm ready for the upgrade. My email is good! Thanks for all the hard work! Colby

Ok, I think I may have found/fabricated a fix for my brake calipers. This is my post on Facebook: For my mechanic friends. As I have complained about before, the rubber boots that my boat trailer brake caliper slider pins work through, tend to disintegrate after longer travel. I suspect they...

Yes, I have been having those search issues as well. I use the Enhanced by Google search box. I would find what I was looking for, and then when I clicked on the link, I would be taken to a page that says, Unable to Connect. I didn't know about the magnifying glass search, and just tried it. It...

oops. Posted in wrong thread...

I'd just stick them on a regular car battery charger, and see if the voltage is brought up and how long they hold the charge. If they work, they work. You may be able to find a date stamp on them somewhere. Also, I would check the casing to insure there is no damage anywhere.

I second Steve's mention of Hodges. I forgot to mention them with my earlier post. (I was actually thinking of Hodges when I typed Fisheries supply.) Colby

https://www.fisheriessupply.com/ is another store I have found certain items fairly priced. And many times, I find that West Marine, with it's sales, can offer a good deal. And at least with my local store, returns are very easy. I'm not sure, but I think they will price match as well.
