Roger, thanks. Will try it.

Not always that easy. :roll: Need to order parts now so when I'm not doing 14hr days, 6 days in a row, not getting off work till it's already dark and the storage lot is closed. If someone already knew, then great.

I guess what I meant to ask is if the C-Dory (venter 26) has the house and start battery to a common ground. Yes: I'll buy non-isolated DC to DC. No: I'll buy isolated DC to DC. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm going to install a DC to DC charger between house and start batteries. I have lead start and lithium house. The PO has a ACR which is bi directional and this the lithium is keeping the relay connected. Are the house and start batteries share a common ground? I have only had my 26 venture...

I need to access the trim tab to replace it on the starboard side. I have unbolted the two ears on the tank; one in the front, one on the side by the bilge pump. I pulled the two platic strips on the floor infront of the tanks. I have not pulled hoses yet, but I cannot lift or move the tank. Is...

I'll be hanging a 10hp kicker on the back of my Venture 26. It should move me at hull speed. 1) 82lb 9.8hp carbureted 2) 95lb 9.9hp EFI. It will also serve as the engine for my dinghy. 13lbs is a lot more weight on the back of a dinghy and my wife (160?) and I (230) are heavy. No dingy I buy...

Thank you for the information. I see your point about bad fuel affecting both engines.

Good to hear. I thought my 21 was a little big. Sounds about right.

Just seeing what you all have for weight on the end of your rode. Not concerned with what type/model of anchor you all have. People have different ones for different locations and are fiercely defensive about their anchor choice. I have a 21 lb anchor for a Venture 26.

I had thrusters on my 30' cutwater. Wow, loved them. Docking and loading on a trailer was so stinking easy. I also had a stern thruster so I could move the boat horizontally to. Way to simple to boat. THey were a factory option and installed. However, they occassionally sucked air (bow)...

Can you provide some details? I'd like to get a dinghy in the future. I "think" I will do a 9.8hp kicker for my Venture 26 and use it for my dinghy. This will weigh about 84 lbs. Too much to easily lift. I used to have a Cutwater C30 with single diesel, so used a Tohatsu 20hp (94lbs) and...

I left Ca decades ago. Florida rocks.

I have a separate 206ahr lithium. I would not mix different capacity or brands. Thank you for the tip. There are 12v ac that only consume 18 amps DC when running in eco mode. A single 300 watt panel would run it for hours in peak heat and then some. Also, at 18 amps single 200ahr lithium...

Where do you put it all? My last boat was a Cutwater C30. I had two 435watt panels on it. I've seen it pump out 55amp DC. It ran everything! Anchor alarms, 2 phones, 2 tablets, lights, inductive stove, convection microwave combo, two fridge/freezer combos, blender, stereo, etc. I could...

I recently bought my 2018 cd venture 26. I was very excited to find one that was only a few hours from my house and decently priced, and almost perfectly optioned. I was amazed at how hard it was to find a cDory in Florida. My job has me in California for 2 months right now. I went through...

I have tons of tools and boat repair supplies. I was just being more specific about engine components. I did not think about a spare squeeze bulb for fuel, but they do get old and crack. I'll add that to my list. Probably more than one fuel filter would also be a good idea and kiss you get a...

I have a 200hp Suzuki on my Venture 26. I may travel places where there are no readily available parts. What do you all carry to do fixes in the middle of nowhere? Obliviously we cannot carry everything in the small boats, no special tools to fix them. I'm handy, and can tear down a motor...

I think I will run it empty and pull it for now. No need for heat in Florida.

My venture 26 has a Wallace stove heater combo. I plan on using an inductive cooktop. How do you winterize the stove so it doesn't get plugged with dried diesel?

Went to talk to a c-dory dealer about a 25 cruiser this December. With the stove, Frigerator, and anchor, and A 175 Suzuki plus trailer was looking about 175k.
