All of the extracted foam

We decided to do like some other owners and cut 3 openings in our Vberth and remove the foam so that we would have more storage. I am truly amazed at how much room is under the berth. I have some questions input for you guys at the end of this write-up. How we did it..... I am not a very...

Port side vberth

Homemade connector for Generator to Boat

I'm going to try and attach an image of the weep hole. I wipe the lower unit fluid off each night and it doesn't show up again until the late afternoon sun hits it. We did have some freezing temps right after we brought the boat up from FL but the unit was tilted down and I wrapped a thick...

The C-Dory has been in the driveway for several weeks now. I walked by it yesterday and noticed that lower unit oil was dripping out of the weep holes. This is new. If it had been doing it I would have noticed it on the driveway and it would have had a pollen clogged trail down the motor...

I have a Yamaha 1000 and last year bought a 2000. I really like the Yamaha. I did a side by side and seems slightly quieter and a little less vibration than the Honda and it was cheaper. I have a rounded piece of starboard with stainless strap eyes on the port aft seat by the engine splash well...

The Thermacell does work. I have used them for years. Not so good at no-see-ums but does well for mosquitoes. I also use the green mosquito coils that you burn. They are cheaper. I treat my clothes and sleeping bagwith Permithrin. I had always avoided it bacause of the warning not to apply to...

These are some really great ideas. I am excited to research them all. I had not even thought of some of these trips. Trailer- I have never used our trailer and I need to bring it home from FL and may even bring the boat home so that I can work to get ready for a long trip. Ken- if the tires are...

Thanks everybody and please keep the ideas coming… BC and the San Juans- I’ve never thought about going there. I will do some reading and research. Thanks for the idea. Fuel Burn- I keep a detailed log and plan on going through it to see what I’ve been averaging. Kicker Motor- Thanks for all...

If you could take a month this year, probably July where would you take your C-Dory? The boat is in Destin FL and we live in Athens GA. We love the Keys and use to trailer a sailboat there. The Keys are at the top of our list but we want to think about other options. We could follow the...

Thanks to this group I checked the internal anodes on my 2007 150hp 425 hours and there was some left but not much to each of the 6 internal anodes. I could find no mention in the owners manual. I downloaded a shop manual online and it had a very basic but no details mention of internal anodes...

We really like the Claiborne Young guides for the Keys and Fl Gulf Coast. Not sure how up to date they are since he passed away a couple years ago. Our guide is 10 years old but had no issues with anchorages. For marinas I use the Internet.

Great advice. I appreciate it. I plugged the fuel line in the port the main engine uses BUT I did not point the primer bulb up. I held it down. I have an old par brass pump and I'll bring it with me as well. Now that I know it's "doable" I'll bring all my parts with me next week. We have a trip...
