2007 C-Dory 22' Cruiser, "Big Blue" US$35,000 Overview: I am the second owner of this great boat. I am selling to upgrade to a Ranger tug, and will greatly miss this boat! She does it all: cruising, fishing, crabbing, shrimping, exploring tide pools and shallows, sightseeing, day trips, etc...

Hey all, hope you're getting out and enjoying some of the great weather (at least here in the PNW)! After my recent electronic work, I'm now delving into lower units for gear oil and water pump kits. I have twin etec 50s, 2007 models. I've removed everything I need to in order to drop the...

Hi all, I've been chasing some electrical issues down, after my recent toasting of my starter batteries. I have a strange issue, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me so far. I'm in a 2007 22' cruiser, that was rigged by Les at EQ Marine, i.e. a really nice rigging job. It runs 2 starter...

Hello all, happy summer to you. I run two starter batteries, and a single large house battery. They are all Odyssey AGMs, and all are about 4 years old. My boat has a three-bank TrueCharge 20 which has served reliably so far. It also has a remote monitor panel, which only shows two batteries at...

Hey everyone, I'm in spring project mode, can you tell? I installed a Jabsco 6gpm washdown pump, using lots of the tips I gleaned from others on the site. Here is a writeup of what I did and a number of photos at the end. In short, I wanted to do a non-permanent installation as a starting...

Hey everyone, The original owner of my boat did some nice touches to add a bit of tug/maritime/old school feel. One such item was using bronze cleats for the sides and rear, and he made a t-bollard for the bow. Through my neglect, the bollard has delaminated, and I always had a hard time using...

Hey all, I have had a problem with one of my 2007 etec 50s since late last year, where it would turn over very slowly, almost not turning at all, and then start. I tore into things yesterday to see what I could find, and wanted to document it for the list. Obviously disconnect the battery...

Hi all, I've been searching/perusing the topics on hole repair, and they seem to address holes into the core only. That is some good reading, and a good winter project for my tabs and transducer. Please redirect me if I've missed it, but I'm looking for an article or information on repairing...

Howdy all, hope you are enjoying the great weather. Had three days on the Columbia chasing sturgeon, lots of fish but no keepers this time out. While there, we were making morning coffee. You may recall that I recently had to clean out my regulator to get the Kiss to light, but all has been...

Apologies for posting in the wrong forum, but hoping to reach more people this way. Running twin e-tec 50's, and running low on oil. Went to buy more, and only Yamalube is available. PO gave me a gallon of Evinrude xd100, which is what I've been running. I don't know, however, whether the...

Once again thanking everyone for all the advice on the previous "getting to the San Juans" thread. Got a late start from Bainbridge this morning, with a less than perfect weather forecast, but figured we'd get to Pt Townsend and have a peek into the Strait and stay the night in Pt T if needed...

Howdy all, Heading out for our first cruise in the San Juans next week, Thu-Mon. I've perused the many threads here about destinations, but feel free to add your favorite "must-see's". I'm actually wondering about getting there in the first place. We live on Bainbridge Island (aka Braindead...

Hey everyone, thought I'd create a new topic with the correct metal in the name, and with photos of the actual installation, as an archival piece for the next dude/dudette who decides it's a good idea to cut a giant hole in his/her boat... For starters, thanks to all for the great info on the...

The butane stove was working flawlessly this morning, and suddenly quit. the canister is still about 25% full, but I don't know how much gas is left when they are considered empty. I don't have any other good explanation. Anyone out there able to save my morning coffee? bmc

Hey everyone, I had someone once tell me about a really cool little cove, and I'm drawing a total blank on location and name. They even showed me a photo. I want to say it was the east side of Vancouver Island. They were on a sailboat charter, and they got there early, and there were...

Good morning everyone, The previous owner of my 22 gave me three portholes with it. One 8 inch circle, and two 5 inch circles, all from New Found Metals in PT. The 8 inch circle goes over the galley, he had the window there left off the hull when it was made. That one will be pretty...

Greetings to all, Looks like we were priced a bit high, have reduced price to reflect book value. Feel free to contact me with questions! Will be adding more pictures after lunch. Ben ----------- This boat is light grey, and has caught a lot of shrimp, crab, salmon and sturgeon! Add your...

As another option to the halibut, I took a trip to Astoria last year to try to fish the estuary for sturgeon. I'm well familiar with fishing in the Columbia below Bonneville dam, but didn't really know where to fish in Astoria. We hung out fairly close to town just up river from the bridge, with...

OK, for some reason I had it in my head that halibut was a June fishery, but it looks like most areas close June 2, except Seiku (June 28). Are their other opportunities for halibut during June, and how is the fishing around Seiku/area 5? Alternatively, how about fishing for lings/cod/etc. in...

Well, I have now become the latest C-Brat to make the progression from 16 to 19 to 22. I have no regrets however, each boat was appropriate at the time we purchased it, based on family size, garage space, and budget. I also didn't go looking for a 22, it came looking for me! It was more like a...
