Hi All, I have a 2007 CD25 and I need to replace the cockpit steps. I called the factory today and they said they would give me a call back if they can help. Do any of you have any other suggestions? Thanks, Dick

Hi All, Went to the boat today and found the engine wouldn't start. Ignition panel switch and lights look good and the batteries are fully charged but engine makes rapid stream of clicks and won't turn over. I cleaned all the battery terminals and connections but no success. Could it be the...

I'm thinking about adding a full camperback to my CD25 to increase the usable space and boating season. Can anyone give me a rough estimate of what it would cost? Thanks, Dick

Hi All, I need to replace my batteries and was thinking about installing two deep cycle Everstart Group 27 batteries for starting and house use. My concern with doing this is that the Honda 150 has a CCA rating of 622 and the Everstart batteries have a CA rating of 720 - will this work? The...

I keep the boat in the water year round here in Annapolis and use it pretty regularly. The last time I had the bottom cleaned and painted was in July 2009. Recently, I noticed a decrease in performance and was pretty sure it was due to the marine life that grows quickly this time of year on the...

Hi All, This past Saturday I discovered that my pilot station electrical panel, GPS and VHF Radio stopped working. The engine starts fine, the AC power through the shore connection works and so does the anchor windlass. I checked all the fuses, which all seemed fine, and checked all the reset...

Hi All, This past Saturday I ventured from Annapolis to Oxford on the Chesapeake Bay in a small craft warning. I did this to learn more about the handling capabilities of my CD25 and to improve my skills. On the way down to Oxford I was going into a pretty rough two foot chop. I was able...

Hi All, I'm looking to install fishing rods racks on the ceiling of my CD25. The racks I'm considering come with relatively short mounting screws. Is it OK to use these screws in the ceiling or should I use glue / epoxy? Thanks, Dick

This past weekend I discovered that my water pressure pump is not working. This is the second pump that has gone bad in the last year. Cutter Marine kindly replaced the pump last year, but I am no longer closely located to them. I also noticed that the holding tank was full and we have hardly...

We've had a lot of rain here in Annapolis and I've noticed that my self bailing cockpit is not draining very well. I stored the boat outside and uncovered last winter and believe that the self bailing drains may be clogged with debris, although I can't see or feel anything. Do you have any...

Hi all, It's so nice being able to ask questions to the "been-there-done-that" folks out there who've already experienced many things with their boats. My question is about curtains for ours-right now we have the snap-on covers for the windows that came with the boat but the snaps are already...

Laurie and I have had our new CD 25 since May 2007. We are very pleased with it and look forward to enjoying it for many years. I grew up on the Chesapeake but haven't had a boat since I was 20 - 30 years ago. Laurie convinced me to buy a boat now rather than wait until I retire - she's a...

We have a new C-Dory 25' and are looking to get some bedding for the inside cabin. Does anyone have any suggestions as to websites we can go to? We could also use some suggestions on storage, etc. Thanks, Laurie
