Congrats, Administrators, on the transition to the new site! It sounds like it was a Herculean effort, I am glad to see it is up and running. I hope it doesn't keep you tooooo busy chasing down bugs, etc. The point of this post is that The System offered to give me a trophy for my first post...

Clearly this is more of a newbie issue than a technical steering issue, but can you(s) offer some tips for maintaining steering at low speeds? I find that idling around the harbor at 1000ish RPM (prox 4 kts), I have difficulty maintaining a straight course, and if I deviate from straight, I...

On my new-to-me 2006 Cape Cruiser 23, I have a plastic cap in the transom just below the engine. Under the plastic cap is a 120V-15amp plug. When I put power to the plug, nothing happens. When I put power to the plug AND turn on the inverter switch at the helm, I get power to a 120V outlet on...

I am the brand new and proud owner of a 2006 Cape Cruiser 23. As a rank amateur, I question whether I am doing this right, as shown in the photo below. Apparently, first you buy a boat; then you put the boat on a trailer; then you put the trailer on a ferry over water. Somehow, I thought...

After more than eight years of toying with buying a C-dory, I finally aligned the stars and bought a 2006 Cape Cruiser 23 from Lopez Island. Go me! My intent is to go pick it up in early May. It would be great to see you all at the Friday Harbor CBrats Gathering, but I will have to pass due to...

I seem unable to reliably send or reply to private messages. I suspect it is user error, and would appreciate help removing the error. Specifically: Sometimes I try to send a message (for example, in response to an ad that says "PM me"), and my response languishes in my "Outbox," without...

I haven't been able to buy "my" 2000s C-dory 22 high top yet. Sometimes I feel like my shopping efforts are more of a mental exercise than actual movement toward a goal :-). That notwithstanding, a year ago I convinced myself that a Venture 23 could work for my projected need. Recently, I have...

This is just a reminder there's a button to help fund this site in the top left corner of the home page. I jingled the Tip Jar this morning, and suggest that you do, too. What precipitated my paying is that the site was down for a couple of days (for me, anyway) which provided a stark reminder...

I sure do appreciate this site. I don’t post much, but I appreciate that we’re all here together. Lately, I messed with some settings on my Iphone SE, and now I find that my phone often (tho not always) logs me off the site when I navigate away. This is new, for me. I had similar logout issues...

Either I am slightly losing my mind, or posts are occassionally showing up as new several days after their initial appearance. For instance, right now there is a New Today post for a 2006 C-dory named “Miss Maria.” I am almost positive this exact same post was new last week. But I see no...

I am having trouble getting off the fence with regard to buying my first C-Dory, and I wonder how others have made the leap. Specifically in my case • I am a novice boater (kayaks, paddleboards, canoe). • Probably the acquisition and operating costs of a 22' Cruiser will not make a...

On the internet, I am looking at the chain locker area of a C-22, and I note a series of patches in the fiberglass just below the hull/deck joint. The patches are located in a position that they seem as if they are part of the backing for the rub rail. My question is, "is this factory work?"...

This is not my boat, but I saw it on C/List and thought I'd better pass it along https://anchorage.craigslist.org/boa/6188933500.html Ad copy reads: This is not my boat, and I know nothing about it except what I read in the ad. Contact info for seller is in the C/List ad
