C-Dory Owner's Manuals

Hey guys - I'm swamped at work right now, but will take care of this later tonight or tomorrow.

Art emailed me his CD 25 manual, no need to bust it up into multiple parts. I'll use my super powers to upload it as a single document, then delete the extraneous posts in this thread.
 
I have 2008 C-Dory 26 Venture hull number one. I did not get a manual for the boat with it. I would really appreciate a copy of a manual from an early hull number 2008 26 Venture if someone can provide one.
 
Art's CD25 manual has been attached to the first post in this thread, along with the others.

Thanks Art!
 
Matt,
You are quite right abt the capacities. My 2005 model CD25 has an AL gas
tank with a mfg label noting a 117gal tank. My measured water is 30 gal..
Holding tank only a SWAG.

Thanks Bill for opening the gate.

Thanks, Art, for uploading the CD25 manual that you have.

We know per Jeff Messmer that there WAS no "official" CD25 manual when the CD16, CD19 and CD22 manuals were made available. I got a 3 ring binder from C-Dory that just had the literature on the components in it. Art got this manual, and now Sea Sport says it is not "official."

Lindhouts - IS there now an official CD25 manual? Is there any reason in the world you can't make it available here? Thanks!

Per Jeff, the 25 Cruiser and 255 Tomcat manuals are still being worked on. Once available, I'll add them here as well.

Thanks, Jeff!

Update: C-Dory 25 Manual provided by Art (Sea Angel). Per Sea Sport, this CD25 manual is not the "official" version.

One more thought.......... :idea

May I state the obvious with a hope that everyone that uses the CD25
Manual will customize it to their own configuration; even if the changes
are pen or pencil.

I have added the 'economy sheet protectors' ( from Office MAX) to my
manual to collect the information from different manufacturers to
supplement such things as the care of the water cooled air conditioning
system and its components as well as alignment instructions on such
things as the wiper arms.

Include in your manual the purchase and registration, MMSI and other
common information items, then you find it to be a most valuable work
and reference book.

After all the above is done to your satisfaction... Now you have an
OFFICIAL Customized CD-25 Manual unique to only your boat.

Come on Spring.......... :smiled :smiled

Absolutely....I basically created my own Tomcat manual with corrected capacities (from the then C-Dory builders), instructions for what each battery selector switch position means (it's a mystery when you first get the boat), how to align the engines via the hydraulics, added a Lewmar windlass manual, etc., etc., etc.
 
Looking for Toland family history and beginning of the C-Dory history....or Marben Marine as they were called possibly in their early days.

Any help?

Own again the last 18' C-Dory made, hull #14 and just wanted to put together some documented company and family history.

Thanks.
 
Patrick,

The USCGAux Vessel Safety Inspector that did my boat VSI last month at Friday Harbor said he owned (or owns) a Toland 18.8. I remember seeing one around Friday Harbor on occasion. There was also one at Cape George on Discovery Bay but that was a few years ago that I saw it. I have no idea if it is still threre or not.

Just purchased a 2006 Tomkat. If anyone has a manual and can figure out how to post here for me to download I would really appreciate it as ours had no manual with it. Thanks in advance.
 
That is a great question. When we bought our new 23 Venture back in 2017, we were given the owner's manuals provided from the factory on the EZ Loader Trailer, Suzuki motors, Norcold fridge, Lewmar Windlass, Wallas etc. but no manual on the boat itself. Maybe things have changed since then, but I am not certain that the factory has an actual specific owners manual for each C-Dory boat that they build even today. Maybe I will be proven wrong on this?
 
Although along the way, C Dory has "assembled" manuals for some of the boats, some of the years. Typically the boats do not have one. Almost all parts are off the shelf, so you look up that particular pump, motor etc.

Is there a specific issue or question you have--ask it on C Brats and you will get a good response.
