Google drive doesn't auto-majik-ly allow folks to view your pics...

To the best of my knowledge, it does not. You should be able to tell by pinging the deck area.

Re: Santa Came Early

And now we have a good clue as to why the "Cape Dory Powerboats" discussion was added two years ago... :D :D :D
Has this change been in the works for sometime?

About all you do is make a document and then use something like "Snipping Tool" to make
images of each page. Also remember that only 3 images can be loaded to a single post.

FYI: You can actually update the subject title of your original post and add "SOLD" so one doesn't have to click yet another link to find that out.

Re: Considering purchase - CD36 Flybridge Trawler

According to the spec in Cape Dory Info, the 36 trawler had the option for either gas or diesel engines.
That makes it difficult to tell if it was re-powered or not.

Re: Where Is The Far Reach--Part III

Enjoy! I do believe a "few" of us sail vicariously thru you!
Since I've gotten back into motorcycles, I haven't sailed much at all... :(

Re: CD 25 Shaft Length

Congrats Chris! The most important thing about outboards on a CD is the the prop, just like for an inboard engine. You need to have the proper pitch & size for your engine's HP & RPM range.

Re: Outboard for CD 25

I'm sure I have replied to a prior question re CD25 outboards also. The last CD25 I had came with a 9.9 Evinrude which I quickly got rid off... Too damn heavy and too much drag when not needed. I replaced it with "modern" (at that time) Tohatsu that performed perfectly, when it was in use....

Re: CD26 jib lead track size

While they don't show any 3/4" track blocks in their catalog, you might try asking GarhauerMarine.com if they can build such.

Re: Leaking fuel pump 1983 CD 28

Is it the lift pump or the injection pump? I just googled "volvo penta md7a fuel pump" and got lots of options for a lift pump, many under $100!
