The Cape Dory Board

Thank you Matt and Tom for your updates. I have been out of town and am just now back.

I pulled my service and parts manual for my M25 (at least the copy the PO gave me) and I can not find any chart that speaks to the fuel consumption rates at different RPMs.

If someone has this chart for the Univ. M25 -- and can make a copy of same--- please contact me.

Thanks PC

Wow, parts manual... who would have thought?

Thanks Tom!

I have a Racor 500 as my Primary filter. How small of a filter element can I get away with (or should)? Example, "Will a 5 micron just starve the engine or be fine for fuel flow but gunk-up (technical term :-) ) up to quickly?" There are several threads about multi-configurations of filter...

Where can I find fuel flow rates for my Universal M25 engine (at different RPMs)? I want to create a range / fuel usage chart.


Thank you,

PC

I suspected I had a clogged filter and have since replaced both my secondary and primary filters. I have some shakedown time on Friday, will see just how things run.

Thanks, PC

A few weeks ago my engine would not start. To fix this, I had to bleed some air out (using the bleed screw in the Crescent fuel fitting) on my Univ. M25. This was a real surprize, since I have not any any issues with an "air visitor", in over a years worth of weekends. I would be intereste...

Sure, its clear there needs to be some "discussion" and "decision" around an open or closed area (fine.) Maybe an item for the CDSOA Board to discuss? A good question is raised, just how many folks are, "registered"? Can our Web-managers help answer that? In the mean ti...

I would like to float an idea to the CDSOA Board? How about creating a members only (meaning you must be a registered CDSOA member), discussion group for the sole topic of scheduling, announcing, and even planning CD-Events (like cruises). Why not the events page? I like the "events", page...

Chuck,

Good point about the noise... BTW, just where on your 30 did you install the unit? What did you have to give up?

Thanks, P

I would like to hear from owners who have AC units that are more than two years old. I general, I would be interested in the pros and cons about your specific brand. There are several choices out there: Mermaid, Cabin Mate, Cool Mate, etc, I am looking to get some sense of how your brand unit held u...

At the request of the host, Greta and Hans van Meeteren, I am posting the information for the August Carolina's CDSOA Feet Trip . Please let them know if you will be attending.

I choose the Garmin GPSMap 276c. I added blue charts chip and have liked what I got. The format is large enough to see, but not so large as to become a major focus at the helm. It also does road routing, as its designed to be used in Automotive or Marine mode. Shop around on the net, I found unit fo...

You can pull the clock off the mounting, then I see no reason why you can't spray away. The other option might be to pull the brass pins and spray (or not) the "Knott". Enjoy.
