The Cape Dory Board

The 1GM in my CD25D starts right up but goes straight to full throttle. Fuel cut off works fine. If I open the oil fill and hold the gov level, I can control the RPM. If I have the throttle in neutral the gov level has spring that keeps the fuel injection pump pulled forward. Seems to be inside the ...

Hoping someone has the measurements for a trailer that fits a CD25D. My objective is to modify an existing trailer boat trailer to support my CD. I have a Typhoon that we did the same thing to and it worked out well but the 25 D is bigger and heavier so I will want to be careful. If anybody has some...

It sounds like you had the problem I’m having. I will try to tighten the halyard real tight and see what happens. I don’t have another headsail to put on but maybe a new genoa is in order.

I just have convince the wife food is a luxury we can do with out but a geona is essential to life.

Sea Hunt The final price was $10,000. I am not sure that was a great price but considering there are very few 25D I have seen in the area and my own eagerness I now have it. The problems I have had and things repaired so far bottom paint, new sea water thru hull and ball valve, new prop, broken lazy...

Yes that’s the boat. Needed lots of work but getting close. I am closer to 240 but everyone says going up should not be a problem. I would not have even tried to go up on the Typhoon but this is a heavier boat. Anyway for this problem there is no need. I guess I will have to think hard about getting...

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to my post. I have been working on getting my engine to run at the right rpm. No luck on that problem ether. The shrouds on the lee side go slack when i tack but that has to be normal. My Typhoon never had this problem but it had hanked on sails. I guess it c...

I have problem with the furling system on our CD25D I hope someone can help with. The jib pumps hard when the boat is in moderate to heavy winds shaking the whole boat. This cannot be good for the rigging. I tightened the forward stay under the furling system and it helped but I am not sure how much...

Thanks for the input. The boat was here for a couple of hurricanes and that’s when the bow pulpit got bent. The pad on the port side broke at the weld when we were inspecting the boat. (I am a fatso and proud of it) Thinking of cost and the fact that some one is going to make the new one instead of ...

First I want to say I have been reading some of the past messages and found this site to be full of great information. I am going on Friday to take possession of a CD 25D in Miami. The boat has problems but anything I could afford would. My question is does anybody have a source on a new bow pulpit....
