Yes, she's still for sale. I've had quite a few serious replies and the usual lookie-loos !

REMOVED FROM SALE. I solved my financial crunch another way, and am thrilled to not have to sell this glorious boat. This boat is also listed on ebay. The ebay ad is more likely to be updated with new photos, so please go there for latest information My phone number is xxx=xxx=xxxx. Just give me a c...

Thanks for those tips, Sharkbait. It was indeed pretty scary having my hand over the air intakes. I was foolish enough to try it, but smart enough to know to use the flat of my hand and not my fingers. But even so...... I like the gasoline on a rag idea.... And the hair drier one, too. I don't know ...

So here's the latest on my engine woes. Speaking with Trucker Diesel Dude today, he suggested that I look at the smoke, if any, when cranking the engine. For those of you that don't know – no smoke means no fuel is getting into the diesel cylinders. White smoke with a touch of gray indicates fuel is...

...I do know that the injectors do not create the fuel pressure in the system but merely atomize it while injecting it into the cylinders. You have a lift pump to deliver fuel to the injector pump which then pressurizes it and sends it to the injectors. I downloaded the workshop manual today, and y...

Actually, I didn't use ANY fogging oil, and that might have caused the problem. I certainly will next time I winterize. One advantage of being a boat hauler is that I've developed a network of mechanically inclined friends that know about diesel engines. One in particular is great because he doesn't...

Can't go wrong at that price. Jump on it!

Let know how much you're being quoted to use a lift. I'm a boat transporter (and Cape Dory owner) with a hydraulic trailer, and I might be interested in loading the boat onto my trailer and letting you work on her while loaded. Obviously, this would work best financially if I happen to be passing th...

I fired up the Volvo MD2B diesel engine in my 1975 Cape Dory 28 today. It hadn't been started since around the same time last summer. And the engine started after an appropriate amount of cranking – around 30 seconds. The throttle was set to about halfway. As expected, she chugged to life, so I open...

Wow - there's a whole post dedicated to my journey. It seems that Respite is quite famous, and deservedly so. So here's my version of events.... Sad to say, the engine got a lot of work, but it did it's job admirably. Never missed a beat in 30+ hours of turning. After leaving Mitchell and Susan at 9...

.... I have a beauty. Thank you, Mitchell, for all your assistance. I'm looking forward to the sail north just as soon as schedule and winds permit. There won't be any major changes made to her this season, with the exception of adding electronics. And I am indeed a bit of a traditionalist at heart,...

I've selected a surveyor, and will be happy to respond to any private messages about his work after he has completed his survey. As the owner of a business that is sometimes the subject of public flaming on yelp and google reviews, I prefer not to post public reviews of people who are trying to run ...

I'm looking for someone to survey a CD approximately mid-way between Annapolis MD and Norfolk VA

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Malcolm

I'm shopping for a larger boat and would appreciate any feedback from those of you who have seen the CD33, CD330 or CD36's from Maine to the Carolinas. I'm planning two road trips - one north from New York City and one south - within the next couple of weeks to check out boats. Which ones are winner...
