I loved this boat for 11 years, but I'm ready to upgrade to somet...

Jib halyard

The jib halyard in my CDI roller furler is toast. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to replace without unstepping the mast? Solstice is already on the mooring. Also, what length line should I get for a CD25? All replies appreciated. :D

Tohatsu outboard maintenance

So...anyone with a CD25 has probably run into this...Spent the better part of today trying to clean outsalt/ gunk/ sea life that has accumulated around the water intake & the outlet. Engine sits in the well all season because it's too much of a pain in the butt to take it out each time. So here'...

Re: CD25 Outboard Update

As a fellow CD25 owner, I know what you're talking about. I bought a brand new Tohatsu 6 4 stroke Sail Pro 25" with an oversized prop last year & I couldn't be happier. 1600 bucks but worth every penny. The built in altinator kept my battery topped off all summer! I got a lot out of her las...

Re: CD 25 Newbie

Congrats! As a fellow CD 25 owner, I am confident you will get much enjoyment out of her. She's a great ol' gal that's easy to maintain and even easier to sail single handedly. I can't tell you how many compliments I've gotten wherever I go. As far as dumb questions go, there is no such thing. The p...

Loose tiller

So I need to replace the key that keeps the tiller aligned with the rudder. The ultimate question is can I do this project while the boat is in the water? I'm fearing that the rudder post will pop off once the housing is removed. Also, does anyone know the size of the key itself on a cd25? Any respo...

Re: Tohatsu...

Last week I pulled the trigger and got the 25"shaft...I really wanted the sail prop. Now the next question...I can get ethanol free gas but is the high octane an issue?

Also, what about a water separator...overkill?

All replies appreciated.
