The Cape Dory Board

The inflatable is 8 feet. The one you see is a Seaworthy. The only drawback is you have to put a cushion under the dink transom so the main sheet is clear. Otherwise it is a very secure.

The boat is in Annapolis, MD and is in excellent condition. I am moving to the "other" coast, therfore, need to sell. Contact me for an equipment list and pricing. Better yet, contact me to see the boat.

This boat has been sold!!!

Jim,

Sorry to hear about your problem. Here is the name of a certified to USCG Specs manufacturer in NJ. Atlantic Coastal Welding Inc. (1-800-434-8265). They advertise a 5 day turnaround.

Good Luck!

Ok, since all went so well, I can assume we will see Respite on the Chesapeake Fleet spring cruise. I think after all you have undertaken in these last few months you could use a little "Respite".

Yup! There will be blurb in the Masthead. However, it doesn't go into the detail of all the fun we had. Guess the ones who missed it will need to show up next year so they don't miss out!

If you have repowered your CD33 hull, I would like to know what brand/model propulsion system you used, the number of hours you have on the system, your comments about your selected system, and if you are satisfied with the result. Please send me an email, PM or post your reply if you prefer. Thanks.

Chris, You mentioned you had your fuel tank cleaned. This is what was done on a CD32 and years later, the same symptom you have occurred. The problem was a little scrap of paper toweling that was lodged in the right angle tank fitting at the top of the pick-up tube. When this tiny scrap was removed,...

I would use the largest winch that will fit. FYI, I am using Lewmar size 40 2 speed self tailing on a CD330 and find that I do need/like the second speed more often than not.

I first emptied my tank and put the fuel in a fuel can. Since I had a diesel car at the time, I filtered the fuel and put it in my car. Since I was burning auto fuel in my boat at the time I was legal. Maybe you can filter the fuel and put it back in your boat if you can't find a more convenient way...

The sink drain seacock should be closed when you leave the boat. So using this drain is not a good idea. If you have a manual bilge pump line, you can put a Y connection in this line making sure there is a loop in your electric pump line so water will not easily back up your electric bilge pump line...

I agree with Oswego John on the choice of oil. Use a good penetrating oil. Put in oil on both sides of the prop until it starts to drip. Do this as often as you can for at least a couple of days. In addition, if can do so without losing ( someone permanently borrowing your equipment) your puller, ke...

I was visiting Maine and stopped in at Robinson Marine Center. It was there that I was informed that Sparten is updating their price list. The increase is expected to between 20% to 30%! It will be published on their web site. It is scheduled to be released anytime but according to them, surely befo...

I'm not sure I follow you. The higher the reduction ratio I would think would make it easier ( a bigger mechanical advantage), therefore. more power can be transmitted. Kind of like a two speed winch! Obviously I'm incorrect, but I still don't see it.

According to the ZF manual, a ZF-10 with a ratio of 2.045 to 1 can handle 38 hp at 3000 rpm. Additionally, a ZF-10 with a ratio of 2.722 to 1 can only handle 27 hp at 3000 rpm and if the ZF-10 has a ration of 1.482 to 1 it can handle 44 hp at 3000 rpm. I would have thought that the greater the reduc...
