The Cape Dory Board

Plug away! You're in the right forum.

I bought my first Cape Dory from a friend in the Coast Guard. It was a Typhoon Weekender and I still wish I'd never sold that her.

Wonderful little boat for a day in the harbor.

I've been in the mountains and out of cell/'net coverage. Now that I'm back I wanted to thank everyone again for the information and advice. I'm headed back down to the boat this week to continue to document her with photographs and do some maintenance. The reasons we've decided to sell are carefull...

Robert, Thank you for all your help. My preference is to sell direct and you've reinforced that bias with your post. While I've been a poor participant in the online community, I do love the instant bond two Cape Dory owners share when they meet. My reason for selling is exactly that love of the boa...

I am actively looking for a 33. When you get organized, send me your listing and photos. I live in Baltimore. Thanks. I will absolutely start passing along information as I get myself sorted out. Feel free to ask any questions or for any additional pictures as I start putting together her specs and...

Thank you, wizard.

Good advice, some I've started and others you've added to my to-do list.

Sadly, Sheila & I have decided to sell our '33, "Audacity," located in Charleston, SC. We've had her a long time now and our last broker is long gone. I could use any advice anyone might give on good brokers for our boats in the area, if online sale-by-owner services are worth trying, ...

Cathy, you are amazing.

Thanks again.

The transmission shift cable on my CD33 has started getting very hard to move. I need to replace it before I go out again. Does anyone have the specs and/or a source for a replacement cable? I may be slow to respond after tonight. I'm headed down to Charleston to tie out Audacity before Hanna gets h...

Sorry to take so long to wrap this up but my laptop died while I was on the boat installing my new water heater. Various warranty issues delayed the fix. Now it's all shiny-new again. I installed an IsoTemp and I've very happy with it. As expected, the worst part of the job was getting the old heate...

Thank you, Cathy.

Clearly, the master of search that I am not.

Thank you, Michael. Another alternative I'll check.

This might help: Atlantic Marine Products is located in Richmond, VA. Their water heaters are sold through Ocean Link which is located in Portsmouth, RI. They can also be ordered, I believe on-line at Ocean Link's web site. ... [deletia]

Thanks!

Ron, I replaced the Raritan in my CD36 with an Atlantic model 6E. Both electic and heat exchanger off the engine. I really like this unt and have had no problems in over 5 years. It's square and sits nicely on the shelf in the port locker. I purchased it from Defender, I believe. Shouldn't be too d...

Thanks, Russell. I like the comparison to a geometry puzzle. Spot on.

That's one of the ones I'm looking at but it still looks like a problematic fit if I try to put it in the same location as the old heater.

Any CD33 owners that have solved this puzzle?

I've searched for threads on the subject but found nothing newer than 2002. In that thread an isotemp was recommended but the measurements of the unit described in the thread do not agree with anything currently in the Defender catalog. An Atlantic was said to fit but I'm having trouble finding info...
