The Cape Dory Board

Hi guys, I'm selling my boat. Unfortunately, I never have time to use her. She can definitely use a little work, but I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I had the all of the gaskets changed as well as a new water pump in the md2b. It runs like a champ. It does have surface blisters on the bott...

try a wet vac. Drill a hole in the keel?!

Did anyone see the DIY mag this month? There was an interesting AC installation article. They mounted a home window unit into the anchor locker of a Morgan 33. I'm not quite sure what to make of it. It does, however, sound like a cheap alternative to a carry-on. I like the idea of saving $800 and no...

I had the same problem and found that the Jabsco pump/faucet combo was actually cheaper. I now have water at the press of a button and saved $40.

Steve,

It was the water pump, a $50 dollar fix.

Thanks a bunch!

Since I changed the oil again and closed the seacock, no water has entered the engine. Started up like a champ. This is good! Haven't had time to rebuild the water pump yet, but plan to this week.

SeaHunt, that is a great idea. I always leave it open, will put the key on the seacock tomorrow. The seacocks for my cockpit drains are frozen in the open position :( Ron, I suppose it is a cannister type. It is grey and somewhat rectangular with the inlet on the bottom of one side and the outlet on...

When I bought the boat early this year, it overheated to the point of blowing the head gaskets on the way to my marina. The temp gauge didn't work. We replaced the head gaskets, exhaust manifold gasket etc. The cylinders looked ok. I haven't had any problems until now. Unfortunately, I'm 20 miles fr...

Thanks Ben, that is what I was looking for. I just hope that backflow is/was the problem...

No, I do not have a vented loop. I should add one?

Yesterday, I checked my dip stick and found that the oil was white. I ran the engine a few days earlier with no problems. Before I ran the engine last time, I tightened up all of my hose clamps and believe that I may have left my Vetus muffler in too high of a position. Would this cause backflow int...

Plan on a couple of days in good old St. Augustine. Plenty of deep water to anchor right down town.

I found out that there is not one...strange.

Sorry guys, that was an obscure question.

Hi all, new to the board as well as a first time Cape Dory owner. Does anyone know if the MD2B has a zinc anode and if so, where it is located?

Thanks in advance!
