The Cape Dory Board

Steve,
I believe the boom is a spartan cd2 profile and your right , if someone on a 36 was removing theirs , it is probably the same profile and would just need to shortened.

Russell, It came from factory as 330 cutter. The previous owner removed boom,pedestal and chainplate and apparently discarded them. Everything else is in place and rigged for a cutter., so it is just a matter of finding the parts for boom and pedestal. . John Lowe from Biddeford Pool Maine called me...

Rich, Idid contact dwyer, but they would need the measurements and profile as well. I agree they would be better to deal with than rig rite. I know rig rite has the parts, but it is impossible to speak with a tech to nail it down. Hopefully someone with a 330 can send me those specs and maybe a pict...

If any of you 330 owners are out there, I need to get some measurements of the staysail boom on your cd330. I need the length of the boom and also the the height and width of a cross section on the end.....it will probably be oval so the widest length and the tallest looking at the boom from the end...

Russell, If you are single handed are you handling two sets of sheets for staysail and yankee when tackin g? Would you now need another pair of winches to handle the staysail sheet? The boat was originally a cutter rig and the hardware was removed. If a hoyt system was installed I would assume it wo...

I am looking for a staysail boom, boom pedestal mount and chainplate for a 1988 Cape Dory 330. I am considering purchasing this boat, but the current owner purchased the boat sloop rigged with those parts missing. I would like to be able to get the original parts and return the boat to its cutter ri...

A starter relay will probably do the job. Had the same problem on a CD27 and spoke with a tech from Mack Boring who was based in Chicago. He was their marine diesel guru and suggested the relay and even sent me a spec sheeet on the relay available from yanmar and did a follow up phone call back to m...

That is the drain valve and if you open it and nothing drains out, it is probably clogged. Mine had a twist knob rather than a toggle, so I would remove twist knob and just poke a thin screwdriver up into the valve to breakup any sediment and the water would flow out along with particles that were b...

The first picture the wires are for a tach, which this engine does not typically have hooked up. The second is the temp sending unit

On a cd27 with single cylinder yanmar, lay a small seat cushion over the fiberglass lip at opening of engine compartment at the bottom. This allows you to rest your knees and then slide your upper body over the top of the engine, with some sort of cushioning between your chest and the engine. I alwa...

I took my tank (from a cape dory 27) to a automobile radiator shop and had it boiled out. Came out spotless and used a diesel additive ,biobor for algae for all fill ups and have had no problems for 10 years. Tank was very dirty when I originally pulled it out of the boat. While reinstalling tank , ...

Does the cd26 have the ysm8 yanmar?I just sold my cd27 which had that engine, and the best way is to get some kind of cushioning to lay on top of the engine. Put a cushion at the bottom of the engine compartment on the bottom lip that the engine cover slides over, to support your knees. Then put you...

I dont have the model number , but it was a Krakor tank. I talked with Krakor and apparently they no longer have the mold for that tank. I replaced mine 8 years ago. Not much help.

I replaced the holding tank on my 27 which was located under the port setee. I have the original manufacturer and I believe the model number. The tank sent to me was an exact duplicate of the original. Again, this is the holding tank for the head,not the water tank. I just came across the old paperw...
