The Cape Dory Board

Not a lot of information to go on but I'd check battery, starter and ground connections. Clean them up and ensure that they are tight.

For what it's worth mine was directly coupled I.E. no drive shaft saver or anything like that.

I had a similar problem with my Johnson head. It was the flapper valve that was the issue. When I actuated the lever to the pump out position it didn't seem to actuate the same as it had before. I disassembled it and found the the flapper valve was jamed up with some kind of corrosion. After cleanin...

Keith, The article is about a third of the way down the recent posts list, titled CDSOA Job Descriptions. Thanks, Steve Thanks Steve, I found the job description. It's alway funny how you can look at something several time and not see what you are looking for when it is right in front of you. It is...

Mine was 38" when used with the MD7A and Walter V-Drive. Then I cut it back to 32 for the Electric Yacht motor.

Thanks for the heads up Dee. I'll keep a watch on mine. So far it has been running great.

HI,

I read the article but could not find the job descriptions. I clicked on everything that I found in Masthead but couldn't find them. I also tried the search function but it said "no job descriptions found".

Please let me know where they can be found.

Keith

Mine is:

Luff 27' 9"
Leach 23' 9"
Foot 9'2"
LP 7'9"

Keith PS John my...

I finally got a relatively calm day the other day to do some Speed vs Amp trials. I went cross current N to S then back S to N and averaged the speed readings for each amperage. The result turned out better then Electric Yachts estimates which give me more range then anticipated. Speed vs Amps.png W...

Next the cells were moved and everything was ferried out to MOONDANCE for final assembly and sea trials. In the first pic the battery is installed and the Battery Management System (BMS) is wired. There is one ground wire on the 16th cells negative terminal and a positive wire on each of the 16 cell...

Here's the battery box epoxied, screwed and edges glassed. Box epoxied and screwed together.JPG box edges glassed.JPG All surfaces of the wood were epoxied and the pusher plates and cells installed for a final test fit. The cells were then connected in series. cells in box and connected in series.JPG

Here's a repost of the posts that were lost the other day during site maintenance. The cells arrived mid May in excellent condition no damage at all. They are 3.2 V cells and all were at 3.32-3.33 V but with the flat State of Charge (SOC) curve of LiFePo4 batteries they could be anywhere between 20%...
