Thank you. That was the correct size.

One of the previous owners removed the original oven and replaced it with an Origo 2 burner. While I am a big fan of the Origo stove, I'm also a big fan of baking bread and making pizza. So, I'm looking for an oven to put back in her. I'm also looking for cheap. Alcohol, propane, kerosene, diesel. I...

Congratulations from a fellow CD30c new owner. I just got mine about a month ago.

Anyone know how to change the bulb, or access the bulb, on a Aquameter Galaxy compass? Mine no longer lights up. I don't want to accidentally unscrew any compensating rods.

Welcome aboard from Niceville, Florida. She looks fantastic.

Anyone know the part number for the Volvo MD7A Heat Exchanger Zinc Anode? I want to change mine. Is this it? https://www.boatzincs.com/3858995.html
I looked in the manuals and couldn't find a reference to it, but I know it has one. I was trying to order it before pulling the old one.

Hi Dean. I maintain the registry that is the Google spreadsheet. If you'll post the year and or hull # for Loda May and any other particulars you'd like included, I'll add her to the registry for you. Hi Dino, Since I don't see my " KAYLA " in the registry, here are the details. She's an ...

My first two jobs on my new to me CD30 is to make sure the engine is running well and to get the stink out of the boat. I'm going to tackle the stink first so we can at least camp overnight on the boat while it's in the wet slip. For the stink, I'm thinking it's the head/holding tank/plumbing system...

Thanks,

The rubrails on my CD30 are broken and will need to be replaced as well. I'm interested in following your progress. Please post lots of pictures.

Anyone planning on making the May 16-20 Cruise Weekend -- Perdido Bay, AL to/from Pensacola Beach, FL? I just sent off my registration to CDSOA and joined the Central Gulf Fleet. I don't think we, or the boat, will be ready to cruise in May, but maybe we'll drive out there and meet up with some loca...

Thank you!

Okay, I'm confused. I just bought a Cape Dory 30C and looking at the Coast Guard documentation, the depth is marked as 6.8 but the draft shows 4.2 on the manual. I haven't dived on the boat to measure it. So, what is the distance from the waterline to the bottom of the keel? Might be nice to know be...

What have I done!!!!!!
