CD 25D Manual

Post by n5ama »

Hi Cape Dory experts,

After a relatively long search I have located a 25D and I’m in the process this week to move it from Lk Superior to Galveston, TX.
I’ve downloaded the manual from the CD.com site for Cape Dory boats that include the 25D. It’s been a great help and I’m delighted to have that asset as I move forward with my ownership of this fine boat.

My boat is from the last year of production (1985) and my question, is there a manual for the 25D from that year with any changes that wasn’t in the 1982 manual. If so, is there a source for a copy of a 1985 manual?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Congratulations on becoming the owner of Carl Alberg's biggest small boat or his smallest big boat--depending on how you look at it.
As far as I can tell, there is only one manual that covers the 25D--and you appear to have it.

There are a number of us 25D owners here on the bulletin board, so don't hesitate to ask.

Best and fair winds!

Hi Joe,
Thanks for the reply! I've got the manual downloaded and I'm reading it now cover to cover. I also downloaded the Yanmar manuals and hopefully won't need the service or shop manuals. I'll print the owners manual for reference.

I really appreciate your help.
Tom
