I have the M4-30 in my 35 MKII. Smooth running and quiet little 4 cylinder diesel.lots of power for my boat which is over 12000 displacement and driven by an H5 Autoprop. Keep a spare belt on board and make sure the belt on the engine is tensioned, change oil and filter.keep the fuel clean, change the fuel filter regularly.I haven't had to do anything else in the 9 years that I have owned it. NAPA has the replacement parts that I needed, oil and fuel filters, belt.also winterize appropriately if you are in cold climate

My last boat had a Yanmar, so this engine is new to me. What maintenance/aging issues are there to worry about or have replacements for? There seems to be no way to tell engine hours so I don't know anything except that it is from 1990 and according to survey it runs fine.

If your mast stays in all the time a dab of silicone on the sail trach where the boot or tape will be is also needed. The 30 is stiff and the rigging is real strong. I would not worry about that. If you have an atomic 4 I would replace the plugs cap and rotor. Have a spare coil and replace the impellor. I have also had issues with my Oil pressure switch failing. I would replace that for piece of mind. I love my 30 and I know that you will love it too. I had a red C&C 24 before also. Mine was a 1977 era boat. There is a good atomic 4 e-mail list too and don Moyer has a great site for the motor.

Seems that replacement is more of a pain and messy job than particularly difficult, plus the expense of pulling the mast. Of main concern would be that should I end up buying this one, I will have to get her back over the Strait, doing that on a new boat, with an unknown engine, unknown rigging, unknown systems and an owner who's never sailed across it before should be an interesting adventure :-) Cheers, Paul.

Being full of water is not good either , That water should drain into the bilge. The stringer below may be weak also. Have a good survey before you buy. Just lower the price for the repair.

I thought I read that C&C replaced the wood with aluminium fairly early in the production to prevent it rotting through. The mast step appears to be a woody on this one, I am guessing this looks like a rotter, or is this just a cosmetic piece? Or is the step underneath and is fine? The boat is a 1976. http://s181.beta.photobucket.com/user/Scooby-FCCUK/media/2013-03-06121 620_zp sc1ea6c83.jpg.html Any advice welcome. Cheers, Paul PS. Anyone want to buy a nice C&C24? _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com David Knecht, Ph.D. Professor and Head of Microscopy Facility Department of Molecular and Cell Biology U-3125 91 N.
