In which case - don't stress about disconnecting the forestay. Absolutely use a halyard in place of it, with lots of tension, but it will stay up. I swapped out my forestay and furler with the mast up, no problems.

Well, it seems I can get the drum disconnected and raised up the forestay without disconnecting the forestay but if I want to remove it for a clean I will have to disconnect and use a halyard for backup. I've done this with the shrouds but there are two of those!

If your wire is smaller than the diameter for which the existing bearing strips are intended, you should buy new bearing strips. The furler may be a little heavier duty that what Harken currently recommends for a 30 ft boat, but it should work fine. You would obviously not need to use all 50+ ft of the available luff extrusions. Rick From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Ronald B.

The steering of Incognito has developed a major sqeak when turning the wheel and it is stiff to turn. This Problem was first noticed when the wheel seemed stiffer than usual after launch. Then it seemed to be intermittent but today with heat is very stiff and loud.. First I thought it may be clutch on Raymarine wheel pilot but now I believe that I have narrowed it to either in the D 25 edson drive wheel or where the rudder post shaft enters the emergency tiller collar. I thought about taking the screws holding the outer collar of the emergency tille on the floor of the cockpit before the walk through transor to see if I could lubricate but chickened out as I really do not know what taking those screws out would lead to in the water. I have oiled the wire cable coming from base of pedestal to sheaves and then aft to drive wheel and the wheel runs quiter but the squeak is still severe. Please can someoen give me direction as to what to lubricate and how and whether this can be all done safely in the water.

Below is the old engine, a 1979 built Yanmar 2GM-13 3400 RPM engine with no telling how many hours as there is no hour meter. I have installed one now. I have purchased a mid to late 1980?s 2gm20F 16 Hp at 3400 RPMs. Step one will be to check the new ?to me? engine from e-Bay over real good to fix or repair anything it may need to be useable, mounts, hoses, harness, senders stuff like this. Then I will pull the wiring harness and old Yanmar gauge / start panel. Next the water lines and thru-hulls taken off and blocked off. I will then begin the process of pulling the engine. I have the idea that I can use the main halyard to pull it out. I will temporality mount a sheave on the boom to help hold the halyard in place. I disconnect the shaft coupling and the motor mounts wha-la. Ease it out and swing the boom over to the dock and lower it on a cart. Then I will do as Mark suggested and clean the whole compartment and install all new thru hoses all new water lines. I will then install LED?s and clean and paint with new white paint. I will keep you posted on the progress. I should have the engine by the weekend. If there is any advice you think I could use please feel free.

My reservation is your estimate on this project... you should be able to snag an engine like that on eBay for $1500 tops!... with a pedigree. With a bit more careful procurement of exhaust hose, valves, fuel hose, traps and such for another boat token or so, cut your project estimate in half. Whatta ya think? BTW. That block pitting on your Yanmar is nothing. If it's a running take-out in that shape then that's a $1000 engine where I live. Does it smoke black under load? Hard to start? Can't make hull speed? Overheat? Have you considered an acid treat and new anodes?

Can you describe where the fitting is? I did not see it on my initial inspection.

After much advice I went back for further inspection and found a grease nipple on the through hull bearing joint. I have ordered marine grease and will complete job Thursday. In the cooler weather today and the other lubrication perfromed there was a markable difference noted but the greasing of that part should be an annual ritual as noted by another C&C Mark II owner. Now that I know it exists I will make it so :) Thanks again.

The steering of Incognito has developed a major sqeak when turning the wheel and it is stiff to turn. This Problem was first noticed when the wheel seemed stiffer than usual after launch. Then it seemed to be intermittent but today with heat is very stiff and loud.. First I thought it may be clutch on Raymarine wheel pilot but now I believe that I have narrowed it to either in the D 25 edson drive wheel or where the rudder post shaft enters the emergency tiller collar. I thought about taking the screws holding the outer collar of the emergency tille on the floor of the cockpit before the walk through transor to see if I could lubricate but chickened out as I really do not know what taking those screws out would lead to in the water. I have oiled the wire cable coming from base of pedestal to sheaves and then aft to drive wheel and the wheel runs quiter but the squeak is still severe. Please can someoen give me direction as to what to lubricate and how and whether this can be all done safely in the water.

The top of the tube has a plastic washer sitting on it with a stainless steel collar locked to the shaft just above it to keep the rudder from dropping out of the boat. Just above that is the steering quadrant. In this photo the quadrant has been removed: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-smBuFS_gdZ0/UeZwhWjmAcI/AAAAAAAAM3E/e1coG 51iNLI/w1364-h1023-no/C%2526C35Mk1+Bolts.jpg We never did find out what the bolts in the photo were for. The 35-2 is the same hull with some modifications but sits a couple of inches lower in the water so perhaps may have a stuffing box? Ken H.

If that's the case, it's a poor solution to the problem. A better solution would be to inject the West System kit to rebuild the rudder tube. I did it about 12 years ago and it's holding up well.
