Hi Guys,The burn rate of 2.4 ltr/hr is putting about 12 horsepower into the water. So a 40 HP engine is a little overkill for those conditions... unless you have a wackin' big alternator.
I'm about 2 ltr/hr with an old Yanmar QM20 doing about 5.5 knots with a Kiwi-prop.
Seems like a J-prop on a smaller engine might be the ticket for a lot of us.
Cheers, Russ

A former owner repowered our 1990 C&C 37 XL (39' 6" LOA), installing a Yanmar Model: 3JH2-TBE (47 hp,. turbo) back in 2001. It turns a J Prop feathering 18 - 3 blade propellor.It does not seem at all like overkill to me. We burn about 2.4 litres an hour ( 0.7 US Gal.) at 6.5 knots under power.Ken H.On 13 August 2013 10:39, Bill Coleman <<mailto:colt...@verizon.net>colt...@verizon.net> wrote:I think he means 2800 under power, but that is not clear.My opinion, worth what it cost, that boat is grossly underpowered.

No, I have not done an engine swap but I would be real interested in the detailsof the project. Seems that getting the old engine out would be the main concern. Relocatingengine mounts should not be a problem. Of course putting the new engine in would be interesting.I am not contemplating an engine swap but I have played "what if" and thought that cutting the cockpitfloor out and lifting the engine straight up would solve engine removal issues. With the engine out you would have unrestricted access for fiberglassing, painting, soundproofing and anything else you want to do down there.Good luck, Ray Shibe Stinky Dog.
