John and Maryann Legacy III 1982 C&C 34 Noank, CT From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Kevin Driscoll Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2013 7:55 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List C&C 30 mkII New Owner My wife and I took ownership this past Saturday of a C&C 30mkII, 1989. We are super happy to have "Osprey" and believe that it is the perfect size for us here in Portlandia, Oregon. Much of our sailing is on the Columbia River and so we inevitably do much more sail handling than the average sailor. So we were looking for a boat that is big enough to be comfortable on and not so big that it increases expense and "work" when out on the water. We plan to join the fray racing around the buoys this spring. The C&C 30 mkII is that boat for us. Alas, to the point. Since I am a new owner I am interested in suggestions from the list as to maintenance, fluid changes, etc that I might perform to get off on the right track. So far I am thinking Oil Change, Transmission Oil Change, flush water tanks....? Previous owner was a very occasional user, so I am bit concerned about Diesel bugs as well. It is in very good shape, but not everything is perfect. The Volvo Ardic fires up (with quite a bit of exhaust smoke) and blows heat for about 10-15 minutes, but then seems to shut off and stay off. Additionally the Yanmar 2GM starts with the addition of some throttle, but blows dark smoke for about 10 seconds or so. Smoke goes away fairly quickly. I was told could be injectors? 2200hrs on the engine. I have been following the forum and site for a while and now that we own her, I am happy to be a part of the C&C community. Any and all advice welcome...especially from other 30mkII owners out there. Best, Kevin s/v Osprey C&C30mkII
