Hi Dan. I am the owner of a C&C 38. I had overheating issues and it was just a
pluggeg heat exchanger. The Yanmar is a pretty bulit proof engine. I live
aboard in Shilshole. I will be in Brownsville next weekend if you would like to
bs over a beer. Doug

I’m relatively new to sailing boats though I
have been to a school using 14’ Holders, then 21’ day sailors, wind surfing
(lake boards) and 30+ years of hang gliding. I currently own 2 sailboats, a
1976 23’ Ericson and a 1977 26’ C&C (my favorite). I’ve owned the Ericson
about a year and the C&C 4 months. The C&C is in excellent shape, has all the
goodies and more sails than I know what to do with right now. The Yanmar will
come out this winter (working on how to remove) so I can overhaul; it was
overheating when I bought the vessel, got a very good deal on the boat. I
toyed with the idea of hanging a 15HP Yamaha on the stern but would rather not
drill holes in her plus I have all the maintenance manuals for the Yanmar and
I’m a mechanic. Sorry babbling.
Sailing the C&C @ 30 miles from her old mooring to new digs was a blast, she
sails easily and I can’t wait to get her out this coming spring. I’ll sail the
Ericson over the winter here (Pacific Northwest) while I work on the Yanmar.
I do have a couple questions if I may:
I have a small water leak on both the port and starboard sides aft are of the
cabin, suspect coming from the rails that run the length of the boat - I know
there is a name for them but it escapes me. I’m wondering if I can just
re-seal the length of the rails until spring, removing them at this point and
replacing the seals isn’t an option at this point. What sealant would work
best?Can I use the boom (protected of course) to winch the engine - weight
under 200 lbs during the removal? I can’t imagine trying to lift it out using
just manpower - is there a “standard” for removing engines? My idea is to use
the boom protected of course and maybe set it up so the load is distributed
over a wide area and a winch. I don’t want to damage the boom but don’t know
any other way of getting the engine out. Thanks for reading my dribble..
looking forward to learning all about sailing the C&C and eventually moving up
to a 30+ foot boat, buy that is way down the road.
