I have twice had fish get sucked up into the engine.

Trace the water flow, pull hoses, look in orifices. I had to drill out the 90* fitting between the engine and the exhaust because it was totally blocked with hard crud.

You may be able to tighten the bolts along the toe rail. It tales 2 ppeople - one inside, one out. There is butyl tape in the joint. Overheating could be a stuck impeller part or blocked exhaust elbow (common on Yanmars).

My 2QM15 had a crack between one of the valve seats and the water passage. Replacing the head was not cheap, but a lot easier than pulling and still only having to replace the head. Once the head is off you can check the cylinders and whatever else you may think may be wrong. Gary ----- Original Message ----- From: Josh Muckley via CnC-List To: C&C List ; Dennis C. Sent: Saturday, November 22, 2014 2:21 PM Subject: Re: Stus-List New Sailor Intro and Questions To add on to Dennis's comment about exploring the overheating while keeping the engine onboard. I had a mechinist who was very familiar with Yanmar tell me that there was very little reason to ever pull a Yanmar. According to him the bearings are significantly over built. So, assuming you keep up with the oil level and changes, a bottom job is probably not ever going to be needed. Barring a cracked block or blown piston the only other thing that you might need to pull the engine for is stuck rings. I've had good luck getting rings unstuck twice now without having to disassemble the engine. So have a blast working the top end as much as tou like. You'll probably also find that there are a bunch of interferences that would have made getting the engine out a very big job.

They should currently be sealed with butyl rubber. You can tighten the fasteners a bit. Have someone hold from above and tighten from below. Do NOT overtighten or you'll squeeze the butyl out. I don't worry too much about toe rail leaks but if the above procedure doesn't completely stop leakage, try multiple applications of Captain Tolleys Creeping Crack Cure. Just run beads down the inboard edge of the toe rail/deck joint. Eventually it will seal most leakage. As for the engine removal, you can use the boom but not for lifting. Use your main halyard if it's in good condition to support the weight. Rig a purchase from the boom end to the halyard to haul in/out along the boom. Tie the halyard to the boom loosely with a loop, unfasten the engine mounts from the support rail, lift engine slightly, slide it out of the compartment then lift clear and swing to pier using purchase to move it outboard. Having said that, I'd thoroughly explore the overheating issue before pulling the engine. Dennis C.

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.
