Bruce, Have owned my 36 for five years. Love it. Yes, the engine is mounted at slight angle. As earlier respnse said, allows removal of shaft without dropping rudder. Once you get used to it, it is a great advantage docking, as you can pull/push the stern a little with short bursts of power. Not a problem. When motoring, does require a slight port steer to keep going striaght, maybe an inch or two off dead center. I love my boat. Bill Walker 1981 CnC 36 Evening Star Pentwater, Mi.

I looked at a C&C-36 yesterday, the first 36 I've inspected. Was surprised to note that, both from the companionway access and the lazarette access, it looked like the engine was mounted offset - it appeared to be angled maybe 3-4 degrees off centerline - the forward end on centerline, the aft end of it offset to port. I wasn't smart enough to look at the shaft (I only had a half hour on the boat, broker had another appoinment), but it got me to wondering - is the shaft offset on the 36 (to counteract prop-walking or something)? Or does this boat have a major problem?
