Pull the engine, seal the shaft hole and mount a good outboard on the transom. 
Friend getting many more mile out of a Cal 25 that way.

Hi all,


A friend of mine just discovered why her C&C 29 MkII was leaking.  Water was 
coming in near the hose that supports the Prop shaft packing gland.  She hired 
a mechanic to pull the shaft and replace the hose which everyone thought was 
split.  Once the shaft was removed, the hose was found to be OK but the 
fiberglass tube, the shaft log, has a crack.  (I have not seen it)


The boatyard estimated $10K to replace the fiberglass tube which is more than 
the boat is worth, and it's a really nice boat and she wants to sail it, not 
sell it or donate it.


I have some ideas about fixing the problem but thought I'd ask the consortium 
for advice.  Anybody ever tackle a cracked shaft log?  I'm also looking for a 
way to test the repair for leakage before launching.


I thank you in advance,

Chuck S
