Jeeze Bob, Sorry, I didn’t mean to ruffle your feathers, I was just
relaying what this long time owner of a neighboring C&C39 said. He
didn’t have the same top end in big waves as he had before the
repower. And As David mentioned, you can get parts for Beta’s
anywhere they sell Kubota Tractors, which is everywhere in the
world.. My 37.5 HP is the same engine as my Mower, minus one
Cylinder, so I could use the same Oil, filters, injectors, etc .

I have all the power I need with my new Yanmar 3YM30AE. I’m not sure
where you are getting your information that you need more than 30 HP.
One big disadvantage of Beta is that there are not nearly as many
parts distributors—this is more important if you cruise to foreign ports.

I agree, get yourself a nice Beta 37 ½ HP diesel, and a 3 blade
flex-a – fold. I replaced a 4-108 with one of those Kubota’s, the
mounting was about 2 inches narrower, I just had to get some 3”
aluminum (or maybe 4”) angle to replace the old steel angle. You
will be amazed at how much lighter it is from the Perkins.
An old slip neighbor also had a 39, he replaced his atomic with a
30 HP Yanmar, and was disappointed with the loss in power. But
it will still get you from A to B.

*Subject:* Stus-List Re-power and prop for 1981 C&C Landfall 38
We are American expatriates who have sailed our 1981 C&C Landfall
38 to New Zealand a decade ago. It has a Perkins 4-108, which is
on its last legs. It's not particularly reliable and is having
trouble with overheating in the last few years. Also, it's very
heavy and it is way too much power anyway. We're looking to
replace it with a more reliable, modern power plant.
So we have a couple of questions:
What is the correct power? I understand most were sold with
Yanmer 30hp 3HM or 3QM diesels. We like the idea of saving a lot
of weight with a smaller engine than the Perkins, as well as ease
of access, etc. However, we'd consider a 35 or 38 also if 30
horsepower wasn't enough power.
At the same time we'll be replacing the fixed 2 blade prop with a
3 blade feathering or folding prop, so will be looking for
recommendations for that. The current prop is totally wrong. I
think it's 16x14. We never were able to get up to the proper
engine speed with the 4-108. Can you recommend something? What
have people tried?
Interested in hearing others' experiences.
