Dennis,
Easy is a relative term. There don't appear to be any "off the shelf"
removable sprits, particularly for old boats. So I imagine it would be
custom fabrication.
A friend of mine races on a Kerr 50 last summer and they has such an
arrangement, complete with multiple sprits for different ra
I replaced my original Yanmar mounts a couple years ago (probably four or
five). I also use the Drive Saver from PYI. Self-aligned and no issues to
date.

When I changed Calypso's engine mounts I used a scissor jack (<$30 from auto
parts store). I replaced one mount at a time to keep the change in alignment
as small as possible.
The new alignment was straight forward with the proper sized wrenches and
hammers. The process Rich listed below is s
Perhaps it is a function of how flexible is flexible. If both are relatively
solid i could see it working. In my case both were quite flexible (Volvo
engine and chain coupler) the two started whipsawing against one another. The
solid coupling I replaced it with was still trouble free 35 years l
Don't forget to add for the windvane and antenna, plus safety margin.
You,re safe to go under any bridge with 45 clearance. Add another safety margin
for high tension electric wires (beware of lightning arc between the wire and
your boat.

Hmmm. Interesting but I have to tell you I have had regular flexible mounts and
a Drive Saver flexible coupling on my boat for 15 years with no problems.
Others may wish to comment.

Good post Rick, but one quibble.
If an engine has flexible mounts then it must have a solid not flexible
coupling and vice versa.
I made that mistake when I repose red my last boat and the coupling destroyed
itself with extreme prejudice in a couple of hours of running. Everything was
aligned
2 points!

I recall some inventive lister using a basketball as a jack under the
engine, apparently it works really well, especially when you have limited
clearance to fit a regular jack.

I am sure I measured mine and it's marked at 42' 6" above the deck. You have

I don't think I have specs, but Alera came with a bunch of the
original paperwork. I give it a look. Also, since she had under 500
hrs on the engine when we got her I'm sure that the mounts are
original. So, let me know if you'd like me to get you some pictures

I just had a look at mounts on the PYI site:

Their widget allows you to insert the dimensions of your existing mounts so you
can receive new mounts that should simply replace the existing units with no
drilling
Josh,
As one of the few C&C37+ owners on the list, I wish I had some
experience to share. The mounts on the Enterprise are original and I’ve not had
any need or desire to make any changes — yet.
All the best,

Mine also had that gaggy old Angle Iron, when I replaced the Tranny 12 years
ago I also replaced those angles with nice clean3/8" Aluminum Angle. When
the Nanni went in, the mounts were 2" narrower, so I welded some 3/8"
Aluminum bar on top of the angle to narrow it up, everything is hunky-dory.
I jacked mine up using a normal automotive jack with some wooden planks in
between for protection.

I have the steel L angle bar between the mounts and the glass as well. The
steel bar is through bolted to my glass engine beds. I changed engine mounts

Will you be removing your engine in order to replace the mounts?
I have the same project ahead of me this winter.

I was amazed at how well my spinnaker was doing with the wind forward of the
beam. I was flying it in asym mode, but it was cut as a symmetrical. I was
racing a C&C 40 up the winding twisting Chester and from a broad reach to a
close reach they could not pass us with a full main and #1 genoa. On
Hey Folks,
I'm in the process of replacing my engine mounts on Sea Hawk, equipped with
the original Yanmar 3HM35F. I purchased mounts from PYI. They look to be
quite high quality mounts and appear to be made of SS. Unlike OEMs, they
are positively captured so your engine won't go flying lose i
