I sent a cheque that paid for the files plus an additional amount to cover shipping (as I live 2000 km away from South Shore Yachts). Once the cheque cleared he shipped them in one quite heavy file box, via FedEx. Ken H. On Wed, 6 Mar 2019 at 17:16, Richard Bush via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.

Mine doesn't start turning once it is feathered but it is quite difficult to get it out of reverse once it is shifted there with the engine off, so we leave it in reverse. With the prop feathered there is no turning force so no damage is reasonably possible. Ken H. On Wed, 6 Mar 2019 at 17:00, B

I have always found in most boat that just putting it in reverse (engine off, of course) will lock the shaft enough for the prop to feather, and then put in neutral. I don’t think they go back to rotating after feathering. Bill Coleman C&C 39 Erie, PA From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun

Hi Richard, I didn't ask but they may have some more files if they found the ones they sold me. My guess is they are stored somewhere where it is inconvenient to go looking through them, to find just one, so they don't bother, but that is just a guess. I assume as I was willing to take a bunch at

Actually, for our Yanmar 3JH2E, the mfr specifically states it should be left in forward, while other transmissions should be put in reverse.  I am unaware of any mfr that specifies leaving it in neutral.Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Original message From: Mare

Maybe this is a reason why Hurth says that you should not leave it in reverse (or in forward). The transmission should be always in neutral. There was even a bulletin saying that if you leave it in reverse, the warranty would be voided. Of course, none of our boats have any warranty (:-) Marek

Ken, that is a great find: a couple of years ago I was told that Southshore had destroyed all of the build files; did you get a sense that they may still have files other than the 37/40s you bought? Richard s/v Bushmark4: 1985 C&C 37 CB: Ohio River, MIle 596: Richard N. Bush 2950 Breckenridg

We also put our boat in reverse to stop the prop spinning while sailing. It is a feathering prop but it doesn't always feather and stop unless we do put it in reverse. This is usually some time after we shut the engine down and then notice a slight vibration from the spinning prop. It is then ver

Fred, I replaced the throttle and shift cables on my C&C 44 in 2016 after the shift cable broke. The Edson information I received with the boat suggested that I needed a 64 series (5/16" ends) gear shift cable and a 33 series throttle cable.(10-32 ends). I couldn't get Teleflex 64 series stuff so

Southshore still had some of the files last year, probably buried in deep storage somewhere. I asked him to dig out all he could find for the C&C 37/40 series and he found quite a few (almost 40 of them) and sold them to me. For anyone who has a 37/40 (or a 40' from 1993 to 1995) and is intereste

Might as well change the throttle cable too.not a hard task, but, as long as you have to dissemble the binnacle...These may be original cables...I did it on my LF38.  The cables ran up thru the ss binnacle supports.  Good luck!Spencer Johnson '84 LF38 "Alegria" #165Racine, WI / Mount Prospec

Just looked and the build file is for Hull #70 not #71.  It was delivered to Associated Yachts in Essex, Connecticut for a Dr. Pepkowitz in July 1971.  Order date was April 1971. Neil Schiller 1983 C&C 35-3, #028, "Grace" Crosswinds Marine, Whitehall, Michigan WLYC On 3/6/2019 8:58 AM, schille

Speaking of build files, if anyone knows who has C&C 35-1 Hull number 71, I have the build file for it.  I tried to get the build file for our Redwing 35 (Hull #7) way back when and was sent hull #71 instead.  If anyone wants it, let me know. I wish the build files were still available from So

Hi Fred, This is a weird co-incidence... I recently melted mine by accident against the exhaust pipe on my espar furnace. Melted the cable housing fusing it to the cable and making it pretty much useless. Please let me know where you source the new cable from and I'll order one too! For length, it
