Thank's guys. I will use 45' as a rule. This helps a great deal. my next step was to climb up there with a tape measure and drop one end down. I don't want to hit the bridges. Looking around at other boats around me docks My nast seams to be taller than most boats my size? On Wed, Dec 11, 2013

Curtis, Tape a yard stick to a halyard so the end will stick up above your masthead.  Tape a measuring tape to the yard stick.  Hoist the tape until it is where you want it.  Swing the tape to the water.  You will have a 2-3 inch safety factor. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA >___

Thanks for all the thoughts and suggestions. I could have used the basketball trick and will keep that in my bag of tricks. Aside from manipulating the mounts into position (straps, jacks and lots of grunting) everything else went unremarkable. I left the aluminum rails in place but removed the

Josh, Good job on the replacements. I know it couldn’t have been easy with the access you have. I used Yanmar mounts when I replaced mine. It was very simple. I have the PYI drive saver. I had to cut the prop shaft to install it. While I did the cutting on my own, I would recommend a mac

Jake, The drive saver is just a thin (1/2") intermediate piece of plastic right? Why did you have to shorten the shaft? Nice idea using a grinder. I would have been scared out of my mind! Josh On Dec 12, 2013 7:45 PM, "Jake Brodersen" wrote: > Josh, > > > > Good job on the replacements. I kn

Hello friends; I am happy to let you know that I have just received delivery of my fourth (yes 4th!), C&C; a 1985 37; centerboard model. We had many issues getting it trucked in from Newburyport, MA; mostly weather related, but some delays due to the trucking company. It is in pretty good sha
