My 27 came new as an outboard boat, so I can't tell you much about
converting. However, as far as which outboard motor to select, I have a
very strong preference for the Yamaha 9.9 High Thrust model. Most
outboards marketed for sailboats, are essentially a longshaft version of

I've owned sailboats powered by both outboards and inboards and can say
that the inboard is hands down a better choice. I strongly encourage you
to fix what you have or repower with a moyer.

It boils down to your preferences:
Outboard:
- can help in tight spots (as many said - it can be used almost as a stern
thruster)
- easier to maintain - lift it off and take it to a place where they will
fix it or do it in the comfort of your garage. Access is substantially
easier.
- no holes
Listers,
I thought I’d pass along a recommendation for a great tool in getting
perfect belt tension when installing a new belt on your C&C engine. It’s called
a Belt Tension Jack.
I saw a write up on the SAIL Magazine website and was very skeptical,
but the $22 gamble paid off
I would go the outboard route if the boat is under sail 95% of the time and
motoring is just getting in and out of a slip and you NEVER need to get upwind
in a blow. Having graduated from outboard engines long ago, it seems the

Looking at all the wonderful $5-7000 suggestions. how bad is your A4?

I would think if you have been getting nickled and dim
Me three on that. The A4 is overall the best answer.

Paul - All of the comments made so far are true. Which means, of
course, that you can do whatever you want to do.
My 2 cents (here we go...)
There's a boat ('Willful Simplicity') who's been cruising the Sea of
Cortez for five years in a Catalina 27 with an outboard. They're doing

Consider a sail drive...I had a volvo 2 cylinder gas saildrive that had a

Rich, I think some others don't feel you are a skeptic. A friend took the
inboard one cylinder diesel out of his Andrews 26 (it died, no parts available)
and replaced it with an outboard. He got a three second addition to his PHRF.

I have had both. FWIW I would never go back to Outboard. My Catalina 27 had
a 15hp and was pretty well designed for it. Transom had a cut out in the
middle and the motor simply tilted up into this cut out- no bracket. There

One more thing nobody mentioned yet.
With the outboard we had, my wife could not, even if our lives depended on
that, drop the motor down (you had to lift it a bit first) and start it
(pull start). Even if yours is complaining (or unhappy) with your current
