Shannon is no C&C, it’s the Bentley of cursing yachts. A good friend worked
for Shannon building the interiors for 20 years. Price would be great if it
were not for the accident. How do you get de-masted and no damage the rest of
the boat? Insurance usually skimps out on repair so if I were
I probably shouldn't say this, but I have some miles delivering Shannons
and my brother was captain on a Shannon 50 for a couple of years. His quote
pretty much much sums up the boat for me. He said "It's just like a
Hinckley; all the screw heads line up. Unfortunately, none of them are
tight."

Hi, Bob — the Shannons are pretty boats, for the most part well-built. From
the photos, this one looks like there’s been some water damage to interior
woodwork; and the electrical system and much of the electronics are very dated.
And they’re not going to sail anything like a C&C.

Have you contacted Moyer Marine to ask them about the trouble you're

We just finished a week long distance race series and during the race I
noticed that the blocks that we lube with T-9 become pretty gunked up. We
cleaned with a solvent, rinsed with soapy water and fresh water, then
re-applied. Same result after a day or two. Anyone have similar
experience?
I just lubed some sticky snatch blocks with Harken Mclube - the aerosol
version. Eased right up and now spin nicely

Hi Danny,
You don't need to use premium gas in a relatively low compression
engine unless your fuel hose is not gas meth compatible (and maybe
some ancient injection equipment as found on old VWs, not the case
here!). The higher octane rating does not make it "better" gas but it

I got a laser-tach from Amazon for ~$20. It came with reflective tape
which you cut to size. I put a piece on the main pully and transmission
output shaft. I used it to make sure of the accuracy of the installed tach

Stop after soap and water treatment. Plastic bearing blocks don't generally
require any lubricant other than a good rinsing occasionally. I have all Harken

Dwight,
I won't debate the temptation or value of a replacement engine. This is not
so much a technical discussion as it is a discussion of the balance between
cost, aggravation and quality of life (aboard).

Generally with blocks that have ball / roller / needle bearings you do
not want a slippery lubricant. The blocks work by having the bearings
roll not slide. A proper grease / wax has the property of carrying away
debris, preventing corrosion and leaving a tiny film between the elements

Look at the electric feed to the fuel pump. Does it go through the oil pressure
sensor? In line fuse? Check all those connections. Bypass the oil pressure

Years ago when I had A4 in first boat it would run for a while then die. An old

T-9 works great on electrical connections like battery terminals and such.
It leaves behind a protective film that can be goopy. I flush my blocks
