Hi guys,
I’m the new owner of a C&C 37 called Northern Light. Although this is my 6th
boat, it is my first C&C and I will test your patience with a number of
questions until I educate myself enough to remain quiet.
So in fact, it is in your interest to educate me as fast as possible,
considering my limited abilities.
First, I’d like to change the steering wire and chain system, does anyone know
what size wire, length and if any one of the ready made kits from Edson fits
the 37?
Secondly, did anyone use the StrutPro to remove the cutless bearing, and is it
worth buying it? It’s 350$ on their website, but considering the cost involved
in hiring another “PRO," and the fact that it eliminates the need to remove the
shaft and all the other circus, it may be worth it, but maybe I’m missing
something here.
Third question of the day is where to install an electric windlass, before or
aft of the locker? Any experiences, ideas in that area? I’ve seen a couple
installed ON the locker lid, but in that case I would prefer to hold it in my
arms for better grip. I’m planning on sailing Nova Scotia and circumnavigate
Newfoundland next summer as I am in fact a cruiser by trade. Sorry guys, but I
will load this fast boat with a lot of heavy ground tackle, in fact about 300
feet of Acco chain and a heavy Rocna and I need the windlass...
Thank you for your valuable advice and hope to e-meet most of you soon.
Cheers,
Chris
