Shortly after I bought my 1978 34, the hydraulic system failed. On that boat
the hydraulic pump was in a cockpit locker separate from the backstay cylinder.
The problem was a cylinder seal. I took it to a local hydraulic pump repair
shop, and for about $250 was back in business for about 10 years (until I sold
the boat).

I’ve heard of one person on the list who had a problem.
I’ve had the Enterprise for 11 years now and don’t see any signs of wear, and I
have hydraulics, as well as used to race the boat pretty hard at times.
All the best,

There is an access hatch behind the headliner in the main stateroom that you
can crawl through. I have heard similar concerns. I suspect it is mostly from
boats with hydraulic backstay adjustments that have been raced hard.
Not sure if anyone on this list has had a problem. I haven't, but my boat is
a total cream puff cruiser that has never been raced and does not have
adjustable back stays.

Hello all,
We are interested in the C&C 37/40s, and saw a comment that the backstay
attachments should be closely inspected.? Can anyone advise how to get to the
backside of the backstay attachments?? It seemed (albeit based on a brief
check), that accessing them from the cockpit lockers would be difficult, and I
did not see an access point down below.?
I'm sure I'm just overlooking it...
Also, what is the best way to reinforce these attachments - larger backing
plates??? Anyone here do this, or will a simple inspection do the job with the
idea that reinforcement isn't needed if we aren't over-stressing the rig?
Thanks in advance!?
