It's time to replace my 46 year old Universal 5416 (Westerbeke M-20) in my 1980 C&C 34. Two oil leaks this season and a broken alternator tensioner bolt make motoring less than confident on the ocean. I searched the archives but did not see a thread about repowering.
JC Marine, here in New England, has many Yanmar 3YM-30, a newer and current production 20ish horsepower model. I can start doing the research but drawing on the wisdom of this wonderful group... 1 - Will a Yanmar 3YM-30 fit in the engine bay? Both through the stairway opening and when mounted. 2 - Will the motor mounts line up? 3 - Will the transmission line-up? On the other option, is anyone interested in buying a 1980 C&C 34? It's a blue hulled, tiller model which I think is awesome when at anchor to get the full cockpit. I hope everyone's having more fun than I am! Todd R. Williams Saco, ME
