Not sure what will be done with the Yanmar, I'd like to replace it with an electric drive. I'll let you know after I get it out. Do you know if the cylinder can be sleeved? My first thought was to rebuild the Yanmar, a complete tear down including the trans. I like the thought of having renewable energy as the source. Can I design one? Maybe. I am not sure the Yanmar can be rebuilt.Marcus

Are you tossing the Yanmar? If so I would be interested in buying it. >>> "Marcus" <[email protected]> 7/14/2010 4:56 PM >>> Hello and thanks, it is nice to have a place like this and ask questions to owners of the same model. I had a P 26 and left Florida opting for Houston. I like the Catalina cabins. I found one today it needs some love and care but at my inspection today it matches the price. My first project is to get the Yanmar out. Ideas concerning engine removal would be a big bonus. Keel bolts or nuts (can't remember) are rusted; is that normal for Cat 27? The P 26 has a roller furling and I will want to add one to the cat 27. The owner said the marina fee was 140 a month and for that place I think it is a bargain. Regards, Marcus
