Any of you 37+ owners know how to get to the aft most mounting screw on the port handrail? It looks like it's inside nut is above the headliner of the head or maybe above the forward bulkhead of the head, between the salon headliner and the head headliner. I am fine pulling the head's headliner

I’m relatively new to sailing boats though I have been to a school using 14’ Holders, then 21’ day sailors, wind surfing (lake boards) and 30+ years of hang gliding. I currently own 2 sailboats, a 1976 23’ Ericson and a 1977 26’ CC (my favorite). I’ve owned the Ericson about a year and the CC

Having a slightly bigger CC, I would think if you supported the boom at the aft end and used a multi-part lift, the engine would come out easily. I would try to spread the load on the boom - use about three lines (spread over about three to four feet) from it to the lifting come-along or

Welcome, Dan First, the leaks on the toe rails. They should currently be sealed with butyl rubber. You can tighten the fasteners a bit. Have someone hold from above and tighten from below. Do NOT overtighten or you'll squeeze the butyl out. I don't worry too much about toe rail leaks but if

I have used my boom many times to get the A4 engine in and out of my boat. It works well if you remember the boom is strong in COMPRESSION. If the engine is not being lifted from the end of the boom, you need the main halyard to tie to the boom where you are lifting from. What you do not want

A relatively easy way to check further about your engine - pull the cylinder head. My 2QM15 had a crack between one of the valve seats and the water passage. Replacing the head was not cheap, but a lot easier than pulling and still only having to replace the head. Once the head is off you can
