The engine and gear ratio, together with the engine power, are critical for any propeller sizing. When choosing an engine &/or propeller for your boat, it is important to consider the effect of the gearbox ratio on the propeller. Most marine diesel engines have a reduction gearbox, which makes

Rodney is correct, of course. But also consider that some C models come with different gear ratios for the same boat. Get the ratio off the gearbox name plate before ordering a prop. My PO didn't do that and I got a boat with the wrong prop. Gary S/V Kaylarah '90 C 37+ East Greenwich, RI, USA

The only reason for water dripping is to lubricate (and cool) the seal/shaft interface. However, the PTFE packing has low enough friction that you don't need to lubricate. Hence, no need for dripping water. Btw. the main difference between the normal shaft seal (regardless of packing) and the

Paul — Ken is absolutely correct (as usual…) about the white wind vane cable connection box. As far as other installation tips, you can daisy-chain the instruments per the manual to share data across them. You will need to provide a power connection on the SeaTalkNG bus to power them; and you

Replace your fuel fill hose. I hadn't thought about doing that until one day when I was working in a locker, brushed up against the fuel fill hose and noticed cracks. I replaced it immediately, and then went about replacing all of my hoses. Alan Bergen 35 Mk iii Thirsty Rose City YC Portland,

I have a 1974 C 35 MKII that came with the standard C emergency tiller which is almost useless because the rudder shaft exits the cockpit sole aft of the steering pedestal resulting in very little range of motion with the tiller handle. It would be almost impossible to tack with that emergency

To bad they changed in on the Mk II, it has to be due to the different rudder on the Mk II. It works well on my 35 Mk I (I tested it to make sure it worked) but as you noted it is in front of the steering column on the Mk I. On the 29 Mk II (had one of those too) it is aft of the pedestal and

Is there a method to test the condition of a diesel fill hose? Something similar to wrapping a warm wet rag around an old sanitation hose? As diesel is not as volatile as gas would guess hoses carrying diesel would last longer… ?? And it is not like the fuel was sitting in the hose as the

The small white junction box is if you need to cut the wire at the base of the mast to allow the mast to be removed from the boat without pulling the wind Sensor cable all the way back to the instrument. You don't need to install the white box right away, you could leave a couple of loops in the
