Dave: I agree that the lining up of the exhaust flange to the exhaust manifold to bolt them back together is a challenge. The guy that helped me with my replacement had the same size 'bolts' that screw into the exhaust manifold with the 'heads cut off' and then he filed a groove into the

Hey Graham, Plan C (fab up a shelf and glass it to the hull) is how it was done in our boat. Fillets with lots of tabbing to distribute the loads over the hull. I realize they are different boats. Ken H. On 20 May 2014 21:43, Graham Collins via CnC-List cnc-list@cnc-list.comwrote: So to

That would be my suggestion, too. In fact, it WAS my suggestion to Richard Bush to install his new system… :^) Graham, if you need to mount the drive to the underside of the cockpit sole, make absolutely sure to get the geometry correct. Most of our boats have the rudder post at an angle

But it won’t really be “near” the quadrant; the linear drives are often a foot-and-a-half or two feet long, and the drive end needs to be at a tangent to the quadrant. It’s tough (as Richard has found out…), but if you’re creative, you can usually find a spot somewhere around the circle of the

I needed all the distance that was available for the linear drive from the motor to the Edson autopilot tiller arm. I ended up filleting and tabbing, for lack of a better word, “mini” stringers to the hull from which I bolted a shelf that I frabricated. I did this because I needed to remove the

How do CB owners generally use them for daysailing and cruising? Assuming no depth issues (we have 20 ft in the slip) do you pull it when not sailing? Any other suggestions? It sure makes a big CMG difference upwind. Thanks Don Newman CC 44 ___

Up and down for racing, usually up for local cruising in the NC sounds and the ICW which rarely have depths of 20 feet. My 36 XL has a 4.5 ft depth lead cb trunk so there is plenty of 'keel' with the board up inside the trunk. Since the board weighs ~1000 lbs, grinding it up is not something
