My wife and I are beginning to think it may be time to convert our C C 27,

original (1972) Atomic 4. Any listers have experience with a project like this,
advice, or suggestions? The boat is sound, of course, as is the
Have you considered electric? It really comes down to how much you motor vs.
sail. A 27 would be a prime target for electric - either a bolt on pod or a

hanging off the transom so am willing to go to extremes to

My 27 came new as an outboard boat, so I can't tell you much about
converting. However, as far as which outboard motor to select, I have a
very strong preference for the Yamaha 9.9 High Thrust model. Most
outboards marketed for sailboats, are essentially a longshaft version of

would you be buying a new outboard?
If you swap that inboard out for a moyer exchange engine and you do the work
yourself you could have a brand new updated fuel injected engine for about
$5000. The moyer exchange engine comes with all the cool little update they
offer on the site too. The
Where do you sail, and how do you use your aux power?
My experience with outboard aux power on sailboat's = great for lighter
displacement boats getting in and out of sheltered moorage. Here in the PNW
outboards are used often on Olsen 30's and other lightweight boats in the 27'
range. I
I've owned sailboats powered by both outboards and inboards and can say
that the inboard is hands down a better choice. I strongly encourage you
to fix what you have or repower with a moyer.

It boils down to your preferences:
Outboard:
- can help in tight spots (as many said - it can be used almost as a stern
thruster)
- easier to maintain - lift it off and take it to a place where they will
fix it or do it in the comfort of your garage. Access is substantially
easier.
- no
Listers,
I thought I’d pass along a recommendation for a great tool in getting
perfect belt tension when installing a new belt on your CC engine. It’s called
a Belt Tension Jack.
I saw a write up on the SAIL Magazine website and was very skeptical,
but the $22 gamble paid off
I would go the outboard route if the boat is under sail 95% of the time and
motoring is just getting in and out of a slip and you NEVER need to get upwind
in a blow. Having graduated from outboard engines long ago, it seems the

Looking at all the wonderful $5-7000 suggestions. how bad is your A4?
Does it need an infusion of the auxiliary stuff, like fuel injection instead
of the carb and an electronic ignition? Or is the block/head/and so forth
all history???
I would think if you have been getting nickled and
Me three on that. The A4 is overall the best answer.

Rich, I think some others don't feel you are a skeptic. A friend took the
inboard one cylinder diesel out of his Andrews 26 (it died, no parts available)
and replaced it with an outboard. He got a three second addition to his PHRF.
We couldn't understand until someone mentioned ballast - down
Easy. Look at the NBDC Web site and pick out the South Haven Buoy and
it reads out the wave height in tenths of a foot.

I have had both. FWIW I would never go back to Outboard. My Catalina 27 had
a 15hp and was pretty well designed for it. Transom had a cut out in the
middle and the motor simply tilted up into this cut out- no bracket. There

One more thing nobody mentioned yet.
With the outboard we had, my wife could not, even if our lives depended on
that, drop the motor down (you had to lift it a bit first) and start it
