My engine locked up and I am having to pull it to get it rebuilt. It is a
Universal diesel 2 cyl 11 hp. I am not sure what the best way to go is and how
much I have to take off the engine before it will fit thru the compartment
access. Anyone have any experience with this? Please reply here as my email is

Well, I just pulled the Universal M25 (3cyl 21hp) out of my Catalina 36 and it
was a piece of cake.

I removed the alternator and heat exhanger, as well as all the "normal" things
like electrical, fuel, hoses, etc. Then I rigged up a comealong hanging from the
boom, which was supported by the mainsheet at the point I attached the
comealong.

Came out slicker 'n snot!
