New Engine for Far Cove - it's Official!
Hi,
Thought I'd contribute to the on-topic stuff here... Last night, put down a cheque for $4500CDN as deposit on a Shiny New Universal M25XPB and matching Campbell Sailor 14x10 prop (dealer suggested 14x9, but others varied from 14x10 to 14x12 to 15x11 - I'm guessing he doesn't want me to load down the new engine). On Thursday, I pulled the old engine (it was a Good Engine...sniff!) and it's now sitting on the galley sole on 2x8's. I'm cutting the tops off the engine stringers to check for rot - only found a bit at the holes so far. Also looks like I'm in for a new exhaust system. The dealer didn't like the way Catalina did it, and after he showed me the Universal Way, I'm tempted to agree with him. For instance, there's no anti-siphon loop in the raw-water hose in the Catalina installation. So now...we wait (and mess with the stringers and exhaust...). New engine will arrive in about 3-4 weeks. Total cost including new prop and 14.5% taxes, less $1500 for the old engine: $8851.63CDN (for Harry: that's about $7K US) Lloyd Sumpter "Far Cove" Catalina 36 - currently engine-less |
