Hi every body i come from Montreal and i am in sasafras river Shasepeake bay and i think i have a problem with my transmission, sometimes it's very hard to disengage the reverse and when i want to engage there is a big vibration when i engage the reverse but not always. I'am going to bahamas and i want to repare that and i want a good place for that in Shasepeake. I go to Annapolis boat show and maybe i can find a good place for check the problem. Do you have recommendation for me . i have a c34 1997 with a m35bc with a hurth hbw 100.

Thank you for your help. I am not sure about which method i will use but i this weekend i will remove the wall of the room and remove my water tank for to have much space to work. Also i need to change my cutlass bearing and i saw that it is possible to remove the shaft without to get down the rudder. I think there is a puller for that and i will check for rentig one. Good weekend

Thank you Ken i found the two methods. About the method with the mylar film it is possible to install as long as the tube or less? I am afraid with the other method because i don't want to have a hearth attack like you say. Excuse my English i'm learning because i leave my country (Canada) for 1 year with my sailboat and i need to be better with my language

Thank you Ron . Do you have a few pictures of your job and where can i find Your mylar drafting film. Do i need to get down my rudder Did you install that with glue in tube rudder. I am a little bit afraid to play with that. Can you show me a little sketch about the job. Thank you very much

Thank you for your help. The mouvement of my rudder is a horizontal left to right front to back. I will check if there is a vertical mouvement up and down. I see on the Catalina direct a kit ( rudder bearing epoxy kit) for injecting a layer of epoxy filled with tough colloidal silica and super slippery graphite powder between the rudder shaft and rudder tube. Is there somebody know that. I though that it was a bearing in the top of the tube and the base of the tube but it seems that there is no bearings. And also do i need to go down the rudder to change my cuttlass bearing. Thank you

Hi everebody i am not very familiar with the site and my english is not very good, I'm loocking for a tech note or a post about removing my rudder to change the bushing because there is a loose when i move it. And the same time i will change my cutlass bearing. When i check the tech note the list finish at 2010. Is it normal. If possible if you have a couple of pictures for to do that it would be appreciate. Thank you.

Hello guys i'am loocking for a small wind turbine for help my solar panels when  it's very dark day and the night. So i saw a rutland 914i and i think is a good choice. Fabrication in England since 25 years by Marlec and  not to big and supposed to be the more quiter according with the Practical Sailor. My question is, is there some sailor has this generator and what do you think about that. It's just for a little bit more energy because when i will go to Bahama from Montreal i will have a second refrigerator of 45 liter Engel. Thank you and excuse my English i'am learning.

Thank you again for all

Hi i have a 34 mk11 with a m35bc and i want to install a new propeller like a kiwi prop. Is there somebody has this propeller and what's the size i need and and the best pitch for this 35hp. Thank you very much directly from Montreal
