Hi James, Your plan does not appear to allow for any sort of fine tuning...In addition, it can be very difficult to bend typical 1x19 rigging wire into an eye....

I remember that James replaced his rudder while his Catalina 27 "Daydreamer" was in the water. You might try searching for his info and contacting him. He...
Hello All, yes you can do this! Your rudder should float if its not water logged. you need about 6 feet of water. remove the tiller and the bolts that goes...

I took the original CNG stove out of my 86 model and replaced it with an Origo 3000. We never cook under way, so I didn't gimbal it. Just set it in the...
I don't like the heat in the cabin during the summer, so I don't cook inside. I use a propane grill and a Coleman camp stove for all my cooking in the...

James, Thx for the guidance....For some reason the bottom paint on my rudder did not last nearly as long as it did on the hull. I'll keep you informed. Aimar ...
Here in SoCal, and many other warm climates I'm sure, the rudder paint never lasts as long because it in the sunlight more. That means more algae and other...
Does anybody know if there is anything you can put on a prop to keep barnacles of? Christian Rainsbows End Westport, CT ... From: catalina27@yahoogroups.com...
You can purchase prop paint, but it tends to only last a season, so I end up jumping in the water about once a month to clean my prop during the summer and...
I take my boat out for the winter so one season is all I need. It used to be around here I only needed to jump into the water once or twice a season to clean...

I've got a 1985 C27. The black hose running from the steel exhaust riser pipe to the transom needs replacing. I think the previous owner may have replaced it...
Hi: Have a 77. Have had some great sails this summer in the Gulf Islands off Vancouver. I am a new/beginner sailor. Cant find any specs on how the boom is...
Hi: When I looked at the mast picture, I put a pin in to prevent the boom from slipping up and out of the mast slot. This was somehow below the boom. Do you...
Hi Judy, My 1976 C 27 had a gooseneck fitting that could slide up and down in the sail track. It also had a cleat on the mast track near the base of the mast....
My 86 model has the hump in the hose. I think some of the earlier models with the 5411 raw water cooled motors, had a straight hose. I would stick with the...
My 84 Model has the same hump. I also replaced the exhaust flap on the thru hull that was missing. It really helps keep water out and the exhaust and cooling...
I am assuming the boom is attached (by a goose neck) to the mast. It sounds like your problem was when you raised the sail the boom went up (maybe out the...
