Hello Everyone,
We have a Catalina 27 (1975). We're using a Yamaha outboard, although
the original (non-working) Atomic 4 inboard is still in the boat . We
hope to get it out and sell it for parts over the winter. The rear end
of the boat sags a bit, as you might expect. Not a lot, though - the
bottom of the thru-hull for the engine exhaust is at waterline. We
plugged this hole with a wooden bung to prevent her taking on water
there.
Do any of you have this situation? Can anyone suggest ways to
counteract the sagging stern? Is it advisable to put a counterweight
of some sort in the V-berth storage space?
We assume that the boat is sailable in this condition. and we have
taken her out like this.
Any suggestions would be appreciated....
Henry & Lynn
