I figured you were toying with me, but not to the point of ignoring such a taunt.
These are the average PHRF numbers, and I think the 40 has a little more windage . The C&C 39 next to me repowered around 10 years ago with a 27 HP Yanmar, and they did say that it was underpowered. They went with the recommendation of the local engine guy. But your point is well taken, and when it is really honking I cannot understand why anyone would motor.

I wouldn't mind a few more horses to help me along at times. In 1980, I sailed on a 40 that had a VW Pathfinder diesel in it. We could motor pretty quickly, but boy was that thing a pain to get at in that tiny box!

That said, a few more HP couldn't hurt. My boat is under powered (2GMF) (HP not close to HP per 32 feet) if I had to motor into a good wind and sea.....I wouldn't get anywhere in a hurry has been my experience. And changing props wouldn't significantly change this basic fact. Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax. N.S.

Bill, I think the reason the 40 gets away with such a small engine is that it sails so well. Lesser boats may need the extra horsepower... :) Andy C&C 40 Peregrine Andrew Burton 61 W Narragansett Newport, RI USA 02840 http://sites.google.com/site/andrewburtonyachtservices/ +401 965-5260 On Jan 14, 2014, at 16:35, "Bill Coleman" <colt...@verizon.net> wrote: That sounds woefully underpowered. That boat should have a 37 – 40 HP engine in it. Anyways. Which might explain why it won’t develop full RPM’s Also need to know what your reduction is. Then, after everyone chips in and ballparks a prop size & pitch, you will still need to get the recommendation of the Prop vendor – that way, when it is not exactly right, they will, if they are reputable, take it back and resize it. Unless you are buying one from a third party, in which case hopefully someone with an identical boat, engine and reduction can fill you in. I suppose that is what you were looking for before I went and shot off my mouth. ;^ ) Bill Coleman C&C 39 <image001.gif> From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of George Cone Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2014 4:03 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List folding prop for C&C 40 I am considering adding a folding prop for the boat and wanted to know if anyone had information on the recommended size of the propeller and what the size of the shaft might be. The boat is a 1981 with the 27 hp – yanmar 3HM- the engine is rated for 3200 rpm, but normally will only go to 2600rpm.
