Dwight, A full confession.... I had a C&C 24, but three years ago we switched
and bought the Catalina 270 (this is a newer version of the 27). My C&C was
1975, this boat is 20 years younger; it is almost new (at 20-years of age). It
has many things that especially my wife is happy about (open transom, twice as
much room at the cockpit, real head (with door), stove, running water, inboard
motor, wheel steering (no more hitting everyone's knees at the tack), no wood
to varnish, not to mention that this is not a boat to put the rail in the water
on the regular basis). We miss our C&C 24 on occasion. It was (is) such nice
little boat - a human size one. I miss its simplicity (there was hardly
anything to maintain) and sturdiness (you can't kill it even with an axe). We
had it for 7 years. The good thing is that the problems (challenges) are more
or less the same, regardless of the boat one has. The inboard motor is diesel
(Perkins, but 90% of the issues are the same between Perkins, Universal or
Yanmar); the pedestal is Edson, the electrical system is more or less the same,
the running water - the same, the head is Jabsco. The specifics are different,
but all these boats are different, even if they are the same model. I hope

finally listened to Compass Marine:
http://www.pbase.com/mainecruising/pss_shaft_seal The point being I expect the
shaft collar he uses is orders of magnitude cheaper than the one PSS supplies.
I would consider relying on zincs and retention rings .... and just the worn
key ... to secure the shaft together to be a temporary measure only. You know
it’s going to shear at the worst possible moment! Peter Fell

Subject: Re: Stus-List Propeller Shaft Coupling question Yes I have the same
feelings. I also have zincs on the shaft in front of the strut, I guess it
eases the feeling of losing the shaft, provided the zinc stays put? Thanks,

Subject: Re: Stus-List Propeller Shaft Coupling question I have been dealing
with exactly that issue since I bought my boat 7 years ago. It hasn't been an
issue and as a backup I have a zinc anode on the shaft about 3/8" from the
packing nut just in case it lets loose. I'm sure the keyway is wearing out as a
result but I haven't noticed any increase in play. It's just on my mind as one
of those " not quite right" things Brent27-5Lake Winnipeg

in and the boat back together discovered that the propeller shaft coupling is a
little loose on the shaft, maybe 1/8” of rotational movement on the shaft, like
possibly the keyway is worn?. Have tried tightening the set screws, which
secures the coupling but eventually they work loose and again there is movement
of the coupling on the shaft. It’s been recommended that I have the boat
hauled, the coupling removed, the shaft pulled out and provided the shaft is
ok, a new coupling fitted and faced to the shaft, and then reinstalled for a
final alignment. My question to the group is has anyone else been running
around with a loose coupling and is this something I should be immediately
concerned about? Thanks, Brad CrawfordCnC 36Seattle
