Just a thought Edd: I repowered my 13,600 lb displacement C&C 36 XL/kcb (1995) with a Beta 25 after the Yanmar 30 GM? blew a head gasket at about 11 years of use (operator/system error!).
It was a perfect match as well and all-in it was about $10K including install, etc. I bring it up only because your 37 is probably not much more displaement than my 36 and the Beta 25 gets mine to hull speed in any coastal weather I would care to be in! You might at least run that by the Beta guru, who I agree is excellent.

They can’t get it to turn more than 3/4 of the way and they think it’s a bent rod or something. So, as far as I can see, the options are: 1. They ship this engine to a place that can fix/rebuild. I know this is the lowest-priced option, but also am aware that there’s a possibility it can’t be fixed or rebuilt. So, in essence, I’m gambling with all that time and labor. 2. Obtain a remanufactured Universal M-35 or a similar engine from Westerbeke and get that put in — anyone have any clue as to those costs? 3. Obtain a Beta-30 from Beta Marine for $11,000 including shipping and put that in. The Beta guy (who has been enormously helpful) says it should be a perfect match (same mounts, same power, lighter engine) Anyone have any advice, experience or comments with any of these options. If it were you, what would you do? Wanted to get this email out before I threw up. All the best, Edd Edd M.
