Re: Stus-List Also looking at a C 36 - engine at an angle?

[William Walker via CnC-List]

Bruce,
  Have owned my 36 for five years.  Love it.  Yes, the engine is mounted at 
slight angle.  As earlier respnse said, allows removal of shaft without 
dropping rudder.  Once you get used to it, it is a great advantage docking, as 
you can pull/push the stern a little with short bursts of power.  Not a 
problem.  When motoring, does require a slight port steer to keep going 
striaght, maybe an inch or two off dead center.  
  I love my boat.

Yeah, so... in my quest to find my next boat,
looking at a variety of
32-36' C
 
I looked at a C yesterday, the
first 36 I've inspected.  Was
surprised to note that, both from the
companionway access and the
lazarette access, it looked like the engine was
mounted offset - it
appeared to be angled maybe 3-4 degrees off centerline -
the forward end
on centerline, the aft end of it offset to port.
 
I wasn't
smart enough to look at the shaft (I only had a half hour on
the boat, broker
had another appoinment), but it got me to wondering -
is the shaft offset on
the 36 (to counteract prop-walking or something)?
 Or does this boat have a
major problem?


Thx
Bruce

Helps with the prop walk and also makes it possible to remove the propeller 
shaft without removing the rudder.
