When I replaced Calypso's engine mounts I also needed to improve how the bolts were fastened to the engine beds. Calypso's engine beds are fiberglass over wood (for height and width) with a steel bar laminated on top of the wood under approx. 1/2" of fiberglass. I was able to go up one size of

There is still Defender. Though, their website is not as technologically up to date as Fisheries Supply. But, to be honest, I will always pay more to support our local joints if they have what I need. Easy for me to say, since we are fortunate to still have a few to chose from here in NYC. ~Han

Fawcett Boat in Annapolis is always less than West and has free shipping on most orders over $99. They also have more sailing gear than the local West. I use a Port Supply discount at West. It varies from 5% to 60% depending on the item. Joel On Fri, Mar 10, 2023 at 11:39 AM Jeffrey A. Laman v

Jamestown Distributors has always given me great service. I haven't compared their prices for a while but they were in line with other places or lower. They have their own brand called Total Boat, which is very good, unlike most West Marine brands. Andy Andrew Burton 26 Beacon Hill Newport, RI US

Most people I talk to are disappointed at the direction Defender has been going after being purchased by a Hedge Fund, or whomever, and West has been pretty pricey since Randy Repass left years ago, and now that doesn't look too good -

The bolts came finally came out with pressure and power impact. It doesn’t appear to be wood under the fiberglass. My plan is try to drill out see if I can re-tap or May look to cut out and back the stringer and glass afterwards. Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 10, 2023, at 9:25 AM, Della Barb

Like Joe said, angle iron. The diesel in my 35-1 is mounted on angles bolted through the rails. 1600 hours and no issues. Another option is have a shop fabricate a channel and install it over the rails through bolted. Look at stainless toggle bolts or Twist-Tee anchor bolts. If you drill the h

Stus-List Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Motor Mounts

Another thought, Are the *bolts* stripped or the steel plate? Is it as easy as new bolts? I did an emergency repair on my old Atomic 4 once by just using one tap size up to re-tap a stripped hole in the block, that may also work if you can get the engine out of the way and have a straight vertica

Stus-List Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Motor Mounts

I am not sure if this helps, but the C&C 35 engine mount is angle-iron that is bolted horizontally through the stringer and then the engine mount bolts go into vertical tapped holes. That could possible be adapted for this case??? Joe Coquina From: Jeff Nelson via CnC-List Sent: Friday, March 1

Stus-List Re: Motor Mounts

Yes! That would be a great option as well, if a larger bolt size isn't possible for re-tapping, then just drill out enough for the heli-coil of the right bolt size and good to go. Cheers, Jeff Nelson Muir Caileag C&C 30 - 549 Armdale Y.C. On 2023-03-10 09:21, Joel Aronson via CnC-List w

Stus-List Re: Motor Mounts

I've not taken one (engine stringer) apart, but in other areas that I have inspected on mine, there is fiberglass and more fiberglass... well over an inch thick in some areas.  I guess back then they were not sure how much was enough...  You may find some epoxy saturated plywood...but I doubt it.

Well that's going to be fun.  Have you been able to take the old bolts out, and is it possible to tap a new thread next size up?  That would be easiest solution.  Otherwise, Major re-construction in your future, I see. Good news, If yours is like my 30, it is a big mass of fiberglass topped with

Hi I’m replacing the motor mounts C&C 37+, Yanmar 3HM35F motor. Removed the two back mounts, looks like they are held in by machine bolts into bed. The front two bolts holding each mount were stripped. Question, anyone else came across this? thoughts on solution to re-fasten/bed the bolts. -
