I just had an insurance survey in Ontario.
CO detector was "required".
Smoke detector was "recommended".
Propane detector was neither "required" or "recommended".
We had to add the CO detectors and we also added a smoke alarm.
This was all driven by Insurance requirements :-)

When I bought it it was $7/ftnow a bit more! Worked well for me.
Also have you tried these guysHammerhead Nautical Systems in Toronto?

I bought some leather pieces from OA Leather.
Bought some cheap leather working tools on Amazon for punching holes and
did it myself.
I think the total cost was around $80 and looks as good as the Edson
version.
Probably one of the most satisfying things I have done to the boat since I
owned it
My experience is with a C 40. When we first got my boat it had a
functioning ST4000+ wheel pilot. It was fine motoring and sailing in light
winds.
Based on the literature, our boat is technically too heavy for the ST4000+.
My main complaints for the ST4000+ Wheel Pilot:
1) it was noisy...and it
My 40 had a wheel pilot when I bought it. (ST4000+ and the wheel ring)
It was only useful for motoring in calm seas.
The mechanism would get overpowered in anything else and then it would just
quit trying.
I viewed it as a safety item and so I have since upgraded to a hydraulic
ram on the quadrant
The iSeries comes with everything to measure tanks including the senders
and it cost me about $200cdn.
I already have a lot of electronics aboard (Raymarine, NMEA200, Raspberry
Pi, Yatch Devices etc.) but could not bring myself to spend $ on networked
tank monitoring.
This is a low tech solution
We use this on our 40.
The 40 has dual 30G water tanks.

I also use it on my holding tank.
All the tanks are the original Poly.
Been installed for 2 years, I like it.
Works fine and did not break the bank.

I have a 1983 C 40 AC.
It has the original engine, Westerbeke W33 still going well.
I pulled it 2 yrs ago and redid seals, gaskets, injectors, damper plate etc.
This winter I had the tranny rebuilt.
If the engine is running fine and shows no issues then a light refresh like
I did might be the way
Coroplast won't hold up. It doesn't survive UV and when hot gets very soft.
If you use a backing, best to use Polycarbonate sheet.
It is what they use for green house panels.
This is what I have done and it is working well.
I learned the hard way and destroyed one of my panels before that.
Stephen, I have built many rudders. I just finished a year building rudders
for a living as a break from my normal gig. It was a nice sabbatical but
quite demanding physically. If you want a nice rudder built for you contact
Competition Composites, they build nice products.

I pulled the engine this fall so I could work on the engine compartment.
Boat is a 40-2 Aft Cabin so engine is relatively easy to pull.
Plan was/is to do basic stuff like mounts, wiring, hoses, injectors, valve
adjust. Plan is not to rebuild the engine. Engine has ~3000 hrs. Does not

I am starting to plan a below deck Autopilot for my C 40. I have looked
below and it is clear that I will need to make some modifications to
support a tiller arm. I was wondering if there are any other 40 owners who
could share pictures of their installations. Currently I have a wheel pilot
and it
I am planning to pull the engine from my C 40 Aft Cabin this fall.
The goals are to clean the engine area and redo the sound insulation.
I will also change the engine mounts and inspect the PYI dripless.
I may overhaul the engine (Westerbeke W33 with about 3200 hours).
There is nothing
Was looking to see if anyone in the list had any experience (good or
bad) with this particular boat model.
The engine access looks like it is a bit of a challenge. Similar to LF38.
The stairs into the cabin are fairly steep and it is a long way down.
Anyhow, any feedback is appreciated.
