My $.02 worth from someone who took a direct lightning strike year before
last.
On my 40-2, the mast sits in a mast shoe, really a box made of 1/4"
aluminum, that has two keel bolts attached through it (one directly under
the mast itself). I had a small 12 AWG wire that connected the mast to

I have four of the large Merriman snatch blocks on my boat. Over the years,
all the center shafts have failed at some point. The little screw that hold
the holds the shaft in simply isn't up to the task. If you want to fix it
for less than 5 bucks, get a 3/8" x 3 1/2" stainless bolt,
Reading all the threads on shaft misalignment, clearly the vertical shaft
misalignment needs to be addressed. However, I had an experience many years
ago on Thorfinn regarding lateral strut misalignment that seemed relevant to
some of the threads. While I had the boat in the boatyard for a
Sludge in the tank definitely has to go, but I had an interesting situation one
time that may be relevant to the engine stopping problem.
One time while motor sailing on a starboard tack, trying to get back to port
before a nasty squall line came in, the engine quit without warning. I had a

If you need it back quicker, you could send it to SECO South in St Pete,
727-536-1924. They are a Navtec certified repair house and they usually
have the seal kits in house. I had mine done there a couple of years ago.
I think it was a little over $300 including the seal kit.

I had the same problem on my 1980 C 40. Zern Rigging in Pensacola, FL has a
machine shop, and they retipped the spreader ends. They are beefier now than
stock, and will probably outlive the boat. He went through all the possible
speaker tip vendors looking for something that could be readily
I ordered mine directly from Kracor, and even paid for a custom length.

I can tell you for sure the tanks in my 1980 C 40 are the 5060 on page 31.
Several years ago I ordered a special unit like the 5060 that was only 30
inches long (so now only 20 gallons) to make room for an air conditioning unit.
It was a piece of cake. It fit perfectly on the bunks and

A few things. First, I've never seen a switch in the negative battery leads.
Not sure what that's all about but as long as it's set to ALL, it's probably
not hurting anything.
Second, you might try checking the battery charger fuses. The Truecharge has
two 15 amp fuses under the

I repowered with a Yanmar 3YM30 a few of years ago and still have the old
starting handle for the 3QM30, which is not compatible with the new engine.
Contact me off line and we'll figure out how to get it to you.

My 40 has a 1 1/4 inch, t track mounted on the side of the boom with a
Schaefer Jiffy reef slide/bail that slides up and down the track so you can
position the clew attachment point for multiple mainsail reef points. The
reefing line goes through a hook that you use to select which reefing
