Thanks Roger. I have it all apart and am going to go with a new ss shaft per your suggestion. I will send photos. I'm also going to replace the cutlass bearing. I cannot tell for certain if the outside diameter is 1 1/4 or 1 3/8. Do you happen to recall by chance? Thanks again! Rob
Hello, I made the mistake of thinking of could pull the shaft on my 1973 C&C 27 Mark II to replace the stuffing box hose. Wow. I finally have the coupler off (after cutting the bolt heads) and am about the simply cut the shaft as close as I can to the coupler. I'm hoping I may have enough extra length on the prop end to simply move it up so I can re-use the shaft. If not, has anyone replaced their shaft recently. Is it a double tapered shaft? I just ordered a split coupler from Moyer Marine. Anyone try one of those? Thanks a bunch and all the best! Rob Goeke
May I ask how you did this? I presume you unstepped the mast? I have the same problem on my MKII. I thought is was the halyards and just ran new rope/wire halyards last weekend and realized that wasn't the culprit. I figured afterward that it was the VHF cable. Thanks, Rob
I just replaced all my MK II cabin cushions. Got a great price from JSI -2k with shipping for the whole set with sunbrella and four inch foam. Ask for Jane. Anyhow, I hate to throw out the old ones. They are yellow/black plaid with solid yellow v-berth. Let me know if anyone is interested. The cushions are in great shape with a minor tear in the starboard settee. Best, Rob
A great tip and a very nice offer - but read the experience of old cushions in Black Arts, Buying a 27 - sometimes you've gotta let go. - Admin
Hey, I've been sailing/racing my Mark II for 13 years on the Chesapeake Bay. Never been aboard a Mark V and have been curious as to how they compare. A guy in my marina has one and I've noticed myself admiring the simplicity of it -- reminds me a lot of my MKII except it has a wheel which I've never seen on a MKV before and seems a bit much to me. Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone has sailed both and can compare the two. Thanks!
