C&C-29 Yacht shaft vibration problem?
My father has a C&C-29 sailboat with a Yanmar inboard diesel engine. Last summer the prop shaft was damaged due to a collision and has since been replaced, but there’s still a horrible vibration. He thinks the strut might also be damaged but is unable to get a new part or the proper measurements and angles to have one made. Can anyone out there help with this issue?
I will add one thing – DO NOT scrimp here…
You do not want an agonizing or returning problem.
Have a reputable mechanic in a reputable boat yard – do a complete allignment – and I would suggest a laser allignment.
If you have to replace the strut and cutlas – then you will have less money in your pocket AND less gray hairs on your head.
ONE MORE THING – I had to replace the bearings in the transmission due to a grounding. The Mechanic said he “would not garrantee his Laser Alignment if I did not replace the sloppy bearings”.
Also make sure there is no zinc on your shaft and have your prop tested first.
