By more teak, I meant more teak in the cockpit. My toerail doesn't go to the stern of the boat, I have a teak cap there.  The top of my cockpit coaming is also teak at the stern and I have some just aft of the cockpit lockers. Was going to attach a photo, but I don't think this board will allow it. Here's a link to a photo in my Flickr account.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/64497909@N00/9263071262/

Not mine, but I noticed it a couple of days ago.

I had the same issues last season after putting mine in the water.  Ended up being that the home made shaft coupler became out of alignment.  I would think that easiest start to diagnose the problem is to sit in your cockpit locker and look at the shaft/engine while someone turns it from outside. If everything is staying nice and true then your prop probably isn't opening properly.   If the engine moves around a bunch then I would disconnect the shaft from the engine and have the shaft turned again.  If the shaft turns true spin your coupler while watching the engine.  If it doesn't move around while turning the coupler you most likely have an alignment problem.  Good luck.C&C 27 Mk I #4

Having mentioned that one of the interesting things I've noticed about my boat, being hull#4 and a "Hinterhoeller 27", is that there are differences from later Mk I's. Had not even thought that the windows could be different sizes.

37x8 for the rear windows, misread my own writing.

Do you still have the aluminum frames?  If yes you could send them to wherever you go to get plexi/lexan and get them to cut to that size and drill the same screwholes.  Might cost a bit more $$$ but may be worth it.

If I get a chance I'll take some measurements from my windows tomorrow.  Otherwise my next trip down to the boat will probably be Thursday.  Do you still have the original frames?  I would imagine that silicone was used because the previous owner couldn't find, or couldn't justify the cost of the factory gasket material.  I'm glad the previous owner of my boat re gasketed the windows about a year ago.  What hull # is yours?

If you could find one I would imagine that one of the Harken magic boxes would work well for your outhaul.  I'm not sure yet what's inside my boom outhaul wise, but there is a Barient 6 attached externally so hopefully it's just the block at the end of the boom and the exit.  Shouldn't even be too much longer before I finally get to sail it too.C&C 27 Mk I #4

[If you have a Harken magic box in good condition, for heaven's sakes don't use it on your boat – sell it and use the proceeds to pay off your mortgage. Magic boxes are as rare as a used moral compass from the Harper gov't (available ones are all still in the original packaging) and correspondingly valuable. - Admin]
