Re: Propeller
Hi Chris, I have a Universal M3-20 (3cyl 18hp Kubota) with a 3 blade prop but I don't know the size and pitch. This setup pushes the boat to 5kts at 1500rpm and to 7kts at 2000rpm. Matthias

Propeller
Hi folks, I currently have a Yanmar 2GM20F in my T-27 and it drives a two blade prop. This set up gives me very little power vs. vibration. I'm wanting to switch out props this summer. Has anyone gone

Re: Centerboard lifting system
Jack, I have replaced my centerboard pennant twice in the seven years that I have had Patience. The first time the 1/8" cable failed at the centerboard entry point while sailing in the Florida Keys.

Re: 1967 hull crazing
I can understand your apprehension with doing work on a boat. However, as I told one particularly nasty wench at a prospective marina.... Every boat that ever touched water is a project. A new boat

Re: Centerboard lifting system
There isn't a pulley of sorts.... Accept for the lifting pulley. I added a marine bronze pipe bushing as a wear component. You really should inspect this particular point on a regular basis. It's also

Re: 1967 hull crazing
Gang, and prospective T27 owner, My T27 (#328) is from 1967 and has a good bit of the 'spiderweb' minute cracking more or less all over above the water line. There were a few larger dings (smaller

Centerboard lifting system
Looking for help with the mechanics of raising the centerboard on our 1978 Tartan 27-2. I have two questions: How is your CB pennant attached to your CB? And what are the dimensions of the pulleys for

Re: 1971 hull crazing
We look forward to your being a Tartan owner as well; welcome to the conspiracy. To answer your question: it depends. You don't say where on the hull the crazing occurs, so I'm assuming the topsides.

Re: 1971 hull crazing
All old boats suffer some gel coat crazing or spider cracking from what I've seen. Tartans, Swans -- all of 'em. It is only a problem when it gets so bad it can let water into the laminate. Re-paint
