OK -
It has been over a month since I spoke with a local marine mechanic. At first they responded pretty quickly and were interested in doing the work (re-packing the stuffing box). I wanted someone who has done this before to come out do the re-pack so I could observe and learn how to do it myself if need be. I am hesitant to try it on my own since the boat is in the water now.
I have yet to hear back from them, so I am once again at a stopping point.
Once re-packed, I can work on getting the prop shaft aligned correctly.
Now that the days are getting a little cooler, I would love to be out on the water.
Ugh... Guess I have to wait some more.
Welcome Everyone
| You are welcome to follow my efforts as I attempt to restore a 1980 Cherubini Hunter-27 sailboat and convert from diesel to Electric Propulsion. This blog is my attempt to document the restoration of my Hunter 27 and share some of my successes and failures. Let me start out by saying that I am in NO WAY an expert on boats or electric propulsion. Just a regular guy with a love for being out on the water and a penchant for doing things the hard way. June 2007 - The Journey Begins!
Throwing caution to the wind, we bought the boat off eBAY. |
