Bobby. I have the same outboard on a Compac 23. If you can supply it with ethanol free fuel its a good idea. Based on what I've read, the small carb passages are known to clog a touch and affect low idle stalling and cause rich mixture issues, and also float sticking/flooding issues. They seem to be...

Welcome aboard ! As far as the rigging part goes (and assuming you haven't already) look under the main page www.chryslersailors.com then 'Documentation' for a bit of info.

EE has huge copper cables that run from the chainplates down under the banquettes then back under stern berth area to an external zinc plate. But honestly there are several 90 degree bends along the way, and I seriously down a big honking blast of voltage would follow that path without jumping ship...

I remember a thread about this from a while back, I had come up with a guesstimate of about 1100 pounds, while someone had seen it listed as about 950. Link to that thread is below

A 27...wow, they didn't make many of those. In theory they share the same design as a Morgan 27, so possibly there's a match between the mast steps there. Otherwise its probably a trip to a shop to have it replicated.. Click on the email link and send me the pic if you like, I can probably post it, ...

Prop stopped turning when switching to reverse at lowest revs. Motor will still start first pull, revs up, water pump working. The prop will now spin by hand even if in gear. Shear pin? Spun hub?

(No laughing allowed) - The last time I had to do that on EE at the dock by myself (main halyard came loose from sail and pulled the shackle to the top), I brought my extension ladder from home. Tied the jib halyard to the top rung, placed the foot of the ladder against the rear of the forward hatch...

Good job !

EE's side pieces are about 28 1/2 inches long (some water damage on the ends so you might cut a bit long and adjust) and 8 inches wide with a 15 degree angle on the ends. Front cover is 26 1/2 inches by 7.75 inches. Hope that helps Do you happen to know the width of the winch support table? I would...

From the pics it looks like compression damage from the spreader bolt being pulled too tight. If you pull the pin and remove the arms you'll see a bolt head on one side and the nut on the other. But likely there's no bushing/sleeve in between to keep that from happening. Hard to tell from pics how m...

Ira, a great source for knowledge and parts from Chrysler outboards is Franz Buddenberg - think Guru, and old school...be sure to have your model and serial number when you contact him, he'll want both.

Of harbors and launches and mortality
Well all, I've been missing from the board some... so I launched the CP23 at the end of February with big plans for March sailing from Long Beach Harbor.

I think the measurement ensures that the bridle center eye is at exactly the right height and fore/aft spot to be aligned with the mast hook IF the bridles are attached to the toerail slots specified in the manual. And that's the key location. So however you use the chain and whatever toerail slots ...

I gave up on the bridles a while back, and made up a more adjustable version using chain and carabiner clips. You can then just make sure the center clip on each chain aligns with the mast step, and is also clipped into the right toe rail slots by trial and error. Also lets me reset the whole thing ...

EE had a key in the rudder post mated with a slot in the tiller head. There's a nut/bolt that clamps the post to the Tiller head, and even with that removed I had to press (beat) the rudder post down thru the Tiller head. Caution- when it gets loose it's very heavy and will fall hard, don't be under...

Ira, we tossed ours long ago too, too heavy and in the way. For a cool idea look at the what Compac does with the galley and sink on the 23. They are flat boards on rails, and slide out when needed, and then back when not, leaving the access to the aft area open. We're going to do this on our C26 la...
