Hello all,
I would like to pick the brains of any Catalina 27, outboard well model, owners out there that is willing to respond.
I am very seriously considering purchasing a 1982 C27, OB well version. My first, hopefully of many, questions is what specific outboard are you running? Manufacturer, horsepower and shaft length?
I had the current owner remove his non working Nissan 9.8 because it didn't run. I mounted my little Tohatsu 6 HP Saildrive, 25" shaft for a short sea trial. I immediately noticed if hanging straight down the lower unit hit the rudder. I changed the pin position on the mounting bracket to create enough space between the lower unit and the rudder but then the angle of the outboard doesn't seem "optimal".
How do all of you avoid this problem?
I am looking forward to hearing from you all. Please?
