Do you have a C30 with a yanmar 2QM20?

[Hermit Scott]

I am looking for someone that could verify that a 2QM20 will fit in a 1979 C30. I just bought this engine on the cheap and before I go through an extensive rebuild, I would like to know if it fits with out breaking out the sawzall. I just finished rebuilding the sink cabinet and just got it installed yesterday. It looks like I may have to cut into it to make room for this engine.
If anyone has pics of how it looks installed I would really appriciate it.

You might check with Torresen Marine in Muskegon, Michigan, if you don't get an answer on the forum. Here's their site: http://www.torresen.com/

or ya could call Gerry Douglas at Catalina. He put the Universals in the C30s, but Yanmars in the new C309s.

Of course, hermit, I have no idea why anyone with the limited resources you proclaim repeatedly would research and seek out, and then go and actually buy a used engine and ONLY THEN ask whether it'll fit.

Different strokes, I guess. Good luck, I really do hope it works out for you.

Oh it will fit Stu! I just have to want it bad enough to make it fit. I may end up with out a bottom drawer in the sink cabinet and a chase lounge instead of the flat bench above the front of the engine. I just hope I don't have to cut the front of the cabinet because it's too long. That wouldn't be that bad; I could build a wood door that extends out like the one on the starboard side of the engine compartment.
BUT.... I hope it pretty much fits the way it is now. I hope someone already has it in their C30.
It was $350 plus a kayak I wasn't using. Resourses are a bit limited, but I thought this would be a good deal. And I had all my savings in Fannie Mae for the last week. Check out what that did over the last 3 trading days. symbol (fnm).
