Just a note to those of us with Hunter 27s with Renault RC8 engines: After some searching I found what appears to be a good source for spare parts - Waterway Marine in Annapolis MD, web site: http://www.waterwaymarine.com/ They are the domestic distributor to Nanni Marine, the folks who took over Renault Marine in 1984. They were able to procure the bushings, bearings and seals I required to rebuild my 1980 Renault transmission. Great feeling hearing it rev up again after it seized earlier this summer. They are more of a wholesaler than retailer, so I simply worked through my homeport marina to handle payment. Parts were ordered from Nanni in France and took about 3 weeks to get to my door. Dan
