CR 42

[SeaClearly]

I have really enjoyed reading the posts and learning from all of you.
We have recently purchased CR42 Hull 14. We live and have her docked
in the Outer Banks of NC.

We would love to connect with any other CR owners in the area and to
know the home ports of the rest of the CR42s.

Thanks,

Bill

Hi June and Duane,

I own CR 42 # 12 and am the first owner. (There is no hull no 13). Docked in Baltimore Maryland. Let me know if you decide to venture up north to the Chesapeake.

Bill,
I seem to remember talking to Fraser about them some time ago and if I remember correctly he did mention that they were reverse threaded and stated to keep that in mind when removing it. Trying to turn it clockwise may lead you to believe that it's seized into the cutlass bearing housing. You may want to check that for accuracy though.

Nick,

Bill I don't know of anyone that has done it. But when I first went to replace my cutlass bearing, this was early on in my boat ownership, The yard had no clue what to do and did the following: Tried to pull the tailpiece off, first removed the prop, undid the nuts holding the tailpiece to the boat, then tried to pull, hammer, etc. the tailpiece straight back. The log was coming with it. I had them stop and called Algonquin brass as they made the tailpiece. I was told to unscrew the tailpiece. I had to push the bolts back some to unscrew the tail piece, it came right off. After the yard tried to press off the cutlass bearing and smashed the tail piece I ordered another from Algonquin Brass, pressed in a new cutlass bearing into it myself. I had to knock the log back into the boat, used a sledge hammer and 2 by 4, careful not to damage the threads. The caulking that you put between the tailpiece and the boat seals the log. I would think that the easiest way to remove the log would be to fashion something with the same thread as the tailpiece and insert it into the log at the stern of the boat and knock it forward. Install the new log from the inside of the boat using a ram of some sort. Call Cabo Rico and ask how the install logs on the boat. I would think as you have maybe an 8" wall, you would want to shove as little log as possible through the hole? Anyway I would ask. Try Algonquin Brass for the log or they may know where to get it. It should not take more than three days to do it. ps I am very slow.

Bill my boat is a 38 do you have the same?

[Keith Laker]

Bill, I believe Nick is correct:  certainly on the NE400 the shaft log is a left hand thread onto the cutless bearing. It's a fairly straightforward job if you bear that in mind.

If the part came from Algonquin Brass you may be able to get a drawing of it.  I think on the 38 it threads clockwise. I have one in the garage and could look if needed. It was not a tight thread and unscrews by hand VERY easily.
