Welcome Aboard

I've owned a Cat27 since the early 1980s. Hull #4446. 1980 model built in 1979. Been more than a few rounds with it.

I've replaced\serviced\maintained all the "external" engine parts over the years. Such as distributor, water pump, fuel pump, carburetor, cooling system, so on. Never have had to do any fixing on the engine internals. (knock on wood)

I rewired and purchased new gauges.


A couple of suggestions:
Keep up with engine maintenance. If you treat your engine right it will treat you right. The Moyer manual is an excellent source of A4 information.
If the standing and running rigging was not surveyed before you bought the boat have a look at it yourself or have a rigger survey it.

Is your A4 a early or late model?

If you have any specific questions put up a post or send me a PM. If I don't know the answer someone in the forum will.
