Steve on the Chesapeake
I just adopted a '73 C&C 30, that started a rehab project 3 years ago and has just sat there since. The boat isn't bad, but the Atomic 4 engine was in pieces in another boat, a couple of sheds, and the old owner's basement. I think I have enough for a full engine, with extra heads exhaust manifolds, several alternators, a couple of transmissions, etc, etc. Now I need t find an inventory list and hopefully, a good overhaul manual.
Can anybody tell me whether the little spiral overhaul manual on here is worth the $47? Thanks, Steve |

Steve,
Buy the Moyer Manual. If it saves you an hour of a mechanics time, it's paid for. Before you get too deep into the engine, have a good machine shop go over the block. If the block turns out later to have a crack or other fault, any investment of time or money will be wasted. |

Hey Steve,
Another welcome from another Chesapeaker. I was lucky..my new-to-me boat a few years back came with a Moyer Manual..heavily greased in the head area (been off several times before I owned it.) It is what led me to this forum and the equally invaluable information it provides.
