Opps, no insult intended :-)

I've only had Moonshine since August of this year and currently working through a long list of winter jobs to get the boat back into the water for next sping and hopefully make the Contessa 26, 40 year anniversery get together in Lymingtopn later in the year.

Hopefully will get the Yanmar 2GM20 engine back in with new engine mounts before Christmas into the reglassed engine beds.

I have to admit that I've dressed up as Santa and made a trip down to the local chandlers for two Lewmar self tailing winches, new autopilot and NASA instruments.....well Christmas only comes once a year.

Cheers
Andrew

Hi, I have a Yanmar 2GM fitted in my 1967 Contessa - bit of a tight fit and oversized for the boat but that's how it came when I bought the boat.

Hi All, I've just purchased a 1967 CO26 'Moonshine', originally "Arwen of LLeyn" which has a 2GM20 fitted (since the early 80's); based in Liverpool, England.

Did you get the 2GM20 engine mounts fitted ?.....if not I would be interested in buying them as my survey recommended the curent rusted mounts be replaced; which looks to be a very expensive task !

I'm just a few weeks a way from publishing my website with 120+ pictures of the boat and to record the rennovation work so I'll post the details but if you want any measurements/oictures of the engine bay let be know.

Cheers
