Re: Fall Adventure
The ER is very accessable with the rear up. Unfortunately, you wouldn't dare raise the back in a pitching sea. There is access from the "upper salon", down a ladder, and moderate space, but in the sea conditions, it was best to put it. Winds are currently 30 mph, and we're swinging on a ball. We launched the dinghy from the garage, and that's an adventure as well. I'm sure some folks love these, and my previous boat was a Regal 44 Sport Coupe, which is similar to this boat..but it makes me appreciate the old Hatts even more.

Re: Fall Adventure
Hopefully the weather settles and allows you to open her up. I loved my 43, especially when things became sloppy. Being able to cruise at 27 knots is nice too. Always a trade off.

Re: Fall Adventure
Talked with the Volvo guy. It appears the clutches are burned out in the starboard drive. We'll be limping to Stoneington, Maine, Billings Marine..on Friday when the weather breaks.

Re: Fall Adventure
I'm sure the bird could handle it, and it actually handles pretty good on 1 engine..but the 30 mph wind and 10 foot seas that neither the boat or the chicken at the helm WILL handle😎

Re: Fall Adventure
Hey Scott, my local mechanic, Volvo certified, says the clutches can be serviced without pulling the boat. The guy at Billings says the boat has to be pulled.. what's your opinion?

Re: Fall Adventure
I thought the transmission was between the engine and pod. Its possible you can get to the transmission with boat in the water but what does it save? Is it easier on the hard?
If I see the guys working on one at the cape I'll ask them.Scott
