[C320-list] Support of the c320 on its keel

[Joe Barrett]

I agree with the Diver as well. When I installed my Autostream the
Commercial Diver took the prop home the night before the install and
assembled it at home then disassembled to see how it works. The install in
the water worked well as the Autostream pitch needs to be adjusted to get it
right. Martec gets the settings pretty close but it took a little test
drives/ adjustments to get the RPM to 3600 at full throttle which seems
right for the Yanmar.

If all you need to have done is a prop change, why not hire a diver?  A
diver will certainly be cheeper than a haul out. Have the diver check and
replace your zinc too.

Larry,
 
Same here.  The jack stands are there for keeping it upright.  While there
is weight on the stands, I'd guess it's not more than 10% of the total
weight of the boat on all the stands combined.

   My boat sits on its keel from mid October to mid May every year with jack
stands to keep it stable
