[C38] Transmission Replacement, engine probably doesn't need pulling

[Don Strong]

Dear Pam: Tom T. has the answer (as usual!). Cut a removable floor in 
the sail locker. I removed and replaced my transmission with great 
access thorough the removable sail locker floor. However, it could be 
that the engine is mounted so far astern that you dont have room to 
slide the transmission far enough sternward after you unbolt it.  
Luckily, my Yanmar 3GM was set far enough forward that allowed the 
transmission to be led off the bolting points.
