I have noticed you have an outboard fitted to your centaur I also have a centaur and the engine 1970 vintage volvo has died and I cannot afford a new one at present so I would like advise and photos about your experiance with the outboard if possible thanks Billy CR 502 Ireland

Billy,
I purchased my Centaur used without the original Volvo inboard, so my only experience with it, is with the outboard motor. I think the outboard is a compromise to an original inboard for a few reasons I have used a 9.9hp outboard motor, which is adequate, but I think minimal for my particular inland coastal sailing area. It is hung off the stern with a typical store-bought outboard motor bracket. (more to follow)

The biggest problem I’ve encountered is in rough seas, when the boat is pitching violently fore and aft, that the prop is sometimes out of the water and then the motor is totally submerged. This is an extreme case, but not fun when you need the thrust of the motor most. The other negative is having to reach over the stern to operate the controls. Also, I can only assume that the boat would handle differently (better) with the ballast of the original engine in the bilge, where it belongs,

The prop will also be out of the water when healing if you’re power-sailing.
On the positive side, the boat can be maneuvered quite well in tight areas, like docking, by swiveling the outboard and rudder at the same time, both forward and reverse. This same method works well in helping to wiggle out of shallow water.
Hope this helps,
Andy
