Many in the past have repowered a CD27 with the Yanmar 2gm-20F. If memory serves there had to be some modification to the engine compartment to get it in there.

Put "CD27 repower" or 2gm-20F into the search function on this board and you should see previous discussions.

By the way, most CD27 repowers these days are using newer engines. Yanmar YM-15. Betamarine 14HP or a Westerbeke...(I forget exactly which but Robin Meigel of this board just did it with the Westerbeke. Andy Denmark Did it with the beta.

Do the search and all these engines will come up
