I am trying hard to find a replacement strut for an '89 c-34 (wing keel). The old strut proved to have serious electrolysis and basically came apart during the effort to install a new cutlass bearing. (Be sure your strut has zinc.) I have been talking to the factory and they are trying, but it is proving to be a difficult process. Meanwhile the boat is in dry dock, and storage fees are mounting. Suggestions welcome.
Wet : I see that you have been talking to the factory.
Talk to Gerry Douglas and I believe that you'll find that the C34 used the same strut as the C36. That may broaden your horizons.
I doubt that Catalina made their own struts and probably purchased struts from another company. Gerry can tell you. A few thoughts
Thanks Ron. That's helpful.
