Does my 2005 Catalina 34 mkII have a screen on the end of the fuel tank lift tube?

Dave Spencer

Likely not.  It was an affliction that affected earlier boats.

Thank you!  I thought not, but wanted to check before I pulled it out.  Do you have any suggestions on how to clean the tank without removing it?

Guys : FYI, When this came up after an article in Practical Sailor in the mid 1990s; we determined that it was in the 1992/3 production that the screens were not installed in the C34 fuel tanks.

Hw, you can have your tank "polished".  I had mine done at the fuel dock in Alamitos Bay in Long Beach.

Thanks, Mark...what does polishing entail?
