Re: PS comment about facial tissues in the head. Buy a weighted teak or resin cube tissue box holder, spray-glue non-skid to the bottom, and use a roll of potty paper inside.
That was my normal go-to at home before I was shamed for wanting to re-engineer everything I put my hands on.

Remove the temperature gauge sender from the thermostat cap. And use it to follow the troubleshooting steps I said in message #69.

Last post by KWKloeber - May 26, 2024, 10:34:11 AMYards just suck, don't they?
Theyre conserving their tall stands. Your business isn't "worth" one.
They're not totally useless if they're holding weight but it's not 'correct' (JTSO.)

Main Message Board / Blocking stand question
Last post by karista - May 26, 2024, 07:35:33 AMBoat was hauled out a few days ago, I was not at the yard when hauled and blocked. Checked yesterday and the center stands look to be useless where they put them. I think they are misplaced and should be higher up, Yard says they are fine and don't want to move them. All the boat stands are on blacktop so pretty stable.
Any issues/concerns? Would you insist that they be moved?

Catalina 34s Parts & Pieces For Sale or Wanted / Re: Canvas Winter Cover
Last post by pbyrne - May 26, 2024, 07:20:54 AMQuote from: Whidbey Tyson on September 14, 2023, 07:23:49 AMIf anyone is still looking for a winter cover I have one new in the box I bought last year from Ship Shape Products. It is for an open transom, has a storage bag and 400' polyester line. I paid $2489.37 and have the invoice and instructional email with attachments. I did not purchase the optional sandbags.
Is Ship Shape Products who made the original blue, no frame, sandbanged cover?

Last post by KWKloeber - May 26, 2024, 12:20:47 AMHey Alex

ND discusses the lighting in those threads. He had pics somewhere of the boat when he gutted it before refitting the interior and converting the traditional saloon to the dinette layout.
He fabricated the fiberglass wire channel for his puck lights because as you probably know the 70s had the wiring buried in the fiberglass deck (what could possibly go wrong with that?)
The pics were his original halogen puck lights but he's since LED'd the lighting.
Questions? The last emails I have are:
