I have received the wrong zinc anode from my dealer (Universal #301068   1/2").   I need a zinc anode 3/8".  Can anybody provide me the correct code number for a Universal zinc anode?

This another option: a full teak cover installed in the Netherlands by my Dutch Catalina dealer.

Has anybody experience with mounting a Navpod for the chartplotter on the pedestal guard? I have to drill four small holes(fixing) and one larger hole(wiring).
I am afraid to hit the existing wiring from my other Raymarine instruments. Of course I can pull out all the wiring, but that is a terrible lot of extra work and I am trying to avoid that.

Thanks Ray, sorry for my late reaction. This weekend I shall mounted my GPS according to your advice.

Ray,

Is it possible that you give me more precisely the location of your drilling holes and the mounting position. Perhaps a photo or a sketch? It seems a very neat solution.

The arrow is my proposed Raystar position. But I have some problems with the wiring at the crossing (circled) of the pipes. Is the stern crossing blocked? Is the horizontal pipe uninterrupted?  I do not want to use zip ties.

I have just bought the Raymarine C70 with the Raystar 125. I have a few questions: What is the best location on the stern for the Raystar receiver?
And is there anybody who can give me a smart advice how to install the wiring easily through the RVS stern stanchion?

Thanks Roger and Jon for your quick respons. My problem has been solved.

Can anybody provide me the name of the supplier for this small rustless steel piece. (to lock the gasbun or the anchorhatch). Two has broken during a heavy sailing trip. I cannot find a supplier in the Netherlands which can deliver me a part which fits on a Catalina 34 MKII.

Thanks, Jon can you provide me the systemcode which I have to order? EZ - G ??

This is the genoa system I wrote about. Is there anybody who has installed such a system with Gerhauer parts? And if you have installed such a system, could you please sent me some pixs?

I am also planning to install next spring foot return blocs on my genoa sheets of my Cat 34 - 2006. Question: Is there anybody who can sent me some photos from an installed Garhauer set?

I have planned to buy (and to install) an autopilot this winter. I am doubting between the ST 4001 and the ST 6001. A few sailors strongly recommended the St 6001 (below-deck autopilot). I am thinking to buy the St 6001 (S1G System Pack with AST  Advanced Steering Technology).
I have two questions:
- Has anybody experience with the ST 6001 on a Catalina 34?
- Is this package easy to install?

I live also in the Netherlands and have a Catalina 34 mkII delivered in march 2006 (with a wing keel). Our Marina is in Zeeland with variated depths.
I must say I agree with Steve, my experience she performs well. I have no complaints with it and it is quite suited to the shallows. For your sailarea (IJsselmeer depth average 2-3 m; England, Belgium, France and the Scandinavian countries) a wing keel isn't necessary. But a wing keel expand your sail area in the Netherlands (Friesland, it is more convenient in Zeeland).  But to be honest we have no experience with a finkeel.
