Hi
Thanks all, I contacted Catalina and was informed my Mast does weigh about 300lbs, I just purchased a 1987 MK I, with a Wing Keeled Stepped Mast. I will update my profile, the Hull # is 460. ( New Moon)
We purchased the boat in New Jersey, and had it shipped to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
The boat arrived last week, it is presently in a cradle with the Mast on Sawhorses and we are in the process of repairs and preparation.

Two items we are having difficulty with are changing the Cutlass bearing, and getting the Anchored light powered.
1. Is it possible to remove the Prop shaft without removing the rudder, we presently have the shaft freed from the engine( Saltwater is not friendly to boats) but are unable to remove the shaft past the rudder.
2. How is the Anchor light powered, there are two black wires going to the anchor light, but I am unable to power it, I was able to power the deck and steering light, and since I could not seemed to get power to the anchor I am uncertain of the problem.

It is fun and challenging all at the same time.

Thanks for your responses

Terry

Hi
Could somebody tell me where I can find the fully assembled Mast weight of a Catalina 34, I need to reinstall the Mast of our recently purchased C34 and our clubs crane can only handle 700lbs  maximum.

Thank You
Terry
