Lake Michigan / Re: Lake Michigan C 34's
September 29, 2017, 09:32:04 AM
We are in South Haven at River Noir YC and there are 2 other C34s in our marina.

Back in the late 70's I was at Georgetown Yacht Basin on the Sasafras River, this is north of Rock Hall, they had both floating docks and moorings.  Google maps still shows them there.

Check with the new marina, I sailed out of Kent Narrows for 20 years and found most marinas charged for 'bunking' so I purchased my own jack stands and still use them on my other boat ( which is for sale ).

Main Message Board / Replacing bulbs in cabin lights
December 30, 2012, 08:19:49 AM
I would like to replace the bulbs in the cabin light fixtures, the sliders, and I have not been able to get them opened.  I did not want to force them and break the lense.  What am I missing, or where can I find info to show me how to disassemble the fixture?

Main Message Board / Re: CNG Tank & Refill Question
September 15, 2012, 09:58:56 AM
I know this is an old topic, but I feel I should share with all my sucess. We are in SW Michigan and a local marina charges $69 for an exchange of CNG. We located a CNG filling station and decided to make the adaptor from the wiki. We filled our tank yesterday for the first time and the cost was $2.06. Thanks to all.  Tom

Thanks to all that responded, I started over again and found that the key had slipped back when installing the impeller, I installed a new impeller and reassembled the pump and I now have water folw.  Thanks again.

OK guys it's the weelend and I decided to try again, I replaced the raw water strainer since I didn't trust the gasket, I opened up the pump (Sherwood ) and replaced the paper gasket, I filled the hose and opened the sea cock, still no water out the exhaust.  Now what?

The face plate is smoooth, I closed the seacock and removed the intake line from the pump, it did not talk much water to fill the line, opened the seacock still no water flow.

I just installed a new impeller and gasket and I'm not drawing any water.  I blew both intake and out lines clear, no debris in either one, cleaned intake strainer, intake strainer is full of water. Any suggestions?

I am a new owner of a c34 and would like to add a domestic water hookup from the dockside water. Does anyone have experience in making this conversion?
