bracket replacement... 

Thank you for this link! Bought! 

Thanks Kevin, that is pretty much what I had in mind.

That was my thinking-I'm happy with the dodger overall-I'll probably add an add-on canopy for the rear, while at dock or anchor.

Thanks guys.

I've driven past Canvas Services 2,000 times, just don't know anyone who has used them.

Any fellow SD'ers have canvas shop recommendations? Time for dodger to be redone...

Truthfully, that slip doesn't look bad at all. I'd trade my slip for that in a heartbeat-I'm much tighter at SDYC.

I'm certainly kidding, heck I felt bad it took the reminder letter to get me to do it.

Why have I never thought of using a Dremel to cut old hoses off? So much easier than a knife, particularly when working in an awkward situation. Thanks for the idea!

Those siphons are awesome- I used to use one to fill the wing tank on my first Ultralight.

Well, darn-I just re-upped my membership a week or two ago...

Thanks for relating the info. I dealt with Dennis on parts when it was still Seaward, he seemslikeca good guy, and knew their products well.

Thanks to Nelson, C36 skipper

Many, if not all, of our boats are equipped with engine panels, electrical panels and water heaters that were made by Seaward, a long-time supplier to Catalina.

Seaward, based in Whittier, California, is now part of Whale Seaward, based in New Hampshire. The new company no longer sells its panels and parts to individual customers, being focused on the wholesale trade.

But I was pleased to learn that many of the Seaward replacement parts are still available from Dennis Igarashi, a former Seaward employee, who operates at the old Seaward site in Whittier. Dennis has access to a large selection of panels and parts. He was able to supply me with replacement push-on/push-off breakers for the A/C side of my main panel. He is extremely helpful, and I recommend contacting him if you have questions.

His phone is 626-374-6422
His email address is: digarashi@earthlink.net

Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for the heads up Ralph, I need to check mine.

My late & beloved Chocolate lab Kai did the same thing last year-slipped going from the dock step onto the boat. I guess my adrenaline kicked in, as I grabbed him by the shoulders and caught him in mid-air. As he was 95lbs, it wasn't good on my back. After that, I always sat on the dock step and guided him on the boat.

At the end of the day, he never did adapt to the boat well-too late in life, I suppose. We did get a nice life jacket for him to wear on board, with a good handle at the spine-my thought was I could hoist him up be that, if needed. In retrospect, it should have been mandatory attire for the docks too. I surely miss that old guy.
