Main Message Board / Shipwright Battery Charger
May 28, 2011, 06:16:40 PM
I went down to the boat after work today....the first sunny warm day in a long while.  So I reached into the fridge to grab a cold beer...only to find a warm beer.

Further investigation revealed that my battery charger appeared to have stopped working.

I have a Shipwright 50 charger...after doing a quick preliminary internet search I have discovered that these units may be outdated.

Does anyone else have this unit or have any advice on troubleshooting?

If a repair is out of the question, can you reccommend a replacement charger ?

Thanks

Main Message Board / Bottom Paint
March 20, 2011, 04:06:33 PM
Spring time is looming and it will soon be time to roll on some new anti-fouling paint and splash the boat.

I have a few 1 inch spots on the bottom of my hull where the bottom paint is uneven.  Any suggestions on how to even out the layers without having to blast the entire bottom?

Main Message Board / Dinette Table
January 11, 2011, 04:32:07 PM
I was at the Toronto Boat show this weekend looking at the new boats and dreaming of warmer weather (it's blowing snow right now and we're expecting 5 to 10 cm tonight).

I was aboard the C35.5 and I was looking at the dinette table that they have installed in the newer models these days.  It's a square table and the four corners fold in and sit on top of the table to form a cocktail table and of course unfold to form your full table.  (You can see the table on the Catalina web site)

So I started thinking that, that table would be a nice upgrade for my 1989 C34.  But as the day went on I started to think (ok, my better-half started thinking) and we realized that out mast that is keel stepped would probably interfere with one of the corners and not allow it to unfold completely.

I would actually have to start doing some measuring to confirm this, but I thought I would throw it out there and see if anyone else has examined this possibility.

Thanks!

Main Message Board / Water Pump Impeller
September 16, 2010, 02:22:09 PM
I'm trying to get a replacement impeller for my Universal M25 XP motor and the local dealer only has Jabsco impellers.  I have the oberdorfer pump and impeller and know those part numbers, but I haven't been having any luck with cross referencing the two.  I didn't think it would be that hard.  The dealer couldn't do it and I've called around a few places, but still the result is the same.

The Jabsco web site has a step by step process if you know all the dimensions, but I don't have that info readily available.

Thanks,
