Have starboard stern rail for 1997 Catalina 34 MKII.  I understand it fits other Catalina's too.  Never installed.   $500
Free local pickup Bonneau, SC,  would have to look into shipping if needed.  dougcooke@msn.com

Hi,  I'm redoing a 97 MKII.  Decks have all been redone.  There is no sign of where the bimini  eye (pad) straps use to be.  Not sure where the coachroof or even if they went to the  sidedeck or stanchions.  Know that if it is the wrong place can interfere with mainsheet, boarding boat, moving around, etc.  Can anyone let me know where the padeyes for  a "stock" bimini are typically located?   Also the aft straps just attach to the stern rail, right? Thanks

Main Message Board / Exhaust thru-hull
October 27, 2010, 07:36:57 AM
Can anyone tell me where to get a new exhaust thru-hull for a 97 MKII?  The exhaust pipe interior diameter is 1 5/8.  The few I've found online (including Catalina Direct) have 3 holes in the flange to screw to the hull, but I'd like one that mounts like a normal thru-hull with an interior locking nut.  Thanks

Hi,  Does anyone have advice for removing the "newer" style deadlights (MKII  1997)?  I've looked on the site and FAQ but these post seem to be targeting deadlights/fixed ports that are bolted in place.  The new ones appear just sealed in place and I'm wondering if there is a trick to removing them (e.g. heat gun).  Thanks, Doug

In the - I hate to admit this but....

I took my propane compartment out of my 97 mkII many months ago.  Putting it back I can not find the two solenoid wires that I cut, to splice back too. 

Can anyone (with a similar vintage boat) tell me where the wires going from their propane tank's solenoid are ran/located? this would probably involve looking underneath the propane compartment,from the cockpit's starboard lazarette.

I thought they ran from the solenoid on the aft starboard side, beneath the cockpit, to the port side and then forward. No cut wires there.  But they might run forward along the starboard hull and then cross over somewhere below the interior cabin. if this is the case they could have gotten pulled into the plastic sleeve other wires run into.

Thanks for any help.

Hi, 

I need to replace the fixed deadlights on my 97 catalina.  Looking for advice on how to remove and if it is OK to replace with plexiglass (vs Lexan).  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,  Doug

I can not get my tank out.  I've read the numerous post and checked out pictures but no help. Thinking 97's may be different.?    The metal tank has two mounting brackets on the front, this prevents you from moving the tank forward by 2 inches (compared to fiberglass one I saw pictured).  I took my fuel hoses and coolant hose out of the compartment and that gave me an exta  1 1/2 inches forward but still no luck.  I've twisted and pried everyway could, even used a car jack to try to get some clearance.  No luck.  With the jack I can just get the very tip of the welded corner out.

Any suggestions?  Think I may have to cut fiberglass or somehow break off mounts.
