Thanks Stu, Ron and Ken. The info and pics are great to get me going in the right direction!

Yes - photos of windlass setups would be great. I don't need the whole plans, just need to know some options so that I can shop around for a couple of different windlass models and get the best fit and function for the best cost. So if anyone can send a couple of photos of their windlass installations in the anchor well that would be great. A picture from down below would really help as well. Also, if you could include the type of windlass that is installed.
You can post here or send to me at davedawe@netscape.net

Thanks!!

Thanks Stu
I did read Ron's description of that installation. It appears though that the double anchor well with double doors in his boat is a different configuration than the single well of the '91 and so I am searching out an installation in a similar well.

I am wanting to install a windlass on my 1991 #1159. I have read a number of posts on installing on the deck. I would like to install in the anchor well (single well), since it seems like it is designed to handle one. I contacted Catalina and received plans using a windlass with a right angle drive. Those seem to be more expensive and so I am wondering if anyone has installed either a standard horizontal or vertical windlass in the single anchor well?
Thanks

Yes - thanks - I believe it is an autostream!! This helps a lot!!!

Dave

Thanks for the suggestions and help! I'll keep investigating.

I am trying to find out what kind of propeller I have on my 1991 C34. Picture below. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave

Thanks! I have attached a picture of the prop with an arrow and circle around the hub that has the bit of "play" in it.
So if you have thoughts on - the type of prop and if there should be any play at all in that hub. When I grab it and twist up and down, the hub moves a bit, but the sahft a nd everything else stays firm.

Yes, I tried to insert an image into my posting but I couldn't make it work. Just came up with the words "img" [img]img]. Guess I need to figure that out too. I could send one by email if you send and address. I am at davedawe@netscape.net
Thanks!!
 

Hi folks
I am a new owner of a 1991 C34. It has a 3 blade feathering prop and this prop has a bit of "play" at the hub of the prop on the shaft. I am not sure what kind it is. On the spec sheet it just says feathering prop. The previous owner said it came as an option when purchased new. Anyone else out there have a feathering prop from taht vintage? Any thoughts on the "play" or the type of prop it may be so I can investigate further?
Thanks,
Dave
