Main Message Board / Re: Catalina 34 MK II Compression Block Repair or Replace

« on: Yesterday at 06:22:21 PM »

Since you're going to do glass work go ahead and drill into the block and see what you have. My boat was rotted and had to repair. https://c34.org/bbs/index.php/topic,9208.msg67300.html#msg67300

I also would have a mutiny on my hands. The 34 is quite possibly the perfect size boat, my point was I just want the hull of a 25

Who doesn't want a bigger boat.
We all suffer from two foot envy.
Oh the extra room.
Two heads.
 But then reality sets in for those of us in the north.
Paint the bottom, buff the side,and then wax them
Boy a Catalina 25 is sure looking good right now.

Just saying

Hope this helps with placement of hole.
The three bolt holes you see in the second picture are the rear pulpit front stanchion mount.
Your bolts are about 6 inches in front.

Had the same thing happen to me.
Had to order the spacer as the threads are not all the way down.
Hull thickness is right at the point you may or may not need the spacer.

I needed to reach the water fitting in the same area.
I just cut a round hole in the ceiling and closed off with a small port.

Did the twin disk install on my boat.
Yes I had to trim the port stringer but was not a big deal.
You cod do the install without trimming if your comfortable with your shifter being reversed I believe.
If you are interested reach out to me and we can talk.

Main Message Board / A/C install

« on: May 02, 2022, 08:07:47 AM »

Got the A/C installed and now I can retire
Went with Flagship Marine because I wanted heat without using a heat pump.
It has resistive heat so I can have heat on the hard which the boat spends half the year on. 
Put it in the hanging locker by the chart table and used the macerator through hull as being on the great lakes
no overboard discharge.
Splashed boat in the snow 1 inch on the deck and got the boat up to 70 degrees.
Next weekend it was 85 degrees and had the boat down to 68 degrees.
It seems like a nice unit and it contains no printed circuit boards so will be easier to maintain.
have a great season all

Pulled the boat today that nasty white stuff is just around the corner.
What to spend the time before that to install my a/c unit.
Hope all you warm weather sailors enjoy your extended season.

I put a twin disk in and am very happy with the way it works. Did a write up of what it entails.
