Ron's right as usual.  Make a template from your own boat.  I tried duplicating my doors for another 34.  It was a colossal waste of time.

If Catalina says it's due to the "tolerances" when the deck and hull are joined together, then it seems to me there is something out between the hull and deck and to compensate and keep the rudder amidships, they had to drill the hole off center.  If that's the case, then you might be able to confirm what they are saying by seeing if the mating of the hull and deck are off, or something "out of place" that would require them to make this compensation.  These tolerances they refer to do seem extremely wide!!

Allowable"Tolerances" in aircraft are .00  I think what the Catalina guy meant was  Allowaable "tolerances in their boats are measured in fractions of feet.

Anyone traveling north who needs a stopover 40 ft slip in md can use mine.  it's paid for. 

I'm having the same issues.  Thanks for the info Jon.

As an aside, I think I will be moving my Mic to the coaming box where it will be out of the sun.

I'm allowed to work on my boat but they won't be putting it in the water.   I'm lucky enough to own another sail boat and and assorted power boats I can launch myself. 

First world problems..... solved.

Marinas are required transportation and are allowed to stay open.

He should move to Maryland.  We did away with winter and hard water.   VIVA CLIMATE CHANGE

I don't know what it's called but it passed the a very stringent building inspectors scrutiny in a house I recently designed.  ( I think it's PEX-A)

There's a softer version of the pex standard stuff and easier to deal with.

10.5' rib.  Garhaurer davits.  Love em. stored in front of the mast for years.  Now in the water in 2 minutes.  Raised, the tender is above the deck.  Does limit the view astern.  Dont know how I did with out.

Ken,  could you post a few pictures of your installation?

Lazybone,

I'm not nonchalant about the storage of any type of fuel on or off the boat and I certainly wouldn't store it in a vented gas can or a glass jar or old paint can for that matter. I use a portable 6 gal gas tank for the dingy designed exclusively for that purpose. While it does have a vent when in use it can be closed forming a vapor tight seal for storage.

Problem solved. No worries. Carry on.

I have that one too, but it's not deep enough to reach the nuts without "bottoming out" on my keel bolts. Use whatever works for you...

Worked on mine?

I'm curious about the parts that need "machining"?  Could you tell us what parts in the rebuild kit don't fit?

I'm a bit surprised about the nonchalant attitude re storing vented gas cans inside the boat. 

Braver than me.
