I think you are on to something there...looks like that foam stuff....but why??? The surveyor should be looking with-in the next few days. I will post what he finds. Thanks again..

I am having a surveyor look at the damage and do a survey if he decides the damage is not structual and can be repaired. And I will make sure he checks the bottom. I was hoping some other Catalina 34 owner may have seen this problem and know what caused it. Thanks for the responses..Susan

Aloha,
I am looking to purchase a Catalina 34, tall rig 1996. There is damage to the top of the compression post. If this structual? Easy fix? I will attach a pic if anyone knows what this is from and if it is a major problem. My agent took this pic and I have yet to see the vessel...Thank you..

You can get a manual sprinkler timer at any sprinkler shop that will shut off after so many gallons (50-300) or so many minuets (30-300)for about $12.00..install it at the faucet....just change it every 6 months as they can collect grunge from the water...

hi...did she sale? couldn't find her at that brokerage...please let me know as i am looking for a 34'..thanks

Thank you Michael for the compliments. I will definately stay connected to this board..too much of a habit to break now. I have loved Rons salutation and hope he continues. Still waiting for that "one" buyer...Mahalo, Susan

You guys make things so easy! Thanks to all of you. I did think of sailing her back but I'm ready to be a land peson after 20+ years sailing and living aboard. It's a very happy move..now if my boat would just sell! Mahalo, Susan

Thanks Ron and Stu. Aqua Signal it is. I will now search for bulbs.
Now do I need to get a pop riviter? and what size rivits??
Susan
Did I mention my boat Allegro, is on the market? Go to  www.rainbowyachts.com to see her.
I want to move to Ca where my Son and grandkids are...Tell your friends it's an excellent example of an great boat and at a good asking price.(considering all offers). All the necessary upgrades were done by the PO and I have kept her up to the high standards this board demands.
Mahalo.   

Aloha, Does anyone happen to know what light bulb is use in the masthead steaming light on a 1987 regular mast. I will attach a pic. Obvious reason is I am paying someone to climb and would like him to only climb once! Thanks

Thanks for your concern guys. We motored out for about an hour at 1Am and bounced around till about 5 and returned. The harbor was still having 1-2 foot tide surges but no damage . The LaMarianna piers broke loose and about 50 boats escaped into to the Keehi Harbor...no reports of injuries yet. It was a very long night but safe home. I send my good thoughts to all those in Japan.

What a handsome cat!! My cats must have been landlubbers...he looks right at home. Cat PFD's are same as dog...don't think he would like one though.

They aren't a nimble footed as believed, so Smokey should have a PFD...and my cats always got sick (in stern berth where hiding) everytime I went out. Other than that they are great companions on a boat.

I put Lexan in a copper mirror color as replacement panels (see bad pics below) ...now I think it's too dark even tho it reflects light.
I really like to wood you guys did but think next time I would go for Cream color to match the interior gel coat for a lighter look and easier to keep clean looking.

Morning Ron,..Yes, they do have hinges you can buy. The problem is getting the old ones off. In order to do that you must remove a pin...which on my boat won't come out as it hits the bolt that holds the port to the cabin. In order to access the nuts  to these bolts you must take off the trim on the outside of the port.
This is becoming much too complicated and I will just use the bamboo.
Thanks for your input Ron, mahalo

Ron...I got what your saying but I am still reluctant to undo the screws in the cabin in order to get to the pin that needs to come out to replace the part. I may just live with using bamboo bbq sticks to hold them up...looks okay and works. Thanks...
