<div>General Maintenance Tips for the New Boat Owner<br />
<br />
We have owned our 1987 Catalina 34 MK 1 about a year. I thought it might be useful to share some of the things I’ve learned about my new-to-me boat. I’m fairly handy, and like to do my own work, but don’t consider myself an expert by any means, so please take these observations with a grain of salt (unless your boat is in fresh water…) and use them to clarify your own ideas.<br />
<br />
First Steps:<br />
1. Go for a sail. Sit at the dock/mooring with someone you love (or like a lot!). Don’t let the chores overwhelm you…enjoy the boat!<br />
2. Introduce yourself to the people at your new (?) dock. Congratulations! Become part of the marina’s community, most will be happy to help/advise if asked.<br />
3. Read the Critical Upgrades from the message board. Don’t worry; it’s not as bad as it sounds. Read them again a few more times. Print them out, as you complete step 3, cross out the ones that don’t apply. Explore the links that give you more background information. I took months doing this, and a year later I still spend a lot of time exploring this web site. I’ve learned about maintenance issues that I didn’t even know existed. Actually, I feel like I’ve made friends with people on this site. Not really what I would have expected.<br />
4. Clean the boat, top to bottom. Every inch, every cubby - especially the bilge and engine – inside and out, front to back, top to bottom. Relax and enjoy getting to know your boat. This is a labor of love!! Keep a notebook. Write down your 3 lists (must be done, should be done, could be done). This job takes several days (or more … I took a lot of breaks).<br />
5. Study the boat Survey – if you got one when you bought the boat. Hopefully you spent quality time with the surveyor while he/she did the survey. Study the Catalina 34 manual. Look for it on-line if you don’t have one. The link is on the home page of the Cat34 IA website. I joined the association because I found it so valuable and wanted to support its’ mission. It has certainly saved me money and time. Perhaps you might feel the same. Go to the manufacture’s websites for each of your boats systems. For example, <br />
<br />
Edson has a great page on the maintenance of your steering system. <br />
http://www.edsonmarine.com/support/techsupport.php<br />
<br />
Universal also has a great site – zincs, impellers filters, etc. http://www.marinedieseldirect.com/universal/200157/universal-owners-manual-caution-statements.html<br />
<br />
Study your new boat. Learn where each wire goes, and where each hose goes. Read all the tech wikis!!! <br />
<br />
6. Get a good maintenance list. Check this one out from the Catalina 380 International Association: http://www.catalina380.org/check_lists/check_list_page.htm<Br> <br />
I found it on the forum under on the maintenance schedule link (thanks, Kevin).<br />
<br />
Second Steps:<br />
1. Set up your maintenance log. Keep records of everything (including receipts).<br />
2. Prioritize your to-do lists. What needs to be done for safety? Put those items first. I made a mistake in putting the wiring harness upgrade down the list a bit. When I did the upgrade, I found two things: It was pretty easy to do, and the plug was partially melted and truly was a fire hazard! If you need that upgrade, I suggest you do it immediately. I didn’t need the upgrades for the alternator bracket or the traveler bolts. If I did, I’d do them right away also.<br />
<br />
Here is an example of what I found on my boat. This is stuff I felt that I had to do right away. Your list will certainly be different:<br />
<br />
1. Put cotter pins on shrouds (my boat was missing one on the starboard side)<br />
2. Change engine oil and transmission fluid.<br />
3. Replace Pencil Zinc in heat exchanger<br />
4. Clean and Paint engine (dirty engines hide problems!)<br />
5. Upgrade anchor system <br />
6. Install new shore power connector (it was heat discolored - bad sign)<br />
7. Wiring Harness Upgrade (next time this goes first)<br />
8. Re-rig topping lift (to cockpit)<br />
9. Grease steering quadrant<br />
10. New water pump impeller<br />
<br />
Next steps:<br />
<br />
1. Set up Maintenance Schedule. I’m doing that now. I’ll have a section for each outing: visual inspection of rig, engine, and engine oil level. Check that water is coming out the exhaust, feel how free the wheel is, and check for anything that is “off”. I’ll set up the monthly section: check through-hull fittings (open and close them) and hoses, bilge, battery water and charge, closer inspection of rig (standing and running) and engine, check alternator belt, clean any mold in interior, clean topsides, check running lights. Keep up with varnish. For my yearly list I’m heavily borrowing from the Cat380 list. I do my engine each winter, and varnish each spring. We have year-round sailing here in California.<br />
2. Set up a Project List. Here are some of mine:<br />
a. Lazy Jacks (done)<br />
b. Install a GPS Chart Plotter at the binnacle (done)<br />
c. Install an anchor windlass – (done)<br />
d. Work my way through all of the remaining Critical Upgrades (I am in the process of doing this: hoses, filters, etc.)<br />
e. Replace water pump (Really soon)<br />
f. Re-pack the packing gland. (Really soon)<br />
g. Cockpit rail seats (this summer?)<br />
h. Find a new home for the microwave oven, which is currently on the shelf above the port, hanging locker. (When I get to it)<br />
i. Install a diesel cabin heater (manana?)<br />
j. The list is sure to grow!<br />

<br />
Check the wikis in the maintenance section. They are very good!<br />
<br />
A few thoughts:<br />
<br />
One of the best ways to make friends with your engine is to wipe it down each month. Use a rag and just rub every inch of your engine, transmission and everything in the engine compartment. You’ll keep it clean, and become aware of changes that can warn you of impending doom – or smaller problems. Check your hoses, clamps, belt, linkages, loose things, etc. If you need to hire a mechanic, work it out so that he/she also teaches you. <br />
<br />
It is a good idea to use the inspection doors in the head and aft cabin to view the engine while it is running. Head: Does the fan belt show excessive slack or vibration? Is the alternator overheating? Oil leaking from the filter? Coolant leaks from the engine water pump or hoses? Under the sink is the racor filter bowl free of water/debris? Aft Cabin: Is the raw water pump leaking? Fuel leaks at the filter or injection components? Looking aft, is the packing gland leaking?<br />
<br />
For each job or project, check the wiki, notes and forums for procedures and ideas. Ask questions and participate in discussions. I do a lot of background research before I start a task, and it’s really helped me. I’ve taken US Power Squadron and Coast Guard Auxiliary courses. I’ve taken diesel classes and also many tutorials on the Internet (try US Sailing). I do my own maintenance because it’s cheaper, fun (it really is for me) and also because it makes for a safer vessel. When things break down (when, not if…) I will be in a better position to take appropriate actions if I know my boat systems. As captain, safety is my responsibility, and good maintenance is an important step towards good safety! Smooth sailing to you.</div>Ken Juulhttps://c34.org/wiki/index.php?title=1987&diff=354319872011-05-14T15:26:20Z<p>Ken Juul: </p>

<div>General Maintenance Tips for the New Boat Owner<br />
<br />
We have owned our 1987 Catalina 34 MK 1 about a year. I thought it might be useful to share some of the things I’ve learned about my new-to-me boat. I’m fairly handy, and like to do my own work, but don’t consider myself an expert by any means, so please take these observations with a grain of salt (unless your boat is in fresh water…) and use them to clarify your own ideas.<br />
<br />
First Steps:<br />
1. Go for a sail. Sit at the dock/mooring with someone you love (or like a lot!). Don’t let the chores overwhelm you…enjoy the boat!<br />
2. If you are at a new marina, introduce yourself to the people on your dock. Become part of the marina’s community, most will be happy to help/advise if asked.<br />
3. Read the Critical Upgrades from the message board. Don’t worry; it’s not as bad as it sounds. Read them again a few more times. As you read them, make a list, as you complete step 4, cross out the ones that don’t apply. Explore the links that give you more background information. I took months doing this, and a year later I still spend a lot of time exploring this web site. I’ve learned about maintenance issues that I didn’t even know existed. Actually, I feel like I’ve made friends with people on this site. Not really what I would have expected.<br />
4. Clean the boat, top to bottom. Every inch, every cubby - especially the bilge and engine – inside and out, front to back, top to bottom. Relax and enjoy getting to know your boat. This is a labor of love!! Keep a notebook. Write down your 3 lists (must be done, should be done, could be done). This job takes several days (or more … I took a lot of breaks).<br />
5. Study the boat Survey – if you got one when you bought the boat. Hopefully you spent quality time with the surveyor while he/she did the survey. Study the Catalina 34 manual. Look for it on-line if you don’t have one. The link is on the home page of the Cat34 IA website. I joined the association because I found it so valuable and wanted to support its’ mission. It has certainly saved me money and time. Perhaps you might feel the same. Go to the manufacture’s websites for each of your boats systems. For example, <br />
<br />
Edson has a great page on the maintenance of your steering system. <br />
http://www.edsonmarine.com/support/techsupport.php<br />
<br />
Universal also has a great site – zincs, impellers filters, etc. http://www.marinedieseldirect.com/universal/200157/universal-owners-manual-caution-statements.html<br />
<br />
Study your new boat. Learn where each wire goes, and where each hose goes. Read all the tech wikis!!! <br />
<br />
6. Get a good maintenance list. Check this one out from the Catalina 380 International Association: http://www.catalina380.org/check_lists/check_list_page.htm <br />
I found it on the forum under on the maintenance schedule link (thanks, Kevin).<br />
<br />
Second Steps:<br />
1. Set up your maintenance log. Keep records of everything (including receipts).<br />
2. Prioritize your to-do lists. What needs to be done for safety? Put those items first. I made a mistake in putting the wiring harness upgrade down the list a bit. When I did the upgrade, I found two things: It was pretty easy to do, and the plug was partially melted and truly was a fire hazard! If you need that upgrade, I suggest you do it immediately. I didn’t need the upgrades for the alternator bracket or the traveler bolts. If I did, I’d do them right away also.<br />
<br />
Here is an example of what I found on my boat. This is stuff I felt that I had to do right away. Your list will certainly be different:<br />
<br />
1. Put cotter pins on shrouds (my boat was missing one on the starboard side)<br />
2. Change engine oil and transmission fluid.<br />
3. Replace Pencil Zinc in heat exchanger<br />
4. Clean and Paint engine (dirty engines hide problems!)<br />
5. Upgrade anchor system <br />
6. Install new shore power connector (it was heat discolored - bad sign)<br />
7. Wiring Harness Upgrade (next time this goes first)<br />
8. Re-rig topping lift (to cockpit)<br />
9. Grease steering quadrant<br />
10. New water pump impeller<br />
<br />
Next steps:<br />
<br />
1. Set up Maintenance Schedule. I’m doing that now. I’ll have a section for each outing: visual inspection of rig, engine, and engine oil level. Check that water is coming out the exhaust, feel how free the wheel is, and check for anything that is “off”. I’ll set up the monthly section: check through-hull fittings (open and close them) and hoses, bilge, battery water and charge, closer inspection of rig (standing and running) and engine, check alternator belt, clean any mold in interior, clean topsides, check running lights. Keep up with varnish. For my yearly list I’m heavily borrowing from the Cat380 list. I do my engine each winter, and varnish each spring. We have year-round sailing here in California.<br />
2. Set up a Project List. Here are some of mine:<br />
a. Lazy Jacks (done)<br />
b. Install a GPS Chart Plotter at the binnacle (done)<br />
c. Install an anchor windlass – (done)<br />
d. Work my way through all of the remaining Critical Upgrades (I am in the process of doing this: hoses, filters, etc.)<br />
e. Replace water pump (Really soon)<br />
f. Re-pack the packing gland. (Really soon)<br />
g. Cockpit rail seats (this summer?)<br />
h. Find a new home for the microwave oven, which is currently on the shelf above the port, hanging locker. (When I get to it)<br />
i. Install a diesel cabin heater (manana?)<br />
j. The list is sure to grow!<br />

<br />
Check the wikis in the maintenance section. They are very good!<br />
<br />
A few thoughts:<br />
<br />
One of the best ways to make friends with your engine is to wipe it down each month. Use a rag and just rub every inch of your engine, transmission and everything in the engine compartment. You’ll keep it clean, and become aware of changes that can warn you of impending doom – or smaller problems. Check your hoses, clamps, belt, linkages, loose things, etc. If you need to hire a mechanic, work it out so that he/she also teaches you. <br />
<br />
It is a good idea to use the inspection doors in the head and aft cabin to view the engine while it is running. Head: Does the fan belt show excessive slack or vibration? Is the alternator overheating? Oil leaking from the filter? Coolant leaks from the engine water pump or hoses? Under the sink is the racor filter bowl free of water/debris? Aft Cabin: Is the raw water pump leaking? Fuel leaks at the filter or injection components? Looking aft, is the packing gland leaking? Use all your senses, any noises, vibrations or smells that aren’t normal?<br />
<br />
For each job or project, check the wiki, notes and forums for procedures and ideas. Ask questions and participate in discussions. I do a lot of background research before I start a task, and it’s really helped me. I’ve taken US Power Squadron and Coast Guard Auxiliary courses. I’ve taken diesel classes and also many tutorials on the Internet (try US Sailing). I do my own maintenance because it’s cheaper, fun (it really is for me) and also because it makes for a safer vessel. When things break down (when, not if…) I will be in a better position to take appropriate actions if I know my boat systems. As captain, safety is my responsibility, and good maintenance is an important step towards good safety! Smooth sailing to you.</div>Ken Juulhttps://c34.org/wiki/index.php?title=Catalina_34&diff=3541Catalina 342011-05-14T14:41:15Z<p>Ken Juul: </p>

Oberdorfer N202M-16 Raw Water Pump Conversion for M35A and B<br />
By Randy Sherwood and Nile Schneider<br />
<br />
Want to save a couple hundred bucks on your next raw water pump? Avoid future problems due to the Sherwood G908 having gone out of production? Easily change impellers from the front? With the Sherwood pump price now barking at the $500 mark, the Oberdorfer N202M-16 can return half that cash wad to your beer fund. It’s all bronze. And best of all, it offers easy front-plate access to the impeller. Although suppliers won’t confirm interchangeability, C36IA Members Nile Schneider and Randy Sherwood have done the pioneering for all of us. That means less money out of our pockets and less hassle with impeller changes. Talk about a great benefit of C36IA Membership!Randy sails S/V Mutual Fun, #1057, out of Whitehall, Michigan. He is well into a major cruise, but he’s taken time to share his Oberdorfer project with us.<br />
Here’s the Sherwood (no relation) pump that all we know, as installed on the M35A engine. <br />
<br />

Oberdorfer Installed on M35A [photo 04]<br />
<br />
<br />
Was that quick and easy, or what? But what about the M35B?<br />
Nile Schneider sails S/V Mañana, #1798, in Lake Champlain, Vermont. He says that after owning a Catalina 30 and so easily changing impellers from the front, he sufficiently fed up with the Sherwood to come up with this great Oberdorfer solution. <br />
Have a look at the Sherwood versus the Oberdorfer N202M-16, side by side here. Seems like they are as alike as apples and oranges, doesn’t it?<br />
<br />

Sherwood vs Oberdorfer N202M-16…Unmodified [photo 05]<br />
<br />
The M35B requires more extensive modifications to the Oberdorfer casting than the M35A does, plus another small mod to one of the 90 degree fittings that carry raw water to/from the pump. But these mods are readily do-able, and are well worth the savings in money and hassle.<br />
Let’s get the easy one out of the way first. Here’s the smallest of the mods that need to be done to accommodate the M35B. This is a slight clearance issue with the fittings.<br />
<br />
<br />

Fitting Clearance Issue on M35B [photo 06]<br />
<br />
<br />
This is an easy problem to solve by simple grinding a small amount of material from the fitting, as shown here.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The Oberdorfer casting for the M35B, however, needs considerably more surgery than on the M35A. Nile used a Sawzall to cut the bronze casting away, and then ground the edges for smoothness. Not a job for the Dremel, that’s for sure. <br />

<br />
Nile says that there are two ways to find where to add the lower right mounting hole.<br />
1) Get the appropriate cone point set screw (can find them on e-Bay). Grind two flats on the sides to get a wrench on it. Screw them into the screw holes in the engine with point sticking outward, slightly above the mounting surface. Mount the pump in place and tap it with a hammer to create a mark in the pump body to indicate where to drill the lower right hole. Or…<br />
2) Place a piece of paper over the diamond shaped mounting land on the engine and make a rubbing of the outline and the holes. For the rubbing, says Nile, “I carefully cut out the center hole and placed it over the boss on the pump, and used that as a guide for the bolt holes. I also used it for making the gasket.” He states that he would have preferred using the first method, but was too impatient to wait for the cone point set screws in the mail. Here’s the modified Oberdorfer with self-made gasket ready for installation on the M35B.<br />

<br />
Nile says that the new pump has been running fine, with over 30 hours of runtime. The engine temperature has not changed from the previous pump.<br />
The new Oberdorfer N202M-16 pump is now installed on the M35B…<br />

<div>''The Catalina 34 has had at least three different motors. The M25, a 21hp engine, was installed on the the early models. The M25XP (23 hp) became standard in 1988. The M30, a 4 cylinder producing 28hp, became an optional engine about the same time and is standard in the Mark II. All are produced under the Universal Motors brand (now Westerbeke Corporation). Due to lack of available supplies, the factory occasionally installed a Yanmar engine (note: Yanmars are higher-compression engines, which do not require glow plugs). ''<br />

<div>When the monochrome radar died I decided to upgrade to a color radar/chartplotter combination. The original radar was mounted at the Nav Station. I decided to mount the new chartplotter at the helm to make it more usable. I have a MK 1.5 with the narrow stern. I was concerned with upsetting the visual balance of the helm station by adding too much. I decided to leave the single bullet pods for the standard speed/depth/wind instruments and modified the pedistal guard to mount the chart plotter.<br />
[[Image:Boat 008.jpg]]<br />
<br />
I cut the the original hand hold and about 9" of vertical tube off. Plugged the ends with teak plugs. I added the angled tubes and welded the removed hand hold to the end of these tubes. The end result is a compact usable helm station that lost none of the features (table, hand hold, upper drink/junk holder) of the original set up.<br />
[[Image:Boat 006.jpg]]<br />
<br />
It was obvious from the size of the connectors and wiring that it would be difficult to run the wires through the pedistal guard. I ran the wires up the pedistal, (had to enlarge the hole in the mounting bracket to do this) and through a new opening just below the table height. They then run free to the back of the chartplotter.<br />

It was obvious from the size of the connectors and wiring that it would be difficult to run the wires through the pedistal guard.
