Latest revision as of 00:13, 20 June 2024
The Catalina 34 has had at least three different engines. The
- M-25, a 3-cyl, 21 hp engine, was installed on the the early models.
- M-25XP (3-cyl, 23 hp) became standard in 1988.
- M-30, 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).

M-25/XP/XPA; 35/A; early M-25XPB (to March 1998) use these 38mm diameter thermostats: 160*F - Universal p/n 301358 or Kubota p/n 1E399-73010 (replaces 19203-73014, 19203-73013, 19203-73010.) 180*F - Kubota p/n 15531-73014 (replaces 15531-73013, 15531-73011.) 38mm Gasket - Universal p/n or Kubota p/n 16851-73270 (replaces 15676-73270, 15531-73270, 15676-73272.) Later M25-XPBs (after March 1998) 44mm 160* F thermostat Universal p/n 201001 or Kubota p/n 19434-73014 (replaces 19434-73010, 19434-73013) 44mm Gasket - Universal p/n 298843 or Kubota p/n ?
- Recent update: THERMOSTAT BYPASS HOLE See Service Bulletin #107, Kubota Tstats likely won’t have a bypass hole, so drill a 1/8” hole, or two, thru the inside edge of its flange so that there is a constant coolant flow thru the exhaust manifold when the Tstat is closed.
