1987 MK 1 Catalina 34 Salon Cabinets

By Jon Windt; Della Jean

NOTE - Before doing any projects, I highly recommend that you first go through the “Critical Upgrades” list and verify that your boat has all of the applicable items addressed. There is a link on the Message Board (copied here) entitled “CRITICAL UPGRADES – DO THESE OR ELSE!!!” that will take you to them. It is a good way to both learn your boat and make sure it is safe. Don’t put it off.

Salon Storage

I purchased my 1987 MK 1 Catalina 34, hull #493 in April 2015. Somewhere along the line one of the Previous Owners removed the sliding acrylic doors and the lower track from both the port and starboard lower shelves behind the settees. See Photos (1) and (2). When I go sailing, whatever is on the shelves ends up flying around the salon.
