Catalina 350 International Association

I 'm looking for marinas in the St Petersburg area. If I have my boat transported ther they will need to have a Travellift and haulout services. Any recomendations.

I have been thinking about bringing my boat to Florida from Ohio. I checked into insurance and found that there is a wind exclussion in the policy. Is this common in Florida?

I just noticed that I have cracking in the jelcoat around my anchor cleat. Has anyone else experienced this. Does anyone know if there is an aluminum plate behind the cleat.

Acouple of years ago there was a post about a shore power inlet that melted down. I have the same problem and assume that it might be caused by the airconditioner. I am going to replace the inlet but thought it might be a good time to install another inlet for the AC. Has anyone done this and how di...

Does anyone know if the cabin top winch can be converted to a power winch without installing a new winch.

Has anyone replaced their hatch covers? Mine have all crazed and I would like to replace them. Any ideas on the amount of difficulty and where to order. The hatches are Lewmar, hopefully they are similar to other 350

Has anyone replaced the caulking in the shower and the head area, if so , what caulk did you use or per haps what caulk Catalina uses.

More than likely ,if you have the original alternator, it is an N type with a built in regulator. Most of the newer after market alternators are externally regulated and are P types

Thanks Bill, this was great information and wll explained. I hope I don't need to do it but if the problem arises I am prepared.
I'm tired just reading your explaination.

I replaced mine with a brass check valve, I'm not sure if there was a plastic one available at the time. I don't think it matters much. West Marine had a check valve in stock so I bought it.

Frank

Check near your bilge pump.It should be on the hose running to the overboard discharge. Mine was a brass check valve that I replaced last summer.

Ken,

I usually call Waren Pandy in Florida, but I think most of the parts come from California if he does not have them in stock.

OK, I've just received my new Sherwood pump and would like a little advice on the install. I still have more than a month before I can get into the boat but with the weather lately I starting to think about it. I thought I read somewhere that the engine had to be started to line up the pump, is this...

Ralph,

Good thing you ordered your stanchion now because last year it took three and a half months to get it. Stay on top of Warren Pandy or you may not half it by July.

Take care and good luck.

Ralph, I have had to replace my gate stanchions the last two years. There are two screws on the deck and a nut and washer underneath. If it is a middle stanchion than it will be easier. I purchased a set of short box wrenches for the project because there is very little room to work. You can remove ...

Just a note to let you know that Seaward Products replaced the LED at no charge eventhough the panel was out of warranty.

I need to replace the Red LED for the propane solenoid on my electric panel. Anyone know where to buy the LED and it appears that the LED was epoxied in. Any help?

I'm in the process of installing a new alternator and the manufacturer recommends replacing the belt with a higher quality belt. Does anyone happen to know the size of the belt on the 35B

I had a TV mounted on the forward bulkhead when I purchased my previously owned 350. It has very hard to watch the TV when sitting in the saloon, especially when siting on the starboard side and the port side was very uncomfortable because you had to sit with your back against the nav station.
