What brand mast do you have?
I would contact them for that information, OR give Warren Pandy at Catalina a call.

Re: ENGINE NOISE-DAMPER REPLACEMENT?
I am looking at purchasing a boat that has the vibration issue at low rpms. Goes away at about 1000rpm. The damper plate was replaced less than a year ago with one of the newer style units, but the problem persists. I'm guessing that motor mount replacement is next. How hard are those to replace? A...

Re: Ablative v. Hard paint bottom
Dave,
No one best paint.
Are you in:
Fresh water/salt water?
Warm water/cold water?
What area(s) do you sail?
The best paint for Lake Michigan will likely NOT be the best point for south Florida.

Re: connecting an inverter with 3 batteries
When wired this way, the electrons flow through each battery (as they should).
If you connect positive and negative to "other than end batteries", those not in the loop will neither get a charge as quickly nor provide as many amps on heavy draws.

Re: connecting an inverter with 3 batteries
To balance the load and/or charging, with two 12 VDC batteries in parallel, connect the positive to one battery and the negative to the OTHER BATTERY.
And, if indeed all three are on the same battery bank: positive to battery #1 and negative to battery #3.

Re: WooHoo! Just saw my first 350 in person
What I discovered this weekend was that I really want a traditional main but not at the expense of boat condition. Ya, a mixed bag on that one. Our 350 is the first sailboat we have had with furling main. All 8 of our sailboats previous to the 350 over the last 50 years had traditional mains. Like ...

Re: New Installation
I spoke to the tech at the Velair manufacturing plant and he assures me that it is fine to pull air from the lazarette side as long as the opening is as large as the intake on the unit. So, I'll just need to cut a hole to accept a grill. That is OK as long as your lazarette is as "sweet smelli...

Re: Leaking PYI shaft waterer inlet valve
I don't see a major issue in replacing the broken adapter with the boat in the water. Close its ball valve. Have a "plug" for the hose handy. Remove the hose from the adapter and plug. Replace the adapter and reattach hose-- cut enough the end of the hose so the adapter attaches to a "...

Re: 350 wing keel weight
Joe, Very likely you are underpropped. You are well over a knot slower than you should be. Pretty easy to tell. With engine warmed up, while moving (need to be moving so cavitation at WOT doesn't mislead you) go to WOT (Wide Open Throttle). If engine quickly goes to governed redline, you are under p...

Re: Fresh Water (Coolant) Impeller?
No need to "inspect" the engine coolant pump (driven by the belt). Yes, the raw water pump impeller does need inspection/replacement every couple of years unless high engine usage suggests more often. Do make sure the engine coolant pump is not leaking-- no different than on any vehicle. A...

Re: Idle RPM Vibration
Bill,
No sorry, I don't. Just pull them up to snug (to engine stringer). More on nut on top (appropriate for diameter of threads).

Re: Idle RPM Vibration
Yes, checking engine mount fastener torque should be done at oil change intervals. Engine mount to stringer and the top nut. If very loose, a good idea to re-check shaft (actually flange) alignment. Also, if you have a lot of unexplained dust in the engine room, may be time for a new dampener plate-...

Start by removing the aerator from the sink faucet. It may be clogged.

Re: Water pump under sink won’t pressurize
With water in the tank and the undersink valve on the tank you filled, open a faucet and turn on the pump. Much easier for the pump to prime with a faucet open.

Exactly what gasket/seal product did you use?
And, absolutely let us know if it reduces compressor run time.

Re: Transmission Fluid Level - 16oz, or 18.56oz ?
I have always used the dipstick, as it is unlikely that you will pump out every last drop of the old fluid. So, fill volume will change somewhat depending on what remains. Agree, it is hard to see on the dipstick. Run your finger down the dipstick until it gets wet to tell the level OR use a strong ...
