Am good till Spring and will wait

Thanks

Wow - this is timely. Tranquil is 10 years old this year and the bellows have never been changed, so I plan to do so this fall.

Is there additional information? Located elsewhere on the site?

Thanks

Teri

Thanks to all for the great information in this blog.

Does anyone know the shaft diameter on the 350's? I need to order the maintenance kit and nothing came with Hull #187 regarding PSS.

Thanks

Fat Cat did a great upgrade and, fortunately, my sprayer head broke off in a manner that only required a new sprayer head and gasket. Found a match at Defender, Item # 503338 SCANDVIK Replacement sprayer handle 14023 $34.99 Scandvik Replacement Sprayer Handle Designed for Models 10626, 10880 and 108...

Thanks Lulu and Avalon! I have placed an order for the kit - seems to be the only way to get the valve. Am guessing the fun begins once the kit arrives and the fix begins!

Happy Sails To You!

Russ Thanks so much!!! They did not have it, but referred me to 2 firms that might. One of those does not, but will see about the other. The WC/Thetford/whatever the other name is company did not know if the joker valve would be included in the $185 kit and are checking on it. Did you get your kit f...

Wow-what a deal! Chicago - style strategies at the company that purchased Wilcox Crittenden! After snowing here last week, its warm enough to prepare the boat for launch and, similar to many owners, the Joker Valve needs replacement. A $6.85 part. Company that bought Wilcox no longer sells parts - o...

Again - thanks! Anti-gel is now on my list.

Teri

Awesome information all in one place! Thanks to all - this is valuable information! A couple of questions: Does anti-gel = "Store and Start" type products? Transmission - ? The engine manual states to fill the trans case for the winter and then syphon out to the appropriate level before us...

How the simple things in life make a big difference!

Thanks for all the information - I just got her lifted and can work on it over the winter.

Wishing all a great season and safe sailing!

Duncan, thanks for the information! Backing in will most likely never be an option for me, and I've spent countless $ on clip on to the lifeline cord holders that dont work, as well as expensive holders that mount on the stanchions, which I currently use. Not a great visual and mostly holds away fro...

Triumph

Do you have any left for sale? If so, what size, color and price?

Thanks

I became the owner of hull #187 a couple of years ago and found your blog extremely helpful

Thanks !

If this were the golf cart batte...

Good luck!

Brett and Ayn Thanks so much! I've been running every weekend with getting the boat across, lifted and winterized. I've got one more trip back and forth so this comes in very handy-perfect timing!!! I did not want to leave it all winter and have to start over with researching in the spring, so I rea...

I could not agree more! You've both helped me out and I appreciate it. And your patience with this female boat owner providing less than apt descriptions in the technical department

Model # for C Charger on Hull #187 is 93-12305-E-B I spoke with Charles Industries about the charger and he said: the model is 9-10 years old, hence no manual. Catalina must have had them around for a while, but a very good charger. Is called "lead acid charger" and is the same as the 2000...

Thank you Brett and Ralph

Anyone have the part number for the 350 breakers? When I looked on Catalina direct they did not carry one that looks similar and of correct size.

Teri

when I return to the boat, I find the battery charger switch/breaker (on the left hand side of the panel) has been tripped, causing the House Battery 1 to drain completely from running refrigeration alone without the charger support. I've had to toss out lots of $ in moldy and rancid food every week...
