Re: Hot Water supply to galley faucet

I'm going to answer my own question. It is 1/2 in NPT.

Now I am trying to determine whether the hose is standard 1/2 Pex or some other size?

Re: Hot Water supply to galley faucet

Hi John,

From your neighbor to the south. I am trying to add a Tee in the water supply to support a compression fitting for a filtered water spigot.

Do you know what kind of thread is on the supply lines?

Re: Full service Marinas on Puget Sound

I did some research, talked to a sailor in Seattle area and called around. Here is what I learned. Many of the Ari as have the ability to take put your boat in or take it out of the water but use sub-contractors to service it. I.E. you are on your own to enlist their services. I did locate a full se...

Full service Marinas on Puget Sound

Hi, I am going to be moving my C350 to Everett Marina near Seattle. Does anyone have any experience getting a boat commissioned at the Port of Everett? It appears that there is not a single full service boat yard in Everett, but rather a series of vendors that it is up to the boat owner to coordinat...

Re: Using Dinette Table as a Platform for an Aerobed

That sounds perfect. Especially as I was trying to decide whether to stop in Kenosha to say hi to some of my college friends. This would "seal the decision".

I would like to talk directly with you. let me see how I can direct message you.

Using Dinette Table as a Platform for an Aerobed

Has anyone figured out how to use the C350 dining table (the large table) as a platform for an aerobed. We are taking a two month rip around Lake Michigan and would like to use that area for an Aerobed.

Place to stow your manuals

Has anyone come up with a good place to stow hard copy manuals?

Even though i am a computer professional and I know how to store them on my iPad. I like hard copies in case my iPad doesn't work.

I just can't seem to find the right type of box and location to stow them.

Re: Are boats covered in Washington state?

Thanks Geoff.

Do you have any recommendations on bottom paint for the brackish water?

I plan to keep it in Everett and casual racing. The marine company here is recommending Micron CSC. It will be in Lake Michigan for another year or two.

Bottom Paint for Puget sound

We will be moving our C350 "Peen Honin" to Everett, Wa. From Waukegan on Lake Michigan. Here in the Mid West we pull the boats out of the water every winter. In Washington, it appears that the boats stay in the water over the winter. Which leads me to my question. what type of bottom paint...

Thanks for the prompt and thorough replies. As a Lake Michigan sailor, we don't run into Fog that much, but it is THE reason to get Radar.

Merits of radar

Hi fellow C350 sailors, I am replacing the legacy C80, Smartpilot S1 setup with Axiom+, EV2 chart plotter. This makes my analog radar unit obsolete and I have a decision to make. This is a new boat to me and I sail on Lake Michigan and will be sailing on Puget Sound in the future. With todays techno...

Raymarine EV-1 location - ACU200 Course Computer

I am planning to install a ACU Course Computer. As part of the install I have to install an EV-1 compass. Has anyone else installed the EV-1 or other compass for an auto pilot and where did you locate it.

Hi, I currently live in the Chicago area and am trying to decide whether to invest in a canvas cover as we will be moving the boat to the Seattle area. As I understand it, most owners leave their boats in the water over the winter? If so are they typically covered or left out in the open as it doesn...

Hi we have a 2008 Catalina 350 hull 485. It has a in-mast furling system. Has anyone connected a mast padeye or T track based spinnaker slider to the mast? The shape of the mast is hard to match from the looks of what is on the Internet. Anyone figure out how to attach the whisker pole to the mast? ...
