Engine Coolant in the Bildge

This is my first winter and I have a good heater. My bildges under my engine were dry a short time ago, I now have Engine Coolant in my bildges. I don't see any signs of where the leadage could have come from. Is this like a virus, once you hear about it, you get it? If it is not the cold, how about...

Anti-siphon Kit Install

Sam, I installed more to the port side. (You need to make sure you don't impair the opening of the engine inspection shelf.) I wanted the hoses to run down the port side of the engine as opposed to the top. Some people do have problems being off center, my Admiral didn't get a vote on this one! Shou...

Anti-Siphon Installed

I installed the Anti-Siphon Kit this weekend. The instructions provided by Catalina were very good and the time estimates were accurate also. I cut the (4) holes with the one hole saw provided as instructed. In hindsite, I wish I would have used a smaller holesaw for the 3/8 holes, less filling in w...

Anti Siphon Kit

My Anti siphon kit arrived yesterday! I have reviewed the installation documentation and the parts and I feel it is a "Can Do Myself Project". I feel Catalina did a great job in making the documentation easy to understand.

Genset sizing

I have received a response from Cruisair as to the minimum electrical requirement to run the 16,000 BTU A/C-Reverse Heat unit. "Normal running requires 15 amps or 1800 watts but to start the unit is a 45 amps or 5175 watts requirement. This start up current is for only 300-500 milli-seconds.&qu...

Crusing RPM

Now that I have broken in my new C350, I am not sure what RPMs I should be running at for cruising (6-10 hours of run time). I am still changing the RPMs about each hour within the 2400 to 2700 range. What are you veterans running and are you leaving them constant?

They say this has been reported, they have researched and cannot duplicate the problem in their lab. They are asking us to supply them with any information that...

I agree with all the earlier comments about the C350. She is a great boat to own and we are really enjoying her. Someone mentioned the scarred shin from exiting the cabin, we all have that scare. I have placed insulation along the molding and it has decreased my cuts. All in all, I am very pleased w...
