Ahoy, Reposting...maybe some new viewers. Need some help w my Harken 40 electric winch. One day the winch began spinning spontaneously...no idea how long; I opened the circuit breaker to stop it. Noticed what appeared to be gear oil in the galley. Now I need to find out how to refill the gear oil. N...

Hi All.

Looking to patch some dings in my white gel coat. Looking at Spectrum gel coat paste repair kits...lots of choices.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Found out the RAM connections are not universal.

Hi Folks,

Planning to replace my fixed VHF w a different brand...ICOM to Standard Horizin.

Anybody know if the RAM connection is universal or manf specific?

Thanks.

Late, late, late reply. Actually found the valve last fall, but didn't log it.

Finally found the anti-siphon valve; it's located in the starboard cockpit locker.

Cleaned the cap...it was stuck a bit.

All is well.

Thanks to everybody who helped.

Hi Folks. Has anybody relocated the raw water strainer to someplace more convenient to inspect? I'm thinking in the forward engine compartment, port side. It's easier to lift the hatch below the steps. How about installing a bigger one? My Cat 34 had a much larger one. Any insight appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, Bob Engelhart here, SV Andiamo #464, Punta Gorda, FL.

Same concern as you...difficult to inspect the strainer under the mattress.

Did you relocate and reroute the strainer and hose?

Hi,

Bob Engelhart here, SV Andiamo # 464 in Punta Gorda FL.

Just glue gunned some insulation inside my reefer...door & hatches...metal coated roll available in HD, Lowes. etc.

No more condensation, haven't checked my cycling time yet.

Hi All,

Anybody have a source for the Al extrusion for the rub rail?

Thanks.

Thanks for the advice.

Maybe this week or next.

Hi,

Thought I had read somewhere recently that Westerbeke had change oil changes fir the M35B to 150 hrs instead of 100 hrs.

Have you heard/read about that?

Thanks.

Got it...you're probably right.

Thanks.

Hi Folks,

Has anybody installed a remote oil filter system on their Cat 350?

Comments?

Thanks.

Good luck to both new owners.

We bought Andiamo about a year ago, and still learning the her nuances.

I found that a folding prop (Gori 3-blade) really improved her sailing performance over the three-bladed fixed (barn door) one.

A sad day. Good luck skipper.

Hi Folks, Still a relatively new owner of hull #464, and trying to figure out my AC. It's working well, but don't know anything about it. It's all enclosed in a wooden 'box' in the cockpit locker, so can't see the actual AC. Don't know the brand, model, specs maintenance requirements or anything, an...

Hi Folks, Looks like my anchor light (bulb) has died. I'd like to replace the entire fixture w a sealed LED fixture; has anybody done this? What does Catalina use from the factory? I'm thinking maybe an Aqua Signal Series 34 and hoping that mounting lines up. Appreciate any insight. Thanks Bob Engel...

Thanks to all who responded and helped. All is good now...here's a summary. --Had my shore power cord plugged into a 15amp circuit...that's why it kept tripping; --Realized I did have a 30amp outlet at my dock, but had forgotten (it's adjacent to my lift controls and didn't check it out); --Once I h...

Ahoy Shipmates, Need some help. Hull #464, which I've owned for almost a year seems to have developed electrical gremlins. Here's the setup --Four Optima AGM 75AH batteries; 1125MCA, 900CCA, 155Reserve Capacity. All dated 5/12 --Duracell Ultra Group 24, 1000CA, 800 CCA --Xantrex Freedom Marine 25 In...

Hi everybody.

Anybody have batten dimensions?

Thanks.
