Today is kind of a sad day for me. I sold half the fleet. The thing is the half I sold was the boat I built from scratch. Although we bought the C27 for a...
Has anyone installed a manual toilet with a vented loop in the discharge line from the toilet to the holding tank. The holding tank is located under the v...
This is interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing response. (Sorry, I'm no help though.) I need to do something about either plumbing the head or replacing...
Bruce, Maybe a bit of history would help...In the old days of overboard discharge, a vented loop that extended above the waterline was required to prevent a...
Me too, let me know what works. This is a common thread and I have not seen a fix anywhere yet. I am thinking about putting a home depot quality gate valve on...
We moved to the Thetford 855 "self contained" unit. It has an option for attaching a pump out and vent line. To date this has worked fine. THE holding tank is...
John, The vented loop should have a "floating ball" type valve at the top to prevent any liquid from escaping. On Sundance the top of the loop is just under...
Bob, Thanks for your reply. Do you have a product name for your "floating ball" type loop. also i'm not sure how you managed to extend the plumbing and the...
Hi All - I'm going to replace the gatevalve on the drain for my sink /cooler, and wanted to know what size seacock I should replace it with. I saw on Catalina...

Bruce, I've included a link to the Groco page, and to Defender.com for a Forespar model. These are different styles than mine, but they serve the same...

It's possible to do yourself if you have the right tools and photos to go by. I don't know of anywhere online maybe a google search, but at a minimum you...
I installed Sirius on my C27. I have it mounted on the stern rail, I find that when im heeling the signal gets very low and cuts in and out. If im on the hook...
Bob, I don't have any experience with the antenna for satellite radios but I wonder if you couldn't come up with a simple gimballed mount that clamp onto the...
Hi folks, Satellite Radio is the best, i just have a portable battery operated and always bring that along. doesn't solve your problem but at least you have...
Well, I spent the day aboard my new Catalina 27, trying to sort out the electrical system... it's a mess. Here is what works, via the fuse panel: -interior...
I'd be inclined to do the same although first I would do some continuity testing to correctly identify each wire. I would label it and add it to a sketch after...
Sorry to bother you all with this, but I didn't really know who else to ask. I went to register the boat today, but the registry stated that since I do not...
I didn't have any trouble registering my boat so I can't give you any tips. Here's a link to a photo of my boat. On the left behind the pulpit rail you can see...
