I've had my 1997 MkII for 2 seasons. I need to use the winch to fully hoist the main and jib (about the last 1/3 of the way). The discussion group has told...
If you like climbing the mast, they can be replaced in ten minutes or so. One shaft holds two on each side of the mast (fore and aft). I would go with the...
A year or so ago I talked with a rigger about changing our sheaves. They had not been changed since getting our boat new in 1/92. He said he would not attempt...
Don. For what it is worth, I had the sheaves changed last year. The rigger at the West Marine store near Lake Union in Seattle did the job with the mast up, ...
I have installed two of the aluminum with torlon ball bearings on my c28 and would not consider anything else, they work great and worth every penny! They...
Steve, Did you change the ones at the base of the mast at the same time? Alex Oakes Ruby #446 Steve Johnson <scjmastertek@...> wrote: I have installed two...
Alex, I did not need to change out the ones at the base of the mast as my mast is the early single spreader design with exit slots about five feet above the...
Mike Last season I changed all four of my sheaves with the black delrin with a stainless sleeve that I got from Catlina. I did it with the mast up off a bosuns...
Hi all: We have a chartplotter with charts and a backup battery or 12 volt powered handheld GPS unit that uses the same charts. We can get our SOG with either...
Sounds like you don't need it. It is handy if you are interested in calculating currents (i.e., SOG +/- knot meter value) and/or plotting set & drift. The...
I have the same problem with accuracy. However, I also feel that the knotmeter is invaluable as a sail trim tool. The GPS just isn't quick enough to measure ...
Hi Anton: Thanks for the info. The sending unit is installed under the vberth but it is on the port side of the hull about a foot up from the keel. I have...
Thanks Alex, appreciate the info. I guess that gets to the heart of my question. My main concern is always knowing where I am, which the GPS tells me,...
Hello We are owners of Glory a 1992 C-28, # 235. I know from many questions on this forum that the locations of certain items vary from year to year. On Glory...
Thanks Beth. My description of where the sender is for the knotmeter is a bit misleading, it is actually quite a bit forward of the keel, probably only 5 or 6...
I am getting no current from my #1 battery to the battery switch. The battery has a full charge. I thought it may be the switch itself, but have eliminated...
Hi Dave: There wasn't any fusing on the battery cables on #25 when we bought her. I put 150 amp breakers on both lines at the battery end, they're now just...
Hi Dave; A couple of dumb questions; Is there voltage at the battery terminals?, is there continuity on the cable from the battery to the switch, does your...
Thanks for the input Garry. I think I checked your ideas, but am now second guessing the cable ends. I'll give it all another review a little later this...
Hi Dave, no fuse in the cable unless it was added after the boat left the factory, I had the same problem and found out it was the ground. Hope that is helpful...
Hi Bud & Suzanne, Most of the issues have been addressed by other group members. But I felt I might make a contribution. Logs, have been with us for some...
Hi Bud and Sluzanne, I agree with Gerry's comments and would like to add a few of my own. GPS and a knot meter measure different things in different ways and ...
Hi Everyone; The icebox conversion unit on Chezbear has packed it in and needs to be replaced. It is the standard sort of arrangement with the compressor in...
Hi Barbara; The units are Nova Kool R3803 or R4503. They can be seen at www.novakool.com . The units I saw at the boat show were the R3800 but I think the...
Hi Garry, How much cabinet work do you think this would entail? Removal of the original entirely? Jim Wiles Catalina MKII, Journey #456 Garry Hebert...
Hi James; This will be a major project. The existing system will have to be completely removed and the existing ice boxwill need to be taken out as well. ...
Jason, I congratulate you on the pictures which show a very spiffy, well equipped clean boat. Lots of extras visible too. I would expect you will not have...
