			<description><![CDATA[ With hull number 76 I'm near the head of the pack...towards &quot;classic plastic&quot; classification.......<br>
            <br>
            Lady Kay has developed a pretty good list of gelcoat cracks. The ones that concern me most are in the &quot;creases&quot; around the cockpit. Most noticeably where the coaming meets the cabin....all the way from  deck to the &quot;back rest&quot;, both sides. Around the back end of the coaming. In the floor in the forward head, also in the... ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[ New Rudder ]]></title>
			<link>http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/topic/1403/t/New-Rudder.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I am in the middle of a complete refit and I am wondering whether to fit the new rudder. From what I read here, the new rudder reduces weather helm. Is that the case or does it simply make it easier to control weather helm? In other words is weather helm independent of the rudder? Will the boat go faster with the new rudder? I am completely satisfied with the existing one but I have read that the boat is transformed with the new rudder etc etc. The experience of others would be welcomed. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have my 1994 MKI hauled replacing the cutlass bearing.  I was told that the shaft is pitted and needs replaced.  What is the cost of a new shaft, and can I get one from catalina?  How difficult is it to remove the rudder to replace the shaft.  The yard was saying that it would take two guys all day. ]]></description>

			<link>http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/topic/1406/t/Mystery-bolt-near-stuffing-box.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ There is a square-headed bolt and a Phillips head screw sticking out of the brass fitting that attaches to the shaft log hose. This is the fitting that is treaded for the stuffing box  and lock nut. The square-headed bolt looks like it might be a plug into which one could screw a large zerk fitting, for grease. Is there some sort of bearing at the inboard end of the shaft log hose that needs grease? What is this bolt and what is the screw beside it?<br>
            Thanks.<br>... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ This is the my first year in a yard that does not allow the owner to paint the bottom. I am curious as to what others pay (excluding cost of paint) to have there C42s sanded and painted with one coat. It looks like I am going to pay in excess of $1000 which to me seems unreasonable. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have a 1997 hull #560 which had blisters almost three years ago. Catalina stood behind it knowing they had some bad gelcoat out there. My hull was given a total peel, within a week a new coat of vinylester bottom coat was applied. This was all done per Franks directions and demands. Catalina supplied the peel and the materials for recoating. The yard up in Port Towsend Washington didnt agree on the application process but followed Franks instructions. No gelcoat was applied only the... ]]></description>

My friend with a 2001  Model 380 had 2 installation problems when he added the autoprop: blade in reverse hit strut [an arc in strut was ground out for clearance]: prop went so far on the drive shaft that a 1&quot; shaft spacer was required.

			<description><![CDATA[ Last night our Catalina fleet had a presentation on this new (at least new to me) brand of feathering prop. It's quite a different design of props, blades made out of Zytel (fibreglass reinforced plastic). Makes it much lighter than Martec or other traditional props. Quite inexpensive, somewhere close to 1/3 the cost of an Autostream. Worth reading more about the product if you're in the market for a feathering prop. There is a dealer in Marina del Rey, contact me off list if you want his... ]]></description>

            I would like to hear from any boat owner that has used Coppercoat as an anti-fouling. I applied Coppercoat last winter 2004/2005 and launch the boat in April and hauled it out at the end of September. The result was one of the dirties hulls of many hundreds of boats hauled at the end of the season. The Coppercoat had not reacted with the water and no oxidisation had take place and therefore, there was not anti-fouling properties. The boat is berth in... ]]></description>
