The previous post updates the Shutterfly album. The last two photos show the new ice box top lid and plexiglass/fiddleboard install on the galley stove area. The new SS butane stove is on top. Man does it burn hot.

The next project is to size the underside of the butcher block lid that fit atop the icebox to the interior sink dimensions. That will lock it in place when it is used as a cutting board. Mom is making some throw pillows for the cabin. I will remove the overhead folding curtain door track from the v-berth and replace it with a compression rod and use the same dark blue material as seen in the cabin for a cloth curtain.

Does anyone know where to get the aluminum channel that acted as the window curtain rods? There are two remaining in the head and sink area but the four for the main cabin are missing. The clips are still in place however.

Thanks,

Mike

Did another small mod and resized the original butcher block ice box top lid to fit the sink to give more counter area. Since it will be used to cut food I finished it with Pam cooking spray.

Moved the boat to Yachtfish at Port Orchard, Washington (one hour from her berth in Bremerton) to have the hull painted (no do it yourself allowed any more due to env regs). Will also get a quote to buff and wax the gelcoat.

Since I have to head back to Oregon for work I will ask the yard to inspect the keel cable for integrity and replace if necessary.

Mike,

I think I remember seeing these curtain tracks at a local RV/Trailer store.

Don, thanks. I will check it out. Sailrite might have something that will work too.

Happy New Year,

Mike

The boat is now on the hard at Yachtfish, Port Orchard, Wa. Hull, keel and rudder all look good. The cable and cable attach point look new. There is a definite gap between the keel and keel hangars so that will be subject to the Catalina Direct keel hangar upgrade with a new pivot pin and fasteners.

This was a DIY yard until the environmental liability put an end to that a few years ago. No outside boat work permitted by the owner but the owner can do anything he wants on the inside.

Since the yard was offering a free haul out special for December I took them up on it.

Yard work to include
1. Bottom paint
2. Buff and wax hull
3. Remove and replace wasted deck waste fitting
4. Install Catalina Direct hangar upgrade

Hope to get before and after photos and put them on Shutterfly.

An inspection of the keel hangar assembly ( I looked at close up photos my oldest son took) revealed that the hangar assembly was installed upside down. Had it not been for the information on this forum I would not have known that. When I brought it to the attention of the yard manager he said it was installed correctly. I sent him a Catalina drawing found in this forum and convinced him otherwise.

So upon removal of the keel the bronze pivot pin was bent and the pivot pin hole in the keel was elongated as well. The yard manager agreed with my theory that the keel cable failed with the keel in the full up position resulting in the interior damage. Further, it seems as if the keel was removed to help effect the repairs in the trunk and the bent pin was not noticed and the hangar assembly was installed upside down.

I ordered from Catalina Direct the upgraded hangar assembly, new fasteners, loctite, pivot pin, pivot pin bushing, and keel centering spacers. That will eliminate the keel klunk and make the keel assembly as strong as it can be.

Mike-- My keel pin hole was larger than the sleeve available at Cat.direct . I had a sleeve customed made to fit the oversized hole but still with the 1 " dia.pin hole . I put a lot of epoxy in the hole and shoved the new sleeve thru (first taping the end hole). That has taken care of my keel clunk . I guess the keel was sliding in the oversized hole when lowered as was my case. I do not see how they could have mounted the hangars upside down as they have the hump in the middle unless they used really long hangar bolts . But then who knows what master mechanics can figure out??
