Try Head Lube - like motor honey it might just correct all ills.

My Admiral said - sell the boat!

They are great sheets - expensive but worth every penny!

Stephen: we had a rendezvous about 5 years ago at the Middle Bass Island Marina. I think we had about 8 C-310s. I think it was in August. Alan Clark is our commodore and I am sure he will respond to you as well. Alan did a good job setting up the last event. Do you have any specific ideas...

Clydo, Stu may be on to something. I remember having the same issue maybe 10 years ago and the fix was resetting all the GFI outlets. I think the one in the aft birth was the culprit.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'll investigate further and do something come April/May when the ice is gone.

On my 2001 #118 C310 that I bought new, I have 2001 era stereo receiver, a 12 CD changer and 4 hard wired speakers - 2 cabin and 2 under perch seats. The system needs to be replaced. I would prefer to not to replace the speakers. Suggestions? Replace CDs with Pandora or XM with a new...

Part from Catalina Direct was the correct replacement. Price all of $10.84 with tax and shipping. Thanks for the link!

The last time I sent the sails out for cleaning, I had Sail Care convert the main to loose footed. Did this because I was also about to order a stack pak - cradle cover (with lazy jacks) from Doyle.. Everything went great. Really miss that Dutchman - NOT!

Using my best "nautical speak" (the Admiral loves it when I use technical terms like grab that 'thing'), the rubber quarter-sized cover, gasket, thingy that might be designed to keep water out of the switch has deteriorated and fallen off. Anyone know where to get one of these? Maybe replace...

If you want to keep it "real simple" you can do what I did; replaced my old Raytheon 420 chartplotter with a Raymarine A75 - now the Axiom. The unit has an internal antenna and I chose to not to link it over the network until I have the time to muck around. The unit has a great sunlight...

Strongly urge you to have a LOCAL canvas shop make your new bimini. I went to Catalina's OEM supplier for a replacement dodger. I even shipped them my tattered dodger. They screwed up were they put seams that made install a royal pain. Very disappointed. Go local if you can. BTW, I believe...

Yes! Opens up the cockpit - one of the best upgrades I have made.

Mark: Suggest you look at installing a brass quarter turn shutoff valve just in front of the Racor or if the fuel line is still flexible use a chanel-lock to shut off the fuel. There was a short article with a picture in a way-back issue of Mainsheet on the shutoff valve. I did it and it is a...

Frank, if you would like to go with something very simple and really cheap cheap consider a wood top and bottom frame to match the companionway and screening from top to bottom glued in place. it works for bugs, lets in light, rolls up and did I mention cheap.

From my 2001 owners manual - 100 ft

Matpearce: I'm not sure I totally understand your question - are you talking about the friction between the reefing line and the grommet in the sail? I installed small blocks at each grommet and reduced the friction and doubled the mechanical advantage.

This problem raised its ugly head this past weekend - the buzzer on the key switch would not shut off and the tach would not work or would stick at some rpm. I could silence the buzzer by turning the key switch off. No issues with the engine running (gravity feed) and restart was fine so I...

Frank: I am confused; you mention a single spreader masthead rig - Are your sure that you do not have a double spreader rig?

Frank: Congratulations and welcome to our group. As the 4th and final member of the 310 IA officer group I look forward to your membership in our organization. I am the C310 IA Mainsheet editor and like Jesse I am responsible for providing articles and information on our members and their...
