310 Wing Keel Draft

[Kevin Curry (Irish Ayes)]

I have a sales brochure for a C-310 which states that the draft of the C-310 is 4 feet. I have a spec from the Catalina web site which states that the draft is 4 feet, 4 inches. The spec on the Catalina 310 Assoc. states the spec as 4 feet 10 inches.Has anybody with a C-310, wing keel, actually measured their draft, or does anybody know what the correct draft is? I can then set my depth meter offset correctly.Kevin

It is 4 ft 10 in

I believe that the first 310s had lower drafts for the wing keel version but they settled on 4'10" early. I have hull number 118 - built January 2001 - and it is close to 4'10" - not easy to measure accurately but it is close.
