Galley Removal

[rwells47]

Due to my M25XP needing extensive work, the galley ( sink, drawers) need to be removed so the engine can be pulled. Is there a diagram floating around anywhere showing where to start, or show where all the connections are?
It is a 1987 Catalina 30 TR......

Lotsa hits, no replies, so here goes.

As far as i know there are no detailed plans. What's there is essentially cabinetry work installed on a relatively mass produced factory line scale.

One of our members did take his galley apart on his C34, so we know it can be done.

Here are links to his work:

Good luck, remember where the pieces came from and need to go back!

What engine work do you need to do?

I laid off replying only because it was 5 years ago that I removed my galley and my memory isn't what it used to be. Prompted by the lack of response, I'll give it a try.

Disconnect the sink plumbing and dismount the engine antisiphon loop if you have one.
Remove the drawers.
Remove the stove.
Unscrew and remove the cabinet face above the countertop on the port side.
Remove all the phillips head screws you can find. When you think you've found them all, give the galley a little nudge and go find the rest. There are several inside the drawer area and inside the door, some on the dinette side near the corner.
Gently lift up to clear the exhaust hose.
And you're done.

Thank you Stu....I think with the amount of work that needs to be done I'm bringing in a professional! Never having tackled a project of this size and nature I hope to learn a lot. My boat is being pulled within a few hours and will be on the hard during the entire engine pulling, making it more difficult than I want to handle solo.
