As one said above. "The haul out cost of 3 bills plus". Now most of us can DIY but remember there is a haul out fee to get it where it can be safely worked on. So? Let's say $300 for haul out, $100 for parts and $160 for labor. So I feel the $160 in labor is a little high but in the scheme of things not that bad. I would have wanted that much in labor myself. Especially if I had to warranty the work.

don't mean to rub it in, but for the sake of others who may follow, any of you consider calling catalina yachts before charging ahead?
I should have posted this earlier.
Looking at a picture, the only thing I wasn't crazy about is using any kind of plywood for a base or anywhere for that matter in a bilge area. Plywood & water by definition, should never meet. I've seen plenty of problems at thruhull fittings & most plywood bases, I saw had rotted.
There are alot of plastic/polypropylene/PVC & fiberglas compounds that are better "waterproof" products.

Thanks to all who responded.
1. The drain was winterized correctly.
2. We all know yards charge to much and they don't care
how long or fast they do a job.
3. I plan to change out the other valves this winter.
CAT DIRECT has the parts.
NO NEED TO REPLY. END....

Of course you are correct. I did soak the wood in resin. I may try replacing it next haul out.
