I’ve got rust on the metal door surround on the lower fridge door on my MK 1. I plan to remove the door and metal surround, deal with the rust (if it isn’t too bad), repaint and reinstall. Anyone else

Any chance you have some photos. BTW, this subject (which we all struggle with) would make a great feature for Mainsheet Magazine. Maybe we could request submissions and share all the good ideas. Frit

My 1997 C400 MK1 has a Z-Spar mast with a T groove on the forward part of the mast. I understood that at one time you could purchase an attachment point for a whisker pole that fit into the T groove,

I was cleaning this area of the bilge today and found the green copper bar when I moved the white vent hose out of the way. Looks like a ground bar. The blue wire attached to it runs aft on the starbo

Lee and Tom, thanks for the feedback. It sounds like the Vesper XP 8000 and a single antenna is the way to go. Did either of you already have a radio with an AIS receiver when you installed the Vesper

I’m adding AIS to my electronics inventory and trying to decide whether to go with one VHF antenna shared with the VHF via a “no loss” splitter, or a separate antenna for the AIS mounted on the arch w

I use my foot pump, though usually with my fingers rather than my foot, and it quickly removes about 99% of the water in the bottom of the fridge. A quick swipe with a sponge gets the rest. Fritz Feit

Anyone had an issue with your boat suddenly going though zincs too rapidly? My diver noticed it. While working on my neighbor’s boat he checked on the zincs he installed on my boat 3-4 months ago and

Tom, any chance your friend has some photos of the install or info about the added LED lights? I suspect others may also be interested. Fritz Feiten fritz.feiten@...

I’m replacing the standing rigging on my 1997 C400 and taking care of some other things while the mast is out of the boat (VHF/AIS antenna, new wind speed/direction, new LED anchor light, etc.). Also

I have the same problem and my understanding is there are no replacement parts available for the ST60 (and haven’t been for many years) and you basically have to start over. I’m starting over with Gar

Do any of you Honda 2000 users have issues with the reverse polarity light coming on (the one on the 120 volt panel)? I have tried this generator by simply plugging in the shore power cord with an ada

I don’t have an answer but I’d bet Warren at Catalina does. Fritz Feiten 206-914-6899 fritz.feiten@...

I’m curious if replacing the standing rigging requires removing the mast or if it is done with the mast up, one piece at a time. I’ve not had to replace rigging on other boats I‘ve owned, but my 1997

This echos my experience and my C400 is also from 1997. Good advice. Fritz Feiten 206-914-6899 fritz.feiten@...

Alan, Thanks for the note. Do you have any photos of your solar set up, or of the boat from a distance (e.g. the entire boat) with the solar panels? My wife has expressed some concern about how the pa

I have a very sturdy arch on my 1997 400 that has the radar mounted on it and was designed to support a fancy and very heavy rigid inflatable that I’ve replaced with a smaller and much lighter alterna

I have 100’ of 5/16 G43 chain and 200’ of 5/8” 3 strand line that came with the boat. I’ve never liked/trusted the rope/chain splice and I’ve redone it every 3-4 years. This was the year and WOW, the
