[C38] Punch List

[Steve Smolinske]

Mark, 

 

For the wind meter and autopilot check Minneys yacht surplus and Second
Wave those are the only two consignment places that I know of for
instruments.  Autopilot I just replaced my Raymarine wheel pilot
(Undersized for our boats) after two failures with a Garmin autopilot.
If you go with a hydraulic ram make sure you have room to install it, I
purchased the garmin ram, it was way to big no possible location for it,
ended up with an Jeffa electric drive from PYI tied into the garmin
computer and control head.

Hello 38' owners.  I took a new job about a year ago and have been
absent the site for about that long.  This is Mark Lewis, Hull #6,
originally named Pokai, I contemplated changing to Bluewater, but
elected to keep the old name as the boat has a long history (article in
Sports Illustrated 1980 winner of the Congressional Cup).

 

Here are the things I have yet to fix/finish and would appreciate any
feedback you care to share:

 

1.  Windlass - have anchored twice now without one and it's a lot of
work!  What did Catalina offer and/or what do you use?

2.  Hot Water - anyone tried one of those tankless hot water heaters?

3.  Wind meter - brands, odds of finding one used?

4.  Autopilot - same as above

5.  Hull/deck/barrier coat/bottom paint - I've used Interlux Brightside
on the deck but am having trouble getting it to come out looking sprayed
instead of brushed.  Used recommended thinner and best badger brush I
could find.

6.  Suggestions for decals for the sides and back of the boat after I
finish the hull painting

 

Comments/suggestions much appreciated!

Mark
