We are looking to add some seating to Shya Amanzi - I have found some stern
rail seating at the Catalina Direct store that are made specifically for the
Cat 38. Has anyone on the forum purchased these?

Hi Eldore,
I purchased one of this Zwaardvis table pedestals from ebay. I had to build
a new table since the previous owner removed it and installed a fridge on its
place.

We are looking to upgrade our cabin table on our 1982 Catalina 38. At the
moment the table is very awkward to manouver when having to convert the
dining area into extra sleeping room. The previous owners have had the
upholstry redone with 6 inch thick foam which, although very comfy makes it
difficult to get your legs under the table.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where we could find a replacement -
Iooking through the website I found pictures showing the interior of
Incommunicado, which shows a great table.
Kind regards,
Eldore' and Victor

Hi, Don,
I think the slope being referred to is between the forward end of
the
chart table and the forward end of the kitchen cabinet, where my boat
(and I think many others) has a step down of abort 3" as you go forward.
I gather from some of the mails, that some boats have a slope there.
My tank is 35 gallons, and apparently was factory installed.
by the way, to find small leaks of any fluid or air, we use talcum
powder. Cheap talc will provide nice delineation where fluid is moving,
and for some other kinds of air leaks will puff a nice little cloud.
Also it will impart a nice smell in the process. Do not use it for
volatile gas leaks, because it can aggravate the flame possibilities due
to static. There use some of the bubble mix that plumbers use, or kids
bubble soap or just mix up some good soapy water with dishwashing
liquid.
A sneaky way to find cabin leaks is to seal the cabin, and inflate
it
with a vacuum cleaner. Then use bubble solution on the windows, frames,
hatches and so forth until the leak is found. That is a good time to
wash the boat, too.

Les H

I bought the stern rails for my Catalina 38 and they work great. The only
problem is that you must pull them off to get into the setty where my CNG is
located.
