Someone gave me the advice of going as slow as possible when docking into your slip to the point where you don't need to put your engine in reverse at the end. It's what I aim for but I don't always achieve it. It's critical to have a reliable engine in the L.A. Harbor. Nice boat btw!

I'm a keelboat newb and out of the hundreds of videos of "influencers" Ive seen begging for cash and exploring exotic locales, this video was the best. You hung tough, admitting ignorance but not defeat. Great video for me to see. It reminds me of Lewis and Clark's 1st night of the expedition. They departed Independence, MO and camped for one night for the "show" and make sure they didnt forget anything. They did. Had to send someone back to town. Sub'd.

Great channel! just found an watch all videous! I am also a new owner of Catalina 30 MKii, got it about in the same time as you. The toilet jobs were the first to tackle as well. I had the same pump as you bought, but it failed miserably on my last time using it. Hinges that stick uses for rotation fall off. But I do not know how old pump was to be honest. From manufacture description it is not rated as a tank pump out. Ordered Whale BP0527 as a replacement, will see how it will work.

As long as your boat wasn’t “repainted” then it’s the original gel coat and what was under the decal is the original unfaded colour. Cut polishing the whole hull might make it less apparent but you’ll likely still see where the decals were.

Unfortunately mine is just a regular 110V fridge. Runs off the inverter when I’m away from the dock. It is pretty useless considering the amount of power it uses and the little storage it offers. DC refrigeration is on the list though. I think there are units that allow you to turn your ice box into a DC refrigerator but I haven’t looked too deep into it.

Great video. Consider a racor type fuel filter/water separator. I have the 500 series, and I can change filters in just a few minutes. And, water can be drained from the bottom, and there is a nice clear bowl where I can see what is going on. The best part is that after changing the filter, I just top it off with fuel, and then no bleeding is necessary.

Get a Racor 500 fuel filter. All you do is unscrew the top, pull the filter out and drop in a fresh one. You wont have to do any bleeding. Takes 30 seconds, no tools needed, and no fuss or mess unlike the kind you currently have. The 500's size is overkill for your size engine but its worth it.
