Ron,

I'll send you what I can when I return. May a couple of pages full ? Mine is
also a AB1W.
Merry Christmas
Pat

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Patrick, thanks for the reply on the
Petter diesel overhaul. I would appreciate ANY information you can share on
the removal, repair and installation of your engine. I have disconnected
everything and am contemplating the actual removal. I plan to remove the
engine while the boat is in the slip. Do you have any idea on the weight of
the engine? The Petter is a AB1W. I have a 1973 Catalina 27 #1114. Thanks-Ron

See Bob Duerer web site http://members.aol.com/bobdeurer/home.htm I
think he has pictures, etc. on removing a mast.

Ron, two (among many) methods come to mind:
1. Raft along side a buddy with a 35 to 40 footer and use one of his
halyards
2. On the Catalina web site there is a good example of a "gin pole"
type of arrangement that can be easily constructed out of common lumber.
Other than that it's not as big of a task as it would appear, just
have plenty of strong help, think it thru and go slow.

I have a '73 and need to do some mast work. Since I have the boat
in a slip and have not yet dropped the mast, can you recommend a technique ?-Ron

Peter, I may have one on my salvage '73, I'll check tomorrow
morning and let
you know.
As far as the wiring, if yours come out the side of the mast near
deck
level, if so you can use the old wire to pull a new one. If not
it's not
that hard to drop the mast and go thru it to check for other
problems as
well.
