Stainless steel stamped. (not the Cast stuff that is trouble) Shroud Chainplates came Upgraded. "U" shaped with Aluminum Angle Backing plate. Through Hulls and the Seacocks were NOT upgraded. They were still the Catalina" Black Iron Pipe and brass Gate valves" .. I changed to Bronze through hulls and Ball Valve Seacocks.. I understand that SOME models had Plastic seacocks.. But it's hard to pin down. One of the major problems you'll face is.. Original owners did a lot of stuff to their boats. It's always hard to tell ....Who did What and When.

So I have a question. I know that the aluminum spreader sockets, the aft shroud chainplates and gate valves on through hulls are three common problems on the 27s. My question is whether Catalina addressed these problems at some point, or are they common to all 27s? (I'm hoping that maybe these problems were solved by the early or mid 80s.) Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail® goes with you. http://windowslive.com/Tutorial/Hotmail/Mobile?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Tutorial_Mobile1_052009
