Subject: forward bulkheads cs_mckillip


The ones on my Capri have been Changed 5 yrs ago. Use some marine
plywood for the job If you want a stiffer bulkhead go with a 1"
material instead of 3/4". To stiffen up the bulkhed even more I
would suggest tabbing in fiberglass at the lower part of the
bulkhead to the hull. This would require you to remove part of the
liner or you could put some 8" inspection ports in both of the
storage areas and under the porta pottie. I am adding one there
anyway because of the water being able to get between the liner and
hull. What was Catalina thinking? I have thought of filling this
with a marine polyurathane foam to stiffen up the floor of the
liner. But I have started to think about water that would get
trapped over the winter and expanding in these areas. So I have gone
to LOWES and bought a 18 volt 2 gallon cord and cordless wet and dry
vac. Let me say this thing it a workhorse. The travler I belive is
the stock one that came with the boat. I have read that the lines
get stuck in the travler at the most inconvenient times. I would
like to get a winward sheeting car and raise the trace with a solid
piece of teak. Harken is having a close-out sale on all of there
stuff from 2003 around a 60 % savings. I got 2 ratchet blocks and a
travler car for 80.00.
