    Other: Californian LRC 42 electrical panel

    Hi everybody, I don't know if anyone is interested in any parts from this panel. As far as I know all was working before removal, seems a shame to throw it in the dumpster. I'm more than willing to dismantle as needed. Thanks Andy in Alaska

    Engine Access

    Engine room access On my 42 LRC Californian, there is one large hatch and two smaller hatches. Opens up to maybe 4x6 ish.

    Californian water tank outlet

    Greetings everybody. By chance does anyone know the thread of the outlet of the main water tank on a Californian 42 LRC? The previous owner removed the fitting, and the thread looks somewhat "confused"! Thanks Andy

    US Comes Home Flying Jolly Roger

    Jolly Roger I seem to remember a few years back there was a fuss about all the British subs returning to their bases flying the Jolly Roger. Probably not PC anymore!!

    34 Californian Floor Jack Supports

    Saggy floors Hi there, I've read with interest on jacking the floors up. I've put together some temporary jacks with the view to permanently reinforcing the floor. It's on a 1975 Californian 42, my question being, does anyone know the correct distance from the longitudinal stringer to the...

    42' 1976 Californian LRC

    Nice boat, but what's interesting is. . . . There doesn't appear to be a port side door? :eek: Is this typical of 1976 42's or just another Californian oddity? Hi guys, I have a 75ish maybe? 42LRC. No port side door for me either! Maybe the cheap version? lol Andy

    Oh oh, another newbie!

    Californian HIN#'s Hi again, I'm back with more questions! I found an old survey done on my Californian 42 LRC , HIN# clearly JCMO 42410975, which says year 1975 built in Tustin CA. I also found a report on the VHF radios dated 1975. My question is, does the HIN# decode to hull 41 of the...

    Oh oh, another newbie!

    Camber height and age of boat Thank you so much for those measurements!!! I knew the roof couldn't be flat. Well, it is flat, shouldn't be flat. As for the support pole you mentioned, also awol! Though I don't have the two beds, just a queen? centered in the room. I can tell I need to go...

    Oh oh, another newbie!

    Yup! That's exactly where the holes are. Guess I'll start looking around, up and under for it. At least I know what I'm missing. Next trip to the boat I'll double check the hull imprint, and also look to see if I have a seam in the hull approx. 4 feet from the transom. I can tell this is...

    Oh oh, another newbie!

    Thanks for the quick reply! I have looked for the little plate before, nowhere to be found, there are a couple of vacant screw holes and a clean "shadow" at that spot, but no plate. I'll check on the hull imprint on the stern when I next make the 120 mile trip to the boat. Thanks again Andy

    Oh oh, another newbie!

    Hi there, I'm a newbie to the forum, currently basking in a balmy Alaska. I have acquired a 42 Californian LRC. 1978 according to papers, or 1975 according to hull number? My first of many questions. Does anyone know the crown height/camber of the main deck, and also the aft sleeping area...
