    Mainship 34 salon window screens

    We installed the window screens on our 82 MS34 and looking for confirmation if we’re correct. The screens installed on the inside of the rear trapezoid windows and the forward rectangle window. The screens are missing some plastic clips that hold then tight between the upper and lower lips. Any...

    Teak clean up and renewal

    My 83 Mainship 34 topside teak is rough. I’m planning to lightly sand and treat with teak sealer. My question is regarding the grooves. Is there a caulking that fills the space or is this an accumulation of varnish over the years?

    Mainship 34 lower trottle cable length

    Thanks for the responses. I'll recheck things this weekend. I will most likely replace the upper helm cable and see if the lower needs to be replaced or not. I was hoping to do both in a single go.

    Mainship 34 lower trottle cable length

    One of my winter projects is replacing the throttle cables for the upper and lower helms. I found the length for the upper cable (34ft) but the lower cable has paint on it where I presume the length would be printed. Can someone with experience help with the length for the cable and also a...

    '82 Mainship 34 cabin refurbishment ideas

    I'm starting to plan out refurbishing the parlor and rest of the interior of our Mainship 34. I found a few threads with great ideas but hoping others will share a pic or two of updated cabins. Our first pass will be some quick updating. A lot of the cabinet boxes will be painted white to add...

    Gravity toilet not emptying via macerator

    I have a 9 gallon gravity feed toilet in my new to us Mainship 34 MKII. We have a stark rule of liquids only in the toilet. On our recent journey, I tried emptying the toilet with the macerator but it is not emptying. I hear the macerator running but it is a high pitch which sounds like there...

    Perkins overheated - Possible damage?

    Last weekend cruising on our new to us 82 Mainship 34, the cover for the screen on the intake did not fully seat and I believe led to lack of pressure for the intake. Our flybridge gauges do not work and stupidly I did not go down to check the temp once we were underway. As soon as we heard an...

    Hello

    I'm happy to join the group with a new to me 1982 Mainship 34 MK II. Survey says she's a solid boat. She still sports her orginal Perkins 200HP, a few original systems need updating and some 80s decoration ambiance. I'm looking forward to updating her for the family. I have a million...
