May I suggest that the Chief Commander on behalf of the executive committee
write a message to the Facebook Group, advising that the Catalina Club must stop
using the logo, and explaining that it's proprietary to CCCC.

Hi All,

Just trying to get the best fuel for the rpm.  I have twin 454's and 35'
Commander FB #321  1968  runs great.

From the formulas it looks like 7.8 knots (8.9 mph) is right ?

Any input ??

Thanks  Bud ,  Port Charlotte, FL

Ed and Marcia
I am running 15x17 on my 31 FB Express with 350s and my boat meets all the
performance marks right on

Subject: [CCCC] "Styled in Fiberglass" Winter 2009 Edition Now Available Online!!

 

The Winter 2009 Edition of "Styled in Fiberglass" is now available online at the club's website (www.commanderclub.com). I'm proud of this issue, as I feared it might end up being about 5 pages when I started with little material. The members came through for me (as they always do), and really ramped up this issue to be something incredibly enjoyable to read. I hope you think so as well.

It is available in two formats (low resolution for onscreen viewing and high resolution for printing). I'm most excited about having contributions from new members, as well as longtime members. I think it's this old and new that really makes for a quality publication.

I trust you will enjoy it, and look forward to any comments you might have.

I have provided "clickable" links in this message for easier navigation.

Regards,
Rob Cutchins, PR Chairman

It would either be a 55' or a 60', but NO 57'.

On Yachtforums.com there is a listing for a 1969 57 foot Commander, however; I
can not find a record of a 57 foot Commander ever being built.  Has anyone found
a record of this boat?

I have a 1980 410 Motor Yacht with the flybridge.  The boat was repowered in
1997 by previous owner with Crusader 454's with Delco EST ignition.  The boat
has some wiring discrepancies between the two engines that I am trying to
resolve. The boat has a single on/off key and two off/on/start toggles, one for
port engine, and one for starboard engine.  When the key is turned to "on" the
port hourmeter starts to click and record time (with the port start switch still
off).  The starboard hourmeter does not start until the starboard engine is
running.  In addition, the port warning lights and buzzer do not work.  The
starboard lights and buzzer come on when the start switch is turned to "on" and
stop after the engine starts.  The starboard lights and buzzer also work when
the alarm test push button is depressed.  The port lights and alarm do not come
on at all even with the alarm test push button.  As my troubleshooting
confidence has increased, my capacity to do stupid things has increased also.  I
thought that I would do some troubleshooting by apply 12 volts to the pins on
the back of the instrument panel to determine which pin and wire lit the port
warning lights and alarm.  I did this with the engines running, don't ask me
why, I just did.  One pin acted like a kill switch for the port engine.  I
restarted the engine without a problem.  Unfortunately,(really stupid), I did it
again. Now I cannot get the port engine to start.  It turns over and seems to
fire just for an instant, but does not start.  You help is appreciated.  I
realize it is difficult to fix stupid, but I promise that I will try harded
(think more).

Don't know who all has read the new SIF.. but it was a good read for me...
totally ENJOYED it Rob!! Great job as usual!!
  Thank You!!
