P-323 / Re: electrical for 323

Ed, the original atomic 4 was replaced with a yanmar 30 hp diesel. It is a tight squeeze to replace impellers and fuel filters.

My main concern with the electrical is the 110 AC. There is no breaker panel or a circuit breaker for the water heater or the outlets in the boat. I could use another 12 volt dc breaker panel to accommodate anything I might add.

This is the fun of owning an older boat.

Ed thank you for the information you provided on the step plate. I will look into routing the sink and shower water to the bilge.  I am going through the systems on the boat to see what I need to modify. The information other owners of older boats provide  is very useful. Thank you for your reply. By the way, I am having an electrician look at the electrical system as i believe it is the original wiring.

I don't think we can make the rendezvous due to previous commitments. Thanks again

P-323 / Step for Pearson 323

« on: June 30, 2016, 04:31:22 am »

I recently purchased my Pearson 323 hull 98. The step plate was almost totally corroded away. I had a stainless steel step fabricated and had to cut 4 inches off the mast as the bottom was corroded. The step was built up 4" to compensate.  I was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem? I am thinking of putting in a small bilge pump at the base of the mast to move standing water away from the step plate. The sink and shower drain into this compartment. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
