I have 2 ac units on this Catalina 2008 16000 BTU under V Berth and 7000 BTU in aft closet. The AC Coil in the V Berth that has been protected with a filter(always clean) has become totally degraded; when I take a vacuum and a brush to clean, it isn’t dirt that is coming off the fins, it is metal debris from same; I can’t even imagine how the ac is even able to cool. Anyway, being that the unit is 9 years old, I don’t trust it and want to replace. The problem unit is the 16000 BTU in the forward V Berth The unit that is in there is a Marvair SeaMach; I can’t begin to figure out how the hell they got it in there or how to get it out and how I can install a new like and kind. Any suggestions from my fellow Catalina owners. Thanks Charlie Knupp sailboat DAFFY Fort Lauderdale FL

Transmission Clutch Cable
I have a 2002 Catalina 380. There is too much play in the transmission clutch cable, and I have decided to replace it. Does anyone know the length/specifications of the cable for the Catalina 380?
Catalina 380 installed 3 phase charger. Installed 1999. No longer works.
The 3 phase charger installed in the starboard stern hatch no longer works.
Has anyone had to replace this electronic part ?

Exhaust Vent Loop Squeaks
New 385, the exhaust vent loop on the forward bulkhead of the cockpit locker squeaks rather loudly at low rpms (it goes away at high rpms). Have other 385 owners experienced this noise? Is it normal or if not, were there any maintenance that made the noise go away?
Catalina 380 Westerbeke overheat
New to association and getting familiar with boat. Ran across attachment in documents provided by previous owner relating to an overheat problem with the 42B4. Called Westerbeke and Catalina support trying to find out if it applied to my boat, hull 191. Catalina support related that it was discovered in earlier models and fixes were made; Westerbeke said same. I asked if thermostat should still be at 160 degrees if fixes were made. I was advised to keep it at 160 degrees. I had the engine services by my mechanic and he replaced it with a 180 thermostat, as specked by Westerbeke. He argues to keep it at 180; I’m on the fence. Any experienced advice appreciated.
