Catalina 30 - Not starting! Please help.

Hi all: My 1984 Catalina 30 was working perfectly and one day later wouldn't start. I turn the key, press the start button and nothing, not even a ticking over. I traced wires and everything looked ok, I even hired a marine electrician to come down and check all the wiring, batteries etc and he said everything looked good. He suggested that the issue might be the starter/solanoid, and that it may be time to replace. Is there any way to check this, because I was hoping the marine electrician would have done this.... I'm also worried that the alternator might be the issue. Sorry for the vague thread but hopefully someone has some advice. Thanks.  

dLj

Your marine electrician should have easily been able to tell you if it was the solenoid. You put a volt meter on the terminals on your starter/solenoid and check for correct voltage. You can jump across the solenoid and see if the starter engages. Take photos of the starter, solenoid and post here. Someone here can likely tell you exactly what posts you need to find what voltages and how to jump the solenoid. dj  

JoeWhite

Take a mallet and hit the starter lightly on all sides. Then try starting. If it fails, you need a helper to press the starter button while you measure the positive voltage on the started cable before and after the starter button is pressed. If you see the expected 12 volts, then remove the starter and perform the same test. If starter does not turn, it can be fixed at an auto repair shop.

I had the same issue just a few days ago. It could easily be the push button switch is failing. @ward & I were heading out to sail and no start after I just had the engine running an hour earlier. At Ward's suggestion, we got access to the back of the switch and touched the terminals with a screwdriver. Started immediately. I bought a new switch but haven't installed it yet. Every subsequent start has been flawless so far. I'm thinking the switch will eventually be replaced. Give it a try. BTW, whenever I've experienced a bad solenoid on my boat or others, there is usually a click while the starter is attempting to engage. The fact that he hears nothing seems to indicate (to me) an electrical disconnection failure. That's why I would start at the push button switch (or maybe even the keyed switch).

If that '84 Catalina still has the OEM Universal M25 diesel, there is a good chance that the starter button has corroded away inside. Also, you need to replace both of the "trailer connectors" in that wiring harness before they overheat enough to start to smolder or start a fire. Most owners either replace the harness with larger diameter wires or at least install terminal strips in place of the woefully inadequate "connectors". Great engines, at their heart, being a marinated Kubota engine.

Thank you all!! Really appreciate the help. It seems like the issue is indeed the solenoid/starter after intensive testing. I will remove, take it to a repair shop and see if that fixes the issue.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Total Catalina 34’s built: 1,438 Shoal draft: 4.67’.

1985-1986: Deck stepped mast; Universal 25 (21HP) diesel engine. 1987-1990: Changed to keel stepped mast; Universal 25XP (23 HP) engine. 1990-1991: Walk-through transom introduced; Universal M35 (30 HP).

The last Mark I models look very much like Mark IIs. (see CATALINA 34 MKII)

Wing keel: Draft = 3.83’.

Tall Rig: I: 46.0’ J: 13.5’ P: 40.5’ E: 12.0’

    The engine of the Catalina 30, upgraded from 11 hp to 23 hp, is located midship beneath the dinette seat.
