Actually this is a more accurate photo. Posted the wrong one in my last post.

I’m thinking of replacing the existing canvas top, not duplicate the hardtop version of the Pilot 34. I’ve attached a photo of what I hope to accomplish.

I plan to install a hardtop on my 2002 Pilot 34 this spring. I have done some initial research and it appears Atlantic Towers can make one up for me. Does anyone have experience with installing a hardtop on the Pilot 34? Looks like a fairly simple install. The only drawback is that I am in Nova...

Hi Duetto, Just curious if your St Croix davits are the 1” tube or the 1.25” tube? Quite a price difference between the two. My dinghy weighs in at 250 lbs and the 1” davits support 350lbs so that is what I am looking at. Jamie Morrison 2002 Pilot 34 “Foto” Halifax, Nova Scotia

The radar arch on my 2002 Pilot 34 has been removed in the past so the boat could be shipped by truck. I thought I would rebed the fasteners. I was very surprised to find that the arch was fastened to the deck and side using large stainless screws. I was fully expecting bolts. I also discovered...

This looks like a great solution. The curve of the transom brings the bow away from the door. Didn’t think of that one and it saves purchasing the St Croix Platform Mounts if I was to mount the davits at the end of the platform. Looks like ratchet straps securely hold the dinghy in place. It is...

My boat is kept at a floating dock at our yacht club that is the same height above the water as the swim platform. My wife has a medical condition that makes her a bit unsteady on her feet and she finds walking across the platform the easiest way to access the boat. She also stands on the corner...

Thanks for the quick reply. You have a gorgeous boat. I have to agree that the davits may be too far aft. Unfortunately I would very much prefer using the swim platform to board the boat than going over the gunnels. My swim platform has 4 stainless struts under the platform. The davits add...

Just to clarify I want to install platform davits as in hopefully attached photo. The davits would then be at stern edge of the swim platform. The bracing bars on the platform bar blocks the door from opening. Using this option avoids attaching anything to the transom which solves one of my...

Anyone install the series 400 St Croix davits on their Pilot 34 using the platform mounts? Seems like a great way to mount davits and still be able to use the swim platform for boarding while the dinghy is on the davits. There are a couple of installation issues I am coming across. I don’t think...

I removed my seats for reupholstering by tapping out the roll pins on the slides. On the lower slides are two small nylon squares that are used to protect the aluminum slides from wearing. Anyone know where I can get my hands on replacements. My seats rock back and forth slightly and the new...

Hey all, my name is Jamie and I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. My wife Jane and I have recently purchased a 2002 Mainship Pilot 34 after spending years in the sailing community. The Mainship was a bit of a fixer upper but is now starting to look up. Over the summer we replaced all of the...
