Got 3 requests for histories with in 30 minutes of posting an ad. None would place a call to me. If don’t care enough to call, just ignore. Same for folks who offer to buy without coming to look. All scams. Talk to your bank about certified checks or echecks. Allow two weeks to “clear” .

My Prop on 99 Pilot Sedan 30 Bought with 15 years and it had a 21 x 21 4 blade and engine turned 3550. Had repitched to 21 x 23 and it turns 3350 with 1 1/2 knot increase in speeds over 2850 when she “planes” . But still a lot of vibration especially between 1600 and 2900. Love to hear...

Want to install a PSS Dripless shaft seal on my 1999 Pilot 30 Sedan. Anyone out there who has had one installed? Not much room in the bilge for anything the way they designed it Took an hour just to measure the shaft tube as no calipers would fit in the area. Hope I got it right at 2.5 inch...

Mainship Pilot 30 is not a Blue Water boat Love my 1999 Mainship Pilot 30 but it rocks and rolls and splashes its way in any seas at all. If you get it up on plane or close to it, it handles better but then you are burning fuel and beating up an engine that is too small for the boat. (Mine is...

Correct RPMs were 3600 before and 3450 after repitch.

My 1999 Pilot 30 had a 4 blade 21 x 21 prop and turned 2600 RPM and vibrated a lot. Tried alignment and had prop balanced and repitched to 21 x 24. Still vibrates but tops out at 2450 and plus 2.5 knots top end. If someone has put a 5 blade on an older Pilot it would be great to hear about...

Once again. Anyone know the cutlass bearing for the Mainship Pilot 30?

Need to haul for bottom painting and probably need to replace the cutlass bearing on my 1999 Mainship Pilot 30 with the Yanmar engine. I know the shaft is 1 1/2 inch but haven't spent much time under this boat. Anyone know of the correct cutlass bearing, where to get one, and how to replace?

Go for a Rocna or Mantus. Good hold, good reset, good nights sleep. Also carry a Fortress for stern or emergency.

Used it for 6 years on a 1980 Hunter. Will make anything shine with about 6 easy to wipe on coats. Can rub off if wet fender rubs it a while; but, then reapply on that area. Needs two or so coats every year and after few years, remove and start again. Not sure I'd use it on a boat with a...

Hi to all, just joined the forum as a new owner of a 1999 Mainship 30 Pilot Sedan. As a former sailor I am used to the pace of a trawler and actually think it is relatively fast. Hope to help others on the forum when I can and hope others can help me with the complexity of the Mainship versus...
