Hello, I have a 34' 2007 Navy Mainship Pilot. Does anyone know what paint (Awlgrip, Enron,etc.) was used and what color batch ? Need to do some touchup work. TIA

Hello everyone, this question is for the belectrically inclined. I have a Mainship34 Pilot and on the salon breaker panel the "engine" CB sometimes has an issue staying "on" only when initially placed into position. Any ideas? This is a CB and not a switch right? Do they wear out like house CB's...

Hello everybody, I'm in the market for a Downeast style 34-36 Express cruiser. I'm not planning on extended cruising, just playing around in sw FL and maybe out for night or two.I previously owned a Mainship 30 Pilot and found the noise levels and following quartering sea to be issues. Any input...

Any sage advice from anyone preferably people involved with boat construction or naval engineers? I am looking at Marlow 34-37 Pilot (or similar) 12k to 18k pounds to possibly have on lift. I am getting feed back on pros and cons but am concerned with stress and flexing on that kind of weight...

Looking to purchase 2008 34 Mainship Pilot Hardtop or Marlow preferably single engine with hard salon/helm stern door area.

Anybody familiar with enclosing the back end (salon and helm area) of a Mainship 34 Pilot Sedan with fiberglass instead of canvas? I've been looking for a 2008 already done to buy, but there are hardly any out there for sale. I would prefer a single engine if anyone knows one for sale. Thanks,Martin

Hey everyone, I'm looking at a 34 Mainship Pilot 2 that the broker says cavitates above 2000 RPM.He says he tried to put on 5 blade prop to mitigate issue but didn't work. Also says previous owner extended keel for some reason ( I assume the same). Any ideas ? Thanks !

Battery is right next to thruster

1. two to three seconds 2. never measured that 3. yes 4. new /unknown* *unable to answer as not near boat now

I mean 3-4 bursts of considerable thrust with lever in full deflection followed by noticeable decrease with lever in same position. Thanks

Hi everybody, I have a Mainship Pilot 30. The bow thruster gives me about 3-4 max thrusts and then runs out of steam and turns at a little whir at lower RPM. My mechanic says it's normal and only designed for short bursts and not designed to spin boat around on its axis. I understand that, but...

Bad idea, unless $$ is absolutely no issue.Putting all that money into something you'll use for 3-5 years at best and watch it depreciate while spending $20k or more in maintenance and dockage is not wise. Like the other sane blogs advise, get a 30-42 MAX. Remember at marinas, its not all about...

I have a Mainship 30' Pilot and the mattress is a little firm for my wife. I thought about using Memory foam or inflatable, but irregular shape is issue and I don't want to block A/C vents. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

Hey you Mechanics, I have about 1.5" of water in bilge on a regular basis in my Mainship 30 Pilot. Ive read in different articles that this is actually normal and these intermittent drops verify the seal is operating as designed. Any thoughts ?

Same problem on my 30' Pilot. Not fun when your dependent on it in a tight situation in a lock or something. Not much rudder authority at all backing up. Trouble shot it down to relay on top of thruster by voltage directly to thruster terminals.

Anyone know where to buy replacement ? Factory or after market ? Thanks

Anyone know a good way to pull out those sink and shower drains ? Liquid wrench and needle nose pliers? Or just paint the damn things. Thanks

I have a shower drain and wash basin bowl drain in my Mainship that are pitted and corroded, any ideas on getting them off? Are they screwed in on a sleeve and easily replaced ? Or should I just paint them.

Nice ! And thanks for the input. Seadek looks great and Im sure is appropriate for certain applications and stations,but I'm a little leery on stains,burns,delaminating, etc.And since its glued to the glass,I heard its a real problem to get off. If I end up somehow screwing up the carpet,I'll...

Hey everyone, I have a Mainship 30 in SW FL and I was considering snap in carpet for the helm seating area. "Seadek" a foam type flooring in different patterns and colors was suggested. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with either one,durability,costs,etc. Any thoughts are...

Hello, I recently purchased a Mainship 30 Rumrunner.I was looking at some pics of other boats and saw one that had fold up padded seats hinged to the stern facing the helm.They looked really nice and practical and wondered if anyone knew if they are factory or aftermarket and where to get...

Thanks, everyone

Hello, I am in negotiations on a 2005 Mainship Pilot 30. The boat has listed air/heat but on survey the heat did not work.I was told by broker that "heat" may be an "option"on that boat. Question, does that sound legit ? Thanks
