I have two dickinson newport heaters one is solid fuel and one is diesel. I'll probably go with the diesel as I already have a day tank and all the parts, might as well. I wish there was room to put the diesel one on the bulkhead in the galley and have the solid fuel one on the other side of it...

Californian 30 renovation update Its been a while since I posted, have been steadily making progress on the Californian. This past weekend I finally got the 1 inch aluminum backed closed cell foam insulation finished throughout, after stripping all the funky rotted wood and repairing any...

One of the first things I got after my boat, was one of those shop vac type heads that fits on a regular bucket. I figure, I need a bucket on the boat usually anyways, and the vacuum part is small enough to stash somewhere out of the way. Not a huge savings in space but I felt pretty clever. I...

What a crazy winter. Well, let's see, I got the subfloor torn out, secured the frame underneath. Cut new wood to fit in over the frame and got it matched up neatly. Found the floor covering I want to use, and got the ring pulls for the hatch access to the engine area. During that time, I had...

Same here!

I used to commercial fish in the gulf of Alaska. On our boats we had something called a deck pump, and it was a massive pump that you use a big (4-5 foot) steel bar to work, and it could move a lot of water in a hurry, without electricity in case of emergencies. I have one of these guzzler pumps...

Looks like a broken guzzler pump.

I got the 30, it has been fun catching up on some of the deferred maintenance of the previous owners. I'm still really excited though as I work my way down the list. I have it winterized, got the engine, and electrical, and plumbing systems all online. Found some damage to the interior due to...

My throttle cable is bent at the end and it popped off the lever on one side. I was able to get it back on but may have to look at replacing the cables. Anyone have any input about this fun project? Other than that things are going pretty good. I got the engine up and running, the plumbing tuned...

I recently purchased a Californian 30 LRC. So far I have gotten the engine up and running well, and gone through the plumbing and electrical. It all looks and functions pretty well but the previous owner hadn't finished connecting the windlass. Its a lofran condor and I'm having trouble finding...

Ghost; re: Previous owner That would be great info!

Here are a few before and after shots of the cockpit as I cleaned it, and I got the Bimini up. Took it down and found a cover for it. The boat is loving the extra attention. In the process of fixing up the v berth, I've gotten the ratty fabric out of there that was on the inside of the hull...

30 01 Oh man that sucks, I am so sorry that happened!

Just picked this up Ok I took the plunge. She has been sitting a year. Has a volvo-penta AD41P engine. I'm in the process of cleaning and figuring out how everything works. Thanks everyone for being such a cool forum. I will post pics of the progress!

30 Californian newbie I'm looking at a Californian 30 tomorrow, looks like it came here from Newport, Oregon. This was probably covered in a previous post so I will review, but there seems to be pretty scarce info/photos of these. Thanks for having me in the group.
