My 1988 Adler Barbour unit (air cooled) just gave out.
Seeing as how it has lasted since 1988 that gives me a good feel for the quality of the units. I understand they are far better with less...

My 88 PSC 34 has had no blisters at all.
A friend with an 89 had blisters shortly after purchase and the factory did the repairs.

Hi Paul,

I am not down at the boat at the moment so I couldn't tell you the model but it is a Raymarine.
It was already installed on my boat when I bought it.
The corepack is fairly large. Much...

Hi Paul,

I have a PSC 34' so I can't speak specifically to the application in a 31'.
However I had an above deck Raymarine ST4000 wheel pilot for my Cal 34'.
I'm pretty sure it was an ST4000 or...

Anchor chain combo

Hello to all,

First I am not trying to start any debate on anchoring as I know how that can evolve. I am curious as to the anchor / chain combo people are using on their PSC 34's like I have.

This is all very good info.

Replacing the old Adler/Barbour fridge

Hi all,

I'd imagine this subject has been brough up somewhere in the archives but I'm hoping for more specific advice for my PSC 34 ice box.

I need to replace the original Adler Barbour...

Skeel Keel

Rain Dog,

I wondered the same thing with regard to the skeel Keel vs fuel tank capacity.

But if I was the boat designer I'd try to make the entire keel to hull attach geometry the same from one...

Bob,

I WAS suprised by the number of "28 Gallons" as for some reason I have been thinking all along that my tank held 35. I may have found that number in an old add or yachtworld add of some...

Thanks to all

Sure is nice being able to ask the crowd a question and get so many good answers. Sounds to me like .6 to .7 gph is a reasonable number to use.

Thanks to Bob for the nice graph showing the...

Motoring range for a 34' with 3GM35F

Hi all,

I'm always reminding myself to take note of the distances I've clocked while motoring and correlate it with fuel burn but I always forget as I'm too excited just to get out on the boat.

Installing a dedicated oil change pump

In the interest of making another dreaded chore less of a drudgery I am considering installing a dedicated oil change pump. Most likely plumbed to the oil drain plug at the bottom of my 3GM35F.

Stripping your bottom paint

My 34 is a 1988 and I'm faced with the same dilemna. The only way in my mind where I can justify stripping down to the gelcoat is if I have areas that are already barren of paint or I am going to...

Thanks to all.
I'm leaning towards Paul's approach. A boom furled main seems like a safer approach given the ability to drop the sail if the furler seizes. Reefing seems like it would be a...

Furled Mainsail on a PSC 34'
