Hi .you mentioned that the installer suggested using the 54” piece rather than individual pieces. Can you elaborate on that? Is he suggesting that you put a large piece in the “ joining” track thus elimination 2 layers of extra fabric? When I did it I could only work 6” at a time without...

Headliner track [ATTACH] Thanks for the reply. I plan on sampling the track to see if it’s a better alternative. The photo which is sideways is the ceiling of a Mainship Pilot 30 Rum Runner. It was a major struggle joining pieces together and required serious physical effort to insert the...

Hi.. I recently replaced the headliner on a friends Mainship 30 Pilot and struggled with the center track and how difficult it was to work with. I’ll be replacing my headliner on my 34 Pilot and thought new track might be easier to work with. Can anyone provide a resource to purchase new track...

Hammer.. The 34 Pilot and the 390 are different species. Sorry .. I have no experience with your model. Hopefully someone else on the forum can steer you towards a solution. Jeff

Wiper delay Thank you Rich... Am I correct in assuming you’d need another unit for the port wiper? Also to be clear... operating sequence is as follows... 1- Turn on rocker 2- Flip on on/off switch 3- Adjust time delay Thanks for sharing this.. Best, Jeff

Hi Rich.. I’d like to use this mod on my 34’ Pilot since it rides wet quite often in Nantucket Sound. I understand the wiring plan buTneed further info on the 6mm universal joints and how they are used. Thanks for the help. Jeff G Mainship 34 Pilot Jubilant

Sliding door My boat is a 2001 Pilot 34 Hard Top. The shroud is held in place with screws which are easily accessible. The joint is caulked to keep things water tight. Since the upper track must be loosened to slide the door out, the shroud/cover needs to come off. Take a look at the diagram of...

I replaced the upper rollers last year and found the exact replacement “trucks” from Boat Outfitters. These rollers are available in three sizes. I first removed the shroud to access the door and loosened the upper track to identify what roller was needed. The wheels on mine has totally...

Recently installed new 8d battery. I slid a section of 1 1/2” closet pole thru the two handles. With the help of a friend, us two geezers were able to move the beast around without injuring ourselves or the boat. I also brought a hand saw with me to trim the pole in case it was needed.

Hi Guys.. I'm just getting familiar with my new ( to me) 2003 34 Pilot which came with the 5.0 NexGen generator. The owners manual mentions holding the preheat for 10-20 seconds and then start. There is no preheat button on the boat .One switch is on-off the other is start -stop. Is there a...

I'm installing a radar unit on my 34 Pilot and have had a relatively easy time fishing cable through the cabin top and down the starboard chase and can't get any further. When I run a wire fish from the helm to the corner in either direction I haven't had success. What is the best way to tackle...

I have noticed brownish water weeping at the rear base of the Pilot House where the side wall joins the desk at the very rear of the structure. I've rebed roof rails and don't believe water is getting in. There is a caulked joint along the cabin sides and wonder if rainwater is getting in...

Hello..The previous owner slathered silicone at the stanchion bases of the deck railing and I would like to clean up the mess and bed them properly. Can anyone tell me how the stanchions are fastened? Are they thru bolted with backing plates? If so, how can the accessed without removing cabinets...

Breakers Thanks for the replies! The wire size is appropriate appropriate for a 15 amp breaker.. I'm just being fussy and would like all switches on the panel to match. I think they might be an older version of a Blue Seas breaker but would like to find the exact replacement if still available...

Hello...I'm looking to replace two undersized breakers on my 2001 Mainship 34 pilot. I'd like to replace them with the identical mfg. can anyone identify what brand they are? Blue Seas? Ancor? Also need to replace one red light on the panel and am not sure who makes those too. Thanks for your...
