Aquarius Sail Owners

That is a great question! The demand for Carbon masts has steadily increased over the years which directly effects the demand for aluminum extrusions. Unfortunately the aluminum extruder we have historically used changed ownership and is no longer interested in pushing the long extrusion lengths nee...

I don't have any experience with the cradles from Murrays but I can tell you that the SC20 hull is quite a bit larger then the H20 (and most other beach cats). I can also tell you that most of the fiberglass cradles made for those boats are too narrow for the SC20 & ARC22. We do make three diffe...

Historically on the SC-20 we ran the mast between vertical and 5 degrees back when sitting on the beach. The dolphin striker post is sitting at 5 degrees so you can use a angle protractor / finder to compare the difference between the post and the front of the mast.

The rollers typically should not be able to rotate when fully seated. Depending on the vintage of the rudders and which molds they came out of some of the notches were a bit wider then ideal. In those circumstances we have been able to add a little fiberglass patch to buildup and reduce the width of...

Appears to me that the rollers and pin are bottoming out in the rudder casting and not seating properly in the rudder notch, thus answering the rudder to rock back and forth. It could be a couple of things, but I would be suspect of the pivot hole location. If this is the case the correct solution i...

I have not had a chance to read the entire publication but I don't think I would waste my time doing it. A couple of things to consider: It appears that all of the gains they talk about are around the 20-23 knot range. Pretty unlikely you will ever see 20 knots on 17 and even if you did it would onl...

Yes, for a few years in the late 80's / early 90's

I looked at the photos again and it "may" be a 19. 1) Those are the original Boston Whaler factory logos that say Super Cat 19. 2) If you look closely at the photo from the rear of the boat, the daggerboard trunk may be visible on the port hull. Really hard to tell 3) Some of the very firs...

I am 99% certain that is a SC17, not a 19...

Since 1989 the record for the lowest elapsed time in the Miami Key Largo race has been held by Bill Roberts and his son Eric on an RC-27 at 1 hour 44 minutes for the 42 mile course. This year the conditions were ideal to break the record and that is exactly what Eric attempted to do on the RC-30. Ev...

Looks good!

Steve,
I should mention that we do have manuals available for your SuperCat 17. If you give our parts office a call at 651-462-7245 they can help you out.

Steve, You definitely want to replace the stainless steel bolts in your rudder assemblies with the proper plastic shear pin. That is the cable traveler car in your photo. It mounts "upside down" with those small ears facing down. There should be a small pulley attached to those "ears&...

Hi Steve, Congratulations on your purchase. Regarding your questions: - I don't currently have a picture of the cable traveler car at my disposal but the "block with cleat" might be what your looking for. There is a conversion kit to go to a Harken traveler however be aware that depending ...

The grommets can be "peeled" apart using a good pair of side cutters. Setting the new ones requires the correct size die set for the grommet. Depending on the width of the batten pocket you might squeeze the punch inside there, otherwise​ you will need to split the pocket and the restitch ...
