Hi, I am new to the group. Looking to possibly purchase a Catalina 36. I came across a comment about 1997-2000 engines being recalled, but did not state what the problem was. Can anybody on this site give me the back story?
Also, I am a former owner of a Catalina 380, from 2001 to 2006. Was a fulltime liveaboard from 2004-2006. Was a great experience and a very good boat.
I have an older boat, but what you are asking about might be a problem discussed in this thread concerning failure on the cam shafts in certain models:

Thanks Matthew. I think this is what I was looking for.
