PDQ OWNERS FORUM

So my 2005 has the raw water intake strainer mounted reverse and a section cut out on the forward section. Why? If mounted as the manufacturer says the water would be forced into the raw water thru hull increasing water flow to the engine....any ideas why the manufacturers did this? I have seen this...

We use the clean way fuel filter and this eliminates the mess with the “burping “ problem.

Welcome Jason.
We live don here on Long Island. We own a PDQ 34 Powercat.
Feel free to ask any questions.

I cleaned and sprayed a rust inhibitor ( the type that turns the rust into a hardened metal) . That has held us for the last 5 years no problems.
I don’t think the 18 is enough during our Bahamas trips can’t see why you would go down?

If it is working clean and spray....wait till it goes.

Welcome
For the windows I start the season with clay cleaning ,then polish and then seal. I used Griots products for both the boat and cars.

I live on the south shore of Long Island and have made the trip many times. Coinjock faster than dismal swamp. Norfolk VA. To Cape May ( or Atlantic City ) on the outside. Then Cape May Home to Jones Beach inlet then inside to great South Bay. We have done the Cape May to Jones Beach In 5-6 foot wav...

We miss not having an oven to cook.....any suggestions as to a countertop type or are you just using the microwave.
If you installed a microwave / convection oven how did you handle the heat of the oven in the original installation spot?

There are two black switches unmarked under the parallel a&b breaker any idea what they are for?

Changed my whimpy horn today with a Two trumpet, 125 db, 12 volt horn manufactured by Viking Horns. Mounting holes lined up great with original holes...easy hook up and sounds like a real TRUCK HORN.

Bought on sale from Amazon for $79. Down from $139. All stainless steel and made for marine.

How do you attach your flag to the “mast” by the radar unit. Pictures would help. Thanks

We always wanted the 41 but purchased the 34 as preparation into the Power Catamaran world.
We bought the PDQ because of the highest quality compared to other manufacturers.

The feedback during the manufacturing of newer models is evident!
We would be the first in line for a new model!

Thanks for the update. Ordered mine today!

Not near the boat.. what size did you get

Best of health to you and your families.
Happy New Year.

I agree with James, it sounds like it ran out of fuel. You should start by recalibrating the fuel gauge.Use the stick method and do full ,1/2 and 1/4.
Even with fuel in the tank boat trim could have all the fuel in the back of the tank.
