Since I could not find one that fits, still can't, I did go to the boat to measure just to be safe. Either Myron is wrong or Catalina modified later boats, mine is a 99', the height dimension was 9-7/8", not the 9-5/8" that Myron reported for his boat. Still the smallest height microwave I can fine is 10-1/8", too tall. I will go to some local stores that advertise this size to see if removing the rubber feet will make it work. I can replace them with thinner pads so that there is still air circulation beneath. If that does not work may consider getting the one I have repaired but certainly don't know where to go to have that done. The one on the boat now, which is a replacement for the original, is a Tappen, only 9-1/2" HIGH.

It has been my understanding that the opening on later boats is larger than on the early models. This is one reason why I had my microwave repaired rather than buy new. I couldn't find one that would fit. Later, there were a threads

on sources of new microwave ovens with smaller dimensions that would fit. Do a search on our archive on Google. There are a bunch of threads on "microwave"

Thanks to Myron on the dimensions, now need to find a microwave. It seems the tough part is the height, Myron says his opening is 9-5/8", the smallest microwave I can find anywhere is 10-1/8". Don't recall if I removed the rubber feet on the last replacement? This means I will have to go to the boat today after all. Too bad.
