Re: Stus-List 33-2 rig inspection - what the heck are these bits used for?

Hi Dave, The fittings below the gooseneck look like excellent candidates for cunning-ham (spelling check mod, kinda cute) leads. The cleat below the boom was likely for outhaul or cheezy lazy-jacks gear. Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 09:39 AM 23/10/2016, you wrote: Hi

Re: Stus-List Inverter to Outlet Via Extension Cord?

Your basic "modified sine" cheap inverter has two hot connections, neither of which can be connected to ground. There is no "neutral". So long as you understand this, then ok. What it means is that if you connect to a single outlet as you describe, or to a string of outlets, what would

Re: Stus-List Choosing an anchor for a C 35 mkll

I would research so called "modern" anchors before building around a CQR. Rocna, Manta, and I think, Delta is a pre-modern model but similar. Supposedly performance is much better than the Bruce and plow. I have a 10kg bruce with 50' heavy chain plus 150' rode, sail out of whitby. Came with the

Re: Stus-List Choosing an anchor for a C 35 mkll

It all depends how much you need a good night rest while at anchor. Are you a dock person, or do you rent morrings, or do you drop a hook? My fried with the same boat put a 35lbs CQR with 5/16" chain. That boat is not going anywhere. But he doesn't have a windlass, so raising anchor is not his

Greg I have used a Delta Sure-set 35 exclusively for about 8 years. It has worked well from the Thousand Islands to the Bahamas. I have sat through storms with gusts to 50 kts. and never drug. I also carry a Bruce 45 and a Danforth 35 but am strongly thinking of removing them from the boat.

Stus-List Inverter to Outlet Via Extension Cord?

We have minimal inverter needs and would like to wire the 1000w inverter directly to a dedicated outlet. It does not have power outputs but two receptacles for plugs. I believe I can wire an extension cord to a outlet (assuming adequately rated and quality components), but I would like to

Re: Stus-List Slip Choice, backing in

I have wondered for a while why the 30-1 prop shaft is on the port side. My Gori 2 blade folding has excellent bite in reverse and the prop walk is to port. Having the shaft on port would give one the theory that the few degrees of offset would add to pulling the stern to port. The Goman Express

Andrew: My prop turns clockwise, therefore, when in reverse, the stern of the boat is initially pulled to 'port' until there is sufficient water flow over the rudder to gain steerage. Now add to that, my prop shaft is not centered, it is angled to 'port' a few degrees which accentuates the

Re: Stus-List Slip Choice

I think that, as Josh said, the whole thing depends on the property walk. However, if I have left/right and port/still. correctly, if your boat turns to port when reversing and you dock bow in, you want to be on the left side (looking out) of the fairway. This way, when you go out, you need to
