Hello listers,
One of my 2 wire-rope jib halyards got โstuckโ doing a pre-start sail change
before a race last week. Wind was 18 knots and gusting so the sail was flogging
around a bit. Water was pretty flat due to offshore breeze so not a lot of
pitch/roll action of the boat.
Most of the wire
My hatch dogs are a mess - again. I think I have replaced them twice at
least :(
I decided not to pay a lot of money for threaded aluminum and plastic
knobs, so I ordered these: https://www.mcmaster.com/2434k47ย and these:

They fit and will probably last the
Listers,
Last year, I installed a Blue Sea battery monitor and Iโm a little perplexed
about the readings I am seeing.
Last night, before an amazing fireworks display at Hempstead Harbor (thanks to
fellow Lister Neal Gallagher for the guest mooring), I looked at the display.
Out of the 450 amp
Two possibilities:
1. It's possible that any loose wiring near the sheave at the top of the
mast is getting pulled into the sheave. It happened to me, and I had to
splice all the wires at the masthead. Try pulling the halyard back down.
Even a little will help. Then tension the wiring from where i
Hi Edd,
The battery voltage is only an indication of the state of charge of a
lead-acid battery when the battery has been without load (or charge) for
several hours. Otherwise, the voltage is pretty much meaningless. Many
devices measure the state of charge by noting the difference between th
Edd,
to add to what Gary said...
any measurement of the remaining capacity of the battery bank is tricky,
because it depends on how accurate your in- and out- meters are, what the
actual (current) total battery bank capacity is (it changes over time, never
up) and at what SoC (state of charge)
Hi Edd,
I agree with Marek and Gary about the voltage reading not being a reliable
indication of the state of charge. Here's an example from my boat. At noon
my battery bank is normally back to full charge and the voltmeter shows
14.01V, cool. A second later the fridge starts and the voltage drops
Sorry man you and your crew gonna have to figure that out. If me i would
not even ask here for that

Not sure what youre asking but no way did the power drain frim the dources
you report should cause a problem. Dont make new problems we got enough
with these great older C&C boats

Edd,
As I recall you are still on a mooring right? You're using the motor and
solar to keep the batteries "charged"? If so then it is unlikely that you
are ever really getting all the way 100% charged.
As others have mentioned the only good way to use voltage as a measure of
the state of charge
Arrgh! My brain hurts. ๐

I know Gary! You only had to read it! Imagine my difficulty, I had to
write it!

1984 29-2 stuffing box needs stuffing. What sizes should I get ? Is 1/4 the
approximate size?Bev___
