Re: Stus-List Water pressure problem
I use an air compressor to clear my freshwater lines for the winter. Depending on the location / size of your access port on the tank, you may be able to get an air compressor nozzle in the tank end of the water line and after disconnecting the pump end, blow out any obstruction from the line, or blow it out the other direction -- Jonathan - indigo 35III On Aug 7, 2012, at 13:14, Walt Dickie wa...@crresearch.com wrote: My CC 110 has two water tanks, one under the port settee and one in the v-berth. A valve under the sink in the galley allows me to turn the supply from each tank on and off, but with the exception of the 6 or 8 of tubing exposed at the valves almost all of the rest of the plumbing for the system is really difficult to get at. The outlets at the tanks themselves are at the base of the tanks and are completely inaccessible with the tanks in place. At the beginning of the season no water would flow from the port tank using either the pressure system or the foot pump, which seems to be connected directly to the tank or its outlet line. I didn't care too much about this since we don't usually use much onboard water and the forward tank seemed to be working fine. But since I couldn't easily drain the part tank, I left the water in it. Yesterday out of idle curiosity I turned on the port tank, turned off the forward one, and used the foot pump. Water unexpectedly gushed out. When I turned on the pressure system it came on and ran continuously, which it doesn't do when getting supplied from the forward tank, and although water now comes out of the tap the flow is feeble. The flow from the foot pump seems normal. It feels as though there was some kind of blockage in the supply line from the port tank and that the blockage has somehow been reduced. I drained the port tank today while I could, but now I'm wondering about a fix -- some what to clear the blockage, if that's what it is. I don't want to rip the water tanks out to get to the supply lines, but it seems like it would be worth some effort to clear them. I've never dealt with the boat's plumbing system before so I'm clueless. Suggestions?

Stus-List Starting problems
I just developed intermittent electrical starting problems on my 1984 CC 32 with a 2GMF engine. I assume it is either the starting push button switch or the Solenoid and an off to the boat to investigate and hopefully confirm prior to a one week cruise starting this weekend. The engine control panel is a Type B and I was wondering if anyone knew the make and/ or part #'s of a compatible push button switch and starting Solenoid. Thanks you in advance for any answers/suggestions. John Arpeggio Norwalk,CT ___ This List is provided by the CC Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
Re: Stus-List Starting problems
John, the solenoid part number is 124250-77310 . Torrensen has them. Good luck! They probably have the switch as well.

Re: Stus-List Starting problems
Here is a remote starter switch: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009XQUKW/?tag=hyprod-20hvadid=15470396379hvpos=1o1hvexid=hvnetw=ghvrand=168824207439294199hvpone=hvptwo=hvqmt=ref=asc_df_B0009XQUKW Not much to it. I'm sure you can pick up something similar at any auto parts store.

Likely problem areas, poor connection or connector on the positive wire from the starter switch, poor connection in the harness connector, poor connection or connector at the solenoid. Same for all negative wires. First, make sure you're getting a reliable 12 volts to the input of the ignition switch. If so, I would first replace the connector on the positive wire on the starter switch. Use a marine grade connector and coat both the connection and connector with USS TefGel and re-attach. If that doesn't fix it, test the switch several times with an ohmmeter. It should work immediately each try. If it doesn't replace it. Next, pull the engine harness connector apart, spray it with Boeshield T-9 (not WD-40), push it back together and pull it apart several times. See how that works. If it works, pull it apart, coat the connections with USS TefGel, put it back together and tape the mating surfaces. Next, replace the connector on the positive wire at the solenoid.
