Re: Stus-List Starting a Universal
Dave, Calypso has a different engine but does have a 3 blade MAX prop. We just finished a haul out. When the bottom was pressure washed and I was turning the prop (and shaft) to inspect it the worn out cutlass (prop shaft) bearing failed in a way that was jamming the shaft. Bits of the rubber part of the cutlass bearing were peeling off and rolling up. A test without SCUBA gear would be to rotate the shaft from inside. With the engine off and the reduction gear in neutral the shaft should rotate by hand. After we replaced Calypso's cutlass bearing and re-aligned the engine/shaft I was easily able to rotate it with one hand. If you are new to MAX props check out the PYI Inc. web site for maintenance information, or ask a follow up question.

Re: Stus-List Starting a Universal
I must say that I have the same engine and when I realized I never got the proper RPMs, I checked the main shaft with a tachometer and found my tach was reading half the RPMs. I made a change on a selector on the Tach to get it closer to actual RPMs. 1) Loose Belt? The indicated RPM is generated by the alternator. The engine may be running fine while a loose belt will indicate low RPMs. If the engine runs and no RPMs indicated, the belt is broke. Check the belt to be sure it is tight. The sheaves are pretty close so no more than a belt width of flex is acceptable. Make sure the sheaves themselves are clean, no slippery surface. 2) Throttle lever blocked? With the engine stopped, check the throttle lever at the engine for full movement. It is remotely possible that something is jambing the lever. Look along the starboard side front of engine, above the water pump, for a lever with a control cable attached. You should be able to move the lever fairly easily. Next, start the engine and operate the throttle lever manually and increase speed from idle to full speed.

Re: Stus-List New genoa sheets soft shackles
I have loops at the end of the jib sheets with a soft shackle mating the jib sheets and clew. Works great!

Re: Stus-List 35-1 galley down light
Dennis, If your winch access panel is white translucent plastic, like mine, you could just wire an LED array up inside and let it shine down through the panel. I know a guy who made his own using a piece of perf board when packaged lights were harder to get. I thought it looked good. There was no evidence of a light being there until you turned it on. These ones look interesting, which appear to have proper drivers and are not expensive. What I bought was just an array of LEDs wired series parallel, but it worked fine in the nasty old and yellowed plastic fixtures on my 27. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/20-T10-194-921-168-W5W-24-1210-SMD-LED-Warm-White-RV-Landscaping-Light-Lamp-Bulb-/161045293312?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item257f0c2900&vxp=mtr -Steve Thomas ___ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
Stus-List Fw: 35-1 galley down light
Let the games begin!!!

Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At 12:32 PM 27/07/2013, you wrote: Started a new project today. Ken's pics of his really nice overhead down lights got me thinking. The galley light in the 35-1 is tucked under the deck so it doesn't provide much light for the sink. Directly above the sink is a winch access panel. Would it be possible to mount a down light in the panel? Two questions immediately popped up. First, can I get a wire in there? Second, can I find a light that will fit the shallow space? I've answered the first question. After several attempts, I managed to fish a messenger string into the space. A fish tape wouldn't work. I worked a coat hanger from the access between the headliner and cabin roof down the curved corner of the cabin roof to pop out under the forward part of the cockpit coaming. I might have to pull a small wire like AWG 16 but I'll be using an LED light so no biggie. I've measured the space and it's only 1 inch deep because of some added deck strengthening. If I can't find a 1 inch deep LED down light I can always make a bezel trim to add to the access panel. Anybody found a good one? Needs to be 2 inch diameter or less. I also need to determine how and where to put the switch if there's not one on the fixture. Dennis C.

Stus-List Fw: Fw: HELP aluminum bolt
Thanks Graham I’ve already order a hex head. I do a little filing and maybe cut a slot with the hack saw. Sitting a the Brockville Yacht club.

All I could do was drill it out. Now I’m having difficulty finding a replacement. I called Edson and they advised me that they no longer carry the 6” bolt. Thanks C&C for making an extra heavy cockpit sole. So does anyone know where I can source a flat head 1/2” X 6” (5” would work) aluminum bolt. If a pinch I would use a stainless.
