Re: Stus-List helm seat
nice job Joel...I went the other way and made a removable helmsman stand on the sole behind the wheel (used jatoba and raised the sole by 4.5 inches...it also covers the exposed rudder stock...the 35MKII does not have the camel bump seat as some other designs do but with a cushion it is possible to sit comfortably on the aft cockpit coaming and steer the boat, especially when steaming...while under sail I prefer sitting to leeward where I can see my leeward jib ticklers and get protection from the elements...the 36 inch wheel makes steering while seated on the leeward cockpit coaming easy on my 35MKII...proper positioning of a horseshoe life ring and life sling on the pushpit; one each side, double as cushions for my back Dwight Veinot CC 35 MKII, *Alianna* Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS d.ve...@bellaliant.net On Sun, Nov 23, 2014 at 1:52 PM, Joel Aronson via CnC-List cnc-list@cnc-list.com wrote: I've been building a new helm seat to replace the standard CC seat that is too high for my wife and generally uncomfortable.

Re: Stus-List Using 12v trickle charger to test components?
No, don't even try it. Battery chargers do not need to supply smooth DC in order to do their job and very few do, especially trickle chargers. The only safe way to use a battery charger to power 12 volt electronics is with a battery hooked up to the charger. The battery smoothes out the ripple.

Re: Stus-List Using 12v trickle charger to test components?
As others have stated, it depends on the power requirements of the component but I wouldn't do it. The trickle charger has to put out more than 12v to charge the batteries so you run the risk of too much voltage and not enough current. As an alternative...Years ago I would charge batteries for RC cars from a 12v auto battery. To keep the auto battery charged I would attach a 10amp battery charger that plugged into the wall. This arrangement is quite similar the way backup power supplies work as well as the way most of our shore power charger/battery/12v circuits work on the boat. Lawn and garden (U1) batteries are cheap ($30) and perfect for a project like this. Or maybe you already have an old 12v sitting around. Even a motorcycle battery would be big enough for just about everything except an inverter, a radar, or a anchor windlass.

Danger Will Robinson: Some battery chargers are designed to be stand-alone power supplies. Most are not. If your charger does not specifically say it can be used this way, do not try it.

Re: Stus-List keel bolts
Yes - having cracks through the bottom of the boat is not a trivial thing to fix. A friends boat had an issue like this that was repaired in a quickie put-epoxy-on-it manner and it opened up while he was out. That trip was not fun :( His crack was above the keel, so we could get at it with the keel on. We ground it out and added layers of glass and epoxy outside and then did the same on the inside. I can't say it is perfect, but it is about 500 times stronger than the last repair. Also you might want to make SURE that is where the water coming from. I would shop vac and towel dry the bilge and watch it very carefully. The 35 MK I and II keel structure is pretty strong and I would say cracks through the boat aren't common.

Re: Stus-List Using 12v trickle charger to test components?
For testing i usually use a "power in a bucket" i.e. a portable 12 v battery/booster with a 12 V socket. Mine is from Canadian Tire, but that does not matter. As a bonus you can use it to start the engine, in an emergency. I have built an accessory plug with alligator clips on the pigtails that can be attached to anything. Works well on and off the boat.

Stus-List LCDI VS ELCI
I installed a galvanic isolator, which does a couple of things I like. It allows the earth ground in a 3 wire system to remain in contact, but if I get a short to ground it will open. The threshold is low, so it will prevent any trickle voltage, the primary evil in galvanic corrosion, when utilizing shore power. A GFCI is designed to protect the user of a piece of equipment that has metal casing. As the internal winding and insulation break down over time, and they do, the possibility of shorting to the case increases. Decades ago they were referred to as case grounds. The GFCI will sense this and open. They have specific devices for appliances. There are several solutions to protecting the boat, surround water and living creatures from short and arc. There is GFPE, LCDI, EGFPD, ALCI, GFCI, AFCI, IDCI Look at this site and down load the PDF. http://www.ul.com/global/documents/corporate/aboutul/publications/newsletter s/electricalconnections/january09.pdf I am the process of chasing wires on my new to me boat. I have rewired 4 houses I have purchased, over the past 15 years, because so many backyard electricians give it a try. I have seen every method of incorrect wire connection possible. Even putting a light switch in the shower, really, in the shower, behind the shower curtain. I have found a couple of mistakes on my boat so far. Someone taped the shore ground wires to the fuel supply line, this cannot be a good thing to do. Couple of outlets wired with the polarities reversed. So I am going to check it all out, bow to stern. -Original Message- From: cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com [mailto:cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com] Sent: Monday, November 24, 2014 1:04 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: CnC-List Digest, Vol 106, Issue 67 Send CnC-List mailing list submissions to cnc-list@cnc-list.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com You can reach the person managing the list at cnc-list-ow...@cnc-list.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than Re: Contents of CnC-List digest...

Re: Stus-List LCDI VS ELCI
Oh yeah. My wife and I do volunteer medical mission work up in the mountains of the DR and we stay in the homes of the community. Many, but not all, of them have those shower heads as described. Standing in water with the possibility of some 120VAC current adding a bit to the experience gives one pause. But given that they only work when the electrical service is online, which is about 25% of the time, it’s mostly a nice cold shower… Cheers, Dave Godwin 1982 CC 37 - Ronin Reedville - Chesapeake Bay Ronin’s Overdue Refit http://roninrebuild.blogspot.com/ On Nov 24, 2014, at 7:04 PM, Steve Staten via CnC-List cnc-list@cnc-list.com wrote: I was in Paraguay last April and the shower head in an old hotel in Conception had an electrical heating element in it.

Re: Stus-List CnC-List Digest, Vol 106, Issue 66
in the bilge was a bit salty and the mild steel plates below the keel bolts were badly corroded so I replaced some of the plates with some 3/8 316SS. I cleaned out the bilge and watched. When I removed the bolts, one at a time :-) there was no seepage around the bolts - a good sign I think. However there are some cracks in the sump area between the keel bolts and these are seeping water at about 100ml/day. I didn't go out for a sail so assume there would be more water ingress when the keel is under some stress. Is there some way to seal these cracks without dropping the keel? What is the thickness from the bottom of the bilge to the top of the keel stub? Can I just pour some epoxy in the the sump area? Thanks!!
