Re: Stus-List Florida... was Cabin Flourescent Light Fixtures
Great marina except for the no see ums. No tides, no extra liveaboard fees (but doesn't look/feel like a trailer park), great hurricane hole, and right across the river from the Canaveral locks for when you want to go outside. Bar food is good and it's cheap. Anyway, we're on E dock. We get down there every other month or so. Maybe we'll cross paths some day. :-) -Original Message- From: "S Thomas" Sent: 11/21/2015 7:48 PM To: "cnc-list@cnc-list.com" ; "Evan Morgan" Subject: Re: Florida... was Cabin Flourescent Light Fixtures Same marina!

Re: Stus-List Oil leak in M4-30
David I do exactly that on my M4-30. I use a small impeller drill pump. First I take the cap off the drain hose and feed the hose down lower towards the base of the oil sump and then forward as far as it will reach to where I attach the inlet hose to the drill pump directly to that drain hose, a snug friction fit that holds the vacuum created by the drill pump, about 1/2 inch inside diameter hose to the pump. I put the outlet hose from the pump into a 4 liter plastic used oil container. ...always run the engine first for several minutes to warm the oil which makes it flow easier...works real good and before removing the filter I make a drain tray by shaping several layers of old newspaper to fit neatly like a catch basin below the filter to catch the oil that always escapes when the filter is removed. That newspaper catch tray and a few strategically placed rags effectively catches the black used oil mess before it contaminates the bilge when removing the filter and that makes for a neat clean oil change. I also cover the cabin sole with newspaper in the areas close to where I am working just in case of spills and there always seem to be a few drops that escape regardless of how careful I am with disconnecting and packing up my drill pump gear for next time, and all that gear gets wrapped in old rags and newspaper and stored double bag in plastic until next time. I have been doing my oil changes this way for years with the same gear and I think I have pretty much perfected the process on my boat.

Re: Stus-List Keel repair
On a leading or trailing edge of a keel you need high strength material. A lightweight fairing compound won't work. I did some minor keel repair on Touche' a few years back. Just squaring off the trailing edge. I used epoxy thickened with colloidal silica. Microfiber thickener would have worked just as well. Both will cure to high strength. Dennis C.

Re: Stus-List Video of C&C 30 racing in Annapolis
Having raced for the past five years on a J-80 and on a Melges 24, having the crew in back is to get the bow up and help the boat onto a plane.

Re: Stus-List Keel repair
I have had the same experience that Russ describes with my car insurance- I enquired about the claim process for an incident (wind blew the spinnaker pole off the roof racks before I got it strapped down and it rolled off and took out the rear view mirror), did not file one, and they still recorded it in my record and added it to my list of insurance events. I should not have given them my name when I enquired. Also, I am well aware of the hull issues as I cracked the hull of my C&C 34 hitting a rock the first day out with the family after buying the boat. Great way to start my boat ownership experience. I have looked at the hull, the yard guy has looked at it and done some hammer tap testing and the hull appears sound. We were going pretty slow, so I was surprised at the amount of damage to the keel. I guess the kevlar reinforced hull of the 34+ is stiffer than the 34.

Re: Stus-List Video of C&C 30 racing in Annapolis
I was struck by the fact that with the chute up, the bobstay was constantly throwing up spray which to me means it is like adding a brake to the bow. Probably not a big issue on a boat of this size, but on a dinghy it would be slow. On another boat, the entire crew was standing near the transom, presumably trying to keep the bow high which I would guess was for the same reason. It would leave me concerned about the balance of the boat with that monster chute up.

Re: Stus-List Oil leak in M4-30
Hi Chuck- I think I have the drain fitting so it is not leaking. It would be really nice when I want to do an oil change if I could hook up a vacuum pump to the brass fitting on the end of the hose to pump the oil out. Have you seen anything that will do that? My pump has nylon tubing and no end fittings and no way I can see to add a threaded attachment.

I was disappointed as well. Nice video and boat, but I will stay with my original C&C 30 and be happy, Rick SeaGoose Gloucester Sent from my iPad > On Nov 19, 2015, at 4:08 PM, Ronald B.
