Re: Stus-List Route Planning and Uploading to Chart Plotter

Yes there is.  The US Power Squadron dropped CAPN for OpenCPN in their Senior 
Navigator Course.  I was partially completed in the course when my cataracts 
worsened and made fine work difficult.  I suspended course work until I was 
able to get Lasik surgery on both eyes.  

Now I have the option of reloading my older version of CAPN and completing the 
original course or upgrading to OpenCPN and following the new course. Having 
taught all squadron courses, I am partial to 
ComputerizedAmericanPracticalNavigator.  I was one of their first users, but 
it's gotten so complex and the functionality is being contested by many other 
technologies.  I don't want to go down a failing path.  Costs more in the long 
run.

So, cheap is good...

Re: Stus-List Zinc decay

2015-12-24 Thread Patrick Davin via CnC-List 
Since I just finished reading Nigel Calder's chapter on corrosion, I'll
take a crack at this.

Just speculating here, but do you have any other anodic metals that could
have been acting as anodes instead of your zincs before?  Ex, if you had
the prop painted with zinc chromate, I believe that could act as the anodic
zinc first. If that is used up now, it could explain why galvanic corrosion
moved on to your prop nut + shaft zincs.

Next thing I would worry about is stray current corrosion. I think of stray
current corrosion as like galvanic corrosion on steroids. A weak DC current
in the water can waste zincs hundreds of times faster than galvanic
corrosion. Stray current corrosion on a mooring would have to be coming
from your boat. It can be caused by things like a partial short in your
bilge water (ex, bad bilge pump). You can test for it with a silver/silver
chloride half cell (costs about $120) using the procedure in Nigel's book.

I forgot to mention one thing that might be related to the zinc problem.  
Mid-season, I hit a rock while racing. When the boat was pulled, the lead was 
exposed in an area of about 10 square inches.  Could that cause zinc corrosion? 
 I can see that could create current to the keel bolts, but how would it get 
from there to the zincs?  Dave

Re: Stus-List Zinc decay

2015-12-24 Thread Russ & Melody via CnC-List 


Hi David,

Normally zinc decay over the course of a year is attributed to 
galvanic corrosion, whereas stray current corrosion can happen 
rapidly and be very destructive. A change in Galvanic decay is 
usually associated with a change in underwater metals (new prop 
maybe) or area salinity.


Having said that... I suggest a review of these two primers and then 
inspect your bilge pump wiring very thoroughly looking for the 
slightest of corrosion and replace anything in the damp area that is 
suspect and NO JOINTS BELOW THE SOLE, please.

Re: Stus-List Zinc decay

2015-12-24 Thread Russ & Melody via CnC-List 


Hi David,

Lead is more noble than zinc (and slightly less noble than your prop 
& shaft). So, yes. A change in noble metal (increased lead surface 
exposure) by that amount can contribute to an increased loss of zinc.


We hope it's that simple.

Cheers, Russ

I forgot to mention one thing that might be related to the zinc 
problem.  Mid-season, I hit a rock while racing. When the boat was 
pulled, the lead was exposed in an area of about 10 square 
inches.  Could that cause zinc corrosion?  I can see that could 
create current to the keel bolts, but how would it get from there to 
the zincs?  Dave

Hi David,

Normally zinc decay over the course of a year is attributed to 
galvanic corrosion, whereas stray current corrosion can happen 
rapidly and be very destructive. A change in Galvanic decay is 
usually associated with a change in underwater metals (new prop 
maybe) or area salinity.


Having said that... I suggest a review of these two primers and 
then inspect your bilge pump wiring very thoroughly looking for the 
slightest of corrosion and replace anything in the damp area that 
is suspect and NO JOINTS BELOW THE SOLE, please.

season I could barely justify replacing them because there was so 
little metal decay.  I know of nothing I did differently this

2015-12-24 Thread Jimmy Kelly via CnC-List 
by chance did you buy current used up zincs from different place than
previously?  have found different zinc makers zincs... deteriorate at
different ratesfaster corroding are doing job best as far as
protection.zincs made in china seem to give least protection and in
some cases  show  little deterior change over as long as 3 years   not
much protection   best seem to be those   ,,made in canada  or usa,,
 although cost 10 to 15 percent more   ...if actually made in canada   will
be marked on zinc appears you get what you pay for  .

Re: Stus-List Proper Blower Installation - 30 mki

2015-12-24 Thread Gary Nylander via CnC-List 
I just went down to Penniless and looked at the blower system – it is about 70 
degrees here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland – Merry Christmas…..

 

We have 3 inch flex hose from the dorades to the engine area. One has a blower 
in-line – it is a metal unit (surprisingly not rusted after 35 years) which has 
the input hose coming into the center of the spiral and the output coming out 
of the ‘nozzle’ part. It is mounted through the support for the rudder post 
(behind the post) with the exhaust going up to the starboard dorade. The blower 
is labeled ‘high capacity’, but I couldn’t get any numbers off – maybe when I 
can climb down into the lazerette and stretch out back there… But the 
likelihood of finding a duplicate is slim.

 

There’s a similar unit in the West catalog.

 

Good luck, Gary

Subject: Stus-List Proper Blower Installation - 30 mki

 

Hey all, 

I'm looking for input on a good blower installation on my 1976 C 30 mki.  I'm 
almost through rewiring my entire boat and I'm up to replacing the blower.  I 
removed the the old unit because the fan motor was dead.  Judging by the look 
of it, it may have been original.  

The flexible hoses were connected to nothing, so I'm not exactly sure how it 
was originally hooked up.  Although I surmise it exhausted through one of the 
two dorade vents on the transom.  I assume the other dorade vent is used to 
just allow outside air into the engeine compartment - since there is nothing 
hooked up to that. 

I'm curious what the original blower/air inlet setup was on a 30 mki, and I'm 
I'm looking for the safest and most effective way to clear my engine 
compartment of gasoline fumes.  

Also, if anyone has opinions on the proper size (in CFM) of the blower(s) and 
the proper diameter of the flexible tubing I'd love to hear it.

 

Thanks!

Joel,

I am looking at OpenCPN for another reason, but it exports a .gpx file and I 
don't know what that is or what accepts it as an input.

Fred, 

What do you think of Raymarine RayTec  RNS Navigation Software?

Allen, 


Being the cheap SOB that I am, I run OpenCPN on my laptop, but I have never 
tried to transfer routes to my e7.  I also use the free Ray charts on the e7 
rather than the Navionics charts.  


Voyager does not look like it runs independent of the plotter - for that you 
would need RNS Navigation software.


Let me know which solution you go with.

  Next issue, what software to install.  For the past 20 years I've used CAPN 
for route planning and then just connected my laptop into the onboard GPS for 
cruising.

  Now I've upgraded to Raymarine E units on the pedestal and in the nav 
station.  Both are equipped with Navionics cards.

  I want to be able to construct routes here at home and upload them onto my E 
units.  I will take my Toughbook with its GPS dongle along, but that's for 
backup.

  Seems like I have three options:
1.. Reinstall latest and greatest version of CAPN 
2.. Install Raymarine Voyager 
3.. Install Navionics PC App
  I sense the technology moving away from large systems like CAPN toward mobile 
devices.  What's the best route looking forward or am I looking at a tech war 
in progress with no clear winner in sight?
