Re: Stus-List bearing removal tool

I am trying to remove it undamaged because it seems to be an odd size.

Josh, thanks for the input.
I will keep working at it.

Re: Stus-List replacing cockpit drain thru hulls 30 MK1

2016-02-26 Thread Peter Fell via CnC-List
I think finding bronze NPS (straight) threaded ball valves is a difficult task. 
For example, every single valve sold by Defender is NPT (taper).

Joe;

 

The bad news is I don’t believe that anyone makes the flush thru hulls used on 
our classic C&Cs anymore. All the ones I have seen are a smaller OD than the 
recesses in our hulls.

 

The good news is that you rarely need to replace a bronze thru hull. You just 
need one of the thru hull step wrenches shown on page 118 of the Buck Algonquin 
catalog and a strong helper to hold the step wrench on the outside of the boat 
while you remove the old valve from the threads of the existing thru hull from 
inside the hull. (you can also buy one at Lowes or Home Depot, but it is called 
a plumber’s step wrench or something similar)

 

Both my boats came with brass gate valves on most of the thru hulls, instead of 
proper seacocks. When I got my 25, back in 1994, I launched into replacing the 
gate valves, starting with the cockpit scuppers. I screwed up both the thru 
hulls because of my ignorance, and had a heck of a time finding a flush thru 
hull to replace the ones I had to cut out of the hull. 

 

I finally found a pair of thru hulls at a chandlery in NJ, across the river 
from Philly – a place sort of like an OLD hardware store with lots of out of 
date hardware in stock. (Don’t you love poking around in those sort of places?) 
And the guy at the chandlery explained how you are supposed to get the old 
valve off the thru hull without damaging the thru hull. Once I bought the 
wrench, replacing all the valves was pretty straight forward.

 

BTW, the thru hulls should be bronze, not brass. And the seacocks should be 
either bronze or Marlon. You don’t want to use brass if you are in salt or 
brackish water. Thru hulls come with straight threads. So do proper seacocks. 
Most of my thru hulls were clamped to the wood backing plates with a nut, so I 
did not have to use seacocks with a flange on them. But I have learned that 
ball valves intended for plumbing come with tapered threads, so I had to make 
sure I ordered ball valves with straight threads that matched the threads on 
the thru hull.

Here is an old photo showing a keel bolt about 6-8” from the mast. Is your’s 
like this? Is there another bolt under that mast? 
I am hoping to try to avoid pulling the mast as that opens a whole can of worms 
of things I should/could do while the mast is down.

Re: Stus-List replacing cockpit drain thru hulls 30 MK1

2016-02-26 Thread Peter Fell via CnC-List
We just had a discussion here on the listserv early February on exactly the 
same question for exactly the same boat. So I’d suggest searching your inbox 
(or archives) for that thread.

But I’ll reiterate my experience when I did this a couple years ago on my 27 
... I didn’t find any flush mount thru-hull that had the same size flange and 
my existing ones were not in a condition that I wanted to reuse them. So, yes, 
I epoxy-filled the ‘cups’ left behind by the old flush-mounts and installed 
Groco mushroom-style thru-hulls and matching ball valves. I used marine plywood 
for the backing plates, shaped to fit the curvature of the hull and 
epoxy-coated. Bedded in Sikaflex 291 (think that was the one).

At the time I did not go the route of using the matching Groco flange adapter 
bases with either studs (requires a fiberglass backing plate) or through-bolt 
(can use wood backing plate) but the Groco thru-hulls are tapered threads so 
that you get a decent amount of thread engagement with the valve. I don’t think 
thru-hulls from most other manufacturers are tapered so you might be running 
with only 2 or 3 threads of engagement. Same potentially for the original C&C 
thru-hulls.

I may actually go back and retro-fit with the flange adapters for the cockpit 
drains and engine intake since they are in the area of the boat most prone to 
potential damage, that the much more robust flange adapter would protect 
against.

Good resource is the pbase articles from compass marine.

Another thing I didn’t do  install a stainless Zerk Grease Gun Fitting 
(1/8-27 thread) on each valve (there’s a drain hole on the Grocos). This let’s 
you grease the ball valves without pulling the boat. Groco recommends using Dow 
Corning MolyCote 111 (silicone based) – that’s what they use in the factory.

on a delivery and found a couple of products on the market. The pet odor stuff 
we found at Walmart and it really did the trick, actually got rid of rather 
than masked the smell.

I have an odor of diesel in all of my cushions. It is not a strong smell, when 
you first go below it is more revelent - after you are there for awhile it is 
not as bad. If anyone has had a similar problem and solved the issue, I would 
love to know how. Obviously, a total replacement would work. The Admiral 
refuses to sleep on the boat because of the odor. I have taken the cushions off 
for the winter and steam cleaned one and sprayed it with Fabreeze, not much 
different.
