Re: Stus-List Throttle Cable Adjustment

[Dave via CnC-List]

Bingo, saddle clamp in locker.  Couldn't believe it when I first saw it, seems 
crude.  Mine is fairly tight and always left me wondering if two (each less 
tight) would be preferable.  Can't help thinking there's got to be a better 
way

There should be a saddle clamp on the throttle cable inside the STBD cockpit 
locker, near the companionway. Tighten it down to provide more resistance in 
the cable. I have seen several C 33ii boats with this and I know the tartan 
35 has the same config. I suspect this was an Edson solution.

Lee,

 

I have a small clamp over my throttle cable that keeps it from slipping.  It 
needs a tweak every couple years, but is very reliable and cheap.

Having an issue with my throttle cable not staying at RPM above 2,000.  It 
falls right after I let go. I can set it higher when moving it at the engine, 
but not at the helm.  How does one adjust the cable on a 1985 C 33-2?  Or is 
there a way to oil the cable?  PO used a bungee cord to hold it at higher RPM.

 

Thanks,

Re: Stus-List Head Foil Feed Funnel

[Sam Wheeler via CnC-List]

Yeah, sounds like it might have been getting to that point.  Maybe better
for it to fail on a hoist than underway in heavy air, too.

In my case, amazingly, it turned out the pole was fixable with a fiberglass
collar around the break.  The owner was surprisingly calm about the whole
thing.  Apparently he had switched from a metal pole to carbon specifically
so that an incident like that would break the pole rather than bring the
rig down.

Ouch is right :) That was about a $500 lesson, but who knows how much longer a 
44-year old extruded plastic luff support system would have lasted anyway. It 
had some other visible deterioration. But probably not as expensive a lesson as 
replacing a carbon fiber spin pole :)

Re: Stus-List Throttle Cable Adjustment

[Kevin Driscoll via CnC-List]

I tried adjusting the friction screw on our 30-2 edson and resorted to
bungee after not finding the sweet spot...if there is one.

   - Without the bungee, the throttle settles back to about 2400rpm, but
   doesn't go lower than that.
   - Lower throttle positions stay where I leave them.
   - I need the bungee to hold it at 2800-3200rpm. The bungee won't speed
   it up, even from idle, but it adds resistance so that it won't slip back
   either.

The small bungee works surprising well and I would *almost* never advocate
for redneck engineering solutions.

Re: Stus-List solar power setup...again.

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

A flexible panel like this looks like it will fit.  To add to the genasun
recommendations.  Most controllers require a solar panel with an output
voltage greater than that of the battery it is charging.  Genasun makes an
8 amp boost model that will "turn on" and start making charge current as
soon as the panel is putting out 5 volts.

We sleep head aft.  I was hesitant too but it doesn't really seem to have
made much difference.  The foam is squishy enough that your head room stays
pretty much the same.  The original foam is pretty hard by comparison.  As

Re: Stus-List Throttle Cable Adjustment

[Chuck Gilchrest via CnC-List]

Lee,

The solution Edson came up with to overcome the return spring on the throttle 
rack is to drill and tap a ¼”x20 hole in the engine control boss (on model 816 
and 870 controllers) and install a set screw that bears down on the delrin 
sleeve that the throttle lever shaft rides through.  This provides enough 
friction to keep the cable in place.  I believe it became a standard item 
sometime in the mid nineties.  In their instructions 

 , it is referred to as a throttle friction adjuster.  Morse 33 cables are not 
able to be lubricated.  They have an inside Teflon jacket which allows the 
solid wire cable to move inside the cable assembly.  If there were a means of 
lubing the cable, it would only tend to make your cable slip inside the jacket 
at ALL RPMs.

 

Because Half Magic, my 1983 LF35 has a model 727 engine control (with the two 
SS tubes that sit aft of the pedestal and engine controls up and down on either 
side of the pedestal), the builder or PO installed an external cable clamp 
outside the cable below deck where the clamp could actually crimp down on the 
cable jacket creating friction.  Seems to work so far, but I’m sure it isn’t 
the best overall for cable longevity.

I’ll try to dig up a photo of it next time I’m on the boat.

Re: Stus-List Throttle Cable Adjustment

[Indigo via CnC-List]

My 35-3 (1983) Edson pedestal contains a bolt that applies pressure on the part 
of the throttle lever inside the pedestal. I did away with an external cable 
clamp as the clamp had over time broken the cable outer sleeve causing the 
cable to rust up and jam. The downside to the bolt in the pedestal is that I 
have to take off the compass housing to get at it in order to make adjustments.

There should be a little clamp on the cable - can be tightened which
squeezes the cable and keeps it from falling.

Stus-List Throttle Cable Adjustment

[Lee Rosenbaum via CnC-List]

Having an issue with my throttle cable not staying at RPM above 2,000.  It
falls right after I let go. I can set it higher when moving it at the
engine, but not at the helm.  How does one adjust the cable on a 1985 C
33-2?  Or is there a way to oil the cable?  PO used a bungee cord to hold
it at higher RPM.

I agree completely with the benefit of Genusun controllers.  I have 3 GV-10's.  
Also, Fred is absolutely correct about the very high voltage produces by solar 
panels.

Re: Stus-List solar power setup...again.

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

David,

It is prudent.

I managed to kill my battery with a 10 W panel (to a 80 Ah battery).

A good controller is is worth every penny (it would save your batteries, so 
that they would last longer).

A Genasun GV 4 (or GV-5) would fit the bill (at $65 (or $75) – and those are 
MSRPs, you can get them cheaper).

I built an adjustable frame for mine from PVC pipe for about $15. This allows 
it to more directly face the sun and the frame collapses so I can store it, 
with the panel attached, below.

FWIW--it took less than an hour to build and glue the frame. Go the idea from a

Re: Stus-List solar power setup...again.

[Frederick G Street via CnC-List]

David — you need a controller!  The open-output voltage under full sunlight of 
many panels is too high for your batteries; and if you get an MPPT controller, 
you’ll get good charging even under less-than ideal sunlight conditions, where 
the panel voltage is generally too low to charge without the controller.

I don’t know what type of solar panel is used in the video but my Solbian

David,

A word of caution keeping it on your companionway hatch — the slightest shadow, 
like from your boom, will cut the effectiveness of the panel to close to zip. I 
have mine there, but if I was to do it again, I’d find a way to mount it on the 
stern where the panel will never be in the shadows. Watch this:

not slide open.   
  
  Anybody find a setup that might work that is not one of those 
 cheapo packaged units?
  
  Thanks in advance.

Subject: Re: Stus-List solar power setup I purchased a 65watt mono panel with 
charge controller and cables from these 
guys:http://stores.ebay.ca/solarenergydcinc/All told IIRC it was $250 CAD, 
maybe $300. Not a lot of money when talking boat stuff. That was back in 2013. 
The setup has served very well. People are right to recommend a quality MPPT 
charge controller but I found the return on investment when dealing with sub 
100 watt panels to be minimal and not worth it. At the time a cheap PWM 
controller is what came with my kit and it has been fine now for over 2 
seasons. It also has useful features like an LCD screen that shows how many 
amps I'm generating, the entry level morningstar controllers don't do that. I 
spent money on nice fittings for my bimini to mount the thing and I'm glad I 
did because take down and setup in fall and spring are easy and the mounting is 
very secure.  Suhana was on a wet mooring since I first launched her in 2012. 
It was important to maintain the batteries somehow. Our consumption is low 
enough that the 65 watt panel served very well on a three week cruise. Last 
thing I'll mention is that the batteries are an unknown age, ie; older than 
2011 when I purchased her. I believe the solar panel has a lot to do with them 
still being alive. New Trojan T-105s are on the menu for spring and we'll have 
shore power now for the first time :) SteveSuhana, C 32Toronto On Tue, Mar 1,

Re: Stus-List Boom to gooseneck attachment

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

It should not matter. How it should be depends more on the geometry of the sail 
and how you attach the tack to the boom and where is your first slider. I 
cannot imagine 1/2 inch would matter anyway.

I think I'm losing it.
Just put the boom back on.  The saddle on the mast holds a shaft (1/4 in) with 
an effective opening of about 3in.  My fitting on the boom that slides on that 
shaft is 2.5in.  To compensate, there is a 1/2 in tube that rides on the shaft.
I can't remember; does the tube sit on top of the boom piece or does the tube 
ride on the piece?  Does it matter?

Re: Stus-List New mattress!

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

Well guys, we tried out the mattress the other day and all I can say is
wow!  It was more comfortable that my 15" tempurpedic that we have at
home.  What a phenomenal addition to the boat.  There were some concerns
that we might feel the centerline zipper but I actually had a hard time
finding it under the sheets.  In fact after napping for 4 hours and
literally waking up in the same position as that which I fell asleep, I
rolled over and happened to run my hand fore and aft along the sheets.   It
was only then that I realized that I had been sleeping on the zipper the
entire time!

Now we have even fewer reasons to go home!
