Re: Stus-List Leak into interior from sliding companioway hatch stop

2017-05-15 Thread Indigo via CnC-List
I don't know how similar the 37/40+ is to the 35mk3 but I am in process of 
addressing similar leaks. 

Taking off the hood was fairly straightforward - but did involve removing the 
traveller track. 

I also found that the aft end "stop" was loose - at one time - probably not 
original bedded with silicon.   

On the 35 this stop cannot be eliminated as it also prevents water from making 
its way under the sliding hatch - and supposed to direct the water through two 
limber holes to the channels each side. In my case the starboard side limber 
hole was completely blocked! 

I removed the stop (required removing teak bungs to access the wood screws) 
cleaned off the silicon and rebedded the stop liberally with life caulk.

Stus-List Replacement hinges 35mkIII

2017-05-15 Thread Indigo via CnC-List
Has anyone with a 35mkIII replaced the three hinges that are attached to the 
plexiglass cover for the winch handle (?) tray that is just forward of the main 
hatch. I have the hinges off the boat, and though they are stamped Perko Zinc 
there is no serial / model number. What I thought were equivalents from West 
Marine do not have the same hole pattern and thus do not line up with the holes 
in the fibreglass or the plexi. I would rather not have to replace the plexi 
just because of the hinges.  If anyone has the model number of the original 
Perko hinges, I would be most grateful.

I did.  Sea Dog makes 2 sizes that are off by about an 1/8 of an inch.  It

that was a few years back.

Re: Stus-List Leak into interior from sliding companioway hatch stop

2017-05-15 Thread mike amirault via CnC-List
If you remove the back stop you risk jamming your fingers between the top teak 
trim and the hood. You also risk breaking the plexi cover if someone shoves it 
back a little too aggressively.  As “indigo” also said, the back stop may play 
a role in diverting water into the limber holes and away from the boat’s 
interior.

Stus-List alternator testing

2017-05-15 Thread Hoyt, Mike via CnC-List
While out for a lovely day sailing Saturday we noted that the electric head was 
not draining properly.  When I checked it seems like the motor was straining 
and may need replacement.  Afterward when motoring back to our club we noted 
some issues with wind instrument and then chart plotter.  Checking voltage 
meter revealed a reading of nothing on house bank and 13 volts on starter 
battery.  Back at dock with shore power connected and charger on the voltage 
was over 12v and all systems and head functioning normally.  Next morning with 
Charging turned off the house batteries showed full charge and all was working.

A very quick check revealed no loose belts and alternator was at least 
spinning.  I was in the middle of a different project that had to be done while 
it was not raining so left it there for now (installing new genoa tracks).

What is the best place to start?

Standard alternator has in internal regulator.  I'd disconnect from shore
power and then run a load on the batteries - frig, 12 volt motor etc.
Check voltage.  Start engine, look for a jump in voltage.

Or I'd just pull the alternator and take it to be tested.  Non OEM
alternators are cheap.

I've removed/replaced several pulpits.  The hole in the deck is usually
smaller than the pulpit tube diameter.  Also, I've seen pulpit flanges with
holes that are smaller than the tube diameter.  In either case, feeding the
wire down is not a percentage shot.  The wire will hit the deck or flange
lip.

I've been able to use the old wire to pull a messenger and feed it that way
but more often that not I'll either feed it up through the deck or unfasten
and lift that pulpit leg for access.

Re: Stus-List Wire or rope halyard

2017-05-15 Thread Tom Lochhaas via CnC-List
Thank you all for your suggestions. I have decided to replace my
wire-to-rope halyard with 3/8 Samson MLX (doublebraid cover over Dyneema
core). Now my only question is whether to strip to the core for the "wire
section" of the new halyard. For me, there is still the sheave question.
Several of you have said your existing sheaves took a larger rope, others
replaced the sheave. I do believe my 1980 LF38 main halyard sheave was
intended for wire only. I don't believe I can show the photo here on this
list, but I have placed it in a public Dropbox link (below) if anyone is
interested to see it. The close-up shows the existing 3/16 wire in the
sheave. Very careful measurements of this and other photos at different
levels of magnification and angles indicate the sheave width (at the top
inside - without jumping up on the "rim" of the sheave) is slightly less
than double the diameter of the 3/16 wire. To me that suggests that even a
3/8 rope could squeeze down into the sheave under tension and cause a lot
of friction or chafing. Seems best to strip to the core (stripping to core
said to be ok with this line) for the section from inside the mast to the
sail head. Comments? Dyneema at this size is supposed to be >8000 lb
strength, so I think even a knot on the shackle wouldn't weaken it to any
dangerous level. (I have no splicing skill.)  Double bowline for slick line
(tightened up under winch tension) or other suggestion? Thanks. Photo at

I replaced all of my wire-rope halyards with all rope.  I also replaced
some of my sheaves (http://www.zephyrwerks.com/), since the edges were so
sharp that I felt they would fray the rope halyards. I just used ordinary
double braid - not high tech line.  Unless you're a racer who is losing
races by seconds, I would be more concerned with my sails and my crew work.

Dyneema is very slippery, so a splice is best.  Uncovered Dyneema is so
easy to splice even I can do it.  You taper one fid lenght, bury a total of
3 and lock stitch it.

Bruno,



My boat came with an installed propane sensor which did not work and a 
solenoid.  The circuit is fed from its’ own breaker.  I ended up replacing the 
sensor with a Fireboy Xintex.  See: 
http://www.fireboy-xintex.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/S-1A-Manual.pdf for 
wiring instructions.  The sensor is mounted under the stove.  I hope this helps.

Hi,



I want to install a propane detector and i wanted to ask the list how to do it 
properly. Does it have to be wired to the battery like a bilge pump or i can 
wire it to the solenoid switch ?



Is there a safety code that appplies ?



i plan to install it as low as possible near the stove.



Thanks.

Stus-List Looking for recommendation for a good rigger

2017-05-15 Thread Jim via CnC-List
Hi group:

I need rigging repairs to my 29 located on the northern Chesapeake. I reached 
out to Walden rigging, the only riggers I know of, around here, who have a 
great rep. Sadly they are so busy, it may be late July before I will be able to 
get my repairs done and use my boat.

There are a bunch of riggers based out of Annapolis, which is about 1.5 hours 
away,  but I don't know who to contact.

Anybody on this list have a recommendation?

Thanks

Re: Stus-List Replacement hinges 35mkIII

2017-05-15 Thread Indigo via CnC-List
Thanks for this. I contacted Perko and they were able to give me the exact 
dimensions / hole placements etc and gave me a part number (0851DP1CHR). Found 
it a local, well stocked marine store shout out to Rex Marine in Norwalk CT!  - 
NOT West! and confirmed by comparing old to New that is the same!  Only 
downside is that they come two to a pack and I need 3!!

I took my Navtec backstay adjuster to The Rigging Company and was pretty

Have you checked with Tidewater in Havre de Grace?   They've been around a

Is the mast down?  you could try rigging only and mail your stuff there 
and they will duplicate it or if you know your exact dimensions and 
specs they could make it and ship it.  rigging only is in Fairhaven, MA 
and pretty reasonable

Re: Stus-List Replacement hinges 35mkIII

2017-05-15 Thread Jim Watts via CnC-List
Yes, I still have one as a backup.

That hinge stock number is actually 0951DP1CHR.

Perko also makes the same hinge in zinc, which is what C&C used in the
first place, at least on my boat. Part number for that is 0808DP0CHR.

The zinc ones are way cheaper than the bronze ones, but will definitely
decay faster in salt water. I went cheap, I can replace these about five
times for the cost of the bronze ones.
