Re: Stus-List Treating Monel water tanks

[Russ & Melody via CnC-List]

Hi Joel,

Why are you looking for a chlorine alternative?

It is probably your best choice to treat monel 
tanks. Monel is spec'd in many chlorine handling 
applications because of its excellent corrosion resistance.


It is an excellent oxidizer, will kill 
undesirable microbes and is unstable enough to be 
non-reactive in a relatively short time. Apply to 
the tank a week or more before you're going away. Golden.


Cheers, Russ
Sweet 35 mk-1

I always had problems with water going bad over 
time (we don’t use too much of it). This thing 
keeps it fresh longer (a month? 6 weeks?).

Interestingly, I could not find it anywhere else 
on the web, so it might be Canadian specific.

Re: Stus-List 33-2 music and speakers

[Dave S via CnC-List]

Checked today, and the speakers are Teac Ls-8x and are working fine,
surrounds appear ok.

They seem very well made but were mounted horizontally, and aimed in
such a way that the listener is well off-axis.  Also, they are
probably not very efficient and have an 8ohm nominal impedance, so
driving them with the anemic Pioneer stereo (50 BS watts per channel @
4 ohms, means not many watts RMS @ 8 ohms... to Sylvain and Leslie's
point.) I think they need more power via an external amp.  Will need
to make that switchable to save battery when Windstar is off the
grid...

Interesting that so many have cockpit speakers.   Was going to get a
little rechargeable Bluetooth thing for that, can't bear to cut holes,
and the 33's cockpit is pretty cramped as it is.

Not a very "C&C" post, but it is nice to be fussing with little stuff
like this vs major repairs and upgrades.

Thanks all for the input.

Dave
