Re: Stus-List Wanted to buy: 34+/36xl, 110, or 37+/40

2017-08-02 Thread Fred Hazzard via CnC-List
I helped a friend bring his Amel up from the Baha last year. What a cushy
ride.  I brought my racing gloves assuming I would be handling lines.  The
most work I did was push buttons. Roll the sail out. Roll the sail in.Trim
the sail in. Let it out.  All motorized. This is a boat with a main, genoa
and mizzen. I got a blister on my finger.
All the comforts of home. Wash, dryer. Huge refrigerator/ freezing.  Umm
cold beer.  Three air conditioning systems.
I brought my foul weather gear.  Sitting under the hard dodger I had to put
on a long sleeve shirt on the midnight watch when it was blowing 25 to 30.
If I went  long term cruising I would like to have a boat like the Amel.

I’ve often wondered if that configuration is a good or bad idea.  Seems to me 
that the cockpit may not drain as well when heeled over a lot because the 
thru-hull on the other side will be higher.  Any other thoughts on this issue?

On our 33 MK2, the cockpit drain lines are cross routed to through hulls

This way when the boat is heeled over water can not come up the drain line.

Hi Barbara,

I have a 33-1 with the same configuration.  I don't see any need to change
it as It works well for draining small amounts of water.   However, when
you need to empty the cockpit in a hurry, say when its been filled after
being pooped by a breaking wave, you need more drain cross-section.  I
added a 2" (or maybe its 1.5") drain from the cockpit aft bulkhead (as
close to the cockpit floor as possible) angled down slightly to the
transom.   I can tell you that the last time I was up to my knees in water,
I was pleased to have the extra drainage!

Best,

David

 Finally had a day under 90 F friday and went out sailing.  Winds at 20 
 with gusts as high as 28mph; used my 160% genny only and it was a great

 One thing to remember about the Garhauer vang is that the attachment to 
 both the mast and the boom are custom made for the boat (you send them the 
 profile of the mast and boom when you order the vang), and the plates 
 attached to the mast and boom wrap significantly around the spars. (On my 
 25 about half of the boom is cradled in the attached plate. ) So the 
 fasteners connecting the plate to the spar are under primarily shear 
 loading, not tensile.
  
 For this sort of configuration, the additional cross section of the 
 machine screw (or cap screw, if you use  those) would seem the better 
 choice. If, however, you have something like a Boomkicker, or a vang with 
 “generic” mounting plates that don’t curve around the spars, rivets might 
 be a better choice.

Re: Stus-List Re-routing cockpit drain lines

2017-08-02 Thread Matthew L. Wolford via CnC-List
I’ve often wondered if that configuration is a good or bad idea.  Seems to me 
that the cockpit may not drain as well when heeled over a lot because the 
thru-hull on the other side will be higher.  Any other thoughts on this issue?

Barbara,

On our 33 MK2, the cockpit drain lines are cross routed to through hulls 
(port/starboard hull beneath cockpit. 
This way when the boat is heeled over water can not come up the drain line.

  Hi Barbara,

  I have a 33-1 with the same configuration.  I don't see any need to change
  it as It works well for draining small amounts of water.   However, when
  you need to empty the cockpit in a hurry, say when its been filled after
  being pooped by a breaking wave, you need more drain cross-section.  I
  added a 2" (or maybe its 1.5") drain from the cockpit aft bulkhead (as
  close to the cockpit floor as possible) angled down slightly to the
  transom.   I can tell you that the last time I was up to my knees in water,
  I was pleased to have the extra drainage!

  Best,

Re: Stus-List Clogged icebox drain

2017-08-02 Thread Allen White via CnC-List
I had the same situation with the drain on my 26. When all efforts of snaking, 
vacuuming, and applying compressed air from both ends failed, I resorted to 
cutting an access hole into the inaccessible area below the icebox for a peek. 
Somehow the hose got twisted 360 degrees and was simply "kinked".  Try twisting 
the hose 1 turn in either direction with a quntity of water in the box. You'll 
know pretty quickly if you get it freed.

Re: Stus-List Diesel in bilge

2017-08-02 Thread Matthew L. Wolford via CnC-List
FWIW, I also re-fuel using 5-gallon cans unless I’m going on a long trip.  I 
try to plan it so I use up older fuel each season.  Has worked so far, but my 
fuel gauge stopped working this season and I’m starting to get a little nervous 
about how much is in there.

Subject: Re: Stus-List Diesel in bilge

Remember too that if there is fuel in the fill hose that there is fuel in the 
vent hose.  Often times the vent hose isn't inspected or replaced at the same 
periodicity. 

Main Sailor did some experimenting with fuel tanks and condensation.  FWIW he 
did not find that any more condensation accumulated in a partial tank.  As such 
I take a different approach to fueling my boat.  Typically I won't use the 
entire 40 gallon capacity of my tank in a single year.  So unless I'm going on 
a long trip I only fuel up with 10 to 15 gallons.  I try to plan it so that I 
can fill via jerry cans through a filter funnel.  At roughly 1 gallon per hour 
I know that I'm good for 10+ hours at full load.  It only takes about 30 
minutes to motor out and motor in so I get a minimum of 10 day sails between 
fill ups and that is very conservative.  By filling in this manner my fuel 
always stays fresh and any minor contaminants will get diluted by the next fill 
up.

leaking.   Mystery???

  Any ideas where I should concentrate on for the source of it?

Subject: Stus-List 73 30 MK1 Bilge Pump

While we're having so many conversations on bilge pumps, I have another 
question for you.  I picked up a project  '73 30' MK 1.  There is a float 
switch in the bilge, right under the forward access hole.  There are wires 
leading forward through the bilge toward the mast, as well as a hose that leads 
out of the bilge, around the head, up the wall by the holding tank, and out 
through a drain at the top of the hull (I had assumed it to be a vent 
previously).  I have reached up through the bilge as far as I can, put a camera 
in there and took some pictures, used a mirror and flashlight, everything I 
could think of (I don't have a borescope), but I can't find the pump or the end 
of the hose/wires.  Does anybody know how to access the pump and whether it is 
screwed down?  It almost has to be forward of the mast, but I can't reach it.  
I don't want to pull too hard on the hose, but I need to find the pump and see 
what kind of shape it is in.  Any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve
