Stus-List Small lightweight outboard???

[Dennis C. via CnC-List]

So you want a small lightweight outboard?  Look at these:

http://www.ioutboardmotors.com/2-cycle-outboards---2016-models.html

Looks like a string trimmer motor with a propeller.

I have a 2 cycle power head with interchangeable attachments.  Don't think
they make a propeller attachmentyet.  :)  That would be cool, same
power head for trimming and edging lawn and powering the dink.

Re: Stus-List Dinghy Recommendations?

[Nate Flesness via CnC-List]

voting for the keep-it-light philosophy, we're happy with a 27 lb. 1.2 HP
30 year old Johnson/Evinrude that pushes an 8 ft Walker Bay with RID kit
much faster than I can row it. We once had a water-ski boat,and  I don't
need my dink to act like that. We have davits, but hand the motor down and
up - which is why 27 lbs is perfect. Bought one well used bur running fine
for $300. Only caveat is, the little motors have little carb jets, most
anything in the gas can cause trouble. I now fill the internal tank with a
filter paper in the funnel to remove very fine crud.

Re: Stus-List Dinghy Recommendations?

The black marks from the ribbing can be greatly  minimized by smearing a 
coat of thick automotive wax on the ribs and letting it dry without 
buffing it off. Porta-bote has improved replacement seats that are a big 
improvement. I think they can probably provide replacement foam as well 
if you ask. Porta-bote is really just one guy named Sandy, and his 
assistant, in an office. The boats are manufactured under contract at a 
plastics fabricator a few miles away.  A pair of the new seats for my 8 
footer were about $300 including shipping. Worth every penny.

keeping everything as small and lite as possible.

Re: Stus-List Harken Roller furler

[Dennis C. via CnC-List]

Danny,

When my buddy and I install Harken furlers, all the fasteners get red
threadlocker.  That may be why the fasteners on the torque tube are tight.

Touche' has a Harken Size 1 Mk III that was installed in 1999.  Still works
great.  My buddy and I routinely replace other brands with Harkens.

Re: Stus-List Harken Roller furler

[Danny Haughey via CnC-List]

Ok, so the update...

I took the sail down, removed the furling line and flushed everything 
with Dawn liquid soap and fresh water.


I installed the newer furling line, I had onboard, that came from the 
main boom furler.


I checked alignment from the drum and added a block to adjust that a bit 
better.


I tried to take the sleeve off the top of the furling drum that allows 
fore-stay adjustment but, I could not budge those screws. I think they 
need to come out and get replaced with something better than a slotted 
machine screw head.  The tension seemed ok (at least to me) so, I let 
that go.


I put everything back together and the furling is working much 
smoother.  Unfurls nicely and a reasonable effort to furl manually 
without gloves.  I'd say the exercise was a success.  I'd still like to 
service it more fully this coming off season.  the good news is that I 
really see no reason I can't get plenty more use out of this old furler 
if I stay up on the maintenance.


Thanks for all the advice and insights!

Hi Edd,

I'm probably not going to be able to make it by boat, can't take the 
time off.  However, we'd like to drive out on Saturday and take a look 
at the boats, if we could.   From the schedule that looks to be at 11:00 
am?
