Kevin is correct. 207 hardened when over wood rather than 206 as I previously 
mentioned. I did use 207 as well. 206 will not flow properly on wood.

Did this last year on our 34'. Dave and Mike are spot on with everything. 
Definitely tape the lines where you will be cutting to protect the veneer. I 
also used a circular saw, table saw, jig saw and a router. Used a hand planner 
for final tweaking of the cuts.

My new lines were not the same width as the old but it wasn't much of an issue. 
When you trace out the templates it isn't too hard to line everything up.

One thing I did that I didn't see mentioned was to drill all holes before 
applying any epoxy. I also epoxied the whole thing to seal it in completely, 
then finished with epifanes. I used West system 105/207. The 207 is a clear 
hardener that won't mess up the top finish.  I did about 3-4 coats of each. A 
foam roller for the epoxy and foam brushes for the varnish. I tried the cheapo 
chip brushes but continuously got stray bristles everywhere.

The epoxy if I remember correctly you didn't want it to dry completely between 
coats.
The varnish I wet sanded in between coats. Gradually getting higher in grit 
between each.

Try to control dust as much as possible. Do this in a clean area where there 
isn't much traffic. Or surround it all by plastic to prevent anything from 
getting into it.

It was definitely a long, tedious process. But it was definitely worth it. Our 
old sole was chipping and so deteriorated. But once this went in, it was like 
it was a new boat.

Jonathan,

I don’t have much to add to what Mike has said but his is pretty good advice. 
I’ve replaced the cabin sole on “Ronin” twice. You should need two 4’x8’ pieces 
of teak and holly plywood. I suspect that it will be 3/4” just like our 37’. As 
Mike said, get your wallet out…

I used a router for the final edging to size. Like Mike, I used a “Skillsaw” 
for the long straight edges and a Bosch jig-saw for smaller cuts into corners. 
I kept the dimensions at least 1/4” larger than the original flooring layout.

I used the old flooring as a template and router guide, with attendant 
problems
  to produce the final product. West System 
epoxy
 for sides and backs. The first set that I built lasted about 12-14 years but 
moisture will infiltrate over time, especially if the holes for screwing the 
flooring in are dry. I used gloss Awlwood for surfacing, finished off with a 
standard satin finish varnish. The first time I did this job I finished with a 
gloss finish. I decided over time that I preferred satin.

One thing to keep in mind: The original teak and holly that C&C used in my 1982 
model was NOT the same as what is currently being sold. The new teak and holly 
plywood has wider parallel widths.

One thing is for sure, when you are done it will look tremendous!

Hi Jonathan

I just completed this project in the Spring of 2016.  The Frers 33 is not the 
same boat as the C&C 35-III but a lot of the techniques for this job are 
similar so I will answer a bit of what I can to some of your questions.

First be prepared for sticker shock.  I purchased a single 4x8 sheet of 3/4 
inch teak and holly and it was over $600 CAD.

1a) Lining up.  I took out all of the existing pieces and took them home.  When 
I traced out and before cutting the new pieces I lined up the holly lines with 
those of the pieces being replaced with the assumption that it would line up 
the same as the old sole.  It did.  I think the first step will be to ensure 
your current sole does in fact have the strips lined up.

1b) Number of pieces. Try an inexpensive piece of 4x8 pressboard or paneling or 
something similar that is 1/4 inch thick.  When I bought my sheet of teak and 
Holly it came with something like this to protect the surface during transport. 
 Once you have this lay out the pieces of old sole on top and trace them out.  
You can then turn it over to trace out the remaining pieces on the back.  Is 
kind of like a jigsaw puzzle but will give you a pretty clear picture how many 
pieces of sole material are needed.  If you use a couple of these 1/4 4 x 8 
sheets you could also cut out the traced piece

Re: Stus-List Replacing Cabin Sole - 35MkIII

2017-09-28 Thread Nauset Beach via CnC-List
When I did this 10+ years ago [albeit not on a C&C] I used the existing pieces 
as templates and then dry fit them, sanding any rub points from my less than 
perfect cuts.  All was good.  Applying multiple coats of epoxy and then varnish 
on the pieces, particularly on the bilge board, built up the widths of the 
pieces so they no longer fit together well.  Had to sand and re-coat the edges 
and the bilge board still rubs.  Something a little forethought might have 
prevented.  

 

The moral of the story is to leave sufficient space on the edges when 
confirming a dry fit for the thicknesses of whatever coatings you apply.

Subject: Stus-List 3GMD engine blow back

Hi

I continue to try and understand what is wrong with my engine without paying 
more good money.  And I have started looking for a new motor.

First the problem.  The engine recently started to leak a fair amount of oil 
and to start poorly.  We spent a lot of time trying to find exactly where the 
leak was from and I had thought it was the head gasket.  The local mechanic, 
Charles at Gartside, said he really didn't think it would be the head gasket as 
he had never seen an oil leak from one.  We cleaned the engine with brake 
cleaner, got some florescent tracing dye, put it in the engine and let it run 
for an extended period.  Although we some some oil leak never saw the 
florescence with a black light.

Regardless we decided it must be coming from the intake manifold.  Of course 
the leak is where it is almost impossible to get to but where the leak occurs 
there aren't too many options.  The intake manifold can get too much oil in it 
if there is blowback increasing air pressure in the valve and rocker arm cover. 
 So, while the engine was running I pulled off the breather hose which runs 
from the cover to the manifold.  And there was pressure and there was oil which 
blew all over.

Now for the first question.  Everything I read says this is a result of a worn 
engine - rings, cylinder walls, etc. which leaks air into the crankcase 
building up pressure.  Has anyone ever seen a different reason for this?  I had 
a compression test done about 8 months ago and all was fine then.  But that was 
then.  My take is a 37 year old raw water cooled engine is not worth that kind 
of repair, albeit it only has 2,000 hours on it.

Second question.  I'm currently looking at a Yanmar and a Beta engine.  Any 
comments?  The Beta is cheaper.  Also they sell a 25 HP which seems about right 
for the boat.  Both appear too wide to get in on my C&C 34.  Anyone have 
experience with this?

Thanks

Stus-List Mainsail pre-feeder?

2017-09-28 Thread Dennis C. via CnC-List
OK, has any lister seen a mainsail pre-feeder/feeder that goes in a track
with slides?

Let me clarify so I don't get replies that miss the mark.  Touche's
mainsail slot has slides, not slugs.  A slug is round, slides are "T"
shaped.  Slugs go into a round slot.  Slides go into a "T" shaped slot.

Here is a feeder for a slug slot:

Here is a feeder that attaches to the mast:

I see lots of mainsail pre-feeders/feeders that go in the round slug slot
or attach to the mast across the slot with fasteners but I can't find any
that simply go into the "T" shaped slot.

I guess slides are outdated?  Was kinda wanting a pre-feeder that I could
simply put in the slot.

May have to get a slug feeder and replace the slug with a flat metal
slide.  :(

If you listen to what Peggy Hall says, use Teflon-based thick grease 
(SuperLube). Don’t put it into the bowl; rather, unscrew the  pump and put it 
there from the back end. It should last a year  or so.

Any oil in your holding tank would only create clogs.

I've tried tried "head lube", TefGel, wheel grease, couple other things.
Nothing works as well as Superlube.

So, primarily, I use Superlube.  Pop the top off the Jabsco pump assembly,
pull out the plunger, wipe some on the plunger o-ring and the shaft and
re-install.

In between SuperLube applications, I use olive oil.  I keep a small bottle
of olive oil on the boat for cooking.  Each spring, I replace the bottle
with a new one.  What's left in the old bottle becomes interim head lube.

Re: Stus-List Mainsail pre-feeder?

2017-09-28 Thread Hoyt, Mike via CnC-List
I think the feeders are formations with bolt rope. We had on our last boat. 
This boat uses slugs and the stay in slot when sail is down. You have me 
thinking though ...

OK, has any lister seen a mainsail pre-feeder/feeder that goes in a track with 
slides?

Let me clarify so I don't get replies that miss the mark.  Touche's mainsail 
slot has slides, not slugs.  A slug is round, slides are "T" shaped.  Slugs go 
into a round slot.  Slides go into a "T" shaped slot.

Here is a feeder for a slug slot:  
https://www.mauripro.com/us/product/SPIRFMA.html

This is a slide:  
http://www.nauticexpo.com/prod/allen-brothers/product-29493-218604.html

Here is a feeder that attaches to the mast: 
http://www.apsltd.com/dinghy-sail-feeder-8mm-max-luff-1.html

I see lots of mainsail pre-feeders/feeders that go in the round slug slot or 
attach to the mast across the slot with fasteners but I can't find any that 
simply go into the "T" shaped slot.

I guess slides are outdated?  Was kinda wanting a pre-feeder that I could 
simply put in the slot.

May have to get a slug feeder and replace the slug with a flat metal slide.  :(

Re: Stus-List Mainsail pre-feeder?

2017-09-28 Thread ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List
I don't know why you need a pre-feeder.  Pre-feeders are only needed if you
don't have slugs or slides on the luff.  Once the main is up, you just need
something to close the entry slot.  Then when you drop the main, it stays
in the track.  Am I missing something?

I, too, use the Tides Marine Strong Track.  It's expensive, but well worth
the money.

Re: Stus-List Gas solenoid

2017-09-28 Thread David Knecht via CnC-List
Just to report back as the results have me confused.  When we test the system 
when we noticed the problem, my recollection is that the panel switch was 
tripping whether the lighted switch was on or off.  I bought a new solenoid, 
replaced the old rusted mess that was in there and now all works fine.  What I 
can’t figure is how the solenoid could have been tripping the panel switch with 
the lighted off.  The most likely explanation is that I did the test wrong or 
did not remember the result correctly.  That only happens about 10 times a day, 
so quite possible.  Dave
