Re: Stus-List C 30 MKI Prop Strut

[rick bushie via CnC-List]

Gordon,

Anchovy’s strut broke in half a few years back.  First I looked for a direct 
replacement to the bolted on strut.  When that failed, I had the old strut 
braised back together.  It was beautiful…and broke the first time I left the 
dock.  Finally, I purchased a strut with a straight shank.  I cut a hole 
through the bottom of the boat and glassed it in at the proper angle.  Worked 
great.

When the used broke mined they had one recast in bronze at a foundry in New

I had one cast in Bronze for my C 27 several years ago,  using the old one
as the pattern.  It was cost effective at the time.

There are probably many sources, but I used these folks

Re: Stus-List Glow plug replacement

[Michael Cotton via CnC-List]

 Before you go do all that work and expense test the glow plugs. Use a digital 
laser thermometer and with a cold engine activate the glow plugs. Maybe even do 
it twice. Aim the laser thermometer at each glow plug. If you see any temp rise 
that glow plug is working. Glow plugs are 100% or 0% working. there is no 
inbetween. For $20. at Amazon.

Re: Stus-List Stove

[Eric Cahn via CnC-List]

Most people don’t know that what’s known as “Natural Gas” is actually
composed of multiple gases: Propane, butane, ethane, and methane. Propane,
a part of “raw” natural gas, is separated from the other gas components
during processing at most gas facilities.

Since propane contains more than twice the energy of natural gas (one cubic
foot of propane = 2,516 BTUs, while one cubic foot of natural gas = 1,030
BTUs), it’s much more efficient than natural gas.

It's mildly lighter than propane alone, but does dissipate faster in air.
