Re: Stus-List 37+ Prop Pitch for Universal 35

[Russ & Melody via CnC-List]

Hi Chuck,

I had a similar situation with my old cruising 
cutter with a Gori folding prop. At expected RPM 
the cruising speed was ugly and the engine 
chugged along like there was no load. Even worse, 
in a marina I learn to go full speed in reverse just to get a wee bite.


In my investigation I found the prop's 18 x 12 
expected performance was suitable for a 2:1 
transmission. The installed tranny was a 3:1, 
which is great for efficiency and performance but 
only if the prop is sized right. I think it was 
mistake when ordered (like 10 years earlier) but that is a whole 'nother story.


Do you know what degree pitch the current setting 
is? I have a vague recollection a Max prop should 
be around 14 degree for a 2:1 gearbox and hull 
speed in the 6.5 - 7 knot range.  But don't quote 
me.. the last one I set up was maybe 4 years ago.


Cheers, Russ

Any 37+ owners have this combination of prop and

I believe PYI keeps a data base of most boat/motor combinations and can
advise you on what setting to use. Give them a shout see what they
recommend.

[Mark Baldridge via CnC-List]

Chuck,

I have the original M35 and a MaxProp classic 2-blade. I get 6.2 knots 
in calm water at 2200rpms. I'll look through my documents this week when 
I visit the boat and see if the pitch is mentioned. I'm replacing the 
cutlass bearing next month, so will check then when it is on the hard.

Re: Stus-List Tablet for navigation

[Russ & Melody via CnC-List]

Hi Shawn,

I used OpenCPN and Nobeltec quite a fews ago on the West Coast cruise.

Main charts were NDI (digital ocean) and Nobeltec vr4. I did say old.
I also had C-map 93, more for entertainment and back-up. Ran them on 
two XP machines, a Dell & ThinkPad.


There is an OpenCPN chart download here:

http://opennauticalchart.org/

Mostly for entertainment as not all the marks in our area as show... 
nothing in Sooke Harbour and missing a key one in Nanaimo Harbour.

For this asking about using Android tablets offline for navigation, 
I have had no issues travelling with several Android phones and 
tablets in many countries (Japan, Central America, US and Canada) 
without cell or wifi service, either by downloading Google offline 
maps in advance, or using another offline map app. The app contains 
the offline map/chart data, and the phone/tablet merely need to 
obtain a GPS fix, which does not require either cellular data or wifi.

Re: Stus-List Water system

[Donald Kern via CnC-List]

Yes, I have always disconnected the accumulator so it will drain out the 
bottom.  The one time i forgot it cracked and had to be replaced.  Also 
all my water lines can be opened for draining at their lowest point, 
just in forward of the engine.

Subject: Stus-List Water system

Listers:
    I replaced my potable water tank last year and discovered that the 
water system must have a leak in one or more of the ancient 
hoses/fittings.  I decided that it’s time to replace the old hoses and 
check/replace fittings, and I’m considering also adding an accumulator 
tank.  The hose currently coming from the tank is 5/8” ID, but the 
accumulator tank I’m thinking about adding to the system accepts 1/2” 
ID hose.  Two questions: 1) are small accumulator tanks worth the cost 
and effort to install; and 2) is there any benefit of using 5/8” hose 
instead of 1/2” hose (or vice versa).  Please advise. Thanks.

As long as the accumulator is an air bladder type then the bladder will
expand and push all the water out and naturally prevent freezing.  I've
never done anything special.
