Stus-List Re: handrail

2021-04-14 Thread Rick Brass via CnC-List 
It would help if you told us what model of C you have, Bo. Different models 
have different means of attaching the handrails.

 

On my 25 there is a long, probably 1/8th or 3/16ths wood screw from the inside 
of the cabin and into the “legs” of the hand rails. The screw heads are covered 
by plastic caps (were originally chrome plated metal) that fill the holes in 
the headliner and cover the scre heads.

 

On my 38, each leg of the handrail has a fastener about 2” long that is a wood 
screw on one end and a machine screw on the other. Can’t recall the name of the 
fastener. The wood screw is driven into the “leg” of the handrail, and a washer 
and nut are on the machine screw end inside the cabin top. The fasteners and a  
lot of other stuff like backing plates for  winches is hidden by removable 
headliner panels.

 

I’ve also been aboard a C that had “bungs” in the inside overhead handrails 
that were screwed through the cabin top and into the legs of the outside hand  
rails.

 

Obviously YMMV.

Bo,

Are there visible bungs on top of handrail?  If so remove them and  see if 
screwed from top.

If no bungs on top of handrail they must be screwed from below.  Get a bright 
light in one Hole and see if you can see screw head.  

I would be shocked if someone epoxied to deck.  Would be very weak connection 
as grain of wood would be weak point.

Thus a bolt/screw on the inside screws into these nuts--more or less! 

  

I say this because depending on how well the cabin-top holes match the external 
hand rail standoffs, it may not be possible to get a bolt/screw into each 
standoff. If this is the case, some of the standoffs may not have bolts/screws 
in them. 

  

In my case, with SS steel external rails and standoffs, there is no way to get 
a misaligned screw hole to accept a nut or screw, without re drilling a new 
hole or enlarging the original one.

I'd always been told it's better to set bungs (the plugs) by dipping them in 
varnish before tapping them into place. That way, the varnish will act as a

With glue they would need to be drilled out.

Joel - if you mean on Lake Ontario just tether to your phone  (Wired or 
hotspot)  - most marinas have wifi for use when you are docked, but this can be 
quite unreliable, so having the phone as a backup (have a good data plan) makes 
sense regardless.  I can’t recall being out of cell coverage anywhere on the 
lake.  
If you haven’t, wire a higher current 12v USB charger into the house system so 
you can keep the phone charged should you need it.

Joel,

I don’t have anything that connects to internet far offshore, but in most 
places I cruise, my iPhone picks up 5G service which I then tether via hotspot 
to my laptop or to a WiFi repeater I have on board (if you ever see a WiFi 
network named “Starfleet Subspace”, look for my boat!)

5G is fast enough for Zoom and weather, though video may get a little jumpy.

Mine had a screw in each of those holes. Some broke when i took them out.
You won’t reuse them. I replaced mine with ss screws. You may have to work
at getting some broken screws of the the exterior handrail and that may
mean drilling a bigger hole and plugging it before you reassemble. I put 6
costs of cetol on my exterior handrails before i reassembled and i used
butyl tape as the sealant.

One cause of rough running that I haven't seen mentioned is a sticking
exhaust valve. This is very common on A4s and easy to address by fogging
the engine with Marvel Mystery Oil. With the engine running, pour a small
amount of MMO into the air intake. Repeat a few times and it will usually
free up the valves.
