Stus-List Any C&C 35 MK I Salvage Boats?

[Joe Della Barba via CnC-List]

There are a few things I might want to make life easier vs. refinishing the 
existing pieces. I have no idea if any boats exist being parted out.

I get stuck in an endless loop of “Weather is nice, rather sail than epoxy” and 
then “It is 35 degrees and raining, January turns out not to be a good time for 
outside work”.

Stus-List Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: C&C 35 MK I Keel Bolts

[Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List]

I am safe from that, the deepest the water ever freezes is a couple of inches 
down from the surface and even that is rare. Plus unless the power goes out the 
heat in the cabin is set for about 50F when I am not around.
All the live-aboards string fresh water houses around the marina on the bottom 
and pull them up when they need water, they never freeze 6 feet underwater.
I have seen wet rudders split on the hard when we have extra-cold winters. If I 
ever sat on the hard in winter I might drill a drain hole in the rudder or take 
it home and put it inside somewhere.

Interesting indeed - especially the part about freeze/thaw  keel casting

leaking bedding, imperfect casting, or lose bolts may also contribute.

Here’s what casting failure looks like:

I believe our C&C yachts use lead doped with  a percent of Antimony. The 
Antimony adds strength, hardness, oxidation resistance,  and aids in the flow 
for the casting process.
It not like pure lead, and the properties are not the same. maybe we have some 
metallurgists in the group, and they can comment ?

The keel bolts are in lead. Lead is soft and eventually they would pull upwards 
slightly.  I would assume that is why.   I have been planning to contact 
MARSKEEL and get some pro info.

I think if you had water ingress and sloved the issue by tightening the nuts on 
your keel bolts then getting good effect from the bedding compound used was the 
problem. Anybody know what bedding compound was used on build.

Stus-List Re: Fresh water pump dead?

[Dave S via CnC-List]

I.ve managed to keep mine healthy also, though if not used it can go off,
particularly in the hot water tank.
Based on his many years' experience, my Dad advised a beginning of season
flush (shock I guess)  through the tank, all pumps and fittings with  a
high concentration of bleach/water, then rinse/refill with clean water.   I
will add approx 1 tbsp or so of bleach to the full 113l tank if it's going
to sit.   (I wrote the exact amount on the tank.)the HW tank may start
to go off if I've not used the boat enough, in which case I drain and
repeat the process. Seems to work fine.  Have shared this with others
who've struggled to keep their water fresh with similar results.

When cruising (12 days max so far, always in midsummer heat)  I fill not
only the tank, but also several 1.5l water bottles.   I freeze those at
home and stack in the bottom of the fridge to the extent that space
permits.  I thaw these one at a time as they get used.cooking, coffee,
tooth-brushing etc is done with the tank water,  and drinking from cold
bottled water.   If I refill the tank mid-cruise, I also refill the
bottles.   If the boat hasn't been sitting idle for weeks I am comfortable
with the tank water though I'll likely get a filter at some point.
